What are the solutions of this quadratic equation?
X^2 = 16x – 65

x=4+7i and x=4-7i

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the given quadratic equation by completing the square.

x^2-8x=-65

x^2-8x+16=-65+16

x^2-8x+16=-49

(x-4)^2=-49

Now, solve the equation by applying the square root property and isolating x.

(x-4)^2=-49

√(x-4)^2 = √-49

x-4=+7i

x=4+7i

So, the solutions to the given quadratic equation are x+4+7i and x=4-7i.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
