#can you guys check my math homework

Correct but why did you reject the negative solution and wrote it in only 1 significant figure
The solution I needed was the positive one
I only wrote it in one sig fig because the exact answer is about 10.92 or smth so it rounds down
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

Where did you get (x-5)^2 from, surely x^2 +10x + 25= (x+5)^2
*4
if you would type a bit better, it would be more pleasant
idk if thats 9,9 or 9.9 or just 9x^2
looks like -4.9 to me
also square root is written above the entire thing ur rooting
not just like a part of it
this is 0.9?
has to be -4.9 right
idk it could be 4 it could be 9
That's 4.9
ok
10.9 is
yuh
bro I'm so paranoid Abt SIG fig cause physics
u lose a mark if it's the wrong sig fimig
lol same but I think they only deduct a mark for that once for the entire paper
first way (left) obviously doesnt take us far, but its worth knowing, in other instances, right side is the way for this one
what does the left side do
its used for finding centers of geometrical shapes, intersections, ect and shit, and can ease the work some times
oh cool
like (x-9)×(x-1)=19
I think they are just learning how to complete the square
yeah they are, but this is gonna be handy later
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
why not (x-5)^2 - 15 = 0
works even better, yeah
we could go on
depends on what ur looking for based on the rest of the problem
and it is correct btw
For the problem we had to solve via completing the square
