Equivalent ratio means equal in value
18:4 = 9:2 = 36:8
The temperature at 9 am was -11 degrees.
We know that at 5 am, it was -7 degrees. Since the change of temperature is a negative number, then we subtract the absolute value of the change from -7. -7 - 3 = -10. Following this pattern, we then have:
-10 - 2 = -12 (6 am - 7 am)
-12 - 5 = -17 (7 am - 8 am)
-17 + 6 = -11 (8 am - 9 am, added since it was a positive change of temperature)
And our final answer is -11 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x
x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are
and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12
Area = side * side
Area of the square = 6 1/9 * 6/1/9
= 36 1/81
