Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.

Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.

Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5

Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.

Rewrite the equation by completing the square 4x^2-4x+1=0
oee [108]

Answer:

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

To complete the square the coefficient of the x² term must be 1

Factor out 4 from 4x² - 4x

= 4(x² - x) + 1 = 0

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x

4(x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} ) + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² - 1 + 1 = 0

4(x - \frac{1}{2} )² = 0
