If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2-15x-10=0, which number would have to be added to complete the square

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

            [tex]\bold{\dfrac{225}4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2-15x-10=0\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot\frac{15}2+(\frac{15}2)^2-(\frac{15}2)^2-10=0\\\\(x-\frac{15}2)^2-\frac{225}4-10=0[/tex]

So to complete the square we need to add (and subtract) the number  [tex]\frac{225}4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1) B - 5/4

2) A. The cost of delivery is $120

3) C 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The demarcations on the x-axis = -10 to 10

The demarcations on the y-axis = -10 to 10

The coordinates of two points on the graph are (0. 7), and (4, 2)

The slope, m, of a graph is given by the following equation;

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Given that (x₁, y₁) = (0. 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (4, 2), we have;

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{2-7}{4-0} = -\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

The slope, m = -5/4

Taking B. as = -5/4

2. The given information are;

The nature of the cost of delivery of crushed stone = Cost of delivery, A

The function, f, for the cost of crushed stone of mass, x is the cost C, f(x) = C = m × x + A

Whereby the the graph of the total cost of the crushed stone is a straight line graph, we have;

C = m × x + A

At the y-intercept, x = 0, we have;

C[tex]_{(y-intercept)}[/tex] = m × 0 + A

C[tex]_{(y-intercept)}[/tex]  = A = Cost of delivery

The points on the line are;

(0, 120) and (400, 134), therefore, the slope, m, is given as follows;

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{134-120}{400-0} = \dfrac{14}{400} = 0.035[/tex]

We have;

(C - 134) = 0.035×(x - 400)

C = 0.035·x - 14 + 134 = 0.035·x + 120

C = 0.035·x + 120

At the y-intercept, x = 0, we have;

C[tex]_{(y-intercept)}[/tex] = 0.035 × 0 + 120

C[tex]_{(y-intercept)}[/tex]  = 120 = Cost of delivery

Therefore, the cost at the y-intercept = The cost of delivery = $120

3. The coordinates of points on the graph are;

(0, 1) and (2, 0)

The slope, m = (0 - 1)/(2 - 0) = -1/2

The equation of the line in point slope form is given as follows;

(y - 0) = -1/2 × (x - 2)

y = -x/2 + 1

The x-intercept occurs at the point y = 0, which is presented as follows;

0 = -x/2 + 1

-x/2 = -1

x = -1 × (-2) = 2

x = 2

Therefore, the y-intercept occurs at x = 2.

The correct option is

Audrey and Addy also went hiking up Mount Olympus. Audrey's distance in June was 2.95 miles and for July 2 5/8 miles. Addy went 2.85 miles in June and 3 3/8 miles in July. How much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July? *Answer will be in decimal form

Answers

Answer:

Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In June we have the following distance traveled by Audrey (Au) and Addy (Ad):

[tex] Au_{Jun} = 2.95 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jun} = 2.85 miles [/tex]

And, in July we have:

[tex] Au_{Jul} = 2 + 5/8 miles = 21/8 miles = 2.625 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jul} = 3 + 3/8 miles = 27/8 miles = 3.375 miles [/tex]

Hence in June and July, they traveled:

[tex] Au_{T} = Au_{Jun} + Au_{Jul} = 2.95 miles + 2.625 miles = 5.575 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{T} = Ad_{Jun} + Ad_{Jul} = 2.85 miles + 3.375 miles = 6.225 miles [/tex]

Now, we can find how much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July:    

[tex] d = Ad_{T} - Au_{T} = 6.225 miles - 5.575 miles = 0.65 miles [/tex]

Therefore, Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

f(x)=20x

What is the practical domain of the function?​

Answer: Domain: {x : 0≤ x ≤50   }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total amount of money Raul will make from selling X coupon books is represented by a function.

[tex]f(x)=20x[/tex]

Domain is the set of x values in a function for which it is defined.

Here, X= Number of coupon books .

Raul has 50 coupon books to sell.

So, 0≤ x ≤50  , as it is possible that non of that book will sell.

Hence, Domain: {x : 0≤ x ≤50   }

Answers

See attachment for math work and answer.

a) The expression will be zero when x = -4 or 8

b) The trinomial equivalent of the expression is x²  - 4x  -  32

c) The trinomial equals to zero when x = 8

The given expression is (x  - 8)(x  + 4)

a) For what value of x will the expression be equal to zero

(x  - 8)(x  + 4)  =  0

This can  be split into:

x  -  8   =   0

That is,  x  = 8

x  +  4  =  0

That is,  x = -4

The expression (x  - 8)(x  + 4) equals to zero when x = -4 or x = 8

b) Write this product as an equivalent trinomial.

A trinomial is a polynomial expression with three terms

Expand (x - 8)(x + 4)

x² + 4x  - 8x - 32

x²  - 4x  -  32

c) Show that this trinomial is also equal to zero at the larger value of x from part (a)

The larger value of x from part (a) is 8

Substitute x = 8 into x²  - 4x  -  32

8² - 4(8)  -  32

=  64  -  32 - 32

Answer to Parallelogram JKLM question:

Q = 110° & ST = 9 ft

Explanation:

When reflecting this, the angle/side lengths remain the same. That means the information is going to be the exact same. All you have to do is figure out what corresponds to what from JKLM to QTSR.

If we reflect a figure across a horizontal reflection line through its center, the figure will just flip sides. Making L = K, M = J, and so on.

Basically, flip the shape upside down for this problem, and look at that and the shape without angles, find the corresponding letter to the angle to get your answer. In this case, Q is that corresponding letter. Meaning your answer for Q = 110°

When it comes to figuring out ST, since the shape is just flipped and all the lines making the parallelogram are equal to each other, the feet remains the same. Meaning ST = 9 ft.
