Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0
To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;
Step 1:
Bringing c to the other side
ax²+bx = -c
Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:
x²+(b/a)x = -c/a
- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:
x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²
(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²
- Taking the square root of both sides
√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²
x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²
x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a
- Taking b/2a to the other side
x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a
Taking the LCM:
x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a
This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.

Answer:
slope = k/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is useful for finding slope.
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (5k -7k)/(-3 -1)
m = -2k/-4
m = k/2
The slope is k/2.
Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
