We have
x² + 24x = 17                          (1)

Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.

Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144         (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17 
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161

Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 12 ft and 16 ft answer
Finger [1]
Use Pythagorus theorem: 

a²+b²=c²
(12)²+(16)²=c²
400=c²
√400=c 
20=c 

Therefore, the hypotenuse would be 20 ft. 

Hope I helped :)

Can someone help me please
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

"I can find the maximum or minimum by looking at the factored expression of a quadratic function by reading off its roots and taking the arithmetic average of them to obtain the x-coordinate of the quadratic function, and then substituting that value into the function."

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the symmetry of quadratics (which is the case here because we have two factors of degree 1, so we are dealing with a <em>polynomial</em> of degree 2, which is a fancy way of saying that something is a quadratic), the x-coordinate of the extremum (a fancy way of saying maximum or minimum) is the (arithmetic) average of the two roots.

In the factored form of a quadratic function, we can immediately read the roots: 3 and 7. Another way to see that is to solve (x-3)(x-7)=0, which gives x-3=0 \vee x-7=0 (the 'V' stands for 'or'). We can take the average of the two roots to get the x-coordinate of the minimum point of the graph (which, in this case, is x=\frac{3+7}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5).

Having the x-coordinate of the extremum, we can substitute this value into the function to obtain the maximum or minimum point of the graph, because that will give the y-coordinate of the extremum.
