Answer:

D = -4

E = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedure for completing the square method is given as:

x2 + bx + c = 0

x2 + bx = -c

x2 + bx + (b/2)2 = -c + (b/2)2

Aolving the LHS simultaneously,

(x + b)2 = -c + (b/2)2

Find the square root of both sides,

(x + b) = sqrt(-c + (b/2)2)

So for the equation, x2 - 8x + 12

x2 - 8x = -12

x2 - 8x + 16 = -12 + 16

(x - 4)2 = 4

So square root both sides,

(x - 4) = 2

Comparing this to the equation given,

(x - D) = E;

D = -4

E = 2

Some carpet cleaning costs are shown in the table. The relationship is linear. Find and interpret the rate of change
Artemon [7]
Y = m x + b , where m is the slope. The slope is the rise over the run or the change in x ( rooms cleaned ) over the change in y ( cost ).
125 = m * 1 + b
175 = m * 2 + b
-----------------------
b = 125 - m
175 = 2 m + 125 - m
m = 175 - 125
m = 50 ( the rate of change ),  b = 75
The formula is:  y = 50 x + 75
It means that the starting cost will be $75 and that for every room cleaned, the cost will rise for $50.
