Rodrigo needs to solve the equation x2 – 4x – 18 = 0 by completing the square. Which pair of steps is the most efficient way to

begin?
A. x2 – 4x = 18
x2 – 4x + 2 = 18 + 2

B.x2 – 4x = 18
x2 – 4x + 4 = 18 + 4

C.x2 – 4x = 18
x2 – 4x + 81 = 18 + 81


D.x2 – 4x = 18

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.

Now I feel guilty and sleezy.  Giving answers alone without explanations
is something I almost never do, because it doesn't help anybody do
anything but cheat.  But it's all I have time for right now.  If a mod comes
along and decides to delete this because of no explanations, then let him
delete it.  It'll serve us right, you and me both.

Each of the walls of a room with square dimensions has been built with two pieces of sheetrock, a smaller one and a larger one.
azamat
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 -  The<span> room has square dimensions and it has been built with two pieces of sheetrock, a smaller one and a larger one.

 2. Therefore, let's call

 x: the smaller one.
 y: the larger one.

 3. Then, you have that the lenght of the wall is the sum of the smaller one and the larger one:

 x+y

 4. So, the area of the room is:

 (x+y)(x+y)
 (x+y)</span>²

 Therefore, the answer is: (x+y)²
