Well first we need to know how many inches are in one foot which is 12 inches for every foot. So now we can take 108 inches / 12 because there are 12 inches to a foot and we need to convert inches to feet. Which gives us are end answer of 9 feet in 108 inches.

The correct question is
<span>
Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square.f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1
–1 = 4x² + 8x
–1 = 4(x² + 2x)
–1 + 1 = 4(x² + 2x + 1)
0 = 4(x + 2)²
0 = (x + 2)²
0 = x + 2
–2 = x
What error did Penelope make in her work?
we have that
</span>f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1
to find the solutions of the quadratic function
let
f(x)=0
4x² + 8x + 1=0
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the
constant to the opposite side of the equation
(4x² + 8x)=-1
Factor the
leading coefficient
4*(x² + 2x)=-1
Complete the square Remember to balance the equation
by adding the same constants to each side.
4*(x² + 2x+1)=-1+4 --------> ( added 4 to both sides)
Rewrite as perfect squares
4*(x+1)²=3
(x+1)²=3/4--------> (+/-)[x+1]=√3/2
(+)[x+1]=√3/2---> x1=(√3/2)-1----> x1=(√3-2)/2
(-)[x+1]=√3/2----> x2=(-2-√3)/2
therefore
the answer is
<span>
Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.</span>
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing
I hope this helps you
x^2+4x+3=2x+6
x^2+2x-3 =0
x +3
x -1
(x+3)(x-1)=0
x+3=0 x= -3
x-1=0 x=1
