The correct steps are:

start with

x^2+8x+15=0

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2+8x+16=1

The left hand side is a perfect square:

(x+4)^2=1

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is x² + 8x + 15 = 0

We have to solve it further to transform into the form ( x - p )² = q

x² + 8x + 15 = 0

[ x² + 8x + 15 ] + 1 = 0 + 1

x² + 8x + 16 = 1

( x + 4 )² = 1

Option D is the answer.

If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you'll get only $1 change from your $10 bill. but if you buy four pens and two me
xxTIMURxx [149]

Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.

Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:

\begin{cases} 6p+m=9\\4p+2m=8\end{cases}

Now, if you multiply the first equation by 2, the system becomes

\begin{cases} 12p+2m=18\\4p+2m=8\end{cases}

Subtract the second equation from the first:

12p+2m - (4p+2m) = 18-8 \iff 8p = 10 \iff p = \dfrac{10}{8} = 1.25

Plug this value into the first equation to get

6p+m=9 \iff 6\cdot 1.25 +m = 9 \iff 7.5 +m=9 \iff m = 9-7.5 = 1.5

The position of the following moving along a straight line at any time t is given by s(t) = t^2 +4t+4/ What is the acceleration
Naddik [55]

Answer:

\boxed{s(t) = 36 {ms}^{ - 2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = t^2 +4t+4 \\ when \: t =4 \\ s(t) =  {4}^{2}  + (4)(4) + 4 \\ s(t) =  {4}^{2}  +  {4}^{2}  + 4 \\ s(t) = 32 + 4 \\ s(t) = 36
