Question: What value of c will complete the square below ( $x^{2} +30x+c$ ) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?

Answer: c = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that a = x, and b² = c, but we need to find the numerical value of $c$ .

To do this, note that the middle term, or 2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x. We know that a = x, and thus, 2ab = 2bx. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, 2bx = 30x.

Dividing by $2x$ on both sides gives us b = 15. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)

Answer: For the equation simply substitute 30 in for v and 4 in for s in the equation given, so H=-16t^2+30t+4

Part 2.

If the juggler misses the ball, you wish to know the time that it takes for the ball to travel the four feet from his hand to the ground, so respectively,

4=-16t^2+30t+4 or 0=-16t^2+30t or 0 = -16t+30,

solving for t, t =30/16 seconds or 1.875 seconds

Suppose a triangle has 3 sides, 3, 4, 6 which of the following must be true

Inessa [10]

Answer:

B. the triangle in question is not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-4-5 triangle is a right triangle, so this one, with its longer longest side, is an obtuse triangle. It is not a right triangle.

___

3, 4, 5 is one of the first Pythagorean triples that you learn:

3² + 4² = 5²

These are the side lengths of the smallest right triangle with integer sides. It is worthwhile to remember. This triple is used not only in many math problems (such as this one), but also in real life when it is useful to lay out a right angle.
