Answer:

x²+8x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square of the incomplete given equation means finding a constant that will complete the equation such that when it is factorised will give a perfect square.

To complete the equation x²+18x, we must find a constant to complete the quadratic equation. To get that constant, we will divide the coefficient of x by 2 and the square the resulting value as shown;

Step 1: First we get the coefficient of x in the equation which is 8.

Step 2: You will divide the coefficient of x by 2 to give;

8/2 = 4

Step 3: The square of the resulting value in the previous step is taken to get the constant needed i.e 4² which is 16

The complete form of the equation is therefore x²+8x+16

Factorizing the resulting equation will give (x+4)² which is a perfect square

Answer:

x^2 + 18x + 81 complete's the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = [x^2 + 18x + (18/2)^2 ] - (18/2)^2

y = [x^2 + 18x + 81] - 81

y = (x + 9)^2 - 81 This is just to make the completion of the square accurate.

You can't just add something to an expression. You have to balance it out.

Draw a graph of Lin's distance of a function of time for this situation:
Pavlova-9 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lin walks half a mile at a constant rate i.e. Lin velocity is constant. So, in the graph, it will be a straight line through the origin.

Lin is still for five minutes and after she began sprinting for the slip up to halfway i.e. Lin is accelerating or velocity is increasing for the halfway and later she started walking for the rest of the way.

How do you factor this equation?<br> 7x²+5x-3
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic expression.  Use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then once you have the roots, write the corresponding factors.

The coefficients of this quadratic expression are a = 7, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 5^ - 4(7)(-3), or 25 + 84 = 109.  Because this is positive, we know that the expression has two unequal, real roots.

Using the quadratic formula, we now find these roots:

      -b ± √(discriminant)

x = --------------------------------   which here is:

                   2a

      -5 ± √109

x = -----------------

             14

The factors can be found from these two roots.  The first one is

      -5 - √109                  5 + √109

(x - ---------------- )  =  (x + ---------------- )

             14                              14

and the second is

        5 - √109              

(x + ---------------- )  

             14

If numerous large random samples or repetitions of the same size are taken from a population, the frequency curve made from prop
Evgen [1.6K]

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the shape of the frequency curve will be approximately normal.

<h3>What does the Central Limit Theorem state?</h3>

It states that for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}, as long as np \geq 10 and n(1 - p) \geq 10.

Hence, the shape of the frequency curve will be approximately normal.
