Answer:

We must add number 36 to complete the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : x² + 12x = -3.

To find : What number must you add to complete the square.

Solution : We have given that

x² + 12x = -3.

Step 1) On multiplying and divide by 2 the term 12 x

x² + 2 * $\frac{12}{2}$ x = -3.

x² + 2 * 6x = -3.

Step 2 ) Now add and subtracting square of 6 on left side.

x² + 2 * 6x + 6² - 6² = -3.

x² + 2 * 6x + 6² - 36 = -3.

We can see first three terms are complete square

(x + 6 )² - 36 = -3 .

On adding both side by 36

(x + 6 )² = - 3 + 36

(x + 6 )² = 33.

Therefore, We must add number 36 to complete the square.

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x > 0)

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point $(x_0,y_0)$ the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$ or equivalently

$y = mx+(y_0-mx_0)$ .

Recall that a line of the form $y=mx+b$ , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is $\frac{-b}{m}$ .

So, in our case, the y intercept is $(y_0-mx_0)$ and the x intercept is $\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}$ .

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph $(x_0,\frac{1}{x_0})$ . Which means that $y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}$

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at $x_0$ . Using the properties of derivatives, we get

$y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}$ . So evaluated at $x_0$ we get $m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}$

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

$(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}$

The x intercept is

$\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0$

The triangle in consideration has height $\frac{2}{x_0}$ and base $2x_0$ . So the area is

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2$

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.

Can somebody explain Literal equations to solve for a given variable? i am so confused about it

anastassius [24]

The explanation of using Literal equations to solve for a given variable is as explained below.

How to solve Literal Equations?

Literal equations are equations containing two or more variables; at least one independent variable and one dependent variable

To solve a literal equation means to rewrite the equation so a different variable stands alone on one side of the equals sign. We have to be told for which variable we want to solve.

Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0 and are solved using basic algebraic operations.

We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable.

(x) = 3x + 5?<br> domain and range

kherson [118]

Answer:

Domain is the values that x can take. In terms of real numbers x can take any value and the function will make sense. Since this is linear function the range is not limited too. So the range and domain coincide and are (-infinity;infinity)
