For this case we have the following expression:

x ^ 2-8x = 3

We must complete squares.

So:

We divide the middle term between two and we square it:

(\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2, then:

x ^ 2-8x + (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2 = 3 + (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ 2\\x ^ 2-8x + (- 4) ^ 2 = 3 + 16

We have to, by definition:

(a-b) ^ 2 = a ^ 2-2ab + b ^ 2

Then, rewriting:

((x-4) ^ 2 = 19

To find the roots, we apply square root on both sides:

x-4 = \sqrt {19}

We have two solutions:

x_ {1} = \sqrt {19} +4\\x_ {2} = - \sqrt {19} +4

Answer:

((x-4) ^ 2 = 19\\x_ {1} = \sqrt {19} +4\\x_ {2} = - \sqrt {19} +4

Answer:

{-0.36, 8.36) to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 3

(x - 4)^2 - 16 = 3

(x - 4)^2 = 19

Taking square roots:

x - 4 = +/- √19

x =  4 +/- √19

x = {-0.36, 8.36} to nearest 1/100.

You plug in the values so it would be 24=15k. Divide by 15 on both sides so k=24/15=1.6. :)

When creating vases for the craft fair, Thomas used the proportion 3 pounds of clay is to 8 vases as 9 pounds of clay is to 24 v
spayn [35]
<span>The proportion of clay uses is 3/8 (Three Eighths). That is 3 lbs. of clay to every 8 vases. This is determined by the first given proportion 3 lbs./8 vases and confirmed by the second. To prove that is the case you divide the second ration by the first numerator: 9 divided by 3 = 3 and 24 divided by 3 = 8. So the proportion for 9/24 is still 3/8. This can also be used to increase the number of vases made. For example if 40 vases need to be made: we divide 40 by the numerator 8 = 5. So we need 5 portions of 3 to make 40 vases. 5 times 3 = 15. So the 15 lbs. of clay is needed for 40 vases.</span>
