Could you explain a bit more please
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
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
15 divided by 3 is 5
so each pound is 5 dollars.
now do 5 times 8
that gives you 40
the big bag is 40 dollars
Answer:
7r³ - 3r² + 20r
Step-by-step explanation:
(9r³ + 5r² + 11r) + (-2r³ + 9r - 8r²)
You can get rid of the parentheses since there is nothing to distribute.
9r³ + 5r² + 11r - 2r³ + 9r - 8r²
Combine like factors.
7r³ - 3r² + 20r
Answer:
5+4+7
