Answer:
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.
x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.
Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.
y = x^2 - 6x - 8
y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
The math I used is probably not the quickest way, but for me, the easiest.
25*5=125 25+20=45 45*7=315 125+315=440 25*4=100 440+100=540 5+7+4=16
B is your answer.
Let's verify by substituting 1 to x.
2 - 8x = -6
2 - 8(1) = -6
2 - 8 = -6
-6 = -6
It is equal, therefore x = 1 is the solution.
Answer:
The expression is 20 - 50/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have the quotient of 50 and 5.
This is written as:
50/5
And we know that this is equal to 10, but let's leave it as 50/5 for now.
Now we subtract this FROM 20, then we have the number 20, and we subtract 50/5 from it, this is written as:
20 - 50/5
Now we can also solve this:
20 - 50/5 = 20 - 10 = 10
The answer is d (180-95) 85+60=145 180-145= 35
