puteri [66]

Answer:constant of variation(k) is, 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse variation says that:

then, the equation is in the form of :

       ....[1] where, k is the constant of variation

As per the statement:

Suppose that y varies inversely with x.

then,

by definition of inverse variation we have;

When x = 2.5 and y = 100 then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

Multiply 2.5 both sides we have;

or

k = 250

⇒

Therefore, the constant of variation is, 250 and the equation we get

Complete the square y=x^2+6x+8
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y = (x+3)² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square take the middle term b and divide by 2. Then square the value.

Here b = 6.

So 6/2 = 3

3² = 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation.

x² + 6x + 8 = 0

x² + 6x + 9 + 8 = 9

(x+3)² - 1 = y

Plug in x = 12 and y = -5 into the given equation:-

3(12) - 3(-5) = 36 + 15 = 51  Not 21

So (12,-5) is not a solution.
