Sophia would have 16 pears. In order to solve this problem you have to subtract 2 from 18 in the equation 18-2.

Sophia = Ben - 2
Sophia = 18 - 2
Sophia = 16

In short, She has 16 pears

Hope this helps!

Complete the square than convert to vertex form. y=2x^2+8x-9

8_murik_8 [283]

$y=2x^2+8x-9\\D=b^2-4ac\\D=64-4(2)(-9)\\D=64+72 > 0$

There are 2 roots so the only way to complete the square is,

$y=2x^2+8x-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x)]-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x+4)-4]-9\\y=2[(x+2)^2-4]-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-8-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-17$

Just factor 2 out of 2x^2+8x (just ignore the -9) then find the number that will make the terms be able to complete the square.

then complete the square and multiply 2 inside the brackets.

subtraction as you already get the vertex form and know how to complete the square.

Vertex Form: $y=2(x+2)^2-17$

In65 - lnX = 39<br> What does X=?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 7.47</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are going find the natural logarithmic of the numbers involved and solve for x

$ln65-Ln x= 39\\$

from tables

$4.17-ln x= 39\4.17-39= lnx\\-34.83=lnx\\$

taking the exponents of both sides we have

$e^-^3^4^.^8^3= x\\x= 7.47$
