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

Find the solution set
Marianna [84]
Hi!

Whatever we do to the inequality, we have to do it to both sides.

Subtract 14 from both sides
14 - 14 - 3x < -1 - 14
-3x < -15
Divide by -3 on both sides
-3x/-3 < -15/-3
x < 5
Because we divided by a negative number, the equality sign flips.
x > 5
^ the answer

Hope this helps! :)

Which function has zeroes at npi/2, where n is an odd integer. Select two of the following that apply.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

y=cosx

y=cotx

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric function;

y=\cos(x) has zeroes at \frac{n\pi}{2} where n is an odd integer.

The trigonometric function; y=cot x=\frac{cosx}{sinx}. This also has zeroes at \frac{n\pi}{2} where n is an odd integer.
