Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
The straight line ON has the following equation :
(x - 18)/(x - 0) = (y - 12)/(y - 0)
Where (18,12) are coordinates of N and (0,0) are coordinates of O.
x - 18/x = y - 12/y
-18y = - 12x
y =12x/18 - - - - - (a)
The coordinates satisfy equation (a) are (7.5, 5)
Therefore D is the correct answer.
Good luck
Answer:
Square. If the middle is 90° then all of them have to be.
7 hours and 20 min, hope this helps mark me the brainliest
Y-intercept: Let x = 0. Result: 5x=0, and x= 0. y-intercept is (0,0).
Similarly, x-int. is (0,0) (after going thru the same procedure: set y=0 and find x)
