To solve the given equation by completing the square.
Answer to Problem 43SGR
The values of a is null, since there are no real roots.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The function provided is
Formula used :
To solve an equation by completing the square, divide the coefficient of n of the equation by 2 and square it. That should provide the constant value. Then the equation would be of the form
Calculation :
Given equation
Here
For making the expression a perfect square.
This is the value of the constant.
Make left hand side a perfect square using the value of b .
Adjust the values accordingly
Since the right-hand side of the equation is a negative value, the square root cannot be obtained. This signifies that there are no real values of the equation.
