What value of $k$ will make $4x^2 - 20x + k$ the square of a binomial?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

k = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x  - sqrt(k) )^2              Expand this as a binomial                          

4x^2 - 4x*sqrt(k) + k      The middle term must be -20x Solve for k so it is

-4xsqrt(k) = - 20x            Divide by -4x

sqrt(k) = -20x/-4x             Do the division

sqrt(k) = 5                         Square both sides

k = 25

Which value of x would make ?<br><br> 1<br> 6<br> 8<br> 10
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

x=8\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If NO is parallel to KJ

then

Triangles LNO and LKJ are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

so

\frac{LO}{LJ}=\frac{LN}{LK}

substitute the values

\frac{x-4}{x-4+x}=\frac{x-3}{x-3+x+2}

\frac{x-4}{2x-4}=\frac{x-3}{2x-1}\\ \\(x-4)(2x-1)=(x-3)(2x-4)\\ \\2x^{2}-x-8x+4=2x^{2}-4x-6x+12\\ \\-9x+4=-10x+12\\ \\10x-9x=12-4\\ \\x=8\ in

Which of the following examples best represents the use of an interval scale? measuring the number of cookie boxes sold by scout
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

students' ratings of their professors' performance on a five-point scale ranging from poor to excellent

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four type of scales in mathematics. They include:

1. Nominal scale : they do not measure quantity. they are used to classify a population into two or more scales that are exhaustive and mutually exclusive. e.g. classifying a population based on gender, naming the different car brands seen in a school's parking lot

2. Ordinal scale : this scale measures ranks a population from best to worst or from least to most. e.g. ranking the participants of a race based on their performance

3. Interval scale : this scale has the property of order and equal intervals. Zero is not meaningful.

Interval scale is used when the difference between the numbers are meaningful. e.g. students' ratings of their professors' performance on a five-point scale ranging from poor to excellent Here a child who is scored 1, did very poorly and a child scored 5, performed excellently well.

4. Ratio scale :  this scale has the property of order, a meaningful zero and equal intervals.
