Answer:

x = 1 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • The quadratic equation, x² + 4x - 13 = -8

We are required to solve the equation using the completing square method.

To do this, we use the following steps;

Step 1: We make sure the coefficient of x² is one

x² + 4x - 13 = -8

Step 2: Combine the like terms (take the constant term to the other side)

x² + 4x - 13 = -8

x² + 4x = -8 + 13

we get

x² + 4x  = 5

Step 3: We add the square of half the coefficient of x on both sides of the equation

Coefficient of x = 4

Half of coefficient of x = 2

Square of half the coefficient of x = 2² (4)

We get;

x² + 4x + (2²)  = 5 + (2²)

Step 4: Put x and 2 under one square and the solve the other side of the equation.

We get

(x + 2)² = 5 + 4

(x + 2)² = 9

Step 5: Get the square root on both sides of the equation;

(x + 2)² = 9

√(x + 2)² = ±√9

(x + 2)= ±3

Therefore;

x+2 = + 3 or x + 2 = -3

Thus, x = 1 or -5

The solution of the equation is x = 1 or x = -5

A store has 1173 pairs of socks. the socks are sold in packs of 4 pairs. how many packs of socks can the store sell?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

293 packs is the maximum the store can sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number of packs that can be made with 4 pairs of socks.

(1173 pairs)/(4 pairs/pack) = 293.25 packs

We can't sell 0.25 pack (1 pair of socks), so drop that fraction to yield 293 full packs.  Donate the spare pair, so to speak, to the local IRS agent.

The equation of function h is h... PLEASE HELP MATH
Flura [38]

Answer:

Part A: the value of h(4) - m(16) is -4

Part B: The y-intercepts are 4 units apart

Part C: m(x) can not exceed h(x) for any value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the table to find the function m(x)

There is a constant difference between each two consecutive values of x and also in y, then the table represents a linear function

The form of the linear function is m(x) = a x + b, where

  • a is the slope of the function
  • b is the y-intercept

The slope = Δm(x)/Δx

∵ At x = 8, m(x) = 2

∵ At x = 10, m(x) = 3

∴ The slope = \frac{3-2}{10-8}=\frac{1}{2}

∴ a = \frac{1}{2}

- Substitute it in the form of the function

∴ m(x) = \frac{1}{2} x + b

- To find b substitute x and m(x) in the function by (8 , 2)

∵ 2 = \frac{1}{2} (8) + b

∴ 2 = 4 + b

- Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ -2 = b

∴ m(x) = \frac{1}{2} x - 2

Now let us answer the questions

Part A:

∵ h(x) = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)²

∴ h(4) = \frac{1}{2} (4 - 2)²

∴ h(4) = \frac{1}{2} (2)²

∴ h(4) =  \frac{1}{2}(4)

∴ h(4) = 2

∵ m(x) = \frac{1}{2} x - 2

∴ m(16) =  \frac{1}{2} (16) - 2

∴ m(16) = 8 - 2

∴ m(16) = 6

- Find now h(4) - m(16)

∵ h(4) - m(16) = 2 - 6

∴ h(4) - m(16) = -4

Part B:

The y-intercept is the value of h(x) at x = 0

∵ h(x) = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)²

∵ x = 0

∴ h(0) = \frac{1}{2} (0 - 2)²

∴ h(0) =  \frac{1}{2} (-2)² =  

∴ h(0) = 2

∴ The y-intercept of h(x) is 2

∵ m(x) = \frac{1}{2} x - 2

∵ x = 0

∴ m(0) = \frac{1}{2} (0) - 2 = 0 - 2

∴ m(0) = -2

∴ The y-intercept of m(x) is -2

- Find the distance between y = 2 and y = -2

∴ The difference between the y-intercepts of the graphs = 2 - (-2)

∴ The difference between the y-intercepts of the graphs = 4

∴ The y-intercepts are 4 units apart

Part C:

The minimum/maximum point of a quadratic function f(x) = a(x - h) + k is point (h , k)

Compare this form with the form of h(x)

∵ h = 2 and k = 0

∴ The minimum point of the graph of h(x) is (2 , 0)

∵ k is the minimum value of f(x)

∴ 0 is the minimum value of h(x)

∴ The domain of h(x) is all real numbers

∴ The range of h(x) is h(x) ≥ 2

∵ m(8) = 2

∵ m(14) = 5

∵ h(8) = \frac{1}{2} (8 - 2)² = 18

∵ h(14) = \frac{1}{2} (14 - 2)² = 72

∴ h(x) is always > m(x)

∴ m(x) can not exceed h(x) for any value of x

<em>Look to the attached graph for more understand</em>

The blue graph represents h(x)

The green graph represents m(x)

The blue graph is above the green graph for all values of x, then there is no value of x make m(x) exceeds h(x)
