Answer:
I think it would be C but i don't think I'm 100% right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question: What value of c will complete the square below (
) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Answer: c = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of
.
To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.
Dividing by
on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
Answer:
2 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of people (n) = 50
Borderlands II (B) = 20
Fortnite (F) = 33
Minecraft (M) = 19
Borderlands and Fortnite (B&F) = 15
Borderlands and Minecraft (B&M)= 10
All games (B&M&F) = 5
The number of people that claimed more than one game as their favorite (X) is given by:

Those people can be divided in B&F only, B&M only, M&F only and B&M&F:

7 people claimed that Minecraft and Fortnite were their favorites however, 5 of those people claimed all of the games as their favorite. Therefore, only 2 people declared Minecraft and Fortnite (exclusively) as their favorites.
