Let f (x) be a quadratic equation of the form:

x^2+bx+c\\

Where b and c are real numbers.

So a generic procedure for completing squares is:

1) identify b

In this case b = 10

2) divide b between 2 and then square it

(\frac{b}{2})^ 2\\

(\frac{10}{2})^ 2=25\\

3) Add and subtract b ^ 2 in the equation

x ^2+10x + 25 - 25 = 50\\

x ^ 2 + 10x +25 = 75\\

4) Rewrite the equation as follows

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=c\\

(x + 5) ^ 2 = 75\\

The number that you must add to both sides of the equation is number 25 = (\frac{b}{2})^2

Answer:

6.6 cm and 14.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

the length of arc AB is calculated as

AB = circumference of circle × fraction of circle

     = 2πr × \frac{95}{360}

     = 2π × 4 × \frac{95}{360}

     = 8π × \frac{95}{360}

     = \frac{8\pi (95)}{360}

     ≈ 6.6 cm ( to the nearest tenth )

(b)

the perimeter (P) of sector AOB is

P = r + r + AB = 4 + 4 + 6.6 = 14.6 cm
