16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8
We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0
The steps for completing the square:
1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:
8n^2 -10n = -137
<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125
</span>
3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36
</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125
+.36
Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root(
<span>

-16.765
</span>
</span>
</span>
)
That's about as far as I can go.
X-3=0
x=3
4x+2y-1=0
4(3)+2y-1=0
12+2y-1=0
11+2y=0
2y=-11
y=-5.5
Given

To obtain the minimum value of y, we first take the derivative of y
The derivative of y is:

Equating

gives the minimum value we require.
Doing that, we have:

So that

Therefore, the minimum value is x = 3
It’s probably A. (1,2) hope this helps..
Answer:
b) 9x² - 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Area for the rectangle = 3x - 1 × 3x
Area = 
Step 1. Multiply by combining like terms
3x · 3x = 9x²
Step 2. Multiply -1 by 3x
-1 · 3x = -3x
Step 3. Combine 9x² and -3x
9x² - 3x
