Answer:
- 5(x +1.5)^2
- 10(x +1)^2
- 1/4(x +2)^2
- 3(x +5/6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...
a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2
This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.
a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2
b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2
c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2
d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.

Answer:
c = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(c + 8) = 28
Since we have paranthesis, first use the dsitributive property [multiply 3 by c and 8]
3(c + 8) = 28
3c + 24 = 28
To find the value of c, you must have c alone on one side, so subtract 24 from both sides
3c + 24 = 28
3c = 4
Now, divide by 3 to both sides to get your answer
3c = 4
c = 4/3
Therefore, the answer is 4/3!
I hope this helps! :)
Answer:
(2,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply plug in the coordinates. y= 3x - 6, so in this case 0= 3(2) - 6 or 0=0, making the point on the line. If the equation is not true like when using (0,3) and getting 3= -6, then the point is not on the line.
