Answer:

option (b) is correct.

First step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0

We have to find the first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation.

Quadratic formula  is given by \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Consider the given quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0

Divide the equation by a, we get,

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0

Take \frac{c}{a} to other side, we get,

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x=-\frac{c}{a}

Add (\frac{b}{2a})^2 to both side, we get,

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}

Thus, the left side is in the form of (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab

On solving, we get,

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}

Then solve for x , we get quadratic formula \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Thus, first step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

In deriving the quadratic formula from the equation 0=ax^2+bx+c where the first step is -c=ax^2+bx, subtraction property of equality best justifies step one. It states that when you subtract the same number in both sides of the equation, the expressions on both sides remain equal. In this case, we subtracted c from both sides resulting to the equation <span>-c=ax^2+bx.</span>

If a cake is cut into thirds and each third is cut into fourths, how many pieces of cake are there?
IrinaK [193]
The question is asking for a fourth of a third.
1/4 of 1/3
"of" = multiplying in math
1/4 x 1/3
= 1/12
That means it is cut in twelfths and it has 12 slices.

Answer= 12 slices

Hope this helps :)

Is that the whole question? It does not specify, so that means there is a 50/50 chance for either.
