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

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)

Paul travel to the lake and back. The trip took 3 hours and the trip back took 4 hours He averaged 10 mph faster on the trip the
ollegr [7]

Answer:

  40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume "outbound" refers to the trip <em>to the lake</em>. The ratio of speeds is inversely proportional to the ratio of times, so ...

  outbound speed : inbound speed = 4 : 3

These differ by one ratio unit, so that one ratio unit corresponds to the speed difference of 10 mph. Then the 4 ratio units of outbound speed will correspond to ...

  4×10 mph = 40 mph

Paul's average speed on the outbound trip was 40 mph.

___

The distance to the lake was 120 mi.

Using rectangles whose height is given by the value of the function at the midpoint of the​ rectangle's base, estimate the area
LuckyWell [14K]
What it means is, check the picture below.

so, the first part shows two rectangles... the rectangle goes from 1.0 to 1.6, so it has a width of 0.6.

and the height comes from the middle point, or 1.3 is f(1.3) = (1.3)² or 1.69.

so you get the area of the first rectangle, 0.6 * 1.69

and then you do the same for the second rectangle, it goes from 1.6 to 2.0, so is of width 0.4, and its height comes from the middle 1.8 point, is f(1.8) = (1.8)²,  or 3.24.

so its area is 0.6 * 3.24

then you add the areas of the rectangles to approximate the area under the parabola.

so, you'd do the same for the other part of the picture with the four rectangles.

the first rectangle of the four for example, has a width of 0.2 and a height of f(1.1) = (1.1)² or 1.21.
