x2 - 6x = 16 ∴ x2 - 6x + 9 = 25 ∴ (x - 3)2 = 25 ∴ x - 3 = 25 ∴ x = 28
x2+4x+4 = 25 x2+4x+4-25 = 0 x2+4x-21 = 0 (x+7)(x-3) = 0 x = -7 or x = 3
x = - 4 - or + the square root of 3 Solved by using the quadratic equation formula.
5. A circle with centre (0,0) has equation: x2 + y2 = radius2 With: x2 + y2 = 25 = 52 The radius is 5.
Rearrange: x2 - 10x + 25 = 0ie (x - 5)(x - 5) = 0x = 5Check: x2 = 25; 10x - 25 = 50 - 25 = 25. Job done
