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.

3. A balancing balloon toy is in the shape of a hemisphere (half-sphere) attached to the base of a cone. If the toy is 4ft tall

Katen [24]

Answer:

The volume of the toy is $V=5.23\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the hemisphere

The volume of the hemisphere is given by the formula

$V=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}$

In this problem, the wide of the toy is equal to the diameter of the hemisphere

so

$D=2\ ft$

$r=2/2=1\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$V=\frac{2}{3} \pi (1)^{3}=\frac{2}{3} \pi\ ft^3$

step 2

Find the volume of the cone

The volume of the cone is given by

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

we know that

The radius of the cone is the same that the radius of the hemisphere

so

$r=1\ ft$

The height of the cone is equal to subtract the radius of the hemisphere from the height of the toy

$h=4-1=3\ ft$

substitute the given values

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (1)^{2}(3)=\pi\ ft^3$

step 3

Find the volume of the toy

we know that

The volume of the toy, is equal to the volume of the cone plus the volume of the hemisphere.

so

$V=(\frac{2}{3} \pi+\pi)\ ft^3$

$V=(\frac{5}{3}\pi)\ ft^3$

assume

$\pi=3.14$

$V=\frac{5}{3}(3.14)=5.23\ ft^3$

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width. The perimeter is 64 feet. Find the length and the width

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle formula = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width.

Hence,

L = 8 - W

The perimeter is 64 feet.

Hence,

64 = 2(8 - W) × 2W

64 =( 16 - 2W )2W

64 = -4W² + 32W

4W² - 32W + 64 = 0

Factorise

4W² - 16W - 16W + 64 = 0

4W (W - 4) - 16(W - 4) = 0

W - 4 = 0

W = 4

Width = 4

Solving for L

L = 8 - W

L = 8 - 4

L = 4

Therefore,

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet
