To write the given quadratic equation to its vertex form, we first form a perfect square.
 
                x² - 2x + 5 = 0
Transpose the constant to other side of the equation,
                x² - 2x = -5
Complete the square in the left side of the equation,
              x² - 2x + (-2/1(2))² = -5 + (-2/1(2))² 
Performed the operation,
                x² - 2x + 1 = -5 + 1
Factor the left side of the equation,
               (x - 1)² = -4

Thus, the vertex form of the equation is,
          <em>  (x-1)² + 4 = 0</em>

Find the length x (I'm giving 10 points if you answer this question wrong just to get the 10 points I will report your account)

Okay so here's how i think you solve it


both triangles have the same ratio, so set it as 3/4.5 (the smaller triangle) is equal to X/13.5 (the 9 added to the 4.5)

multiply 13.5/1 on both sides to get x alone

13.5 3
-------- x ------- = x x= 9

Sam travel 20 miles in three hours. Sam walked part of the distance at a speed of 4 mph. Sam rode his bicycle for the remaining
enot [183]

Answer:

Sam sokey 0.5 hours biking and 3.5 hours walking

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of hours spent walking and biking

Mathematically; distance = speed * time

Let the number of hours spent walking be x and the number of hours spent biking be y

Mathematically;

x + y = 3 •••(i)

distance spent walking = 4 * x = 4x miles

distance spent biking = 12 * y = 12y miles

4x + 12y = 20

divide through by 2

2x + 6y = 10 ••••••(ii)

From i , x = 4-y

Substitute this into ii

2(4-y) + 6y = 10

8 - 2y + 6y = 10

8 + 4y = 10

4y = 10-8

4y = 2

y = 2/4 = 0.5 hours

The number of hours spent walking = 4-0.5 = 3.5 hours
