Anthony is solving the equation x^2-12x=16 by completing the square. what number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square?

add (12/2)^2 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-12x=16

x^2 -12x + (12/2)^2 = 16 + (12/2)^

x- (12/2)^2=52

(x-6)^2=52

Answers:

x= -2 root 3 +6

x= 2 root 3 +6

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
