It’s phrased very weird, but I believe I have it figured out.

On the map, there distance of the race is 41.9 inches.

So, (41.9)(400) = 16760 feet

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following

skelet666 [1.2K]

For this case we have the following expression:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10 = 4x + 10$

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10-4x = 4x + 10-4x\\x ^ 2-8x + 10 = 10$

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-8x + 10-10 = 10-10\\x ^ 2-8x = 0$

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ , if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c-c = -c\\ax ^ 2 + bx = -c$

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation: $(\frac{b}{2})^{2}$

So, we have left:

$ax^2+bx + (\frac {b} {2})^{2} = - c + (\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2}$

In the given expression we have:

$a = 1\\b = -8\\c = 0$

And to complete the square we have:

$(\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2} = (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ {2} = 16$

Rewriting we have:

$x ^ 2-8x + 16 = 16$

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

$-4-4 = -8\\-4 * -4 = 16$

So, we have:

$(x-4) (x-4) = 16\\(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares

$(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

Approximately how much more quickly (in mph) does a pilot traveling 400 mph and rising at an angle of 30o gain altitude versus a

REY [17]

We can find the height of the altitude by the ratio of sin. See my attachment.
sin of angle = side in front of the angle / hypotenuse
sin x = height/distance

If the two pilot is rising in an hour, then the first distance is 400 miles, the second distance is 300 miles.

Find the height of first pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/400 = sin 30°
height = sin 30° × 400
height = 1/2 × 400
height = 200

Find the height of second pilot
height/distance = sin x
height/300 = sin 40°
height = sin 40° × 300
height = 0.642 × 300
height = 192

So the first pilot traveling 400 mph with 30° is more quickly to reach high altitude than the second pilot traveling 300 mph with 40°
