Find the values of a and b such that x^2-4x+9=(x+a)^2+b

Mathematics

m_a_m_a [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a = -2

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can identify the right side of the equation as completing the square. So, we simply complete the square for x² - 4x + 9 to find our answer,

Step 1: Isolate xs

x² - 4x = -9

Step 2: Complete the square

x² - 4x + 4 = -9 + 4

(x - 2)² = -5

Step 3: Move -5 over

(x - 2)² + 5

And we have our answer!

How old am I if 500 reduced by 2 times my age is 388
Nimfa-mama [501]
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age

500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388

500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56

you are 56

Please can somebody find the gradient and the coordinates of the y-intercept for the graph:
-Dominant- [34]
The equation is already is slope intercept form where you can easily point out the gradient, or the slope, and the y intercept.
y=mx+b where m is the gradient, and b is the y intercept. 
Since there is no m, the gradient is 1.
The y intercept had x=0 and y=b
b in this case is 6 
the y intercept= (0,6)
