Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square in the quadratic from ax² + bx + c
You know an equation is perfect when:
2√(ax²)√(c) = bx
Substitute x² for ax² and 8x for bx. Then isolate c by doing the reverse operations.
2√(ax²)√(c) = bx
2√(x²)√(c) = 8x
2x√c = 8x Divide both sides by 2x
√c = 4 Square both sides to isolate c.
c = 16
The missing constant term is 16.
Check answer:
x² - 8x + 16
(x - 4)²
= (x - 4)(x - 4)
= x² - 4x - 4x + 16
= x² - 8x + 16

Answer:
$2000
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of interest is given by the formula ...
I = Prt
where P is the principal invested, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years. Here, we want to find P when I = 50, r = 0.05, and t = 1/2.
50 = P(0.05)(1/2)
P = 50/(0.05·1/2) = 2000

Answer:
Because All organisms, including humans, need energy to fuel the metabolic reactions of growth, development, and reproduction. But plants can't use light energy directly for their metabolic needs. And half of there energy is light energy so it must first be converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
