Answer:

  the correct choice is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The process for completing the square would generally put x-terms on one side of the equal sign and the constant term on the other side:

  x^2 +4x = 3

Then the square of half the x-coefficient would be added to both sides. Here, that is (4/2)^2 = 4.

  x^2 +4x +4 = 7

In order to make this match one of the answer choices, we must multiply both sides by 4.

  4x^2 +16x +16 = 28

Now, we can factor the left side to see a match to the last answer choice.

  (2x +4)^2 = 28

<em>Additional comment</em>

As you can see, we had to deviate from the "complete the square" process to arrive at an equation that matches an answer choice. It cannot be said that the chosen equation "is used in the process." It might be useful to discuss this question with your teacher.

A school is building a rectangular soccer field that has an area of 6000 square yards .the soccer field.must be 40 yards longer
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The equation in standard form is:

x^2-40x-6000 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the field be x yards.

Now the width of the field is 40 yards less than the length of the field.

Thus, the width of the field would be (x-40) yards

Now, to calculate the area of the field, we simply multiply the length of the field by the width of the field.

Hence;

Since the shape is rectangular, the area is the product of the length and that of the width

x(x-40) =6,000

x^2 -40x = 6,000

x^2-40x-6000 = 0
