For y=x^2-6x-11

complete the square

so roots
set y=0
0=x^2-6x-11

group x terms
0=(x^2-6x)-11
take 1/2 of linear coefient (-6) and square it
-6/2=-3, (-3)^2=9
add positive and neative to inside of parenthasees
0=(x^2-6x+9-9)-11
complete square
0=((x-3)^2-9)-11
expand
0=(x-3)^2-9-11
0=(x-3)^2-20
add 20 to both sides
20=(x-3)^2
sqrt both sides
remember positive and negative roots

+/-2√5=x-3
add 3 to both sides
3+/-2√5=x

so
x=3+2√5 and 3-2√5

I need help on number 6
taurus [48]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

First we set up our equation. From the picture we can see that:

11 + x + 1 = 2x + 12

Now we can gather our like terms:

x + 12 = 2x + 12

Lets subtract x from both sides to isolate the x on the left:

12 = x + 12

Next we subtract 12 from both sides

x = 0

Check the answer

11 + 0 + 1 = 2(0) + 12

12 = 0 + 12

12 = 12

Brett paid $229 for 8 tickets to a baseball game, which includes the $13 service fee applied to every order. How much will Brett
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$418

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to find how much a single ticket will cost.

Subtract the service fee to get how much it cost for 8 tickets.

229-13=216

Then divide that number by 8 to find how much a single ticket costs.

216÷8=27

1 ticket costs $27.

Multiply that by 15 to get how much 15 tickets cost.

27×15=405

Then add back the service fee.

405+13=418

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 20 feet below the ocean surface.She countined her descent at a rate of 20 feet
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

20 + 20x \leq 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of minutes she can continue, since she's already 20 feet below the ocean surface and is diving at the rate of 20 ft/minute, her depth with respect to x would be

20 + 20x

But she doesn't want to reach more than 100 feet below the surface

20 + 20x \leq 100
