What are the values that make x^2 + bx + 64 a perfect square?

Answer:

±16

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the square root of 64?  8.  But -8 is also a square root of 64.  Squaring either 8 or -8 results in ±16.

The following (the square of a binomial) is a "special product" or "perfect square."

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Compare this pattern to the given:  1 x^2 + bx + 64:

                                                            a^2 + 2ab + b^2

Here a = 1 and b^2 = 64.  Thus, b must be either +8 or -8.

Then the given expression becomes 1x^2 ± 16x + 64; that is:

b = ±16

Answer:

b = ±16

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally to find the number we add to make it a perfect square

We take the coefficient of x

b

Divide by 2

b/2

Then square it

(b/2) ^2

In this case, we are adding 64

(b/2) ^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((b/2) ^2) = sqrt(64)

b/2 = ±8

Multiply each side by 2

b/2*2 =  ±8 *2

b = ±16

I have 7 hundreds blocks, 5 tens blocks, and 8 ones blocks. I use my blocks to model two 3-digit numbers. What could my two numb
lawyer [7]
There 7 blocks of hundreds which means each such block is equivalent to 100.
There are 5 blocks of tens, which means each such block is equivalent to 10.
There are 8 blocks of ones, which means each such block is equivalent to 1.

The total of these blocks will be = 7(100) + 5(10) + 8(10) = 758

We can make several two 3-digit numbers from these blocks. An example is listed below:

Example:
Using 3 hundred block, 2 tens blocks and 4 ones block to make one number and remaining blocks to make the other number. The remaining blocks will be 4 hundred blocks, 3 tens blocks and 4 ones blocks
The two numbers we will make in this case are:

1st number = 3(100) + 2(10) + 4(1) = 324
2nd number = 4(100) + 3(10) + 4(1) = 434

The sum of these two numbers is  = 324 + 434 = 758
i.e. equal to the original sum of all blocks.

This way changing the number of blocks in each place value, different 3 digit numbers can be generated.
