What value of c makes the trinomial below a perfect square x2 + 7x + c?

2 answers:

5 0

We have that
x² + 7x + c
Group terms that contain the same variable
(x² + 7x )+ c
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation
(x² + 7x+3.5² )+ c-3.5²

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+3.5)²+ c-3.5²
so
c-3.5² must be zero
c-3.5²=0------- c=3.5²------> c=12.25

the answer is
the value of c must be 12.25

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the linear function represented by the table? x y –6 –18 –1 –8 4 2 9 12 y = nega

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

y = 2 x minus 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,-18) and (-1,-8)

Slope: (-8 - -18)/(-1 - -6)

10/5

y = 2x + c

-8 = 2(-1) + c

-8 = -2 + c

c = -6

y = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 4
