Answer:
- 5(x +1.5)^2
- 10(x +1)^2
- 1/4(x +2)^2
- 3(x +5/6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...
a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2
This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.
a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2
b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2
c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2
d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.
Answer:
Line PU has points R and S between points P and U, lines QR and ST are parallel, line QR intersects line PU at point R, line ST. intersects line PU at point S, the measure of angle PRQ is 135 degrees, and the measure of angle UST is 15 ( x plus 2 ) degrees. X = −1 x = 7 x = 9 x = 13

Answer:
300 points
Step-by-step explanation:
160 + 20 = 180
180 would have been 60 percent
180/60 = 300
300 would have been needed to pass
Proven by:
300 * 60% = 180
180 - 20 = 160
