When forming a perfect square trinomial you need to "complete the square".
All of the steps to completing the square when solving an equation:
1. The leading coefficient must be 1.
2. Divide b by 2.
3. Square (b/2)
4. Add (b/2)^2 to both sides to keep the polynomial balanced.
5. You can now write the perfect square trinomial and solve.
x^2 - 3x
-3/2
(-3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2 1/4
LETTER B
After 5 days
You can solve this by plugging 5 in.
-3(5)+42 = 27
4(5)+7 = 27
They have the same result.
Identify first the common difference of the arithmetic sequence by the following,
d = (a22 - a1) / 22 - 1
d = (-226 - 26) / 22 -1 = -12
Solving for the 31st term,
a31 = a1 + (n - 1)d
a 31 = 26 + (31 - 1)(-12)
a 31 = -334
Therefore, the answer is letter A. -334.
