A set has closure under an operation if performance of that operation on members of the set always produces a member of the same set; in this case we also say that the set is closed under the operation.
A closure property is a certain rule that holds <u>if it is true for all elements of a set under the given operation</u> and a closure property does not hold <u>if there is at least one pair of elements that do not follow the closure property under the given operation.</u>
Therefore, Emma is correct, because you can find a counterexample (7:2=3.5) that gives you a non-integer answer.
Answer: correct option is B
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
