To complete the square, the second degree term must have a coefficient of 1.
Since the second degree term here has a coefficient of 4, we start by dividing each term on both sides by 4.



Now we can complete the square.
First, we need to find what number completes the square.
We take the coefficient of the first degree term, -7 in this case.
Divide it by 2 and square it. -7 divided by 2 is the fraction -7/2.
Now we square -7/2 to get 49/4.
We add 49/4 to both sides.



Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let their ages be x,y,z and x>y>z
x+y+z=74 ...(1)
x=(y+z)-12
or x-y-z=-12 ...(2)
y=z+5 ...(3)
add (1) and (2)
2x=62
x=62/2=31
from (1)
31+y+z=74
y+z=74-31=43
substitute from (3)
z+5+z=43
2z=43-5=38
z=38/2=19
y=19+5=24
so their ages are 31,24 and 19
Answer:
Pierre is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
A growth rate of 2% means that the values is increasing by 0.02 each year so the multiplying factor is 1.02.
Pierre is correct y = 300(1.02)^x.
Scotts answer 1.2 = a growth rate of 20%.

Answer:
12.68°
Step-by-step explanation:
We know all three sides (18, 80, 82), but we only need two: 18, and 82. Why? What we do here is find the arcsin of the first leg divided by the hypotenuse.
arcsin(18/82)
<em>18/82 is the same as 9/41, which equals 0.21951 repeating (all 5 digits after the decimal are repeating, by the way).</em>
arcsin(0.21951)
<em>What you see above this statement equals 0.22131 radians.</em>
0.22131 rad
<em>To convert this to degrees, multiply by 57.2957795.</em>
0.22131 * 57.2957795
<em>0.22131 times 57.2957795 is 12.680128961145.</em>
12.680128961145°
<em>The directions say the final answer has to be two decimal places. So this becomes 12.68 (0 is less than 5, so round down).</em>
12.68°
Angle A is 12.68°.
