Step-by-step explanation:

our equation is x²+16x = -44

  • x²+16x= -44
  • x² is the first term so weill have in the middle 2*x* a number
  • x²+2*x*8 = -44
  • the third term is 8² wich is 64 so we will add it in both sides
  • x²+2*x*8+64 = -44+64
  • (x+8)² = 20

Now that we have completed the perfect square let's solve the equation

  • (x+8)² = 20
  • x+8 = \sqrt{20}or x+8= -\sqrt{20}
  • x = -8+\sqrt{20} or x =  -8- \sqrt{20}

so the first answer is the correct one

64; 8 +/- \sqrt{20}

Rewrite the equation
x^2+16x=-44

Complete the square on the left hand side and add the answer to the right side to balance it
(16/2)^2=(8)^2=64
x^2+16x+64=-44+64

Simplify the equation
(x+8)^2=20

Find the roots of both sides
x+8=4.5 to nearest tenth
x=4.5-8
x=-3.5

Hope it helps

what do you think would happen to a person if mortor neuron from the grey matter of spinal cord is removed?​

Step-by-step explanation:

Introduction

Until World War II, a serious spinal cord injury (SCI) usually meant certain death. Anyone who survived such injury relied on a wheelchair for mobility in a world with few accommodations and faced an ongoing struggle to survive secondary complications such as breathing problems, blood clots, kidney failure, and pressure sores. By the middle of the twentieth century, new antibiotics and novel approaches to preventing and treating bed sores and urinary tract infections revolutionized care after spinal cord injury. This greatly expanded life expectancy and required new strategies to maintain the health of people living with chronic paralysis. New standards of care for treating spinal cord injuries were established: reposition the spine, fix the bones in place to prevent further damage, and rehabilitate disabilities with exercise.

Today, improved emergency care for people with spinal cord injuries, antibiotics to treat infections, and aggressive rehabilitation can minimize damage to the nervous system and restore function to varying degrees. Advances in research are giving doctors and people living with SCI hope that spinal cord injuries will eventually be repairable. With new surgical techniques and developments in spinal nerve regeneration, cell replacement, neuroprotection, and neurorehabilitation, the future for spinal cord injury survivors looks brighter than ever.
