Q. Solve by completing the square.d2−22d+45=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.d=_____ or d=_____
Write Equation Form: Write the equation in the form of d2+bd=c.Subtract 45 from both sides to set the equation up for completing the square.d2−22d+45−45=0−45d2−22d=−45
Subtract to Prepare: Find the number to add to both sides to complete the square.Since (−222)2=121, add 121 to both sides.d2−22d+121=−45+121d2−22d+121=76
Find Number to Add: Factor the left side as a perfect square trinomial.d2−22d+121=76(d−11)2=76
Factor Perfect Square: Take the square root of both sides.(d−11)2=±76d−11=±76
Take Square Root: Solve for d by adding 11 to both sides.d−11+11=±76+11d=11±76
Solve for d: Calculate the approximate values of d.d≈11±8.72 (since 76≈8.72)d≈11+8.72 or d≈11−8.72d≈19.72 or d≈2.28
