Answer:
p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)
q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)
Expand:
y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)
Distribute a to the first two terms:
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂
Complete the square:
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²
y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
Therefore:
p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)
q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
0.0625
1/4 of a mile is 0.25
0.25 divided by 4 = 0.0625 each
I think it’s QT EJ and HA
Answer:9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The factored expression is: 3(5n-6)
The GCF between 15 and 18 is 3. So you would divide both numbers by 3. That would leave you with 5 taking the place of 15 and 6 taking the place of 18. Then you would fill in the blanks. Three multiplied by the expression 5n-6 would give you your original expression of 15n-18.
