Find the value of c that completes the square

1 answer:

PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

The value of c that completes the square $x^2+2x+c$ is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of c that completes the square $x^2+2x+c$

The formula used will be: $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$

In the question given the value c can be found by breaking the middle term. we are given 2x while the general formula is 2ab for middle term so,

2(x)(1) = 2x

so, c= 1

Solving:

$x^2+2x+c\\=x^2+2(x)(1)+(1)^2-(1)^2\\=(x+1)^2-1$

So, the value of c that completes the square $x^2+2x+c$ is 1

Eight is added to a number and the sum is doubled, the result is -11 less than the number. Find

inna [77]

If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:

(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11

Then, solve:

2x + 16 = x - 11

2x = x -27

x = -27

This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.

-27 + 8 = -19

-19 x 2 = -38

-38 is 11 less than -27.

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the annual interest for a $10,000 Treasury bond with a current yield of 3% that is quoted at 106 points.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$318

Step-by-step explanation:

The treasury bond is $10,000

The current yield is 3%

= 3/100

=0.03

It is quoted at 106 points

The first step is to calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond= $10,000×106/100

= $10,000×1.06

= $10,600

Therefore the annual interest can be calculated as follows

Annual interest= $10,600×0.03

= $318

Hence the annual interest is $318

4. Gloria the grasshopper is working on her hops.

aivan3 [116]

The path that Gloria follows when she jumped is a path of parabola.

The equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Height = 20}$

$\mathbf{Length = 28}$

<em>Assume she starts from the origin (0,0)</em>

The midpoint would be:

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times Length}$

$\mathbf{Mid = \frac 12 \times 28}$

$\mathbf{Mid = 14}$

So, the vertex of the parabola is:

$\mathbf{Vertex = (Mid,Height)}$

Express properly as:

$\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$

A point on the graph would be:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$

The equation of a parabola is calculated using:

$\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(h,k) = (14,20)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

$\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Substitute $\mathbf{(x,y) = (28,0)}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(28 - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(14)^2 + 20}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{a(14)^2 =- 20}$

Solve for a

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{14^2}}$

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{20}{196}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$

Substitute $\mathbf{a =- \frac{5}{49}}$ in $\mathbf{y = a(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Hence, the equation of the parabola that describes the path of her jump is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{5}{49}(x - 14)^2 + 20}$

Jim is building a rectangular deck and wants the length to be 1 ft greater than the width. what will be the dimensions of the de

Travka [436]

Let x = width
x+1 is then the length

2x+2(x+1)=66
2x+2x+2=66
4x=64
x=16
deck will be 16x17, nice for a BBQ. :)
