<span>divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get: 

(x + 1/4)^2 = -7/16 ***** this is your solution. 

continue further to solve for x if you care to, but the problem did not require you to do this. 

take the square root of both sides of the equation to get: 

x + 1/4 = plus or minus sqrt(-7/16) 

subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation to get x = -1/4 plus or minus sqrt(-7/16). 

since sqrt(-7/16) is the same as sqrt(7/16) * i, your solution becomes: 

x = -1/4 plus or minus sqrt(7/16) * i. 

your problem was to convert it to the form of (x + p)2 = q. 

the solution to that is: 

</span><span>(x + 1/4)^2 = -7/16 </span><span>subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to get: 

2x^2 + x = -1 

factor out a 2 on the left side of the equation to get: 

2 * (x^2 + x/2) = -1 

complete the squares on x^2 + x/2 to get: 

2 * ((x+1/4)^2 - (1/16)) = -1 

simplify by distibuting the multiplication to get: 

2 * (x+1/4)^2 - 2*(1/16) = -1 

simplify further to get: 

2 * (x+1/4)^2 - 1/8 = -1 

add 1/8 to both sides of the equation to get: 

2 * (x + 1/4)^2 = -7/8 .

Of the 1,640 students enrolled at a school, 50% come to school by bus, 35% come by car, and the rest of the students walk home.
ehidna [41]
So first we need to find what percent of the students walk to school. 

50 + 35 = 85% don't walk leaving only 15% that walk to school, 

To find the 15% percent that DO walk we multiply .15 by the total number of people. 

.15 x 1640 = 246 people walk to school

james has decided to start saving for a cruise over the summer. his money is currently in the local bank modeled by the function
steposvetlana [31]

In the scenario above,  James can we create a function to combine the two by   f ( x ) = 8 x + 118.

<h3>What is the simplification about?</h3>

In the question above, to be able to create a function, we have to show that;

s ( x ) = 102  

a ( x ) = 8 ( x + 2 )

So, a function that combines the two will be:

f ( x ) = s ( x ) + a ( x ) = 102 + 8 ( x + 2 ) =

= 102 + 8 x + 16

Therefore    f ( x ) = 8 x + 118

The x value l’s in quadrant II are always
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The value of x in the 2nd quadrant is always negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

There form four zones in the coordinate plane by placing the coordinate axes i.e. X-axis and Y-axis. The top right zone is called the 1st quadrant and 2nd, 3rd and 4th quadrants are the zones obtained by rotating in anticlockwise about the origin.

Since the 2nd quadrant is placed at the top left zone, so, we have to move in the negative x-direction along or parallel to the X-axis and to move in the positive y-direction along or parallel to the Y-axis.

Therefore, the value of x in the 2nd quadrant is always negative.
