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>

1.Bobby walked 5 miles and then 1/2 the distance. What is his total distance?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of 5 equals 2.5. Bobby already walked 5 miles so you add the 2.5 since he walked another half of that distance. 5 + 2.5 = 7.5

qwelly [4]

Answer:

$354

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find out how much 1 lb of can is then we can multiply that by 200 to get the answer.

so I divided 43 by 23.65 and got 1.81818181

i'll round that to $1.82 so that equals 1 lb of a can

multiply that by 200

the answer is $354
