Which Quadratic equation is equivalent to (x-4)^2-(x-4)-6=0
Accepted Solution
A:
For this case, we must find the quadratic equation equivalent to:
[tex](x-4) ^ 2- (x-4) -6 = 0[/tex]By definition we have to:
[tex](a-b) ^ 2 = a^2-2ab + b ^ 2[/tex]So:
[tex](x-4) ^ 2 = x ^ 2-2 (x) (4) + 4 ^ 2 = x ^ 2-8x + 16[/tex]So, we have:
[tex]- * + = +\\- * - = +[/tex][tex]x ^ 2-8x + 16-x + 4-6 = 0[/tex]Equal signs add up and the same sign is placed.
Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.

[tex]x ^ 2-9x + 14 = 0[/tex]
