Ignore -4y for now, put of to side

so what you do

(x^2+20x+100)-4y=0
take 1/2 of 20 and squaer it to get 100
neat, 100 is already there
so then factor perefect square
(x+10)²-4y=0
that is how you complete the square
if we had 4y² instead of 4y we could get
(x+10-2y)(x+10+2y)=0 but we don't


completed square is
(x+10)²-4y=0

Ignore the -4y term for now. Only focus on x^2+20x+100. This can be factored to (x+10)^2. Notice how expanding it out gives

(x+10)^2 = (x+10)(x+10) 
(x+10)^2 = x(x+10) + 10(x+10)
(x+10)^2 = x^2+10x + 10x + 100
(x+10)^2 = x^2 + 20x + 100

So this means
x^2+20x-4y+100 = 0
turns into
(x+10)^2 - 4y = 0
after we factor

The second equation listed above implies that we have a parabola because we can solve for y to get
-4y = -(x+10)^2
y = (1/4)(x+10)^2

Christine's middle school has a total of 900 students and 45 teachers . The local high school has 110 teachers & a student-t
qaws [65]

Answer:

2,200 students

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students, create a proportion which is two equal ratios. Since the middle school and the high school are proportional then they have equal ratios.

\frac{students}{teachers}= \frac{900}{45}=\frac{x}{110}

Solve for x by cross multiplying by multiplying the numerator and denominator of each fraction.

900(110) = 45(x)

99,000=45x

2,200 = x

Find the value of x in each case:
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x = 11°

4x = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Line BC || Line EF... (given)

BF is transversal.

\angle BFG + \angle BFE = 180\degree\\.. (straight \: line \: \angle 's) \\ + \angle BFE = 180\degree\\\angle BFE = 180\degree-147\degree \\\angle BFE = 33\degree\\

\angle BED is exterior angle of \angle EBF

Hence, by remote interior angle theorem of triangle, we have:

m\angle BED = m\angle EBF + \angle BFE  \\4x = x + 33\degree \\4x - x = 33\degree \\3x = 33\degree \\x = \frac{33}{3}\\\huge \purple {\boxed {x = 11\degree}} \\4x = 4\times 11\degree \\\huge \orange{\boxed {4x = 44\degree}}
