How do you find the missing number of a perfect square trinomial? 25x^2 - 60x + ___

Mathematics

Answer:

  36

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare what you have to the square ...

  (a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

Your "a" is √(25x^2) = 5x

Your "2ab" is -60x. Since you know "a", you can find "b".

  2ab = -60x

  2(5x)b = -60x . . . . . . . substitute for "a"

  b = -60x/(10x) = -6

Then the missing term is b^2 = (-6)^2 = 36.

Your trinomial is ...

  25x^2 -60x +<u>36</u>

X+1<br> -<br> and h(x) = 4 - X, what is the value<br> Oil CD<br> Nior<br> wla<br> olo
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(g\circ h)(-3) means g(h(-3)).

Start with the inside first: h(-3).

h(-3) means use the function called h and replace the x with -3.  The expression that is called h is 4-x.

4-x evaluated at x=-3 gives us 4-(-3)=4+3=7.

So the value for h(-3) is 7, or h(-3)=7.

Now this is what we thus far:

(g\circ h)(-3)=g(h(-3))=g(7).

g(7) means use the function called g and replace x with 7.   The expression that is called g is (x+1)/(x-2).

(x+1)/(x-2) evaluated at x=7 gives us (7+1)/(7-2)=(8)/(5)=8/5.

This is our final answer:

(g\circ h)(-3)=g(h(-3))=g(7)=\frac{8}{5}.
