Answer:

p = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x, that is

x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} with p = \frac{1}{4} , thus

x² - x = (x - \frac{1}{2} )² + \frac{1}4}

A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function r(t) = 3t, where t represents t
Anika [276]
R(t) = 3t ; where t represents the time in minutes and r represents how far the paint is spreading.
A(r) = πr²

Part A: 
A[r(t)] = π (3t)² = 3.14 * 9t² = 28.26t²

Part B:
r(10) = 3(10) = 30
A(r) = 3.14 * 30² = 3.14 * 900 = 2,826 square unit
