Sawa Dennis, twende kazi.

Ili kutatua mlinganyo wa quadratic kwa kukamilisha mraba, tunafuata hatua hizi:

  1. Weka mlinganyo sawa na sifuri na hamisha nambari isiyo na xx (constant term) upande wa kulia.

    Mlinganyo uliotolewa ni x2+6x−720x^2 + 6x - 720. Tunauweka sawa na sifuri:

    x2+6x−720=0x^2 + 6x - 720 = 0

    Ongeza 720 pande zote mbili:

    x2+6x=720x^2 + 6x = 720
  2. Kamilisha mraba upande wa kushoto.

    Chukua nusu ya mgawo wa xx (ambayo ni 6), kisha ipandishe mraba.
    Nusu ya 6 ni 62=3\frac{6}{2} = 3.
    Mraba wa 3 ni 32=93^2 = 9.
    Ongeza 9 pande zote mbili za mlinganyo:

    x2+6x+9=720+9x^2 + 6x + 9 = 720 + 9
  3. Andika upande wa kushoto kama mraba kamili na kurahisisha upande wa kulia.

    (x+3)2=729(x + 3)^2 = 729
  4. Chukua mzizi wa mraba pande zote mbili.

    (x+3)2=±729\sqrt{(x + 3)^2} = \pm\sqrt{729} x+3=±27x + 3 = \pm 27
  5. Tatua kwa xx.

    Kuna uwezekano mbili:

    Uwezekano wa kwanza:

    x+3=27x + 3 = 27

    Toa 3 pande zote mbili:

    x=27−3x = 27 - 3 x=24x = 24

    Uwezekano wa pili:

    x+3=−27x + 3 = -27

    Toa 3 pande zote mbili:

    x=−27−3x = -27 - 3 x=−30x = -30

    Hivyo, suluhisho za mlinganyo ni:

    x=24 au x=−30x = 24 \text{ au } x = -30
