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>

For the members of a neighborhood meeting group, the probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook is 42%, the pr
Monica [59]

Answer: Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to cook=P(C) = 42%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to sew =P(S)= 23%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to both cook and sew

P(C\cap S)=7\%

As we know the "Probability rules " :

P(C\cup S)=P(C)+P(S)-P(S\cap C)\\\\P(C\cup S)=42+23-7\\\\P(C\cup S)=58

So, Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

A Shopkeeper
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The cost of bicycle is Rs1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of bicycle

Total profit gained by the shopkeeper by selling at labelled price = 20%

Suppose he sell the bicycles at at 5% discount

Which means that the total profit he learn after discount will be:

20% -5% = 15%

The shopkeeper earns a profit of 15% if he sells at discount.

Profit gained by shopkeeper is:

15% of x = 15/100 · x

15% of x = 0.15x

Thus the profit gained will be 0.15x. As profit gained is equal to 150, we can say that

0.15x = 150

x = 1000

The cost of bicycle is Rs1000
