Find the value of c that completes the square for x2−15x+c

Mathematics
1 answer:
meriva3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The value of <em>c</em> is \frac{225}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect square of the difference between two numbers is:

(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}

The expression provided is:

x^{2}-15x+c

The expression is a perfect square of the difference between two numbers.

One of the number is <em>x</em> and the other is √<em>c</em>.

Use the above relation to compute the value of <em>c</em> as follows:

x^{2}-15x+c=(x-\sqrt{c})^{2}\\\\x^{2}-15x+c=x^{2}-2\cdot x\cdot\sqrt{c}+c\\\\15x=2\cdot x\cdot\sqrt{c}\\\\15=2\cdot\sqrt{c}\\\\\sqrt{c}=\frac{15}{2}\\\\c=[\frac{15}{2}]^{2}\\\\c=\frac{225}{4}

Thus, the value of <em>c</em> is \frac{225}{4}.

What is the value of [-4.6]
solniwko [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

              The value is:

                      -4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are asked to find the value of the ceiling function: \left \lceil -4.6 \right \rceil

As we know that the ceiling function always occupy the higher value in integers.

i.e. the ceiling function act as follows:

it takes value 0 when   -1< x≤0

                       1 when  0 < x ≤ 1

                       2 when  1 < x ≤2

and so on.

As we know that:

            -4.6 lie between -5 and -4.

            Hence, we have:

            \left \lceil -4.6 \right \rceil=-4
