Solve the following quadratic equation by completing the square: x² + 12x = 15

Mathematics

Lerok [7]1 year ago

Answer:

x = -1.14 or -13.14

Explanations:

The given equation is:

x^2+12x\text{  =  15}

Find the half of 12, and add the square to both sides of the equation.

That is add 6² to both sides

x^2+12x\text{ + 6}^{2}\text{  =  15 + 6}^{2}\begin{gathered} (x+6)^2\text{ =  15  +  3}6 \\ (x+6)^2\text{ = 51} \\  \end{gathered}

Find the square root of both sides:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{(x+6)^2_{}}=\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ \text{x  +  6  = }\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ x\text{  =  -6  }\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ \text{x  = }-6\pm7.14 \\ x\text{  = -6+7.14  = }1.14 \\ x\text{ = -6 - 7.14} \\ \text{x = -13.14} \end{gathered}

x = -1.14 or -13.14

3. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (24, 25) and is
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

y=-1/3x + 33

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by writing this in point slope form and converting to slope intercept later. Since the slope of the perpendicular line is y=3x-30, this line must have a slope of -1/3. It's point slope form is therefore:

y-25=-1/3(x-24)

Now, you can convert to slope intercept by isolating y:

y=-1/3(x-24)+25

y=-1/3x+8+25

y=-1/3x+33

Hope this helps!

Suppose that y varies inversely with x. Use the information to find k, and then choose the equation of variation. x = 1.2 when y
baherus [9]
Y = k/x where k is the constant of variation
y = 3 , x = 1.2 gives
3 = k/1.2
therefore 
k = 3*1.2 = 3.6
and the  required equation is 

y = 3.6 / x

Can you help me answer this
Ipatiy [6.2K]
2149 seats.  Since 2149 rounds down to 2100 at the nearest hundred, this is the greatest amount of seats possible in the stadium.  If there were 2150 seats, it would round to 2200 seats, so 2149 seats is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

ben earns $9 per hour and $6 for each delivery he makes. he wants to earn more than $155 in an 8-hour workday. what is the least
Ymorist [56]
First find out how much he makes in 8 hours (9x8=72). Then subtract 72 from 155 (155-72=83). Then divide 83 by 6 (83/6=13.8333). Since 83 is not evenly divisible by 6, and since he can't deliver .8333 of a delivery, we would round up, giving us 14). Ben would need to make 14 deliveries in 8 hours to make more than $155 :) Hope this helps you :)
