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

2) Tara is trying to find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 5,8,11, and 14…. Which expression can Tara use to find the nth
juin [17]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term an = a1 + d(n - 1)   where a1 = term 1 and d = common difference.

Here a1 = 5 and d = 8-5 = 3.

So an = 5 + 3(n - 1)

15th term a15

=  5 + 3(15 - 1)

= 5 + 42

= 47.

Determine the value of x
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The value of x is 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape in question is a composite shape. We can see that x is both the base of the triangle and the breadth of the rectangle.

To get the area of the shape, we will have to add the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle.

Area of rectangle = length X breadth

Area of triangle = 1/2 base X height.

However, to calculate the area of the triangle, we need to find its height first.

The next step is to get the height of the triangle. Observing the shape properly, we can see that we can get the height by subtracting the length of the rectangle from the overall length of the shape.

Height of triangle = 16 ft - 10 ft = 6 ft

recall area = 156 square feet.

We now have most of our missing dimensions

We can now set up an equation as follows:

(10 \times x) +0.5 \times x \times 6 = 156

10x +3x=156\\13x=156\\x=12 feet

Therefore the value of x is 12 feet

Identify which of the twelve basic functions listed below fit the description given. 1 ,y1+e y=x,y=xy=*',y = lxl.y = y=e"y= V,y
skelet666 [1.2K]

remember that local minimuns are points in which the function was decreasing and starts increasing.

you can try two ways of doing it, graphing the functions or using derivatives.

since this are twelve functios the easier way is to graph them.

start by function y=x

in this case this function is continously increasing as x increases, which means that it does not have any local maxima or minima.

now do the same for

y=x^2

this graph has a local minima on th
