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>

Convert 3.8 kneecap to mi/min
shtirl [24]

keeping in mind that there 60 seconds in 1 minute, and about 1.609 kilometers in 1 mile.


\bf \cfrac{3.8~\underline{km}}{\underline{sec}}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{1.609~\underline{km}}\cdot \cfrac{60~\underline{sec}}{min}\implies \cfrac{3.8\cdot 60~mi}{1.609~min}~~\approx~~141.7029~\frac{mi}{min}

And hey if you know that 20/100 is 13, then how do you find the amount of 80/100?
dezoksy [38]
How is 20/100 = 13...

Anyways, look at the two fractions.

20/100 and 80/100

Notice how 20 times 4 equals 80?

So maybe, 13 * 4 = 52.

Using pemdas get the answer for -6-5(4-6)
Veronika [31]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-5(4-6)

PEMDAS stands for parenthesis, exponent, multiply, divide, add, subtract. Let's follow those rules!

First, we'll do the parenthesis.

-6-20+30

Now we can just add and subtract everything together.

-6+10
