Use completing the square to solve (x – 12)(x + 4) = 9 for x. x = –1 or 15 x = 1 or 7

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9
x² + 4x - 12x - 48 = 9
x² - 8x - 48 = 9 |add 48 to both sides
x² - 8x = 57
x² - 2x · 4 = 57 |add 4² to both sides
x² - 2x · 4 + 4² = 57 + 4² |use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(x - 4)² = 57 + 16
(x - 4)² = 73 ⇔ x - 4 = √73 or x - 4 = -√73 |add 4 to both sides

x = 4 + √73 or x = 4 - √73

Convert the following numbers of calories or

kap26 [50]

Answer:

32.823 kJ
190.4 kJ
260.00 kJ
180.012 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor for food energy or thermochemical calorimetry* is ...

1 calorie = 4.184 J

1000 calorie = 4.184 kJ

a. 7845 cal = 7845·4.184 J = 32,823 J = 32.823 kJ

b. 4.55·10^4 cal = 4.55·10^4·4.184 J = 1.904·10^5 J = 190.4 kJ

c. 62.142 kcal = 62.142·4.184 kJ = 260.00 kJ

d. 43,024 cal = 43,024·4.184 J = 180,012 J = 180.012 kJ

_____

* The thermochemical calorie is defined in terms of the heat capacity of water. An international calorie of 4.1868 J is defined in terms of energy, without respect to the heat capacity of water.

Miquel created the table below to show how he uses the money he earns at work

lara [203]

Complete Question with table is attached

Answer:

Miguel will save money of $90 if he earns $120.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure attached clearly shows the ratio of his earnings and savings. We have to find what would be the savings amount if he earn $120.00. So, first we have to calculate the percentage of ratio of his earnings and savings. As per the data given in the figure,

If he earns $10.00, he saves $7.50, calculate %amount he saves as below,

$\frac{\$ 7.50}{\$ 10.00} \times 100=0.075 \times 100=75 \%$

Likewise, calculate for all given data. If he earns $50.00 then he saves $37.50

$\frac{\$ 37.50}{\$ 50.00} \times 100=0.75 \times 100=75 \%$

If he earns $150.00 and save $112.50,

$\frac{\$ 112.50}{\$ 150.00} \times 100=0.75 \times 100=75 \%$

So, from all above, it clearly tells that Miguel saves 75% of amount from his earnings. Now, given earnings as $120.00. By finding 75% of $120.00, we can find his savings in that amount. So,

$\frac{75}{100} \times \$ 120=0.75 \times 120=\$ 90$
