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

I need help with this as soon as possible!​
Kay [80]

Answer:

1. -3/6 is negative, because it descends by 3 and goes over by 6.

2. My first answer literally gives the keyword negative, therefore it's a negative line because it has a <em>negative slope</em>.

1. -8/0 is undefined, because there is a rise but there is no run, which also means that it's a:

2. vertical line

1. -5/-10 simplifies to 5/10 or 1/2, which is positive because it rises by 5(or 1) and runs over by 10(or 2).

2. Thus, this means that it's a positive line since it has a <em>positive slope</em>.

1. 0/-2 is zero, because when you actually solve the equation it'll equal 0.

2. This means that it'll have a horizontal line since there is no rise but there is a run only.

A train from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California, travels at an average speed of 60 miles per hour and covers a distanc
seropon [69]

Answer:

The train need to leave Portland at 03:27 am

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out how long it takes the train to travel from Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

The time is equal to divide the distance by the speed

Let

s ---> the speed in miles per hour

d ---> the distance in miles

t ---> the time in hours

t=\frac{d}{s}

we have

d=963\ mi

s=60\ mi/h

substitute

t=\frac{963}{60}=16.05\ hours

step 2

Adds 30 minutes (time it takes to get from the train station to her aunt's house)

Remember that

30\ minutes=0.50\ hours

16.05+0.50=16.55\ hours

Convert to minutes

16.55\ h=16.55(60)\ min=993\ min

step 3

Remember that

8 p.m=20:00\ hrs

Convert to minutes

20(60)=1,200\ min

Subtract 993 minutes from 1,200 minutes

1,200-993=207\ min

Convert to hours+minutes

207\ min=207/60=3.45\ hours

0.45\ h=0.45(60)=27\ min

so

3\ h+27\ min

00:00 + 03:27=03:27\ am

therefore

The train need to leave Portland at 03:27 am
