What number would you add to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square?

The number would you add to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square option C 7²/2.

<h3>What is completing the squares method for solving the quadratic method?</h3>

Suppose the considered quadratic equation is of the form

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then, completing the squares method tries to make a squared term in terms of x in the left side, so that x comes in linear form, instead of quadratic.

The given quadratic equation is

x² + 7x = 4

add  7²/2 to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square

7²/2 = 49/4

x² + 7x + 49/4 = 4+ 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 4+ 49/4

Thus, option C 7²/2 is correct.

-5= s<br> —<br> 18<br> Someone help please I’m stuck
Vlad1618 [11]

-5=s/18

Pretend that s/18 is 1/18s

-5=1/18s

Multiply by 18/1 for both sides

-5(18/1)=1/18(18/1)s

Cross out 1 and 1, divide by 1 and then is one.

Cross out 18 and 18, divide by 18 and then is one.

s=-90

Answer: s=-90

Prove Forall x elementof Z, x^2 - 5x - 1 is odd.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let Z be a set of integers

We have to prove that x^2-5x-1 is odd for all value of x \inZ.

There are two cases

1.When x is an odd integer number

2.when x is even integer number

1.When x is an odd integer  number

When x is positive odd integer

Then x^2  is positive odd number (because square of odd positive number is always positive an odd number )

5x is also odd number

-5x -1 = -even number

Suppose x=3

Then -15-1=-16

Odd number - even number=Odd number

Hence ,x^2-5x-1 is an odd number .

When x is negative odd number

Then  x square is positive odd number  and 5x is negative odd term term

Therefore,odd number + odd number -1=Even  number -1=Odd number

Hence x^2-5x-1 is an odd number.

2.When  x is an even number

When x is positive even number

x square is positive even number  and 5x is positive even number

Even number -Even number -1 =Even number -odd number =Odd number

Suppose x=4

x^2-5x-1=16-20-1=-5=Odd number

When x is negative even number

Then x square is positive even number  and 5x is negative even number

x^2-5x-1=Even number +Even number -1=Even number -1=Odd number

Hence, for all elements of Zx^2-5x-1is odd.

How to find the area of a triangle with a base of 32ft
Sergeu [11.5K]
Well to find the area of any figure you must first have knowledge on the formula. The formula for a triangle is 1/2 x b x h. Since you have the base 32, multiply that by 1/2 which will give you 16. Then you have to multiply 16 by the height. I'm not sure what the height is because you never gave me one but hopefully this helped! God bless :)

Im pretty sure the answer is .52 I got this by subtracting the toatl by the sales tax and then dividing that total by how many pencils were bought : 6.70-.42=6.24, 6.24/12=54
