f(x)= x^2 -6x +21

0 =x^2-6x+21

subtract 21 from each side to prepare for completing the square

-21 = x^2 -6x

completing the square (b/2)^2

(-6/2) ^ =3^2 = 9

add 9 to each side

-21 +9 = x^2 - 6x + 9

-21 +9 =(x-3) ^2

-12 = (x-3)^2

take the square root of each side

+- sqrt(-12) = x-3

add 3 to each side, take out the negative inside the square root

3 +- i sqrt(12)=x

simplify the square root  sqrt(12)= sqrt(4)sqrt(3) =2sqrt(3)

3 +- i 2sqrt (3) = x

Answer: 3+2isqrt(3)

            3-2isqrt(3)

If a pizza cost $10 but you pay $6 how late was the pizza if you get a .25 discount for each 30 minutes its late. Write algebra
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pizza house will pay 10 - 6 = 4 dollars in late charges.  Each hour costs them 1 dollar. (0.25 per 1/2 hour 0.50 dollars for 1 hour.)

So 1 hour gives a reduction of 0.50 dollars.

   x hours gives a reduction of 4 dollars.

0.50 x = 4.00 dollars.

x = 4/0.50

x = 8 hours.

If they keep that up, they will be out of business before too long.
