Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 8x + 0 = 0

Completing the square just means getting yourself a perfect square trinomial on the left side of your equation. It makes factoring easier for you. The steps are like this:

x² + 8x + 0 = 0 ... take the middle coefficient, 8, divide it by 2, and square it. Same process every time. Divide middle by two, square it. This gives you the "perfect square" of your equation. In this case, 8/2 = 4, and 4² = 16. So what you do is add 16 to BOTH sides of the equation.

x² + 8x + 16 = 16 ... factor the left side

(x + 4)(x + 4) = 16 ... notice that your two factors on the left are identical

(x + 4)² = 16 ... now we want to solve for x. Start by taking the square root of both sides

x + 4 = √16 ... √16 can give us two results: -4 and 4. So solve for both.

x + 4 = 4         x + 4 = -4  ... solve for x

x = 0,              x = -8

Renting a room at the Willow tree resort costs $125 for 2 people. Each additional person is $25. Write an expression that shows
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let C be the cost for the people staying

if n <= 2 ;  C = $125

If n >2 ;  C =  $125 + $25 * (n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of people is more than two, we need to add $25 for each of them.

Since n will be the number of people staying, we need to make sure that we substract two from this term to avoid overcharging the guests when there is less than two people.

So

(n-2) is the term that should be multiplied by a factor of 25.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:leading Question

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading Question is the type of question that implicitly encourages a respondent to answer in a particular way. Leading questions are generally inappropriate as they lead to false and slanted information.

for example: If you ask an employee that "Do you have any Problem with your boss?"

This questions explicitly encourages the employee to think that there are Problems.

Another example is that  

"How fast is truck moving when it crashed into the car?"

This question directly blames the truck that it is at fault.

Similarly, the above question indicates that all Americans must possess cell phones
