Answer:

Completing the square is a method that will solve all quadratic equations. By completing the square on the general quadratic equation, we obtain a formula that is worth learning and that will solve all quadratic equations.

The quadratic formula does the same thing as completing the square.  The formula reads: x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The a, b and c terms are the coefficients of a polynomial where a is the coefficient of the squared term, b the linear term and c the constant when the equation is set equal to zero [ax squared plus bx plus c = 0].

Solving quadratics with this formula is then just as simple as substituting the numbers from an equation into these placeholder variables. Then, you need to simplify the expression to get the two solutions, one where you use the plus sign and the other the minus sign.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points? (5,2) and (7,8) the answers are 2/3,-2/3,3/2 or -3/2
Mice21 [21]
Answer:  The slope is:  "3" ; which does not appear among the                                   answer choices given.
______________________________________________

The slope, "m" is calculated as follows:
___________________________________
Given two coordinates on a line; 

m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ;
__________________________________________

We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
 1)  (5,2) ; which is:  (x₁ ,y₁) ;  so x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 2 ; AND:
 
 2)  (7,8);  which is:  (x₂ ,y₂) ;  so x₂ = 7; y₂ = 8 ;
_____________________________________________
So;  m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (8−2) /.(7−5) = 6/2 = 3 .

m = 3.  The slope is: 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
______________________________________________
Alternately,
______________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
 1)  (7,8) ; which is:  (x₁ ,y₁) ;  so x₁ = 7 ; y₁ = 8 ; AND:
 
 2)  (5,2);  which is:  (x₂ ,y₂) ;  so x₂ = 5; y₂ = 2 ;
______________________________________________
So;  m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (2−8) / (5−7) = -6/-2 = 3 .

m = 3.  The slope is 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Find the quotient. Write your answer in standard form. 2+i/2-i
xeze [42]
Using PEDMAS, you would divide I/2 first, then add 2 to that and subtract I from the equation. It all varies on what "i" is, however.
