Komok [63]

After 2 hours she wrote 3 entries.
after 4 hours she wrote 6 entries.
This means that for same period she is writing same number of entries which means her "writing speed" is constant.
that means that graph is linear function (straight line).

slope we calculate by putting coordinates of y and x of any dot on that line. we can use one of those given by text of task. (in 2 hours she wrote 3 entries)
y = k*x
k = y/x
k = 1.5

What number must you add to complete the square?<br> x^2 + 2x = -1

Andru [333]

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{You must add 1 to complete the square.}\\\\ \textsf{There is a very common special product: (square of a sum)}\\\\ \mathsf{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}\\\\\\ \textsf{Take the given equation:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2x=-1\qquad(i)}\\\\\\ \textsf{The first term is a square (x squared)}\\\\ \textsf{The second term is a product of 2, x and 1.} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{We need to find a proper value for b, so that if we add it to}\\\textsf{the left side of the equation, we get a perfect square.}\\\\ \textsf{So,}\\\\ \begin{array}{cccccccccc} \mathsf{a^2}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{2}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{a}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{b}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{b^2}&=\mathsf{(a+b)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{\downarrow}&&&\!\!\!\!\!&\downarrow&\!\!\!\!\!&\downarrow&&\downarrow\\\\ \mathsf{x^2}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{2}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{x}&\!\!\!\cdot\!\!\!&\mathsf{1}&\!\!\!+\!\!\!&\mathsf{1^2}&=\mathsf{(x+1)^2} \end{array}\\\\\\ \textsf{Just by comparing the expressions above, we can conclude that}\\\textsf{b must be equal to 1, so we get a perfect square:}\\\\ \mathsf{(x+1)^2=x^2+2x+1} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{Back to (i), adding 1 to both sides:}\\\\ \mathsf{x^2+2x+1=-1+1}\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{c} \mathsf{(x+1)^2=0} \end{array}} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l}\\\\\\ \textsf{If you want to solve this equation for x, you will find}\\\\ \mathsf{x+1=0}\\\\ \mathsf{x=-1}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{(solution)} \end{array}$
