8b = 288...with b representing the number of 5 gallon bottles
b = 288/8
b = 36 <=== so there were 36 bottles sold

Answer:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0$

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

They wanted to complete the square so they took the thing in front of x and divided by 2 then squared. Whatever you add in, you must take out.

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0$

Now we are read to write that one part (the first three terms together) as a square:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0$

I don't see this but what happens if we find a common denominator for those 2 terms after the square. (b/2a)^2=b^2/4a^2 so we need to multiply that one fraction by 4a/4a.

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2}=0$

They put it in ( )

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0$

I'm going to go ahead and combine those fractions now:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{-b^2+4ac}{4a^2})=0$

I'm going to factor out a -1 in the second term ( the one in the second ( ) ):

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2-(\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2})=0$

Now I'm going to add (b^2-4ac)/(4a^2) on both sides:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$

I'm going to square root both sides to rid of the square on the x+b/(2a) part:

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}$

$x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Now subtract b/(2a) on both sides:

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Combine the fractions (they have the same denominator):

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Which statement best describes Marcos equation

satela [25.4K]

Marco's equation is correct. Cosine is an even function, which means that for every x, f(-x) = f(x). In other words, you get the same answer for a negative value that you would for its corresponding positive value.
