Solve using completing the square x^2 – 8x + 16 = 25

Mathematics

lisov135 [29]3 years ago

First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.

(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25

Now we simplify to show it as a square.

(x - 4)^2 = 25

Next we take the square root of both sides

x - 4 = +/- 5

Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides

x = 4 +/- 5

4 + 5 = 9

4 - 5 = -1

Z varies jointly with x and y. when x=2 and y=3, z=60. what is the value of z when x=4 and y=9?
laiz [17]
<span>Z $ xy then Z = Kxy. When x = 2 and y = 3, and Z = 60, our constant of variation becomes 60 = K * 2 * 3 K = 10. Our constant of proportionality equals 10. We would need that in the second part of the equation. When x = 4 and y = 9, we have Z = 10 * 4 * 9 = 360</span>

PLEASE HELP! I will give you the brainiest and A LOT of points! (Ch.5.3)
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Multiplier = 1.75x (7/4).

7/8 cups butter, 4 and 3/8 ounces chocolate, 1 and 3/4 cups sugar, 7/8 teaspoons vanilla, 3 and 1/2 eggs (4 if rounded!), 1 and 5/16 cups flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ingredient list is for 16 brownies, but you need to make 28. This means you have to make 1.75x the amount (28/16), so all ingredient quantities need to be multiplied by 7/4 (1.75 in fraction form).

Butter: 1/2 * 7/4 = 7/8 cups

Chocolate: 5/2 * 7/4 = 4 and 3/8 ounces

Sugar: 1 * 7/4 = 1 and 3/4 cups

Vanilla: 1/2 * 7/4 = 7/8 teaspoons

Eggs: 2 * 7/4 = 3 and 1/2 eggs (if rounded, 4, as 3.5 rounds up)

Flour: 3/4 * 7/4 = 1 and 5/16 cups
