Fill in the blank to make the expression a perfect square:

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

So here you're just completing the square. the equation you gave is simply: n^2+16n+c where c is the unknown value we're solving for. Whenever you complete the square, you add (b/2)^2

The reason for this, is because whenever you write a binomial as a perfect square it's in the form: (x+b)^2 and this binomial expands out to become: x^2+2bx+b^2

If we write the second term of the binomial as b/2 we get:

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=x^2+2(\frac{b}{2})x+(\frac{b}{2})^2

which simplifies to:

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=x^2+bx+(\frac{b}{2})^2

and as you can see the last term is (b/2)^2, which is why we need to add that part for it to be a perfect square.

So we would need to add (16/2)^2 = 8^2 = 64

This way, we can express it as a perfect square binomial: (n+8)^2 which expands out to: n^2+2(8)(n)+8^2 = n^2+16n+64

19. When baking a cake, you have a choice of the following pans:
dimaraw [331]

The answer is

round cake - 82.42 in²

rectangular cake - 114 in²

Round cake:

d = 7 in

r = d/2 = 7 in / 2 = 3.5 in

h = 2 in

The surface are of a cylinder is:

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

The surface are of the round cake (which is actually a cylindrical cake) excluding the bottom is:

A = 2πr² + 2πrh - πr²

A = πr² + 2πrh

A = 3.14 * 3.5² + 2 * 3.14 * 3.5 * 2

= 38.46 + 43.96

= 82.42 in²

Rectangular cake:

w = 6 in

l = 9 in

h = 2 in

The surface are of a rectangle is:

A = 2wl + 2wh + 2lh

The surface are of the rectangular cake excluding the bottom is:

A = 2wl + 2wh + 2lh - wl

A = wl + 2wh + 2lh

A = 6 * 9 + 2 * 6 * 2 + 2 * 9 * 2

= 54 + 24 + 36

= 114 in²

Step-by-step explanation: This answer is not mine but JcAlmighty’s so all credits go to them.
