Accepted Solution

A:
we have that

N 1)
a² − 9a + 14 = 0 
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation(a² − 9a)=-14Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 
(a² − 9a+20.25)=-14+20.25
Rewrite as perfect squares(a-4.5)²=6.25--------> (a-4.5)=(+/-)√6.25
a1=4.5+√6.25-----> a1=7a2=4.5-√6.25-----> a2=2the solution problem N 1 is the pair {7, 2}
N 2) a² + 9a + 14 = 0
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation(a² + 9a)=-14Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 
(a² +9a+20.25)=-14+20.25
Rewrite as perfect squares(a+4.5)²=6.25--------> (a+4.5)=(+/-)√6.25
a1=-4.5+√6.25-----> a1=-2a2=-4.5-√6.25-----> a2=-7the solution problem N 2 is the pair {-2,-7}N 3) a² + 3a − 10 = 0Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation(a² + 3a)=10
Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 
(a² + 3a+2.25)=10+2.25
Rewrite as perfect squares(a+1.5)²=12.25------> (a+1.5)=(+/-)√12.25
