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}

If you wish to calculate the interest on an investment with a rate of 6.17%, what number will you plug into your equation? a. 0.
sdas [7]
I think it’s answer B. Because % to decimal is 6.14% divided by 100 so the decimal would move to the left two places which in 0.0614

I now completely sure but I think that’s right

Select the correct function.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Check the picture below.

so let's use those two points the line passes through to get its slope.

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-12-0}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{-12}{2}\implies -6
