Answer:

a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side of the identity, then compare the coefficients of like terms with those on the left side.

a(x - p)² + q ← expand (x - p)² using FOIL

= a(x² - 2px + p²) + q  ← distribute parenthesis

= ax² - 2apx + ap² + q

Compare coefficients of x² term

a = 4

Compare coefficients of x- term

- 2ap = - 16, that is

- 2(4)p = - 16

- 8p = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

p = 2

Compare constant terms

ap² + q = 15 , that is

4(2)² + q = 15

16 + q = 15 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

q = - 1

Thus a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1

Can someone help me with the attached file, please? Order what is in the file from least-to-greatest, with explanations, please.

I would start by converting everything into decimal, as it makes it a LOT easier to understand. So, you should be able use a calculator to convert the square roots and fractions into decimal. Let's start. Square root 12 is equivalent to 3.46 (to 2 decimal places) Square root 9 is 3 (you should know that because 3 × 3 = 9) 12 is already in decimal so it's just 12 3.56, 4.03 and 4.2 are also in decimal so you leave them Square root 17 is 4.12 (to 2 decimal places) Square root 2 is 1.41 (also 2 decimal places) 1/2 is the same as 0.5 (once again, you should know that) And 3/2 is the same as 3 ÷ 2, which is 1.5. So in order of least to greatest, it's: 1/2, square root of 2, 3/2, square root of 9, square root of 12, 3.56, 4.03, square root of 17. 4.2 and finally 12. Hope this helps :)
