To do this problem, you need to use a process called completing the square. Let me explain:  

To complete the square on the function f(x) = x² + 8x +13, first group the first two terms in (  )  and leave some space at the end as follows:
f(x) = (x² + 8x          ) + 13  Now our next step is to fill in the space and adjust our expression on the right hand side of the function.  To do this, we take half of the middle number 8 and then square it:  so 4² = 16 and we fill in our space inside the ( ) with this value 16;   
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13  now what we have done is to increase the overall value of our expression on the right by 16, but we want the overall value to remain the same.  To fix this we simply need to subtract 16 at the end like this:  f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 -16   we can simplify and get the following.
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) - 3   At this point we're almost done.. All we need to do now is to rewrite the what is in the parentheses in a slightly different form.  Here is what it will look like:  f(x) = (x + 4)² - 3  notice all I did was take the sum of the square root of x² and the square root of 16 originally in the (  ) to get then new expression inside the ( ) and then square that  ( )²

Now this is a nice form to have because you can get the vertex straight from this form.. IN FACT this is called vertex form or (h,k) form for short.  In general the form is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k  don't worry about the 'a'  for now.. you might see that in our case it is just 1 and will not effect our equation.  You only have to consider this if the original leading coefficient of the quadratic is not 1 to begin with...

So you can see that our vertex is (-4,-3)  
Hope this is helpful, but if you have questions let me know.

Rearrange a (q-c)=d to make q the subject
Andrej [43]
To rearrange you must first simplify
aq-ac=d  
add ac to each side:
aq=d+ac
then divide by a:
q=(d/a)+c and this is your answer

joanne cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is ​$660. The first is marked down by ​40%.
Alexxx [7]

Answer: The first machine would cost $420

and the second machine would cost $432

you should buy the first machine

Step-by-step explanation:If you get a 30% discount, then you are paying 70% of the selling price.

Machine 1:  600(.70) = 420

Machine 2:  A 10% discount means you pay 90%

600(.90) = 540   But now you get a 20% discount on that amount, which means you would pay 80%

So, 540(.80) = 432

The mean length of 10 childrens' index finger is 12.6cm.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Get total lengths by multiplying:

10 x 12.6 = 126

6 x 16.1 = 96.6

Add the total lengths together and divide by 16:

126 + 96.6 = 222.6


222.6 / 16 = 13.9125

Rounded to 2 decimal places = 13.91


answer: 13.91
