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:

The required co-ordinate is (-2, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given point, reflection of a point (x, y) across a horizontal line y = k, the reflected co-ordinates will be: $ R_{y = k} = (x, 2k - y) $.

Here, (x, y) = (-2, 7) then reflection along the line y = 1, we get:

$ R_{y = 1} (-2, 7) = (-2, 2(1) - 7) $

= (-2, -5)

The reflected point is (-2, -5).

Answer:

C=25^{\circ},\\a\approx 10.72,\\b\approx 11.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, angle C must be 180-90-65=25^{\circ}.

In any triangle, the Law of Sines is given by \frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}.

Therefore, we have:

\frac{\sin 90^{\circ}}{b}=\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}}{5},\\\\b=\frac{5\sin90^{\circ}}{\sin 25^{\circ}}=11.8310079158\approx \boxed{11.83}

\frac{a}{\sin 65^{\circ}}=\frac{5}{\sin25^{\circ}},\\a=\frac{5\sin 65^{\circ}}{\sin25^{\circ}}=10.7225346025\approx \boxed{10.72}
