But it has two perfectly good solutions!

They happen to be complex numbers ... with real and imaginary parts ...

but that shouldn't be a show stopper.

What is the square root of x to the power of 2 minus 14x plus 49?

(x - 7) is.


What number must you add to complete the square of x2 plus 14x equals -5?

Improved answer:5x2+14x+5 = 5-5x2+14x+5 = 0Solve by completing the square:(x+7)2+5 = 0(x+7)2+5-49 = 0(x+7)2 = 44x+7 = + or - the square root of 44x = -7 + or - the square root of 44


What number would you have to add to both sides to complete the square x2 - 14x equals 7?

x2 - 14x = 7 add (14/2)2 to both sidesx2 - 14x 72 = 7 + 72(x - 7)2 = 56 take the square root to both sidesx - 7 = +&- sq. root of 56x = - 7 +&- 2(sq. root of 14)


What is the solution of x squared-14x plus 49 equals 4?

Notice that the left side of the equation is a perfect square (x - 7)2 = x2 -14x + 49. so (x - 7)2 = 4. Take square root of both sides: x - 7 = ± 2, x = 9, or x = 5.
