Perfect square trinomial is like

(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16
they are represented as such
ax^2+bx+c
so to solve for b you do
(√c) times 2=b so

c=9/4
square root=3/2 because 3/2 times 3/2=9/4
(√(9/4)) times 2=(3/2) times 2=6/2=3
so b=3

x^2+3x+(9/4)
if factored, it gives
(x+(3/2))(x+(3/2))  or
(x-(3/2))(x-(3/2))


if this equation is equal to 0 then x=-3/2 or 3/2

the value is 3

Answer:

$29.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The price that Rob paid includes a 15% discount.  This means that Rob paid 85% of the original price.

100% - 15% = 85%

Divide the price Rob paid by the percentage the price is of the total.

85% = 0.85

50.15/0.85 = 59

Now, divide the total price by 2 so that you can find the price of one pair of jeans.

59/2 = 29.50

The price of one pair of jeans is $29.50

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is of the form

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality

To find k use the slope formula

k = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 16) ← 2 points on the line

k = \frac{16-0}{2-0} = \frac{16}{2} = 8
