Complete the square for x^2 + 6x + ? to form a perfect square trinomial

1 answer:

8 0

To complete the square, or finding the c constant of this trinomial to make it factor evenly, use this formula to find the c constant (as according to the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c):
(b/2)^2

When you plug in the b value, 6, you should get this:
(6/2)^2

Then, when you simplify, you get a result of 9 which would be the missing constant to fill in your trinomial. When you plug it in, you should get this as your final trinomial:

x^2+6x+9

Answer:

-4 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be x

x²-x=20

Rearrange

x²-x-20=0

(x+4)(x-5)=0

Separate

x+4=0, x-5=0

x=-4 or 5

Answer:

( 1, -6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the graph is ( 1, -6 ) as that is the point where both equations cross. To double check you can also fill in the equations with the points given and they both should solve.

What are the domain and range of fx) = (1/5)^x

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: the domain is all real numbers. The Range is all real numbers greater than zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

this si the same as the graph y=5^-x. Which decreases from left to right and approaches but never touches the x-axis.

I have no idea about this! You need to simplify this:

Simplify what you do not have anything written down or anything to look at.
