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>
Answer:
6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3X5=15
97.5/ 15 = 6.5
Choosing the first tile:
At first, there are 7 tiles.
You are interested in choosing a 5. There is only one tile with a 5.
p(5) = 1/7
Choosing the second tile:
After the 5 has been taken, now there are 6 tiles left.
Only one tile has the number 6.
p(6) = 1/6
The overall probability of choosing a 6 after a 5 is the product of the individual probabilities:
p( 5 then 6) = 1/7 * 1/6 = 1/42
Answer: The probability of choosing a 5 and then a 6 is 1/42.
each friend gets 9 figures because 9 x 4 = 36
