well, let's start off by doing some grouping, what we'll be doing is so-called "completing the square" as in a perfect square trinomial, since that's what the vertex form of a quadratic uses.
well, darn, we have a missing number for our perfect trinomial, however let's recall that in a perfect square trinomial the middle term is really the product of 2 times the term on the left and the term on the right without the exponent, so then we know that
well then, that's our mystery guy, now, let's recall all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3².
Answer:
range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
Psychology 101 score = 66
average of his midterm = between 78 and 90
maximum = 100 points
to find out
range of scores on final exam student get B
solution
we consider here lowest marks need in final = x
so average at two marks should be
equation is
average marks = 0.5 × ( mid term marks + final marks ) .................1
put here value
78 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )
x = 90
and
90 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )
x = 114
so range 90 to 114
but maximum marks is 100 so
range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100
