Q. Solve by completing the square.t2−28t=−13Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.t= _____ or t= _____
Write Equation Form: Write the equation in the form of t2+bt=c. The given equation is t2−28t=−13. We want to complete the square on the left side.
Add 13 and Isolate: Add 13 to both sides to isolate the t2 and t terms on one side.t2−28t+13=0
Complete the Square: To complete the square, we need to add (2b)2 to both sides, where b is the coefficient of t. In this case, b=−28, so (2b)2=(2−28)2=(−14)2=196.t2−28t+196=13+196
Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation. t2−28t+196=209
Factor as Perfect Square: Factor the left side as a perfect square.(t−14)2=209
Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides to solve for t.(t−14)2=±209t−14=±209
Isolate and Solve for t: Isolate t by adding 14 to both sides.t=14±209
Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root of 209 and round to the nearest hundredth.209≈14.45t≈14±14.45
Find Values of t: Find the two values of t.t≈14+14.45 implies t≈28.45.t≈14−14.45 implies t≈−0.45.Values of t: 28.45, −0.45
