Answer:
2(x + 2)² - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 8x + 3
To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.
The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, thus factor 2 out of 2x² + 8x
= 2(x² + 4x) + 3
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 4x
= 2(x² + 2(2)x + 4 - 4) + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 8 + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 5
with p = 2 and q = - 5
Answer:
416 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the surface area, you must find the area of each square. There are a total of 6 that make up the prism.
<em>Remember to find the area it is length x width</em>
- 9 x 8 = 72 which is the area for 4 of the squares. 2 on the side and 2 on the bottom
- Lastly for the last 2 squares to find the area you multiply 8 x 8 = 64
- In total, you will add 72+72+72+72+64+64 which equals 416
