Complete the square and find x. 9x^2-6x+21=0

Given the equation :


9x^2 -6x
+21 = 0


We need to solve by completing the
square.


==> Let us rewrite 21 = 21
+1


==> 9x^2 -6x + 1 + 20 =
0


==> (3x-1)^2 + 20 =
0


==> Now we will move 20 to the right
side.


==> (3x-1)^2 =
-20


Now we will take the square root of both
sides.


==> 3x-1 = sqrt-20 = 2sqrt-5 =
2sqrt5*i


==> 3x-1
=2sqrt5*i


==> 3x = 1+
2sqrt5*i


==> x1 = (1/3) + (2sqrt5)/3
*i


OR :


-(3x-1) =
2sqrt5*i


==> -3x +1 =
2sqrt5*i


==> -3x = -1 +
2sqrt5*i


==> x2 = (1/3) -(2sqrt5)/3
*i


Then we have two
solutions:


x= { (1/3)+2sqrt5/3 *i ,  (1/3) 8
(2sqrt5/3)*i }

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
