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)

Is 3 squared • 4 squares = 12? Evaluate each side of the equation
Paladinen [302]
No because 4 square equals 2 square and since 3 isn't a perfect number, it would be 2 square times 3 square, which equals 6 square.

Find y when x=14 if y varies inversely as x and y=5 when x=8
DanielleElmas [232]
Y = k/x
5 = k/8
k = 5 x 8 = 40
Therefore,
y = 40/14 = 2.86

What is the difference between a confounding and a lurking variable?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

A lurking variable is a variable that has an important effect on the relationship among the variables in the study, but is not one of the explanatory variables studied. Two variables are confounded when their effects on a response variable cannot be distinguished from each other.

Find the lateral surface area of the figure.
Brut [27]

Surface area of the cylinder = 816.4 sq. ft.

Solution:

Height of the cylinder = 21 ft

Diameter of the cylinder = 10 ft

Radius of the cylinder = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 ft

Use the value of \pi = 3.14

Surface area of the cylinder = 2 \pi r h+2 \pi r^{2}

Substitute the given values in the surface area formula, we get

Surface area of the cylinder $=2\times3.14\times 5\times 21+2 \times3.14\times 5^2

                                               =659.4+157

                                               =816.4 ft²

Hence the surface area of the cylinder is 816.4 sq. ft.
