Divide 15 by 2, then square the amount.

(15/2)^2 = 225/4

Answer:  The correct option is (D) \dfrac{225}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are give to find the value of c so that the following expression becomes a perfect square.

y=x^2+15x+c~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We have

y\\\\=x^2+15x+c\\\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times \dfrac{15}{2}+c\\\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times \dfrac{15}{2}+\left(\dfrac{15}{2}\right)^2+c-\left(\dfrac{15}{2}\right)^2\\\\\\=(x+\dfrac{15}{2})^2+c-\dfrac{225}{4}.

So, for the given function (i) to be a perfect square, we must have

c-\dfrac{225}{4}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{225}{4}.

Thus, the required value of c is \dfrac{225}{4}.

Option (D) is correct.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(−1 , 2), B(4, 2), and C(3, −1). Classify the triangle according to the side lengths.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

B) Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has vertices at A(-1,2), B(4,2) and C(3,-1).

We must first determine the length of the sides of the triangle, before we can classify it.

We apply the distance formula to find length of the sides.

|AB|=\sqrt{(4--1)^2+(2-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(2-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{5^2+(0)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{25}

\Rightarrow |AB|=5 units.

The length of side BC

|BC|=\sqrt{(3-4)^2+(-1-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-3)^2}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{1+9}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{10}

The length of side AC

|AC|=\sqrt{(3--1)^2+(-1-2)^2}

We simplify to obtain;

|AC|=\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(-3)^2}

\Rightarrow |AC|=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}

|AC|=\sqrt{16+9}

|AC|=\sqrt{25}

|AC|=5\:units

Since |AC|=5\:units=|AB|, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

The correct answer is
