I suspect the equation was supposed to be:

b^2 + 8b + 1 = -6

If so, subtact 1 from each side:

b^2 + 8b = -7

Take half of the "b" term's coefficient (8b) which is 4, and square it, which is 16. Add this to both sides:

b^2 + 8b + 16 = 9

Factor left side:

(b+4)^2 = 9

Square of both sides, remembering to have a +/- on the right:

b+4 = +/-3

Therefore:

b = -4 +/- 3
b = -7 or -1

Did you mean b^2+8b+1 =-6?
If so,
Equation: b^2+8b+1
(b^2+8 b)+1
(b^2+8 b+(8/2)^2)+1-(8/2)^2
bx+8/2)^2+1-64/4
(b+4)^2-60/4
(b+4)^2-15=-6
(b+4)^2=15-6
(b+4)^2=9
(b+4) = +/-3
b= -4 +/-3
b=-4-3 =-7
b=-4 +3 =-1
b=-7,-1

Cheating is 'AGAINST' school policy and could result in your removal from CAVA High school. Anyone caught cheating will receive a 'zero' on the final exam and a possible 'F' for the entire semester!!!

You need to have enough integrity 'not' to cheat! Very Disappointing!!!

b^2 + 8b+1+-6
b^2+8b+(1-6)=b^2+8b-5
b^2+8b=5
coeff. of b=8
half the coeff.of b=4
square of half the coeff of b=16
add the square of the coeff to both sides
b^2+8b+4^2=5+16
(b+4)^2=21
b+4=Square root of 21
b= -4+4.9 or -4-4.9
b= 0.9 or -8.9
參考: well i used a calculator

b^2 + 8b + 1 = -6
b^2 + 8b + 1 + 6 = 0
b^2 + 8b + 7 = 0
(b + 4)^2 - 9 = 0
(b + 4)^2 = 9
b + 4 = ±√9
b + 4 = ±3

b + 4 = 3
b = 3 - 4
b = -1

b + 4 = -3
b = -3 - 4
b = -7

∴ b = -1 , -7

i believe it is actually b^2+8b+1=-6
b^2+8b+1=-6
Subtract the constant 1,
b^2+8b=-7
Note:
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
so far we have the a^2+2ab part
(b)^2+2(b)(4)=-7
to complete add (4)^2
(b)^2+2(b)(4)+(4)^2=-7+(4)^2
(b+4)^2=-7+16
(b+4)^2=9
square root both sides
b+4=+/-sqrt9
b+4=+/-3
b=-4+/-3
that's 2 solutions:
b=-4-3=-7
and
b=-4+3=-1

{-7,-1}



hope this helped. peace

b^2+8b+16-21
(b+4)^2 - 21
2008-06-12 4:39 pm
b^2+8b+1+-6

This isn't an equation, doesn't equal anything.
