Can someone help?
Use completing the square to solve the equation x 2 + 6 x + 8 = 0.
Select the correct answer.
x = - 2, x = - 4
x = 8, x = - 6
x = - 6, x = 0
x = 2, x = 4
none of these

/////
x^2+6x+9-9+8=0
(x+3)^2=1
x+3=+-1
x=-2,-4
Solve the equation by factorizing (x^2 + 6x + 8)
(x+4)(x+2)
As 4x + 2x = 6x
and 4 * 2 = 8
Therefore x = -4 , -2
so(a) x=-2, x= -4
x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0
(x + 3)^2 - 1 = 0
(x + 3)^2 = 1
x + 3 = 屉1
x + 3 = ±1
x + 3 = 1
x = 1 - 3
x = -1
x + 3 = -1
x = -1 - 3
x = -4
â´ x = -4 , -2
x^2+6x+9-9+8=0
(x+3)^2=1
x+3=+-1
x=-2,-4
the correct answer is the first one
you can prove this by substituting the values in for x
4-12+8=0
and
16-24+8=0
I don't believe that completing the square would be a good way to solve this problem
a simple factoring will do it
(x+?)(x+?)
what multiplies to give 8 and adds to give six (4 and 2)
(x+4)(x+2)
foil check
x^2+4x+2x+8
x^2+6x+8
so, if (x+4)(x+2)=0, then either x=-4, or x=-2
of course, you can solve this completing the square, but why?
x^2 +6x+8=0
orx^2 +2.3.x+3^2-3^2+8=0
or (x+3)^2-9+8=0
or (x+3)^2=9-8=1
or x+3= +1 OR -1
or x= -3+1 or -3-1
or x= -2 or -4 ans
x² + 6x + 8 = 0
x² + 6x + 9 = 9 - 8
(x + 3)² = 1
x + 3 = ± 1
x = - 2 , x = - 4
(x+4)(x+2)=0
So either x+4=0 or x+2=0
Solving each gives x=-4 or x=-2
