So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19

I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..

So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.

4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0

for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)

Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.

Dori and Malory are tracking their steps taken as a health goal. Dori leaves her house at 12:00 p.m. and walks at 50 steps per m
docker41 [41]

Hi There!


Dori leaves her house at 12pm.

50 steps per minute until 12:20pm.

Dori has a 20 minute advantage over Malory, find the amount of steps she is ahead by,

12 - 12:20pm. steps = 20 minutes = 20 x 50 = 1000 steps


Malory leaves her house at 12:20pm.

Walks 90 steps per minute.

12:20 -  12:30 pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900


Dori 12:20 - 12:30pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 50 = 500

500 + 1000 = 1500


Mallory 12:30 - 12:40 = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

900 + 900 = 1800


Dori 12:30 - 12:45pm. = 15 minutes = 15 x 50 = 500

1750 + 500 = 2250


Mallory 12:40 - 12:45pm. = 5 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

450 + 1800 = 2250


Answer: they have the same number steps at 12:45 p.m.


Hope This Helps :)
