2x² - 4x = 14

<u>Divide by 2 through:</u>

x² - 2x = 7

x² - 2x + (2/2)² = 7 + (2/2)²

<u>Complete the square:</u>

(x - 1)² = 7 + 1

<u>Combine like terms:</u>

(x - 1)² = 8

Answer: (x - 1)² = 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question did not ask to solve x. But here is the solution if needed to solve x:

(x - 1)² = 8

x - 1 = ±√8

x = 1 ±√+8

x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2

Answer: x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2

A. The expression given in the question is

c = 6x + (900000/x)
c = (6x^ +900000)/x
I hope that this is the expression that you were looking for.

b. When x = 240, then

c = [6 * (240)^2 + 900000]/ 240
= (6 * 57600) + 900000/240
= (345600 + 900000)/240
= 5190

From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the cost of ordering and storing is 5190. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
