For a monic quadratic (factor of 1 on x^2) we always add half the coefficient on the linear (x) term, so

\left(\dfrac 7 2\right)^2 = \dfrac{49}{4}

Answer: 49/4

x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = 4 + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \frac 7 2)^2 = 4 + \frac{49}{4}

kirill115 [55]

Answer: 1 / 5 of the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

They traveled 7/10 of the distance on Saturday. This means that on Saturday, the fraction left was:

= 1 - 7/10

= 3/10 of the distance

On Sunday, they traveled 2/3 of this remaining distance. The fraction of the distance traveled is therefore:

= 2/3 * 3/10

= 6 / 30

= 1 / 5 of the total distance.
