Chapter 2: Problem 102

Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Solve by completing the square: \(y^{2}-6 y-4=0\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solutions to the given quadratic equation are \(y=3+\sqrt{13}\) and \(y=3-\sqrt{13}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the coefficients

The coefficients are \(a=1\), \(b=-6\), and \(c=-4\).
02

Rewrite the equation

Rewrite the equation into a form with a perfect square: \(y^{2}-6y+(-6/2)^{2}=4+(-6/2)^{2}\) which simplifies to \(y^{2}-6y+9=4+9\).
03

Complete the square

This will result in a perfect square. So, the equation becomes \((y-3)^{2}=13\). The square of half of the coefficient of \(y\) which is 3, is subtracted and added to make a perfect square.
04

Take square root on both sides

Computing square root on both sides gives \(y-3=\pm\sqrt{13}\). This is done because every positive real number has two square roots, one positive and the other negative.
05

Solve for y

Finally, solve for \(y\) to get the two roots of the equation: \(y=3\pm\sqrt{13}\). This is done by transferring the 3 which is subtracted to the other side of the equation as addition.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The domain of \(f\) is the same as the range of \(f^{-1}\).

Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Use the graph to determine whether the function has an inverse that is a function (that is, whether the function is one-to-one). $$ f(x)=-\sqrt{16-x^{2}} $$

Begin by graphing the cube root function, \(f(x)-\sqrt[3]{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ r(x)-\frac{1}{2} \sqrt[3]{x-2}+2 $$

Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a \([-5,5,1]\) by \([-5,5,1]\) viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$g(x)=x^{\frac{2}{3}}$$

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. If \(f(x)=x^{3}\) and \(g(x)=-(x-3)^{3}-4,\) then the graph of \(g\) can be obtained from the graph of \(f\) by moving \(f\) three units to the right, reflecting about the \(x\) -axis, and then moving the resulting graph down four units.
