Completing the Square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C.7, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a polynomial of degree two. A quadratic equation is in the form:

ax² + bx + c = 0; where a, b, c are constants.

Quadratic equation can be solved using different methods, such as completing the square method, quadratic formula.

Solving the equation 2x² - 10x - 20 = 8 using completing the square:

2x² - 10x - 20 = 8

2x² - 10x = 28

Divide through by 2, to make the coefficient of x² to be 1:

x² - 5x = 14

Add to both sides, the square of half of the coefficient of x [i.e. (-5/2)² = 6.25]

x² - 5x + 6.25 = 14 + 6.25

(x - 2.5)² = 20.25

taking square root of both sides:

x - 2.5 = √20.25

x - 2.5 = ±4.5

x = 2.5 ± 4.5

x = 2.5 + 4.5; or x = 2.5 - 4.5

x = 7 or x = -2

Ms. Wall will roll two number cubes. What is
bonufazy [111]
Probability of rolling a sum of 9 or a sum that is even from two number cubes is
11/18
Explanation:
When a dice is rolled there are different ways in which
9. can be obtained, which are (3,6) or (4,5) or (5,4) or (6,3). 4 options. As in all there are
6⋅6=36 options, probability is 4/36 or 1/9.

For getting an even number as sum, we can have (1,1) or (1.3) or (1,5) or (2,2) or (2,4) or (2,6) or (3,1) or (3,3) or (3,5) or (4,2) or (4,4) or (4,6) or (5,1) or (5,3) or (5,5) or (6,2) or (6,4) or (6,6) 18 options, probability is 18/36 or 1/2.

Note that the two events (getting 9 or even sum) are mutually exclusive, the probabilities can be just added i.e. combined probability is
1/9+1/2=2+9/18i.e. 11/18

Gracie has 1/2 of a cantaloupe that she wants to divide. How many 's 1/8 of a cantaloupe are there in 1/2 of a cantaloupe?
Julli [10]

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing a whole cantaloupe into eighths will give you 8/8 or 1. When it is cut in half then divided there is one half of 8/8 or there are 4/8 in one half. This is true because 1/2 and 4/8 are equal terms.

Hope this helps!
