Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
The probability that all three are blue it's 3:14
Answer:
3x³ + x² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3(x squared plus 3x cubed - 2)
x squared = x²
3x cubed = 3x³
3(x squared plus 3x cubed - 2)
= 3(x² + 3x³ - 2)
= 3x² + 9x³ - 6
Rearrange according to power
= 9x³ + 3x² - 6
When the expression is divided by 3, it is equivalent to
3x³ + x² - 2
