Solve the quadratic equation x2 + 14x = 51 by completing the square.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 14x = 51

To complete the square

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

x² + 2(7)x + 49 = 51 + 49 , that is

(x + 7)² = 100 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 7 = ± \sqrt{100} = ± 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = - 7 ± 10

Thus

x = - 7 - 10 = - 17

x = - 7 + 10 = 3

The line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment whose endpoints are R(-1, 6) and S(5, 5)
velikii [3]
I think what you are looking for is to indicate an ecuation for this. So lets do the procedure: 
First you need to find the slope of this line. 
<span>(5 - 6)/(5 + 1) = -1/6 </span>
<span>So, The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal, which is </span>
<span>+6/1.</span><span>Now we know the slope of the line but still have to find the mid point of the line. </span>
That is why we are going to <span>use the mid point equation </span>
<span>x = (-1 + 5)/2 = 2 </span>
<span>y = (6 + 5)/2 = 11/2 </span><span> </span>
<span>(y - 11/2) = 6(x - 2) </span>
<span>The last thing you do is rearrange the equation to get y = 6x - 6.5
Hope this is what you were looking for </span>

Patricia scored 80% on her math test. She missed 4 problems. How many problems were on the test?
Yuri [45]

Hey there!

If she missed 4 problems, and that took off 20%, that means 4 is 20% of the total items.

20% is the same as 1/5 of the total amount, since there are 5 20s in 100.  

So, we can simply multiply 4 by 5 to get the total amount of problems.

4 x 5 = 20

This means there were 20 problems on the test.

Hope this helps!
