X^2+10x+25= 24+25

(x+5)^2= 49

x+5= +-7 (plus or minus 7)

x= -7-5
x=-12

x=7-5
x=2

Final answer: x={-12, 2}

Good, the number in front of the x^2 term is 1
we can move to the next step

take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
10 is the linear coefient
10/2=5, (5)^2=25
add that to both sides

x²+10x+25=24+25
factor perfect square trionmial
(x+5)²=49
squaer root both sides
remember to take positive and negative roots
x+5=+/-7
minus 7 both sides
x=-5+/-7
x=-5+7 and -5-7
x=2 annd -12


the 2 soltuions are x=-12 and 2

What are the steps for adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators
Valentin [98]
Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P

1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

rule:  a b/c = (ac+b)/c

2)  make all fractions have a common denominator...

a/b+c/d

(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)

(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)

3)

The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...

One of Newton’s laws of motion states that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. What is the reason that this law may not al
Nastasia [14]

The answer is D.

The full specification of Newton's First Law is (from Wikipedia)

In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

On earth we're generally in slightly a non-inertial frame, with rotation and revolution around the sun. It's also impossible to turn of gravity, so objects are being acted upon by an outside force. Typically there's also the outside force of friction, which makes things tend to stop.

What is the reciprocal of 8 8/5 ?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

\frac{5}{48}

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number n is \frac{1}{n}

Given 8 \frac{8}{5}, change to an improper fraction

= \frac{5(8)+8}{5} = \frac{48}{5}, thus

reciprocal = \frac{1}{\frac{48}{5} } = \frac{5}{48}
