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.

The force F between 2 objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d between them. The force is 0.36 newtons
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

0.73 N to 2 dp.

Step-by-step explanation:

F = k/d^2   where k is a constant , F = force and d = distance.

Substituting:

0.36 = k / (6)^2

k = 36*0.36 = 12.96 s the equation is F = 12.96 / d^2.

When d = 4.2 :

F = 12.96 / 4.2^2

F = 0.73 Newtons to 2 dp.

What is the perimeter of the figure? <br> 229 4/9 ft<br> 229 2/3 ft<br> 230 2/3 ft <br> 231 ft
mote1985 [20]

The answer would be 230 2/3, because to get the perimeter you have to add all the sides together, 60 5/6 + 59 1/3 + 56 1/6 + 54 1/3 = 230 2/3

1. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

let x be a number of inches, which when added to 18 inches will give 7 feet

18 inches + x inches = 7 feet

18 inches + x  inches = 84 inches                      <em> [1 feet = 12 inches]</em>

x inches = 84 inches - 18 inches

x inches = 66 inches

2. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards, when added to 2000 yards will be equal to 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x yards = 1520 yards

3. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

Number of feet = Given number of inches / 12

Number of feet = 108 / 12

Number of feet = 9 ft.

4. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 8800 feet. will be equal to 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 42240 feet             <em>[1 mile = 5280 feet]</em>

x feet = 42240 - 8800

x feet = 33440 ft.

5. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches, when added to 37 inches, will be equal to 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 60 inches        <em> [12 inches = 1 feet]</em>

x inches = 23 inches

6. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, (number of yards)*3 = (number of feet)

Number of yards = number of feet / 3

Number of yards = 73 / 3 = 24.33 yards

7. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

let x be the number of feet added to 15 feet to make 9 yards

15 feet + x feet  = 9 yards

15 feet + x feet = 27 feet       <em>[1 yard = 3 feet]</em>

x feet = 12 ft

8. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards remaining to reach 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 7040

x yards = 4040 yards

9. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, number of yards * 3  = number of feet

replacing the values:

number of yards*3 = 114

number of yards = 114/3

number of yards = 38 yards

10. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet that must be added to 9000 feet to make 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 15840 feet

x ft = 6840 ft

11. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches that must be added to 46 inches to get a length of 9 feet

46 inches + x inches = 9 feet

46 inches  + x inches = 108 inches

x inches = 108 - 46 inches

x inches = 62 inches

12. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards that must be added to 3500 yards to make 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x = 20 yards

13. We know that 1 ft = 12 inches

So, number of feet * 12 = number of inches

number of feet = number of inches / 12

<em>number of feet in 252 inches</em>

Number of feet = 252/12

Number of feet = 21 ft

14. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 6500 feet, will be equal to 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 10560 ft

x ft = 4060 ft

15. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 4500 feet, will be equal to 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 5280 ft

x ft = 780 ft
