What number must be added to x^2+6x+7 to form a perfect square

Mathematics

RSB [31]3 years ago
7 0
Let the number be k,

Then adding to the expression we have,

{x}^{2}  + 6x + 7 + k
For this to be a perfect square, the discriminant must be zero.

We have,

a=1, b=6, c=7+k


{b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0

This implies that

{6}^{2}  - 4(1)(7 +k ) = 0
36 - 28 - 4k = 0
8 - 4k = 0
8 = 4k
k = 2
hence the number to be added is 2

By direct division, we will find that the length of each piece of rope is 10.5m

<h3>How to perform the division?</h3>

So e start with a 42 meter long rope and we cut it into 4 equal parts, then we know that each one of these pieces will have a length equal to:

L = (42m/4)

To perform that division, you can see that 42<u> is not a multiple of 4</u>, so we can write:

L = (40m + 2m)/4 = (40m/4) + (2m/4)

The first quotient is just equal to 10m, while the second one is:

(2m/4) = (1m/2) = 0.5m

Then we have:

L =  (40m/4) + (2m/4) = 10m + 0.5m = 10.5m

Each piece of rope has a length of 10.5m

36 Points!!! Enter the missing numbers in the boxes to complete the table of equivalent ratios of lengths to widths.
EleoNora [17]

I think it's width= 3 times length

So the 1. length is 18/3=6

The 2. Width is 8*3=24

The 4. width is 12*3=36
