Solve for x in the equation x squared + 2 x + 1 = 17.
x = negative 1 plus-or-minus startroot 15 endroot
x = negative 1 plus-or-minus startroot 17 endroot
x = negative 2 plus-or-minus 2 startroot 5 endroot
x = negative 1 plus-or-minus startroot 13 endroot

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

Subtract both sides by 17.

         .... (1)

If a quadratic equation is , then by quadratic formula

In equation (1), a=1, b=2 and c=-16. Using quadratic formula we get

Taking out common factors.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The answer to your question is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Write the equation

                                 x² + 2x + 1 = 17

Factor the first term

                                 (x + 1)² = 17

Get the square root

                                 (x + 1) =

Result

                                x₁ = - 1 +

                                 x₂ = -1  -                                

for the first question it would be the second answer for the second question it would be the third answer and for the third question it would be the first answer
