Answer:

u² + 2u + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it's asking to find the the number in the blank to make the expression a perfect square.

Let the number in the blank be 'x'.

To guess 'x' , use the algebraic identity :- $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + (2 \times a \times b) + b^2$

While matching the expression with identity , the expression will look like this :- u² + 2ux + x²

In the expression given in the question , it's "2u" but after matching the expression with identity , it is found to be "2ux".

⇒ x = 1 (∵ If x will be 1 , then 2ux = 2×u×1 = 2u)

⇒ x² = 1

∴ The number in the blank is 1.

Geometry problem help! Please refer to the image below...

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A. 1/3

B. √10

C. -1, 1

D. √8, 6

E. congruent and opposite pairs parallel

F. perpendicular, not congruent

G. rhombus, explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

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

Slope is the rise over the run. Let's look at F to G.

We are going from -1 to 2 on our x-axis (run), so our run is 3 units.

Our rise is 1 unit as we go from 2 to 3 on the y-axis.

$slope=\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{1}{3}$

This slope is the same for all of the sides.

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

We will use the distance formula (which is basically just the Pythagorean Theorem) to calculate the length of each side. Let's go between F and G again, but this distance is the same for all the sides.

$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_1)^2+(y_{2}-y_1)^2 } \\\\(x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(2,3)\\\\\\\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(3-2)^2 } \\\\\sqrt{(3)^2+(1)^2 }\\\\\sqrt{9+1 }\\\\\sqrt{10}$

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

The diagonals are the lines that connect the non-adjacent vertices.

Our two diagonals are FH and GE.

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

FH

We go from x-value -1 to 1 from F to H, so our run is 2.

We go from y-value 2 to 0. so our rise is -2.

$slope=\frac{rise}{run} =-\frac{2}{2} =-1$

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

GE

We go from x-value -2 to 2 from E to G, so our run is 4.

We go from y-value -1 to 3. so our rise is 4.

$slope=\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{4}{4} =1$

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

Let's use the distance formula on each of our diagonals.

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

FH

$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_1)^2+(y_{2}-y_1)^2 } \\\\(x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(1,0)\\\\\\\sqrt{(1+1)^2+(0-2)^2 } \\\\\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2 }\\\\\sqrt{4+4 }\\\\\sqrt{8}$

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

GE

$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_1)^2+(y_{2}-y_1)^2 } \\\\(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-1)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(2,3)\\\\\\\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(3+1)^2 } \\\\\sqrt{(4)^2+(4)^2 }\\\\\sqrt{16+16 }\\\\\sqrt{36}\\\\6$

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

They are congruent as they all have the same length (√10) and the opposite sides are parallel as they have the same slope (1/3)

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

They are perpendicular diagonals as their slopes are negative reciprocals (1 and -1), and they are not congruent as they have different lengths (√8 and 6).

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

Parallelogram- quadrilateral with opposite pairs of parallel sides.

Rhombus- a parallelogram with four equal sides

Square- a rhombus with four right angles

We can see that this is a parallelogram as we saw that the opposite sides are parallel due to having the same slope, and the perpendicular diagonals show that as well. This is also a rhombus because if we use that distance formula on all the sides, it will be the same. It is not a square though because it does not have four right angles, so this is a rhombus.

Graph the line y+3x=-3

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: y = -3x-3 (Choose values for x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st change the equation to y = mx+b form

In order to change the equation to y = mx+b form subtract the 3x to both sides.
The equation now becomes y = -3x-3

2nd we can either choose values for x such has (-2,-1,0,1,2) and plug in those values into our equation y = -3x-3
For example, if we plug in x= -2 we get y= -3(-2)-3 which becomes y =3. We then plot the point (-2,3) because -2 is our x coordinate and 3 is our y coordinate.
Or we can plug the equation into a calculator that will graph the equation for you.
