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

gtnhenbr [62]

I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation. That's the easiest way. x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3. Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2. 13y = -13, and y = -1. Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1. Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.

A watering can dispenses water at a rate of 0.15 gallon per minute. The original volume of water in the can was 5 gallons. Which

mezya [45]

Y equals volume of water, x equals time. If they ask to find the coordinates at one minute, then the first thing you should do is set x equal to 1. That leaves two possible answers. Finally you need to decide how much water is lost in one minute. if you need more help leave a comment.

For the composite function, identify an inside function and an outside function and write the derivative with respect to x of th

alexira [117]

Answer:

The inner function is $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The derivative of the function is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A composite function can be written as $g(h(x))$ , where $h$ and $g$ are basic functions.

For the function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ .

The inner function is the part we evaluate first. Frequently, we can identify the correct expression because it will appear within a grouping symbol one or more times in our composed function.

Here, we have $4x^2+8$ inside parentheses. So $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ is the inner function and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The chain rule says:

$\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))g'(x)$

It tells us how to differentiate composite functions.

The function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ is the composition, $g(h(x))$ , of

outside function: $g(x)=3x^5$

inside function: $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$

The derivative of this is computed as

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}:\quad \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx}\\f=u^5,\:\:u=\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\frac{d}{du}\left(u^5\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\cdot \:5\left(4x^2+8\right)^4\cdot \:8x\\\\120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$
