Q. Solve by completing the square.h2−14h+33=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.h= _____ or h= _____
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation in the form of h2+bh=c.Subtract 33 from both sides to set the equation up for completing the square.h2−14h+33−33=0−33h2−14h=−33
Subtract 33: Find the number to add to both sides to complete the square.Since (−214)2=49, add 49 to both sides.h2−14h+49=−33+49h2−14h+49=16
Find Number to Add: Factor the left side of the equation.h2−14h+49=16(h−7)2=16
Factor Left Side: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.(h−7)2=16h−7=±4
Take Square Root: Solve for h.Add 7 to both sides of both equations.h−7+7=4+7h=11And for the negative root:h−7+7=−4+7h=3
