Q. Solve by completing the square.v2+30v=49Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.v= _____ or v= _____
Write Equation Form: Write the equation in the form of v2+bv=c. The given equation is already in this form: v2+30v=49.
Complete Square:Complete the square by adding (b/2)2 to both sides of the equation.Since (30/2)2=225, add 225 to both sides to complete the square.v2+30v+225=49+225v2+30v+225=274
Factor Left Side: Factor the left side of the equation.The left side is a perfect square trinomial.(v+15)2=274
Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.(v+15)2=±274v+15=±274
Solve for v: Solve for v by isolating the variable.Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.v=−15±274
Calculate Decimal Values: Calculate the approximate decimal values of v.274 is approximately 16.55 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).v≈−15+16.55 or v≈−15−16.55v≈1.55 or v≈−31.55
