For which equation does it make the most sense to solve by completing the square?

1 answer:

7 0

Completing the square is a method used to solve a quadratic equation by changing the shape of the equation so that the left side is a perfect square trinomial.
The following equation makes more sense to solve it complete squares:
x² + 20x = 52
We have then:
x² + 20x + (10) ^ 2 = 52 + 100
(x + 10) ² = 152
Answer:
The most sense to solve by completing the square is for:
B) x² + 20x = 52

a group of astronauts launched a model rocket from a platform. Its flight path is modeled by h= -4t^2+24t+13 where h is the heig

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

6.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that when $h=0$ , this is the same height for both when the model rocket takes off and lands, so when the rocket lands, time is positive. Thus:

$h=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\0=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4(-4)(13)}}{2(-4)}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{784}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm28}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24-28}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{-52}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{52}{8}\\\\t=6.5$

So, the amount of seconds that the model rocket stayed above the ground since it left the platform is 6.5 seconds

H=-5 and w=2, work out the value of 4h-3w

olganol [36]

You would simply have to plug in, or substitute, the given values in the equations.

So, H=-5, W=2 and the problem is 4h-3w

To plug them in, your new equation would be 4(-5)-3(2) and simplify. So it becomes -20-6 which = -26.

And -26 would be your answer.
