B. 361/4
you get: x^2-19x+361/4=(x-19/2)^2

Answer: The correct option is (b) $\dfrac{361}{4}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct value of 'n' such that $x^2-19x+n$ becomes a perfect square trinomial.

The standard form of a perfect square trinomial is

$(x+a)^2=x^2+2a+a^2.$

Now, we can write

$x^2-19x+n\\\\=x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{19}{2}+\dfrac{361}{4}+n-\dfrac{361}{4}\\\\\\=(x-\dfrac{19}{2})^2+n-\dfrac{361}{4}.$

So, for the given expression to be perfect trinomial,

$n-\dfrac{361}{4}=0\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{361}{4}.$

Thus, (b) is the correct option.

Someone plz answer i rlly need help Solve for a.<br><br> a+(−1.6)=−3.7

Norma-Jean [14]

Hi there!

All you need to do to solve for a is add 1.6 to both sides of the equation.

It will look like this:
a - 1.6 + 1.6 = -3.7 + 1.6

After this you will see that a = -2.1.

Hope this helps!
When in doubt just replace a with -2.1 and see if you still get -3.7. :)

I NEED HELPP PLZ Which equation best represents the relationship shown in this graph?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 2x

the formula for linear equations are y = mx+c,

where m is the gradient,

and c is the y-intercept

to find m (the gradient):

1. pick to points on the graph (eg. -2,-4 and 2,4)

2 substitute the values into the formula for gradient y2-y1/x2-x1.

m = y2-y1/x1-x2

= -4 -4/-2-2

= -8/-4

= 2

to find c (y-intercept):

- the y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y axis

- in this graph, the y-intercept is 0

hence,

c = 0

substitute m = 2 and c = 0 to y = mx+c,

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

hence, the equation that best represents the relationship shown in the graph is y = 2x.

Shawna invests $5,048 in a savings account with a fixed annual interest rate of 4% compounded 12 times per year. How long will i

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we are given;

Amount invested or principal amount as $5048
Rate of interest as 4% compounded 12 times per year
Amount accrued as $6,163.59

We are required to determine the time taken for the money invested to accrue to the given amount;

Using compound interest formula;

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$

where n is the interest period and r is the rate of interest, in this case, 4/12%(0.33%)

Therefore;

$6,163.59=5,048(1+\frac{0.333}{100})^n$

$1.221=(1+\frac{0.333}{100})^n$

$1.221=(1.0033)^n$

introducing logarithms on both sides;

$log1.221=log(1.0033)^n\\n=\frac{log1.221}{log1.0033} \\n=60.61$

But, 1 year = 12 interest periods

Therefore;

Number of years = 60.61 ÷ 12

= 5.0508

= 5 years

Therefore, it will take 5 years for the invested amount to accrue to $6163.59
