This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For integers a, b and k, we know that a > 12, b < 20 and a < b. If b=7k, what is the value of k ?

Answer: the value of k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

a > 12

b < 20

a < b

If b = 7k

Now if k = 1 {b = 7k = 7}

b would be equal to 7 but b has to be greater than 20

IT CANT BE

if k = 2 { b = 7k = 14}

b would be equal to 14, a is greater than 12, b has to be less than b; 14 < 20,

a has to be less than than b ( 12 < 14 )

IT IS

if k = 3 {b = 7k = 21}

b would be equal to 21, so b is greater than 20 and a is less than 21

IT CANT BE

Therefore the value of k = 2

Determine the next step for solving the quadratic equation by completing the square

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The two solutions are: $x=\frac{1}{2}+/-\frac{\sqrt{7} }{2}$

The next and every step are below.

Explanation:

1. $-3=-2x^2+2x$ : Given (addition property / add - 3 to both sides)

2. $-3 = - 2(x^2-x)$ : Given (commom factor - 2)

3. $-3-1/2=-2(x^2-x+1/4)$

To obtain the perfect square it was added the square of half of the coefficient of x: (1/2)² = 1/4, inside the parenthesis.

Since, the terms inside the parentthesis are multiplied by - 2, you have to add - 2 (1/4) = - 1/2 to the left side of the equation.

4. Now, you have that the trinomial x² - x + 1/4 is a square perfect trinomial which is factored as (x - 1/2)² and get the expression:

$-7/2=-2(x-1/2)^2$

5. Divide both sides by - 2 to get the next expression:

$-7/4=(x-1/2)^2$

6. The last step is to extract squere root from both sides of the equality:

$(x-1/2)=+/-\sqrt{\frac{7}{4}}\\ \\ x-1/2=+/-\frac{\sqrt{7} }{2}\\ \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+/-\frac{\sqrt{7} }{2}$

Section 2.4

-------------------------------------------------

8x^2y : 2x : 2y = 2x

This is because 8x^2y divided over 2x leads to 4xy. Dividing 4xy over 2y leads to 2x.

-------------------------------------------------

15x^6y^3 : 5y^2x^3 = 3x^3y

Note how 15 divided by 5 is 3

Also, x^6 divided by x^3 is x^3. You subtract the exponents.

Similarly, y^3 divided by y^2 is y^1 = y.

-------------------------------------------------

16y^5x^3z : -4zyx = -4y^4x^2

Divide the coefficients to get 16/(-4) = -4

The y terms divide to (y^5)/(y) = y^4. Subtract the exponents.

The x and z terms are handled the same way.

--------------------------------------------------

-8x^2 : 2x = -4x

We follow the same steps as before. This time -8/2 = -4 is the new coefficient. The x terms divide to (x^2)/x = x where x is nonzero.

---------------------------------------------------

-6xz : -2zx = 3

The coefficients divide to (-6)/(-2) = 3

The x and z terms cancel out when we divide them.

---------------------------------------------------

3y^2x : xy^2 = 3

The y^2x expression is the same as xy^2, so when we divide these terms they cancel.

A triangle is placed in a semicircle with a radius of 3 yd, as shown below. Find the area of the shaded region.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Considering that the shaded area is the part of the semi circle outside the triangle:

Area of circle= Pi x radius2 (this means radius squared)

Area of triangle= 1/2 x base x height

1/2 (because it is a semi circle) x 3.14 (in replacement of pi as directed by question) x 9squared= 127.17

127.17 - (1/2 x 18 x 9) = 46.17cmsquared
