Q. Solve by completing the square.p2+16p=35Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.p= _____ or p= _____
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation in the form of p2+bp=c.Subtract 35 from both sides to set the equation to zero.p2+16p−35=0
Complete the Square: Choose the equation after completing the square.Since (216)2=64, add 64 to both sides to complete the square.p2+16p+64=35+64p2+16p+64=99
Factor Left Side: Identify the equation after factoring the left side.(p+8)2=99
Take Square Root: Identify the equation after taking the square root on both sides.Take the square root of both sides of the equation.(p+8)2=±99p + 8 = ±99
Isolate Variable: Choose the equation after isolating the variable p. To isolate p, subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. p+8−8=±99−8p=−8±99
Calculate Approximate Values: Calculate the approximate values of p, rounding to the nearest hundredth.p≈−8+99 or p≈−8−99p≈−8+9.95 or p≈−8−9.95p≈1.95 or p≈−17.95
