Complete the square for x^2+12x-5.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x^2+12x-5=(x+6)^2-41

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is x^2+12x-5

Comparing to ax^2+bx+c, we have a=1,b=12,c=-5

We add and subtract (\frac{b}{2a})^2

x^2+12x+6^2-6^2-5

This implies that:

\boxed{x^2+6x+36}-36-5

The expression in the rectangle is a perfect square

(x+6)^2-41

Therefore x^2+12x-5=(x+6)^2-41

A parabola has a maximum value of 4 at x= -1, a y-intercept of 3, and an x-intercept of 1.
Scilla [17]

well none of the answer choices match up with all these statements ...

C. it only matches up with the y-intercept given

D. it matches with the y-intercept, and the x- intercept is not quite on the 1

*but i would say C is the closest, because it has an x-intercept of -1 and the maximum point is at (1,4) ... which are the same with the given statements except that they have opposite signs, but yeah i have no clue*

Are triangles DEF and LNM similar if LN equals 5 MN equals 3 DE equals 10 and FE equals 6
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

D.  Yes by SAS Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because if you flip triangle LNM around to shape the DEF.  Then you will see that:

1. angle D is congruent to angle L

2. angle E is congruent to angle N

3. angle F is congruent to angle M

4. angle E and N are both 90 degrees

Because (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) are similar and (E and N) are 90 degrees, then we do not need (FD and ML) to tell if triangle DEF and triangle LNM is similar or not. They are similar.

We next need to figure out if the triangles are similar by SSS (Side-side-side) Similarity Postulate or SAS (side-angle-side) Similarity Postulate.  The SAS Similarity Postulate states that if you have 2 similar sides and 1 congruent angle, then the two shapes are similar. Right now we have 2 similar sides in (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) and 1 congruent angle that are both 90 degrees. This follows all the rules of the SAS Similarity Postulate, so that means that these two triangles are similar by SAS Similarity Postulate.
