What must be added to both sides in 4x² + 24x + 8 = 32 in order to complete the square?

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a quadratic equation by using the completing the square method, the coefficient of the square term i.e x² must be one (1).

Therefore, we would have to first make the coefficient of x² to be equal to 1.

4x² + 24x + 8 = 32

We would simplify the equation;

4x² + 24x = 32 - 8

4x² + 24x = 24

Divide all through by 4;

x² + 8x = 24

The value to be added = (8/2)² = 4² = 16

x² + 8x + 16 = 8 + 16

x² + 4x + 4x + 16 = 24

x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4) = 24

(x + 4)² = 24

Taking the square root of both sides;

x + 4 = ± 4.9

x = -4 ± 4.9

x = -4 + 4.9 = 0.9

or

x = -4 - 4.9 = - 8.9

<em>Therefore, 16 must be added to solve the quadratic equation by completing the square method. </em>

Given YZ tangent to J at point Y, and the mWYZ =104 what is the mWXY
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

m \angle {WYZ}=104 is given, and the angle next to it is a supplement. (Unfortunately, that angle can't be named in the usual way because there is no labeled point "southeast" of point Y.)

That angle has measure 180 - 104 = 76.

Now arc WXY's measure is <u>twice</u> the measure of this angle, so mWXY = 2(76) = 152.

The graph of the function f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 1) is shown.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Real values of x where x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Above the x-axis, the function is positive.

The function is decreasing when the gradient is negative.

The function has a positive

{x}^{2}

coefficient, therefore the vertex is a local minimum;

This means the gradients are negative before the vertex and positive after it;

To meet the conditions therefore, the function must be before the vertex and above the x-axis;

This will be anywhere before the x-intercept at x = -1;

Hence it is when x < -1.
