Answer:
y = (x+3)² - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square take the middle term b and divide by 2. Then square the value.
Here b = 6.
So 6/2 = 3
3² = 9
Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
x² + 6x + 8 = 0
x² + 6x + 9 + 8 = 9
(x+3)² - 1 = y
Answer:
4 horses maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
you might subtract the 4 horses from the left to get 8 horses in the right but that's equal to 2 elephants so divide 8 by 2 to get the 1 elephant so 4 maybe
Answer:
17/36
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find a common denominator, so the first common denominator for 4 and 9 is 36. 9x4=36, so we multiply 2 by 4, which equals 8. 4x9-36, so we multiply the 1 by 9, and get 9. Then we add the numerators, 8 and 9, and get 17. So it's 17/36
Answer:
- rational
- irrational
- irrational
- irrational
- √7, it is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>rational</em> number is one that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. All fractions that have integer numerators and (non-zero) denominators are <em>rational</em> numbers. Any finite decimal number, or any repeating decimal number, is a rational number. These can always be expressed as the ratio of two integers. For example, 0.4040... = 40/99, and 0.286 = 286/1000.
To make an irrational sum, at least one of the contributors must be irrational. You want an irrational 2-number sum that has 7/8 as one of the contributors. Since 7/8 is rational, the other contributor must be irrational.
__
<u>Step 1</u>. The number 7/8 is <em>rational</em>.
<u>Step 2</u>. The desired sum is <em>irrational</em>.
<u>Step 3</u>. The rule <em>rational + </em><em>irrational</em><em> = irrational</em> applies.
<u>Step 4</u>. An <em>irrational</em> number must be chosen.
Step 5. √7 will produce an irrational sum, because <em>it is irrational</em>.
