Answer:
B. (x-2)^2=12
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant that completes the square is the square of half the coefficient of the x-term. That value is (-4/2)^2 = 4.
There is already a constant of 2 on the left side of the equal sign, so we need to add 2 to both sides to bring that constant value up to 4.
x^2 -4x +2 = 10 . . . . . . . given
x^2 -4x +2 +2 = 10 +2 . . . . complete the square (add 2 to both sides)
(x -2)^2 = 12 . . . . . . . . . write as a square
The 12th decades every other day every three days and four days all have 12 in common I think
Let x be the first number
X + 1 be the second number
So
(x+1)^2 – x^2 = 2017
X^2 + 2x +1 – x^2 = 2017
2x + 1 = 2017
2x = 2017 – 1
2x = 2016
X = 1008
X + 1 = 1009
Sum = 1008 + 1009 = 2017
Answer:
d(t) = -20t -260
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two points ...
(t, d) = (3, -320) and (8, -420)
The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be useful when 2 points are given.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
Substituting the given points, we have ...
d(t) = (-420 -(-320))/(8 -3)(t -3) -320
d(t) = -20(t -3) -320
d(t) = -20t -260
Answer:
(x, y) = (1/2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting twice the first equation from the second gives ...
(2/x +1/y) -2(1/x -5/y) = (3) -2(7)
11/y = -11 . . . . simplify
y = -1 . . . . . . . multiply by y/-11
Using the second equation, we can find x:
2/x +1/-1 = 3
2/x = 4 . . . . . . . add 1
x = 1/2 . . . . . . . multiply by x/4
The solution is (x, y) = (1/2, -1).

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you clear fractions by multiplying each equation by xy, the problem becomes one of solving simultaneous 2nd-degree equations. It is much easier to consider this a system of linear equations, where the variable is 1/x or 1/y. Solving for the values of those gives you the values of x and y.
A graph of the original equations gives you an extraneous solution of (x, y) = (0, 0) along with the real solution (x, y) = (0.5, -1).
