(37 1/2) /100
37.5/100
anything divided by 100 means you move the decimal point to the left two spaces
answer=0.375
To put an equation into (x+c)^2, we need to see if the trinomial is a perfect square.
General form of a trinomial: ax^2+bx+c
If c is a perfect square, for example (1)^2=1, 2^2=4, that's a good indicator that it's a perfect square trinomial.
Here, it is, because 1 is a perfect square.
To ensure that it's a perfect square trinomial, let's look at b, which in this case is 2.
It has to be double what c is.
2 is the double of 1, therefore this is a perfect square trinomial.
Knowing this, we can easily put it into the form (x+c)^2.
And the answer is: (x+1)^2.
To do it the long way:
x^2+2x+1
Find 2 numbers that add to 2 and multiply to 1.
They are both 1.
x^2+x+x+1
x(x+1)+1(x+1)
Gather like terms
(x+1)(x+1)
or (x+1)^2.
Increase=5%of 4
=5÷100×4=0.2
So 4+0.2=4.2litres
Answer:
The correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided expression.
Where x is time in minutes.
We need to find the appropriate form of the expression that would reveal the time in minutes when the trough is empty.
When the trough is empty the whole expression becomes equal to 0.
Substitute the whole expression equal to 0 and solve for x that will gives us the required expression.
Now consider the provided option.
By comparison the required expression is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Hence, the correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
