\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf x^2+15x+\boxed{?}^2\implies \stackrel{\textit{we know the middle term is}}{2\sqrt{x^2}\cdot \sqrt{\boxed{?}^2}\implies 2x\boxed{?}}\qquad then\qquad 2x\boxed{?}=15x \\\\\\ \boxed{?}=\cfrac{15x}{2x}\implies \boxed{?}=\cfrac{15}{2}\qquad \impliedby \textit{we should add that much \underline{squared}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ x^2+15x+\left( \cfrac{15}{2} \right)^2\implies \left(x+ \cfrac{15}{2} \right)^2

All sacks of sugar have the same weight. All sacks of flour also have the same weight, but not necessarily the same as the weigh
maksim [4K]
Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds

What the answer to x,y, and z
irakobra [83]

You can think of x && y || z as equivalent to: int func (int x, int y, int z) { if (x) { if (y) { return true; } } if (z) { return true; } return false; } Since both x and y are fixed to be non-zero values the first return statement is always hit. thats what i think
