X² +18x = 0

To complete the square we are going to use formula a² +2ab +b² = (a+b)²

x² +2*9*x = 0
x² +2*9x+9² = 9²
(x+9)² = 9²
√(x+9)² = +/-√9²
x+9 = 9, or x+9 = -9
x=0, or x= - 18

The equation could be solved different way
x² +18x = 0
x(x+18) = 0
x=0 or x+18=0
x=0 or x=-18

We know that a perfect square has the form
(x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2
If we substitute the numbers in the given equation, we have 
(x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2 = x^2+2x(9) + y^2
By comparison of the coefficients of the term xy, we have y=9, hence we need y^2=9^2=81 to complete the square. 

The completed square would be
(x+9)^2-81=0  (which expands back to x^2+18x=0)

However, if the objective is to solve the equation, I would solve it by factoring, i.e. 
x^2+18x=0 => x(x+18)=0 => x=0 or x=-18

Express 0,45 as a common fraction in simplest form
Bezzdna [24]
In order to express 0.45 as a common fraction, all you have to do is first divide 45 to 100. So in order to get the answer to this, you just have to put 45 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. This will become 45/100. To turn it into its simple form, you have to first ask yourself what is a common divisible number for the two. 5 can be divided by 45 and 100 so 5 can be used. So the final answer, if you make it into simplest form, will be 9/20

What is the average rate of change for ƒ(x) = −2x + 70 over the interval 2 ≤ x ≤ 6?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The average rate of change is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.

In a linear function the average rate of change is a constant and is equal to the slope of the function

The linear function in slope intercept form is equal to

f(x)=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear function

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear function

In this problem we have

f(x)=-2x+70

so

m=-2\\b=70

therefore

The average rate of change is -2
