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)

Hello, how can I find the slope of 4y+6x=2?
omeli [17]

You solve for y

4y=-6x+2

y=-6/4x+2

y=-2/3x+2


Slope is -2/3, the number in front of x is the slope.

Factor the polynomial 16b^4+30b^3-12b^2
Lelu [443]

Answer:

2b²(8b²+15b-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

16b^{4}+30b³-12b²

2b²(8b²+15b-6)

This is not further factorable. If you want to find the roots, you'd have to use the quadratic formula for the polynomial in the parentheses. Therefore that is our final answer.

A cylinder and a cone have the same base and height. The cylinder can hold about 4,712 mc015-1.jpg of sand. Jared says that the
exis [7]
The correct answer is C. So, lets go first to the equations that determine the volume of these solids. For the cylinder, that is simple; pi*r*r*h where r is the radius, h is the height and pi is the constant 3.14. For the cone, it is not easy to derive but one gets that the formula is:\frac{ \pi*r^2*h}{3}.

We notice thus that V_{cyl}=\pi*r^2*h=3V_{cone}. That holds irrespective of their radius or height; we only need to know that the heights and radii of the two objects are the same. Now, we have thus that:
\frac{V_{Cyl}}{V_{Cone} } =1/3.

We can check if this holds for Jared's statement; 1178/4712=0.25=1/4. So, it does not hold and thus Jared's statement is incorrect.
