Question

Rewrite the equation by completing the square.X^2 + 11x + 24 = 0

Answer 1

(x+11/2)^2 = 25/4

did it on khan, hope this helps<3

Answer 2

For this case we can complete the square on this way:

`x^2+11x+((11)/(2))^2+24-((11)/(2))^2`

and if we simplify we got:

`(x+(11)/(2))^2+24-(121)/(4)=(x+(11)/(2))^2-(25)/(4)`

We can use this property:

`(a^2+2ab+b^2)=(a+b)^2`

For this case:

`a=x,b=(11)/(2)`
