Q. Solve by completing the square.h2−30h=41Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.h= _____ or h= _____
Rewrite in standard form: Write the equation in the form of h2+bh=c. We have the equation h2−30h=41.
Move constant term: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.h2−30h+(230)2=41+(230)2
Complete the square:Complete the square by adding (230)2 to both sides of the equation.h2−30h+225=41+225
Simplify equation: Simplify both sides of the equation. h2−30h+225=266
Factor left side: Factor the left side of the equation.(h−15)2=266
Take square root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.(h−15)2=±266h−15=±266
Solve for h: Solve for h by adding 15 to both sides of the equation.h=15±266
Calculate decimal values: Calculate the approximate decimal values of h, rounded to the nearest hundredth.h≈15+266≈15+16.31≈31.31h≈15−266≈15−16.31≈−1.31
