Answer:
"complete the square" to put in vertex form
Step-by-step explanation:
It may be helpful to consider the square of a binomial:
(x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²
The expression x² +x +1 is in the standard form of the expression on the right above. Comparing the coefficients of x, we see ...
2a = 1
a = 1/2
That means we can write ...
(x +1/2)² = x² +x +1/4
But we need x² +x +1, so we need to add 3/4 to the binomial square in order to make the expressions equal:
_____
Another way to consider this is ...
x² +bx +c
= x² +2(b/2)x +(b/2)² +c -(b/2)² . . . . . . rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²*
= (x +b/2)² +(c -(b/2)²)
for b=1, c=1, this becomes ...
x² +x +1 = (x +1/2)² +(1 -(1/2)²)
= (x +1/2)² +3/4
_____
* This process, "rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²," is called "completing the square"—especially when written as (x-h)² +k, a parabola with vertex (h, k).
Answer: The required probability is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of kids = 10
Number of kids in Team A = 5
Number of kids in Team B = 5
There are three kids in the group, Alex and his two best friends Jose and Carl.
So, number of favourable outcome is given by
Total number of outcomes is given by
So, the probability that Alex ends up on the same team with at least one of his two best friends is given by
Hence, the required probability is
Answer: 24 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches that Fred will need to make 60 cups of fruit salad.
According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:
Which can also be written as a fraction:
Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.
Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:
Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:
<h3>
Answer: 49</h3>
Work Shown:
Replace x with 3, replace y with -8. Use order of operations PEMDAS to simplify.
x^2 + y^2 + x*y
3^2 + (-8)^2 + 3*(-8)
9 + 64 - 24
73 - 24
