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

1 answer:

Georgia [21]3 years ago

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

Scott burned 20 calories per minute jogging for x minutes and 5 calories per minute for biking for y minutes. He spent a total o

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112

What is the midpoint and distance between points P(3,5) and Q(7,5)

storchak [24]

The formula of a midpoint:

$M\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2};\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the points P(3, 5) and Q(7, 5). Substitute:

$x=\dfrac{3+7}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\\\\y=\dfrac{5+5}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5$

<h3>M(5, 5)</h3>

$d=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(7-3)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+4^2}=\sqrt{4^2}=4$

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Midpoint = (5, 5)</h3><h3>Distance = 4</h3>
