How to complete the square with a leading coefficient?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
8 0
Factor out the leading coefficient:

ax^2+bx+c=a\left(x^2+\dfrac bax+\dfrac ca\right)

Now complete the square:

x^2+\dfrac bax+\dfrac ca=x^2+\dfrac bax+\dfrac{b^2}{4a^2}-\dfrac{b^2}{4a^2}+\dfrac ca=\left(x+\dfrac b{2a}\right)^2-\dfrac{b^2}{4a^2}+\dfrac{4ac}{4a^2}=\left(x+\dfrac b{2a}\right)^2-\dfrac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}

Now, redistributing the leading a gives

a\left(x+\dfrac b{2a}\right)^2-\dfrac{b^2-4ac}{4a}

What is the measurement of Angle JKL? *
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangles given in the picture,

Since, JK ≅ KL [Given]

JM ≅ ML [Given]

KM ≅ KM [Reflexive property of congruence]

ΔJMK ≅ ΔLMK [SSS property of congruence]

Therefore, ∠JKM ≅ ∠LKM [CPCTC]

(2x + 5) = (3x - 6)

3x - 2x = 5 + 6

x = 11

m∠JKL = m∠JKM + m∠LKM

            = (2x + 5) + (3x - 6)

            = 5x - 1

            = 5(11) - 1

             = 54

Option (1) will be the answer.

aniked [119]
Since you have the answers given, just track their walking.
After one hour, one guy has covered 3mi and the other 4mi, which is in total 7, not 14
After 2 hours, one guy has covered 6mi and the other 8mi, which is 14mi

The algebraic way would be:
3x +4x = 14 *x being the hour
7x = 14
x =2

£6.72 not sure but think that’s right, because you divide by ten for ten percent and multiply it by two (20%) then add it to £5.60
