Susu is solving the quadratic equation 4x2-8x-13=0 by completing the square. her first four steps are shown in the table. a table listing the first few steps in deriving the quadratic formula in which step did susu first make an error? step 1 step 2 step 3 step 4

Respuesta :

The error is in step 2 in step 2 Susu forgot to divide 8 by 4 for finding the solution of a quadratic equation.

What is a quadratic equation?

The name Quadratic comes from "quad" meaning square, because the variable gets squared (like x2). It is also called an "Equation of Degree 2"

Susu is solving the quadratic equation [tex]4x^2-8x-13=0[/tex] by completing the square

To apply to completing the square method we need to get x^2 alone

Susu added 13 on both sides. So step 1 is correct

When we factor out 4, we divide both terms by 4

[tex]4(\dfrac{4x^2}{4}-\dfrac{8x}{2})=13[/tex]

[tex]4(x^2-2x)=13[/tex]

Susu forgot to divide 8 by 4

So , error in step 2
