Find the sum of the constants a, h, and k such that

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of "a" is the coefficient of x^2, so we know that is 2.

__

<u>Solve for h</u>

Now, we have ...

  2x^2 -8x +7 = 2(x -h)^2 +k

Expanding the right side gives us ...

  = 2(x^2 -2hx +h^2) +k

  = 2x^2 -4hx +2h^2 +k

Comparing x-terms, we see ...

  -4hx = -8x

  h = (-8x)/(-4x) = 2

__

<u>Solve for k</u>

Now, we're left with ...

  2h^2 +k = 7 = 2(2^2) +k = 8 +k

Subtracting 8 we find k to be ...

  k = 7 -8 = -1

__

And the sum of constants a, h, and k is ...

  a +h +k = 2 +2 -1 = 3

The sum of the constants is 3.

a^2+b^2=c^2 (pythagorean theorem where c is hypotenuse)

12^2+16^2=c^2

144+256=c^2

400=c^2

square root of 400=20
