Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. We calculate as follows:

3.9 / 1.3 = 9.6 / b
b = 9.6 x 1.3 / 3.9
b = 3.2

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following

skelet666 [1.2K]

For this case we have the following expression:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10 = 4x + 10$

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10-4x = 4x + 10-4x\\x ^ 2-8x + 10 = 10$

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-8x + 10-10 = 10-10\\x ^ 2-8x = 0$

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ , if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c-c = -c\\ax ^ 2 + bx = -c$

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation: $(\frac{b}{2})^{2}$

So, we have left:

$ax^2+bx + (\frac {b} {2})^{2} = - c + (\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2}$

In the given expression we have:

$a = 1\\b = -8\\c = 0$

And to complete the square we have:

$(\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2} = (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ {2} = 16$

Rewriting we have:

$x ^ 2-8x + 16 = 16$

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

$-4-4 = -8\\-4 * -4 = 16$

So, we have:

$(x-4) (x-4) = 16\\(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares

$(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

The low temperatures for one week in Scottsburg, IN are given below. What was the mean daily low temperature for the week? −7.9°

gogolik [260]

Your answer: -0.8

first you would add all of your temperatures together which would give you -5.6

then you would divide -5.6 by 7 because u have 7 numbers

which would give you your answer!

hope this helps, good luck!
