Q. Solve by completing the square.j2−22j+19=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.j= _____ or j= _____
Rewrite equation: Rewrite the equation in the form of j2+bj=c. The given equation is already in this form: j2−22j+19=0. Subtract 19 from both sides to set the equation up for completing the square. j2−22j=−19
Subtract and set up: Find the number to add to both sides to complete the square.To complete the square, we need to add (b/2)2 to both sides, where b is the coefficient of j. In this case, b=−22.(−22/2)2=(−11)2=121Add 121 to both sides of the equation.j2−22j+121=−19+121j2−22j+121=102
Find completing square number: Factor the left side of the equation.The left side of the equation is now a perfect square trinomial.(j−11)2=102
Factor left side: Take the square root of both sides.To solve for j, take the square root of both sides of the equation.(j−11)2=±102j−11=±102
Take square root: Solve for j.Add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate j.j=11±102To find the decimal approximation, calculate the square root of 102 and round to the nearest hundredth.102≈10.10j≈11±10.10
Solve for j: Find the two values of j. j≈11+10.10 implies j≈21.10. j≈11−10.10 implies j≈0.90. Values of j: 21.10, 0.90
