So to complete the square in
ax^2+bx+c=d form

make sure a=1
subtract c from both sides
take 1/2 of b and square it
add that to both sides
factor perfect square

1x^2-1x-2=0
a=1
move c to other side
add 2 to oth sides
x^2-1x=2
take 1/2 of b and square it
1/2 of -1=-1/2
squaer it
1/4
add that to both sides
x^2-1x+1/4=2+1/4
factor left side
(x-1/2)=2+1/4

first blank is 1/2

2+1/4=8/4+1/4=9/4

blanks are
1/2 and 9/4

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is shown below:

a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}

Where a is the hypotenuse, and b and c are the legs of the triangle.

2. When you solve for one of the legs and substitute values, you obtain that the result is:

b=\sqrt{a^{2}-c^{2}}\\b=\sqrt{(24.8ft)^{2}-(8ft)^{2}}\\b=23.5ft

​(6x2−2x+16​)+​(4x2+7x−55​)
AysviL [449]
(6 • 2 - 2x + 16) + (4 • 2 + 7x - 55)
(-2x + 16 + 6 • 2) + (7x - 55 + 4 • 2)
(-2x + 16 + 12) + (7x - 55 + 8)
-2x + 28 + 7x - 47
-2x + 7x + 28 - 47
5x + (-19)
5x - 19
So the answer is 5x - 19.

<h3>What is a word problem in mathematics?</h3>

A word problem is a real-life problem and it can be approached with the use of a mathematical model, interpretation into variables, and arithmetic operations usage.

Given that:

  • A company buys three mailing lists with 2500, 3500, and 4000 addresses respectively.

The number of potential customers that the company has reached is:

= 2500  3500 + 4000 e--mail addresses.

= 10,000  e--mail addresses.
