Q. Solve by completing the square.\newlines216s=37 s^{2}-16 s=37 \newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decima rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlines= s= \newline \square or s= s= \square \newlineSubmit
  1. Rewrite Equation: Step 11: Start by rewriting the equation to prepare for completing the square.\newlines216s=37s^2 - 16s = 37
  2. Add Completing Square: Step 22: To complete the square, add (b2)2(\frac{b}{2})^2 to both sides. Here, b=16b = -16, so (162)2=64(\frac{-16}{2})^2 = 64.\newlines216s+64=37+64s^2 - 16s + 64 = 37 + 64\newlines216s+64=101s^2 - 16s + 64 = 101
  3. Factor Trinomial: Step 33: Factor the perfect square trinomial on the left side.\newline(s8)2=101(s - 8)^2 = 101
  4. Take Square Root: Step 44: Take the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.\newlines8=±101s - 8 = \pm\sqrt{101}
  5. Solve for s: Step 55: Solve for ss by adding 88 to both sides.\newlines=8±101s = 8 \pm \sqrt{101}\newlines8+10.05s \approx 8 + 10.05 or s810.05s \approx 8 - 10.05\newlines18.05s \approx 18.05 or s2.05s \approx -2.05
