By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

Find the measure of the arc indicated.

ella [17]

A.) 155
123 + 47 + 35 = 205
Subtract 205 with 360 (360 is the measure of a circle) and you will be left with 155°.
