Answer:

u^2- 18u +81 = (u-9)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

u^2- 18u +

Take the u coefficient

-18

Divide by 2

-18/2 = -9

Square it

(-9)^2 = 81

u^2- 18u +81 = (u-9)^2

Answer:

The blank should contain 81

Step-by-step explanation:

E = u^2 - 18u + (-18/2)^2

E = (u^2 - 18u + 9^2)

E = (u - 9)^2

To be perfectly correct what you have there is a perfect square, but you need to subtract out (9/2)^2 to make it a valid statement.

E = (u - 9)^2 - 81

The local radio tower is located 20 miles east and 12 miles north of Pamela's cabin. The radio tower has a 25 mile broadcast rad
pychu [463]

Answer:

x^2 +y^2 -40x -24y  -81 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle in the form

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

Assuming that Pamela's cabin is the center

( x-20)^2 + (y- 12)^2 = 25^2

We want to get to general form

x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0,

Distributing

x^2 -40x +400 + y^2 -24y +144 = 625

x^2 +y^2 -40x -24y +544 -625 =0

x^2 +y^2 -40x -24y  -81 =0
