Answer:

Answer b. \frac{225}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get a perfect square trinomial from a binomial of the form: x^2 +bx. the term to add should be the square of half of the coeficcient "b". That is: (\frac{b}{2} )^2. Such will give you a trinomial that comes from the perfect square of the binomial: (x+\frac{b}{2})^2=x^2+bx+(\frac{b}{2}  )^2

In your case, b=15 therefore (\frac{b}{2} )^2=(\frac{15}{2} )^2=\frac{225}{4}

<u>Answer:</u>

Option C. The constant is \frac{225}{4}

<u>Solution: </u>

Let us assume that the constant is c.

Now to the equation will be x^{2}+15 x+c-------- (i)

We know the square formula  (a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2 a b+b^{2}

As per the formula we can write the equation as,

x^{2}+15 x+c

=x^{2}+2 \times x \times\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)+c

Now if we need make the equation perfect square,

Then as per the formula c should be \left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{225}{4}

And the equation will be the perfect square as \left(x+\frac{15}{2}\right)^{2}

So, the constant is \frac{225}{4}

Identify the equations as parallel lines, perpendicular lines, or neither.
Alex

Answer:

B. Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1 simplified:   y = 3x+7

Equation 2 simplified: y = -x/3-3

The slopes are completely different, ruling out the possibility of the lines being parallel.

But we also see the slopes of the equations are opposite and negative to each other. Making the lines perpendicular.

According to ​Lambert's law​, the intensity of light from a single source on a flat surface at point P is given by Upper L equal
malfutka [58]

Answer:

(a) L = k*(1 - sin^{2}(\theta))        

(b) L reaches its maximum value when θ = 0 because cos²(0) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lambert's Law is given by:

L = k*cos^{2}(\theta)   (1)

(a) We can rewrite the above equation in terms of sine function using the following trigonometric identity:

cos^{2}(\theta) + sin^{2}(\theta) = 1

cos^{2}(\theta) = 1 - sin^{2}(\theta)  (2)

By entering equation (2) into equation (1) we have the equation in terms of the sine function:

L = k*(1 - sin^{2}(\theta))        

(b) When θ = 0, we have:

L = k*cos^{2}(\theta) = k*cos^{2}(0) = k  

We know that cos(θ) is a trigonometric function, between 1 and -1 and reaches its maximun values at nπ, when n = 0,1,2,3...

Hence, L reaches its maximum value when θ = 0 because cos²(0) = 1.

I hope it helps you!
