Answer:

25 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Group x² and x terms

(x² - 10x ) - 20

complete the square

(x² - 10x +25 ) -20 -25

(x-5)² -45

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you're completing the square you're adding (b/2)^2 which in this case is (-5)^2 or 25. This is because when you rewrite it as a square binomial you write it in the form (x+(b/2))^2 which is going to result in x^2+b+(b/2)^2. Since you need to reach 25 you need to add 45 since the last value is at -20.

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is $4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution:

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

$0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})$

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

Steps to follow:

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

$0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}$

So the given expression becomes,

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ as common term,

$\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)$

$\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Thus option C is correct

Find the angle theta in radians. ( PLEASE SHOW STEPS )

yKpoI14uk [10]

Hello!

As you can see, we have a radius of 6. If we divide, this means that this is 2.5 radians. To convert radians to degrees we use the formula below.

$\frac{180}{ \pi }x$

First of all we divide 180 by pi.

180/ $\pi$ ≈57.3

Now we multiply by 2.5

57.3(2.5)=143.25°

Note that the angle we see is obtuse, or greater than 90°.

Therefore, ∠θ≈143.25°

Now we need to convert this back into radians. This can be represented by the equation below.

$\frac{ \pi }{180}x$

First we divide pi by 180 then multiply by our angle.

$\pi$ /180(143.25)≈2.5

Therefore, our angle theta is about 2.5 radians.

I hope this helps!
