Ax^2+bx+c=d
to comlete teh square
minus c to both sides
make sure a=1, if not, divide both sides by a
take 1/2 of b, then square that and add that to both sides

so
x^2+10x=26
c is already over
a=1
b=10
10/2=5
5^2=25
add 25 both sides
x^2+10x+25=26+25
factor
(x+5)^2=51
sqrt both sides
x+5=+/-√51
 minus 5
x=-5+/-√51

x=-5+√51 or -5-√51

                        x² + 10x = 26
                x² + 10x + 25 = 26 + 25
          x² + 5x + 5x + 25 = 51
x(x) + x(5) + 5(x) + 5(5) = 51
         x(x + 5) + 5(x + 5) = 51
                 (x + 5)(x + 5) = 51
                          (x + 5)² = 51
                             x + 5 = ±√(51)
                                 - 5      - 5
                                   x = -5 ± √(51)
                                   x = -5 + √(51)    or    x = -5 - √(51)

Which statement about the values 0.034 and 3.40 are true
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>This question requires options.</em>

<em>Since none is provided, I will give a general solution.</em>

<em></em>

We have: 0.034 and 3.40

Required

The relationship between them

3.40 can be expressed as:

3.40 \to 0.034 * 100

This means that 3.40 is 100 of 0.034

Similarly, 0.034 can be expressed as:

0.034 \to 3.40 * \frac{1}{100}

This means that 0.034 is 1/100 of 3.40
