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

Mathematics

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

How much grain can this container hold?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

953.78 in^3 of grain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder = π r^2 h.

For this cylinder r =  radius of the base = 9/2

= 4.5 in  and the height h = 15 in

So the volume is 3.14 * 4.5^2 * 15

= 953.78 in^3.

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2
n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y =      4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x =  - 1

y =      4

Divide the first equation by (-1)    

x =  1

y =  4

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 4   {or: (1, 4)}</h3>

Answer:

y = m x + b      standard form of equation for straight line\

        m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (20 - -8) / 17 - 1) = 28 / 16

        m = 7 / 4
