<span>x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25

    "Completing the square" is one of many different techniques for solving a quadratic equation. What you do is add a constant to both sides of the equation such that the lefthand side can be factored into the form a(x+d)^2. For instance, squaring (X+D) = X^2 + 2DX + D^2. Notice the 2DX term. That is the same term as the 15x term in the problem. So 2D = 15, D = 7.5. And D^2 = 7.5^2 = 56.25.
So we have
 x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25
 Which is
 x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
  Which is the answer desired.

   Now the rest of this is going beyond the answer. Namely, it's answering the question "Why does complementing the square help?" Well, we know that the left hand side of the equation can now be written as
 (x+7.5)^2 = 105.25

   Now take the square root of each side
 (x+7.5) = sqrt(105.25)

   And let's use both the positive and negative square roots.
So x+7.5 = 10.25914226
 and
 x+7.5 = -10.25914226

   And let's find X.
 x+7.5 = 10.25914226
 x = 2.759142264

   x+7.5 = -10.25914226
 x = -17.75914226

   So the roots for x^2 + 15x - 49 is 2.759142264, and -17.75914226</span>

What is the estimated sum of 3 16/17 plus 6 1/5?<br> The estimated sum is
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The estimated sum is ≈10

Step-by-step explanation:

This depends on how your professor wants you to estimate sums. Logically, though, a value of nearly 4 and a value of just over 6 add to about 10. The exact answer would be a bit over 10, at ≈10.14117

What is -6w &lt; 85. help
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

w=[-14.1667, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

the variable w can be any real number less than the value of 85, thus -6 multiplied by any number greater than the value of 14.1667 shall be less than 85. the value for the minimum limit number is obtained dividing 85 by -6 due to the varibale -6w and the value 85 as the maximum limit.
