Answer:

His work is not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when we solve a quadratic equation by completing the square method,

Then, we follow the following steps,

Step 1 : Move the constant term to the right side of the equation,

Step 2 : Make 1 as the coefficient of x^2

Step 3 : Add the square of the half of the coefficient of the x in both sides.

Here, the given equation is,

3x^2-7x+12=0

Step 1 :  3x^2-7x=-12

Step 2 : x^2-\frac{7}{3}x=-4

Since, in the Joseph's work the above expression is x^2-\frac{7}{4}x=-4

Hence, his work is not accurate because he divide the second term of the left side of equation by 4 instead of 3.

3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.

In a group of 60 students, 12 students take Algebra I, 18 students take Algebra II, and 8 students take both subjects. How many
vodomira [7]
Since 8 students take both, that leaves only 4 students who take Algebra I alone.
Likewise since 8 students take both, that leaves 10 who only take Algebra 2
So out of the 60, twenty two are taking either Alg I Alg Ii or both.

That leaves 38 people who are not taking either.
b. 38

You can set this up using a 2 circle venn diagram.  Just be sure to put the 8 who take both in first.

What solution is this w = 10
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

9(w - 9) -2 = -7 + 7(w -8)

Expand:

9w - 81 - 2 = -7 + 7w - 56

Rearrange:

9w - 7w = -7 - 56 + 81 + 2

2w = 20

w = 10

Use the unit circle to find all values of thetabetween 0 and 2Ï€ for which sin(theta)=sqrt 3/2
ElenaW [278]
Sin(theta)=√3/2, 0≤theta≤360
In a unit circle, sin is y/r, r is always positive, y is positive in the first and second quadrant only. 
sin60=√3/2, sin120=√3/2
so theta is 60 or 120
