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)

Distance traveled varies jointly as rate and time. If Fred travels 135 miles in 3 hours at a rate of 45 mi/hr, find the rate at
Rudiy27

From the relation, d is joint proportionaly with r and t.
Thus,d = krt.

Using the first set of given, we could calculate for k.135 = k(45)(3)k = 1

Using the computed value of k.d = krtr = d/ktr = (189)/(1)(3.5) = 54 mph.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
