Complete the square x^2-10=16​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(x - 5)² = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the completing square form

- the form x² ± bx + c is a completing square if it can be put in the form

 (x ± h)² , where b = 2h and c = h²

# The completing square is x² ± bx + c = (x ± h)²

# Remember c must be positive because it is = h²

* Lets use this form to solve the problem

∵ x² - 10x = 16

- Lets equate 2h by -10

∵ 2h = -10 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ h = -5

∴ h² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c = h²

∴ c = 25

- The completing square is x² - 10x + 25

∵ The equation is x² - 10x = 16

- We will add 25 and subtract 25 to the equation to make the

 completing square without change the terms of the equation

∴ x² - 10x + 25 - 25 = 16

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) - 25 = 16 ⇒ add 25 to both sides

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) = 41

* Use the rule of the completing square above

- Let (x² - 10x + 25) = (x - 5)²

∴ (x - 5)² = 41

The perimeter of rectangle is 48 cm. Find the sides of the rectangle if one of the sides is 12 cm longer than the other.
muminat

Answer:

Width is 4cm, length is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the problem as an equation.

(x+12)*(x)=48

Where x is the length of the shorter side.

Solve.

(x^2)+12x=48

x=4

Solve for n:<br> (n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2
nalin [4]

Answer:

n=11

Step-by-step explanation:

(n+4)/10 = (n-8)/2

We can solve using cross products

(n+4) * 2 = 10 * ( n-8)

Distribute

2n+8 = 10n -80

Subtract 2n from each side

2n+8-2n = 10n-80-2n

8 = 8n-80

Add 80 to each side

8+80= 8n-80+80

88 = 8n

Divide each side by 8

88/8 = 8n/8

11 = n

2.10 Guessing on an exam: In a multiple choice exam, there are 6 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Nancy h
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

a) p = (3/4)^5 *(1/4) =0.0593

b) P(X=6) = (6C6) (0.25)^6 (1-0.25)^{6-6}= 0.000244

c) P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule like this:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

P(X=0) = (6C0) (0.25)^0 (1-0.25)^{6-0}= 0.17798

And replacing we have:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: P(A)+P(A') =1

We can model the number of correct questions answered with a binomial distribution X \sim Binom(n = 6, p = 1/4=0.25)

Solution to the problem

Assuming the following questions:

a) the first question she gets right is the 6th question?  

For this case we want the first 5 questions incorrect and the last one correct, assuming independence we have:

p = (3/4)^5 *(1/4) =0.0593

(b) she gets all of the questions right?

For this case we want all the questions right so then we want this:

P(X=6) = (6C6) (0.25)^6 (1-0.25)^{6-6}= 0.000244

(c) she gets at least one question right?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule like this:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

P(X=0) = (6C0) (0.25)^0 (1-0.25)^{6-0}= 0.17798

And replacing we have:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X
