So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19
I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..
So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.
4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0
for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)
Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.
Answer:
y=-2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
equation for slope is y=mx+b
the slope is -2 so that equals m
(0,3) is the y-intercept
y=b
3 is the y value making it substitute b making the equation y=-2x+3
Answer: 13/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Common denominator:12
9/12 plus 4/12 equals 13/12 equals 1 1/12
Answer:
B. translation, then reflection.
Step-by-step explanation:
translation means moving the shape without flipping or rotating it.
reflection means flipping it like in a mirror
You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 30 and one half miles30 1 2 miles on 1 and one fourth gallons1 1 4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 25 and three fifths miles25 3 5 miles on four fifths gallon 4 5 gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon1 gallon of gasoline?
Blue car: 30.5 / 1.25 =24.4 miles per gallon
Red car: 25.6/0.80 =32 miles per gallon
You can easily see that the Red car travel farther on 1 gallon of gasoline.
