Answer:
A. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² − 12x + 7
To complete the square, we first factor the leading coefficient to make it 1 (which it already is).
Then, we take half the second coefficient, square it, and then add to both sides. So (-12/2)² = (-6)² = 36.
f(x) + 36 = x² − 12x + 36 + 7
Then we factor the perfect square:
f(x) + 36 = (x − 6)² + 7
Then solve for f(x) by subtracting and simplifying:
f(x) = (x − 6)² + 7 − 36
f(x) = (x − 6)² − 29
So the value of a is 6.
Answer:
Average rate of car: x+3
Walking rate: x
The equation is
10/15 = x/x+3
So
x = 6
So
Average rate of car: 9 mph
Walking rate: 6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: its b because once u simplify everything it amounts to b
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 2x + 9 = 2x -5
9 ≠ -5 ; No solution
2) 2x- 1 = x + 3
x = 4; One solution x = 4
3) x + 2 = x + 2
0 = 0; Identity (or all real numbers)
