Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve (x+a)^2 and replace the result in the initial equation as:

x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of x is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75

AYUDA CON ESTO!!! ALGUIEN PORFAVOR
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Problem 1)  frequency:  160 heartbeats per minute, period= 0.00625 minutes (or 0.375 seconds)

Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period

Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.

The period is (using the equation you showed above):

Period = \frac{1}{frequency} = \frac{1}{160} \,minutes= 0.00625\,\,minutes = 0.375\,\,seconds

second problem:

Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:

\frac{200}{60} = \frac{10}{3} \approx  3.33   loops per minute

then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)

the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:

\frac{200}{65} = \frac{40}{13} \approx  3.08   loops per minute

then the period is:

\frac{13}{40} =0.325\,\,\,minutes

Therefore runner B has the smaller period
