let y = x^2
4y^2 -21y + 20 = 0
solve for y
then substitute back in to get x
Are a and b two points on a line
If they are you can use the distance formula
Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
When you look at the square of a binomial, you see ...
(x +a)^2 = x^2 +(2a)x +a^2
The constant value (a^2) is <em>the square of half the x-coefficient</em>.
(14/2)^2 = 49 . . . . the value to be added.
Adding 49 gives ...
x^2 +14x +49 = (x +7)^2
63 + 36...there is a common factor of 9
9(7 + 4) <== this is equivalent
63 + 36...there is a common factor of 3
3(21 + 12)...but this is not an answer choice...but it is equivalent
Answer:
47 and 49
Step-by-step explanation:
This would not be between two consecutive whole numbers. Any number from 47.5 and less than 48 would round up, and any number from 48 to less than 48.5 would round down. It might be consecutive odd numbers that you meant, or your question is not clear enough.
