Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -8x +3 = 0

(x^2 - 8x + 16) = -3 + 16

(x-4)^2 = 13

x - 4 =  (+/-)sqrt(13)

x = 4 +/- sqrt(13)

Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x + 3 = 0 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x² - 8x = - 3

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16

(x - 4)² = 13 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{13} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{13}

The cost of a gallon of gas increased from $3.54 to $3.87 over the weekend. What is the percent increase for the cost of gas, ro
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase is calculated as

\frac{increase}{original} × 100%

increase = $3.87 - $3.54 = $0.33 , then

% increase = \frac{0.33}{3.54} × 100% ≈ 9% ( to the nearest whole percent )

Which equation of a line passes through the points (3, −1) and (6, 1)?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept

given 2 points whose coordinates are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), m can be found with the following formula:

m = \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}

in this case, x1 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 6, y2=1

applying these values to the formula for m will give

m =  (-1 -1) / (3-6) = 2/3

We can see immediately that only the first (top-most) answer has this value for m and we can guess that this is probably the answer.

But we can still check to confirm:

If we substitute this back into the general equation, we get:

y = (2/3)x + b

In order to find the value for b, we substitute any one of the 2 given points back into this equation. Lets choose (6,1)

1 = (2/3)(6) + b

1 = 4 + b

b = -3

Confirm  Y = 2/3x - 3 is the answer.

What is a vertex . Please explain Thanks..
drek231 [11]

Step-by-step explanation: In geometry, a vertex is where two rays share a common endpoint or where they interest each other.

The rays are called the sides of the angle and

common endpoint is called the vertex.

The vertex is very important when naming angles because

the vertex is always at the center when naming the angle.

Below is an example of two rays that share a

common endpoint which is called the vertex.
