Q. Solve by completing the square.\newlined222d+45=0d^2 - 22d + 45 = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlined=d = _____ or d=d = _____
  1. Write Equation Form: Write the equation in the form of d2+bd=cd^2 + bd = c.\newlineSubtract 4545 from both sides to set the equation up for completing the square.\newlined222d+4545=045d^2 - 22d + 45 - 45 = 0 - 45\newlined222d=45d^2 - 22d = -45
  2. Subtract to Prepare: Find the number to add to both sides to complete the square.\newlineSince (222)2=121(-\frac{22}{2})^2 = 121, add 121121 to both sides.\newlined222d+121=45+121d^2 − 22d + 121 = -45 + 121\newlined222d+121=76d^2 − 22d + 121 = 76
  3. Find Number to Add: Factor the left side as a perfect square trinomial.\newlined222d+121=76d^2 - 22d + 121 = 76\newline(d11)2=76(d - 11)^2 = 76
  4. Factor Perfect Square: Take the square root of both sides.\newline(d11)2=±76\sqrt{(d - 11)^2} = \pm\sqrt{76}\newlined11=±76d - 11 = \pm\sqrt{76}
  5. Take Square Root: Solve for dd by adding 1111 to both sides.\newlined11+11=±76+11d - 11 + 11 = \pm\sqrt{76} + 11\newlined=11±76d = 11 \pm \sqrt{76}
  6. Solve for dd: Calculate the approximate values of dd.d11±8.72d \approx 11 \pm 8.72 (since 768.72\sqrt{76} \approx 8.72)d11+8.72d \approx 11 + 8.72 or d118.72d \approx 11 - 8.72d19.72d \approx 19.72 or d2.28d \approx 2.28
