Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0

To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;

Step 1:

Bringing c to the other side

ax²+bx = -c

Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:

x²+(b/a)x = -c/a

- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:

x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²

- Taking the square root of both sides

√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²

x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²

x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a

- Taking b/2a to the other side

x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a

Taking the LCM:

x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a

This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.

Answer:

- the pressure will decrease

(volume is doubled ,the pressure reduced by half).

Step-by-step explanation:

P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2

This equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion.

Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases.
