Answer:

B.x2-4x=18

x2-4x+4=18+4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you complete the square your quadratic equation must be written in the standard form which is ax^2+bx+c.

First you are going to want to move your c term to the right (in this case move -18 to the right by adding 18 to both sides). This will get you x^2-4x=18. Now you are going to need to complete the square. To complete the square you divide the number in the bx term (in this case -4) by 2 and then square it. (-2^2=4 since a negative times a negative equals a positive). Now that you have 4 you are going to add it to both sides to get x2-4x+4=18+4.

A soccer ball is kicked and travels 25 meters to the north in 2.5 seconds. At what velocity is the ball traveling?
algol [13]
It would be 10m.
If you divide 25 by 2.5 you get 10, and since we’re using velocity, that’s what we would do.

Estimate the percent of each number. 47% of 77
Anettt [7]

ANSWER

36 .19

EXPLANATION

We want to estimate

47\% \: of \: 77

This is the same as

\frac{47}{100}  \times 77

or

\frac{47}{100} \times  \frac{77}{1}

We multiply the numerators to get,

\frac{3619}{100}

We convert to decimals to get

36.19
