Q. Solve by completing the square.h2−24h=13Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.h=_____ or h=_____
Write Equation in Form: Write the equation in the form of h2+bh=c. The given equation is h2−24h=13.
Complete the Square: Add (2b)2 to both sides to complete the square.Since b=−24, (2b)2=(2−24)2=(−12)2=144.Add 144 to both sides of the equation.h2−24h+144=13+144h2−24h+144=157
Factor Left Side: Factor the left side of the equation.The left side is a perfect square trinomial.(h−12)2=157
Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.(h−12)2=±157h−12=±157
Solve for h: Solve for h. Add 12 to both sides of the equation. h=12±157
Calculate Approximate Values: Calculate the approximate decimal values of h, rounded to the nearest hundredth.157≈12.53h≈12+12.53 or h≈12−12.53h≈24.53 or h≈−0.53
