Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic is:

To complete the square, the a (leading coefficient) must be 1 and there can only be terms with variables on one side.
The expression given:

follows these rules. Next, we divide the b (linear coefficient) by 2, then square it. Basically:

The b in the expression is -18.


This is the number that is added.
Answer:
If you cube the numbers in the left column, you get the numbers in the right column! We can figure this out by understanding that 1^3 = 1, 3^3 = 27, and 6^3 = 216. Then it all falls into place!
1 -> 1
2 -> 8
3 -> 27
5 -> 125
6 -> 216
11 -> 1331
8 -> 512
10 -> 1000
7 -> 343
14 -> 2744
p -> 
-> q
legs of the triangles
Each triangle 30-60-90 is:
one leg: 15 ft => short diagonal = 2 * 15ft = 30ft
other leg, x:
tan(30) = 15 / x => x = 15 ft / tan(30) = 25.98 ft
=> long diagonal = 2 * 25.98ft = 51.96 ft
side of the rhoumbus = hypotenuse of one triangle
side of the rhombus = √ [ (15)^2 + (25.98)^2 ] = √(900) = 30 ft
Area of the rhombus:
4 * area of one triangle = 4 [base*height/2] = 4*15*25.98/2 = 779.43 ft^2
The shortest distance accross the garden is equal to the side of the rhombus = 30 ft
Ans(a):
Given function is 
we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0
so let's solve
x+4≠0 for x
x≠0-4
x≠-4
Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.
Ans(b):
We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)
so we get:
g(x)=f(x)+4

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.
Comparision:
Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).
Ans(c):
To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation




4x+16=3x-1
4x-3x=-1-16
x=-17
Hence final answer is x=-17
