What number must you add to complete the square x^2+4x=15

Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.

(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²

Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2

Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²

find the measure of the arc or angle indicated. assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of alternate segment theorem,

"Angle formed between the tangent and the chord in a circle measures the half of the measure of the intercepted arc"

m(∠EFG) = \frac{1}{2} × m(minor arc FG)

minor arc FG = 2m(∠EFG)

                      = 2(76°)

                      = 152°

Therefore, Option (1) will be the correct option.

I need serious answers ppl keep putting those links
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Roman

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to solve this is looking at whether the line has a positive or negative slope. We read graphs from left to right so <u>if the line is increasing from left to right, it has a positive slope while a line decreasing from left to right has a negative slope</u>. Since the line shown is decreasing from left to right, it will have a negative slope and Roman is the only one out of the two that shows a negative slope. To check to see if he's correct, we can check the y-intercept. The y-intercept of the line is 8 and Roman also has 8 written in the expression. Hence, meaning Roman is correct.

Best of Luck!
