Answer:
- C) (x − 3)2 = 25
- C) Factor out 4 from 4x2 + 40x.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation will "complete the square." That square is 9, so the result on the right is 16+9 = 25. Only selection C matches.
___
2. To complete the square, you want to be able to put the quadratic into the form a(x -h)^2 = -k. For the purpose, it is most convenient to first factor "a" from the given quadratic. Then you can determine "-h" to be half the x-coefficient inside the parentheses.
Here, that looks like ...
4(x² +10x) = 80 . . . . . . . . . . step 1: factor out 4
4(x² +10x +25) = 180 . . . . . add 25 inside parentheses and the same number (4·25) on the right side of the equation
4(x +5)² = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . written as a square
You have to consider the “ends” of the x-axis, the far right (for infinitely large values of x) and left (for infinitely small values of x) of the graph.
From the diagram above you can see that:
- When
then
(notice that as the values of x get smaller and smaller, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1); - When
then
(notice that as the values of x get larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1).
Answer: correct choice is D.
Answer: 1/4 round.
Step-by-step explanation:
Grace has 3 wheels of cheese and she wants to eat an equal amount each day for 12 days. So each wheel needs to last 12/3 = 4 days. So then she can eat 1 wheel/4 days = 1/4 wheel per day.

<u>Quadratic Function</u>
Standard Form of Quadratic Function
The standard representation of a quadratic function is:

where a,b, and c are constants.
When the zeros of f (x1 and x2) are given, it can be written as:
f(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)
Where a is a constant called the leading coefficient.
We are given the two roots of f: x1=-3 and x2=4, thus:
f(x)=a(x+3)(x-4)
We also know that f(5)=8, thus:
f(5)=a(5+3)(5-4)=8
Operating:
a(8)(1)=8
Solving:
a=1
The function is:
f(x)=1(x+3)(x-4)
Operating:

Answer:
1 golf ball : $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
- You can first divide 6 and 15 by 3, and get 2 and 5.
- Then, you divide 5 by 2, which is 2.5
- Therefore, the unit rate is 1 golf ball : $2.50
