Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² − 12x + 7

To complete the square, we first factor the leading coefficient to make it 1 (which it already is).

Then, we take half the second coefficient, square it, and then add to both sides.  So (-12/2)² = (-6)² = 36.

f(x) + 36 = x² − 12x + 36  + 7

Then we factor the perfect square:

f(x) + 36 = (x − 6)² + 7

Then solve for f(x) by subtracting and simplifying:

f(x) = (x − 6)² + 7 − 36

f(x) = (x − 6)² − 29

So the value of a is 6.

Dad’s truck is 15 feet long. The trailer it tows is 40% longer the truck. How long the trailer?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

21 Feet Long

Step-by-step explanation:

You just reverse how you find a percentage.

1) 40 / 100 = .40

2) .40 * 15 = 6

3) 6 + 15 = 21

I did it this way because I need to find what 40% is to 15. But the trailer isn't 40% of the truck, it's 40% longer than the truck. So, we must add those 2 numbers together getting 21 Ft.

To buy a car, Danny borrowed $16000 for 3 years at an annual simple interest rate of 9%. if it takes him 3 full years to pay off
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$4,320

Step-by-step explanation:

I equals PRT. I is the interest. P is the principal, amount borrowed. R is the rate, percent. T is the amount of time in years. Principal in this is 16,000. Rate is 9%, or 0.09. Time is 3 years. So 16,000 times 0.09 times 3 equals 4,320. That is the interest.
