Q. Solve by completing the square.\newlineh214h+33=0h^2 - 14h + 33 = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlineh=h = _____ or h=h = _____
  1. Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation in the form of h2+bh=ch^2 + bh = c.\newlineSubtract 3333 from both sides to set the equation up for completing the square.\newlineh214h+3333=033h^2 − 14h + 33 - 33 = 0 - 33\newlineh214h=33h^2 − 14h = -33
  2. Subtract 3333: Find the number to add to both sides to complete the square.\newlineSince (142)2=49(-\frac{14}{2})^2 = 49, add 4949 to both sides.\newlineh214h+49=33+49h^2 − 14h + 49 = -33 + 49\newlineh214h+49=16h^2 − 14h + 49 = 16
  3. Find Number to Add: Factor the left side of the equation.\newlineh214h+49=16h^2 - 14h + 49 = 16\newline(h7)2=16(h - 7)^2 = 16
  4. Factor Left Side: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.\newline(h7)2=16\sqrt{(h - 7)^2} = \sqrt{16}\newlineh7=±4h - 7 = \pm 4
  5. Take Square Root: Solve for hh.\newlineAdd 77 to both sides of both equations.\newlineh7+7=4+7h - 7 + 7 = 4 + 7\newlineh=11h = 11\newlineAnd for the negative root:\newlineh7+7=4+7h - 7 + 7 = -4 + 7\newlineh=3h = 3
