First, use the "completing the square" process to write this equation in the form (x + D)² = E. x² - 8 x + 12 = 0 is equivalent

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

Complete the square f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 8 <br><br><br> PLZ help me ;c
Semenov [28]
Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x

x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are

and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12

Solve the equation . (-2 1/7)p=-3
34kurt

Answer:

p = \frac{7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

change the mixed number to an improper fraction

- 2 \frac{1}{7} = - \frac{15}{7}, hence

- \frac{15}{7} p = - 3 ( multiply both sides by 7 )

- 15p = - 21 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

p = \frac{-21}{-15} = \frac{7}{5}

Help please not sure of this one
shutvik [7]

Answer:

True, A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sum two different sides of a traingle it must be greater than the remaining one

We can test that by adding the two smallest sides

1+8=9

9 is obviously greater than 8, so the answer is: true
