Answer:
x = - 2 -[tex]\sqrt{15\\[/tex]
x = - 2 + [tex]\sqrt{15[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation needs to be solved by completing the squares.
The required values are -2+√15, -2-√15
The given equation is [tex]x^2+4x-11=0[/tex]
The general form of a quadratic equaiton is [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]
Comparing with the given equation we have
a = 1
b = 4
c = -11
Rearranging the equation
[tex]x^2+4x=11[/tex]
Finding (b/2)²
[tex](\dfrac{4}{2})^2=4[/tex]
Adding to both sides of the equation
[tex]x^2+4x+4=11+4\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2=15\\\Rightarrow x+2=\pm\sqrt{15}\\\Rightarrow x=-2+\sqrt{15},-2-\sqrt{15}[/tex]
