Answer:

f(x)=(x+1/2)^2 +(- 30.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are required to rewrite the given function by using completing the square method.

Completing the square method requires that our given equation can be written in form: (a\pm b)^2 = a^2 \pm 2ab +b^2

SO, we have to transform our equation according to above format.

Since our equation is x^2+x-30, we will transform it into

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab +b^2

because the middle term of given equation has + sign.

x^2+x-30=0\\x^2+x=30\\x^2 + 2(x)(1/2) + (1/2) ^2 = 30 + (1/2)^2

We have introduced (1/2)^2 on both sides of the equation to gain the required form.

(x+1/2)^2 = 30.25\\(x+1/2)^2 - 30.25 = 0\\f(x) = (x+1/2)^2 +(- 30.25)

Our answer is f(x)=(x+1/2)^2 +(- 30.25)

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:300,000

Step-by-step explanation: if the 4 was a 5 or higher then the answer would’ve been 400,00 but since the number next to the underlined digit is 4 then it goes to 300,00. (4 or below leave it alone 5 or above give it a shove)
