The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64
I believe the sum of the root is: -3/2
And the product of the root is: 0
I hope this helps and have a great week :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:

Combine like terms:

Add:

Add 16 to both sides:

Divide both sides by 8:

So, our answer is 24.5 :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Well we can start by seeing if the parabola is the same width by comparing it to its parent function ( y = x^2 )
In y = x^2 the 2nd lowest point is just up 1 and right 1 away from the vertex.
This is not true for our parabola.
So we can widen it by to the desidered width by making the x^2 into a .5x^2.
So far we’ve got y = .5x^2
Now the parabola y intercept is at -5.
So we can add a -5 into the equation making it.
y = .5x^2 - 5
Now for the x value.
So we can find the x value by seeing how far away the parabola is from from the y axis.
So the x value is -2x.
So the full equation is 
Look at the image below to compare.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of SETS.
Start by listing out important data:
1. Total that said F = 55
2. Total that said P = 51
3. Total that said O = 61
4. F only = 9
5. F ∩ P ∩ O = 26 [NOTE: If you were to draw a Venn Diagram, 26 would be in the innermost circle because it comprises all three categories]
6. F ∩ P = 31
7. P only = 8
8. Students that said none of the 3 reasons = 4
QUESTIONS
1. How many said O and P? In other words, find the intersect of O and P. Find O ∩ P
2. How many said either F or O? [Answer to be gotten using a venn diagram] Find F ∪ P which translates to "F union P"
3. How many said F without saying P? [Answer to be gotten from the venn diagram as well]
4. How many students in total were surveyed? [HINT: Remember to include the 4 students that had none of the three options]
