This is my math hw please check it for me

#

Correct but why did you reject the negative solution and wrote it in only 1 significant figure

lilac pike
#

The solution I needed was the positive one

lilac pike
#

I only wrote it in one sig fig because the exact answer is about 10.92 or smth so it rounds down

rugged cliff
#

That is 3 sf

#

I would skip the third line from the bottom so I'm not obliged to give both to 1 decimal place

Math is fun

Where did you get (x-5)^2 from, surely x^2 +10x + 25= (x+5)^2

#

are you calculating something in physics

#

Aid this suvat?

frozen grail
#

idk if thats 9,9 or 9.9 or just 9x^2

glossy barn
#

looks like -4.9 to me

lilac pike
#

It's 10.9 😑

#

And

#

0.9

frozen grail
#

also square root is written above the entire thing ur rooting

#

not just like a part of it

#

this is 0.9?

glossy barn
#

has to be -4.9 right

frozen grail
#

idk it could be 4 it could be 9

ok

yuh

#

bro I'm so paranoid Abt SIG fig cause physics

#

u lose a mark if it's the wrong sig fimig

rugged cliff
#

lol same but I think they only deduct a mark for that once for the entire paper

frozen grail
#

first way (left) obviously doesnt take us far, but its worth knowing, in other instances, right side is the way for this one

rugged cliff
#

what does the left side do

frozen grail
frozen grail
rugged cliff
#

oh cool

frozen grail
#

like (x-9)×(x-1)=19

rugged cliff
#

I think they are just learning how to complete the square

frozen grail
#

like for stuff like this

#

and also its just a good skill to get under ur hands when tryna draw graphs, find definition intervals, range intervals ect.

#

and sometimes, when the solution are x∈Z this is just a way to find both/doubled roots

rugged cliff
#

why not (x-5)^2 - 15 = 0

frozen grail
#

works even better, yeah

#

we could go on

#

depends on what ur looking for based on the rest of the problem
