x^{2}-7x-9=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-7\right)±\sqrt{\left(-7\right)^{2}-4\left(-9\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -7 for b, and -9 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-7\right)±\sqrt{49-4\left(-9\right)}}{2}
Square -7.
x=\frac{-\left(-7\right)±\sqrt{49+36}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -9.
x=\frac{-\left(-7\right)±\sqrt{85}}{2}
Add 49 to 36.
x=\frac{7±\sqrt{85}}{2}
The opposite of -7 is 7.
x=\frac{\sqrt{85}+7}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{7±\sqrt{85}}{2} when ± is plus. Add 7 to \sqrt{85}.
x=\frac{7-\sqrt{85}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{7±\sqrt{85}}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract \sqrt{85} from 7.
x=\frac{\sqrt{85}+7}{2} x=\frac{7-\sqrt{85}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}-7x-9=0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
x^{2}-7x-9-\left(-9\right)=-\left(-9\right)
Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-7x=-\left(-9\right)
Subtracting -9 from itself leaves 0.
x^{2}-7x=9
Subtract -9 from 0.
x^{2}-7x+\left(-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}=9+\left(-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}
Divide -7, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{7}{2}. Then add the square of -\frac{7}{2} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-7x+\frac{49}{4}=9+\frac{49}{4}
Square -\frac{7}{2} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}-7x+\frac{49}{4}=\frac{85}{4}
Add 9 to \frac{49}{4}.
\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{85}{4}
Factor x^{2}-7x+\frac{49}{4}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{85}{4}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{7}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{85}}{2} x-\frac{7}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{2}
Simplify.
x=\frac{\sqrt{85}+7}{2} x=\frac{7-\sqrt{85}}{2}
Add \frac{7}{2} to both sides of the equation.
