Explanation:

Conversion of a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form is done by completing the square method.

Assume the quadratic equation to be \mathbf{ax^{2}+bx+c=0} where x is the variable.

Completing the square method is as follows:

  1. send the constant term to other side of equal                 \mathbf{ax^{2}+bx=-c}
  2. divide the whole equation be coefficient of \mathbf{x^{2}}, this will give     \mathbf{x^{2}+\frac{b}{a}x=- \frac{c}{a}}
  3. add \mathbf{(\frac{b}{2a})^{2}} to both side of equality                                   \mathbf{x^{2}+2\times\frac{b}{2a}x+\frac{b}{2a}^{2}=-\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{2a}^{2}}
  4. Make one fraction on the right side and compress the expression on the left side                                                                          \mathbf{(x+\frac{b}{2a})^{2}=\frac{b^{2}-4ac}{4a^{2}}}
  5. rearrange the terms will give the vertex form of standard quadratic equation                                                                 \mathbf{a(x+\frac{b}{2a})^{2}-\frac{b^{2}-4ac}{4a}=0}

Follow the above procedure will give the vertex form.

(NOTE : you must know that \mathbf{(x+a)^{2}=x^{2}+2ax+a^{2}}. Use this equation in transforming the equation from step 3 to step 4)

I need my smart homies to answer this question for me !
ella [17]

Answer:

Part A: chosen method is by factoring

Part B: First rewrite the equation by writing -24 as a difference so you get     x² -9x - 15x + 135 = 0. Then factor out the x and the -15 from the equation so you get x(x-9) - 15(x-9) = 0. Then factor out x-9 from the equation so you have (x-9)(x-15) = 0. Finally, set each expression to 0: x-9=0 and x-15=0 and then solve: x=9 and x=15

Part C: x=9, x=15

Sally went school shopping she had a budget of 10.00 she bought a pen for 1.75 and a paper for 1.33 her change was 6.08 how much
irakobra [83]

Answer:

$0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find total cost of both the pen and paper

  • $1.75 + $1.33 = $3.08

2. find the amount Sally spent

  • $10 - $6.08 = $3.92

3. find cost of ruler

  • $3.92 - $3.08 = $0.84
