B. Sometimes because in learned that it isn't always that way.
7=x^2+20x+82
0=x^2+20x+75
What adds to 20 and multiplies to 75? 5 and 15.
x^2+5x+15x+75
x(x+5) 15(x+5)
(x+15) (x+5)
Zeroes are x= -5 and x= -15
Answer:
The intermediate step are;
1) Separate the constants from the terms in x² and x
2) Divide the equation by the coefficient of x²
3) Add the constants that makes the expression in x² and x a perfect square and factorize the expression
Step-by-step explanation:
The function given in the question is 6·x² + 48·x + 207 = 15
The intermediate steps in the to express the given function in the form (x + a)² = b are found as follows;
6·x² + 48·x + 207 = 15
We get
1) Subtract 207 from both sides gives 6·x² + 48·x = 15 - 207 = -192
6·x² + 48·x = -192
2) Dividing by 6 x² + 8·x = -32
3) Add the constant that completes the square to both sides
x² + 8·x + 16 = -32 +16 = -16
x² + 8·x + 16 = -16
4) Factorize (x + 4)² = -16
5) Compare (x + 4)² = -16 which is in the form (x + a)² = b
5x - 15 = 2x - 6
3x = 9
x = 3
Y = 5(3) - 15
Y = 0
(3,0)
