Helen is solving a quadratic equation. She wants to find the value of x by taking the square root of both sides of the equation.

Which equation allows her to do this?
1) x^2+ 24x + 144 = 17

2) x^2 + 7x + 12 = 34

3) x^2+ 7x + 49 = 10

4) x^2+ 25x + 10 = 20

Answer:

1) x^2+ 24x + 144 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 1) because the left side in the equation

x^2+ 24x + 144 = 17

can be represented a perfect square:

x^2+ 24x + 144=(x+12)^2

so we have that the original equation becomes:

(x+12)^2=17

and then, taking the square root of both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{(x+12)^2} = ± \sqrt{17}

x+12= ±\sqrt{17}

we are left with an equation where we can find the values of x.

so we clear for x and we get:

x= ±\sqrt{17} -12

thus,  the two values of x are:

x_{1}=\sqrt{17}-12 \\x_{2}=-\sqrt{17}-12

Simplify the following expression<br>6a^4c+8ac^2-4a^4c-15-10ac^2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

2a^4c-2ac^2-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry, I not sure if this is right or not cause I don't know if the exponent for -4a^4c is that or -4a^4c-15, but I'm just going to go with -4a^4c. However aside from that you just combine like terms.
