Answer:
2(x + 2)² - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 8x + 3
To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.
The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, thus factor 2 out of 2x² + 8x
= 2(x² + 4x) + 3
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 4x
= 2(x² + 2(2)x + 4 - 4) + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 8 + 3
= 2(x + 2)² - 5
with p = 2 and q = - 5
Written out that's 2x-7 is greater than or equal to 41. Add 7 to both sides to get 2x is greater than or equal to 48. Divide both sides by 2 to get that x is greater than or equal to 24.
A = D/BC. In order to isolate A, all you do is divide by BC
