QuestionSolve the equation x29=6x-x^{2}-9=6 x for the variable xx.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is x9=6x-x^{}-9=6 x . We need to solve for xx

STEP 2

First, we need to rearrange the equation to a standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c =0. We can do this by adding x2x^2 and subtracting 6x6x from both sides of the equation.
x26x9=0-x^{2} -6x -9 =0

STEP 3

Now, we have the equation in the standard quadratic form.x2+6x9=0x^{2} +6x -9 =0

STEP 4

Next, we can solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}.

STEP 5

First, identify the values of aa, bb, and cc in the equation x2+x9=0x^{2} +x -9 =0.
a=1,b=,c=9a =1, b =, c = -9

STEP 6

Now, plug in the values of aa, bb, and cc into the quadratic formula.
x=6±6241(9)21x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 -4*1*(-9)}}{2*1}

STEP 7

implify the equation inside the square root.
x=6±36+362x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36 +36}}{2}

STEP 8

Calculate the value inside the square root.
x=6±722x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{72}}{2}

STEP 9

implify the square root.
x=6±622x = \frac{-6 \pm6\sqrt{2}}{2}

STEP 10

Finally, divide all terms by2 to get the solutions for xx.
x=3±32x = -3 \pm3\sqrt{2}The solutions for the equation x29=6x-x^{2}-9=6 x are x=3+32x = -3 +3\sqrt{2} and x=332x = -3 -3\sqrt{2}.
