Complete the square for 5x^2+10x-16. first one to answer gets brainiest

Mathematics

Answer: x= -1 <u>+</u> √(21/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be written as 5x^2+10x-16=0

keep the x terms on one side and constant on another side

5x^2+ 10x = 16.

Now, to make a complete square like (x+a)^2 = x^2+2xa+a^2.

Divide the given equation by 5 on both sides,

The equation now becomes x^2+2x = 16/5.

The middle term is 2xa=2x

By solving for term "a" in above equation, a= 1

The entire equation of complete square should be x^2+2x+1, which is equal to (x+1)^2

Here, in the equation given in question, +1 is missing to make a complete square.

In order to add 1 we have to simultaneously minus 1 to keep the values in the equation unchanged.

Thus, x^2+2x+1-1 =16/5.

Again moving the constant -1 to other side, we have

x^2+2x+1 =16/5+1

After simplification,

(x+1)^2= 21/5

Taking square root on both sides,

(x+1)= <u>+</u> √(21/5)

The answer is x= -1 <u>+</u> √(21/5)

Can someone help me find the volume of this?
GalinKa [24]
To find the volume of any cube you need to know the length, width and height. The formula to find the volume multiplies the length by the width by the height. The good news for a cube is that the measure of each of these dimensions is exactly the same. Therefore, you can multiply the length of any side three times.

The table shows a function. Is the function linear or nonlinear?
Umnica [9.8K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  nonlinear

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function is linear, evenly-spaced x-values will correspond to evenly-spaced y-values.

Here, the x-values all differ by 1. The y-values differ by 2 and 6, so the function is nonlinear.

Shaun loves to play golf. He wants to become a member at a golf course but is unsure which one
vazorg [7]

Answer:

  • Equation: (650 + 20) < (450 + 25)
  • Sentence to answer with: Cardinal Gold Club is the better golf couse because it is cheaper when we compare to total of both prices altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why this club is better is because in Red Crest the fee is 650 and the charges per round is 20 so we add 650 + 20 to get the total of 670. Now we have to find the total of the Cardinal Golf Club and to do that we have to add their fee of 450 + the charges for each round which is 25 and 450 + 25 equals to 475. Lastly we have to compare to find the less/cheaper one ehich is Cardinal.

Im avalible on Mondays to Thursday from 8:00 A.M to 4:00 P.M.
