1. your leading coefficient has to be 1 (nothing before the x^2). If there is you have to divide that out before you start.
2. Move your constant (the number without any x attached) to the other side of the equation
3. take 1/2 of the b term (the one with the x attached) and then square it and then add it to both sides
4. Factor the left side
5. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve

Here is an example:

4x^2-24x+20=0
The first term is not a 1 so we have to divide it out by 4 first
x^2-6x+5=0
Move the 5 to the other side.  It becomes negative.
x^2-6x=-5
Take 1/2 of 6 (3) then square it (9) and add it to both sides.
x^2-6x+9=-5+9
Factor the left side
(x-3)(x-3)=4
(x-3)^2=4
To solve you need to square root both sides
x-3=+/-
x-3=+/-2
x=3+2=5
x=3-2=1
Those would be your two answers.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for the area of something is 1/2 * base * height

So we multiply 1/2 * 8 * 2 for The first triangle and get 8

Repeat for the other 3:

1/2* 2*2 = 2

8+8+2+2 = 20

* there are 4 triangles but I only needed to do the formula for two of them because they have identical triangles.

I hope this helps :)

Proof: sin(x) + cos(x) = √2sin(x + π/4)
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Hello : 
sin(x) + cos(x) = √2(1/√2 sin(x) +1/√2 cos(x))
but : 1/√2 = cos(π/4) =   sin(<span> π/4)
</span>sin(x) + cos(x) = √2( cos(π/4)sin(x) + sin( π/4) cos(x)) =√2<span>sin(x + π/4)
</span>because : cos(π/4)sin(x) + sin( π/4) cos(x)=sin(x + π/4) by identity :
sin(a+b) = sina cosb +cosa sinb

What is the following simplified product? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 2 StartRoot 8 x cubed EndRoot (3 StartRoot 10 x Su
dalvyx [7]

The simplified expression of 2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) is 24x³√5x  - 4x³√10x

<h3>How to determine the simplified product?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached figure, the product expression is:

2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²)

Evaluate the exponents

2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) =  2 *2x√2x(3x²√10 - x²√5)

Evaluate the products

2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) =  4x√2x(3x²√10 - x²√5)

Open the bracket

2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) =  12x³√20x  - 4x³√10x

Evaluate the exponents

2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) = 24x³√5x  - 4x³√10x

Hence, the simplified expression of 2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) is 24x³√5x  - 4x³√10x
