Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:
[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04
Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,
x^2 + (2/5)x = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or
(x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25
Answer:
Graph the linear equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 dozen = 12 apples.
3 apples cost 0.48, multiply that by 4 to get the price of 1 dozen.
0.48 x 4 = $1.92 per dozen.
Divide the total you can spend ( 3.84) by cost per dozen:
3.48 / 1.92 = 2
You can buy 2 dozen.
