Answer:

25/4 will have to be added to "complete the square"

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 5x - 18 = 0

x² - 5x = 18

Find the half of the coefficient of x and square it

(5/2)² = 25/4

Add 25/4 to both sides to complete the square

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18 + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18(4/4) + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 72/4 + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = (72+25)/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 97/4

(x - 5/2)² = 97/4

Find the square root of both sides

√(x - 5/2)² = ±√97/4

x - 5/2 = √97/2

x = √97/2 + 5/2 or x = -√97/2 + 5/2

x = 7.42443 or -2.42443

11) In a triangle, the ratio of the measures of three angles is 2:5:8. Find the measures of
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Sum of interior angles of a triangle always = 180 degrees

add the individual ratios to get a sum composite ratio:

2+5+8 = 15

180 / 15 = 12

Multiply individual ratios:

{2:5:8} * 12 = 24:60:96

Check:

24 + 60 + 96 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope it's help

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

5 + 3p ≥ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

"at least" means greater than are equal to. ≥

So we already know he has 5 points, but the other 3 rounds we don't. 5 + 3p

30 is the overall points he has.

5 + 3p ≥ 30
