Solve for uu where 2u2+14u+24=(u+3)22 u^{2}+14 u+24=(u+3)^{2}. If multiple solutions, list them separated by commas.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is quadratic in nature. We are looking for real solutions for uu

STEP 2

We are given the equation2u2+14u+24=(u+)22 u^{2}+14 u+24=(u+)^{2}

STEP 3

First, we need to expand the right side of the equation (u+3)2(u+3)^{2}.
(u+3)2=u2+23u+32(u+3)^{2} = u^{2} +2*3*u +3^{2}

STEP 4

Calculate the expanded form of (u+3)2(u+3)^{2}.
(u+3)2=u2+6u+9(u+3)^{2} = u^{2} +6u +9

STEP 5

Now, substitute the expanded form of (u+3)2(u+3)^{2} back into the original equation.
2u2+14u+24=u2+u+92 u^{2}+14 u+24 = u^{2} +u +9

STEP 6

To solve for uu, we need to bring all terms to one side of the equation. Subtract u2u^{2}, 6u6u, and 99 from both sides.
2u2u2+14u6u+249=02 u^{2} - u^{2} +14 u -6u +24 -9 =0

STEP 7

implify the equation.
u2+u+15=0u^{2} +u +15 =0

STEP 8

Now, we need to factor the quadratic equation. We are looking for two numbers that multiply to 1515 and add to 88.
(u+5)(u+3)=0(u +5)(u +3) =0

STEP 9

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for uu.
u+5=u +5 =u+3=u +3 =

STEP 10

olve for uu in each equation.
u=5u = -5u=3u = -3The solutions for uu are 5-5 and 3-3.
