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.

12x - 84 = 4x + 12. What does X equal?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, you have to leave the x alone,

To do so, you have to add 84 on each side

12x = 4x + 96

Then, subtract 4x on each side,

8x = 96

Then divide each side by 8, so

x = 12

Hope it helps!!

Let me know if I'm wrong or you need help on anything else!!
