What equation results from completing the square and then factoring? x2 + 10x = 15

1 answer:

7 0

X² 10x = 15

x² + 10x + 5² = 15 + 5²

(x + 5)² = 15 + 25

(x + 5)² = 40

x + 5 = $\pm$ √40

x = √40 - 5 or x = -√40 - 5

x = (2√10 -5) or (-2√10 - 5)

stephen is making curtains for several windows in his aunt's house. he determines that he needs 8.5 yards of fabric for each win

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

F(n) = 8.5*n yards, where n is the number of windows

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the house of Stephen's aunt has n windows.

Since he needs 8.5 yards of fabric for each window, then he needs 8.5 times n yards of fabric for the n windows.

Call F(n) the yards of fabric he needs for the n windows, then

F(n) = 8.5*n

For example, if auntie's house had 4 windows, then

F(4) = 8.5*4 = 34 yards.

If auntie's house had 6 windows

F(6) = 51 yards.

Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = x2 − 25?

Viktor [21]

$f(x) = x^{2} - 25$
Let f(x) = y
thus y = $x^{2} - 25$
switch the position of y and x in the equation
$x = y ^{2} - 25$
then solve for y in this case
$x + 25 = y^{2} 
$
∴ y= $\sqrt{x + 25}$

Thus, $f^{-1} (x) = \sqrt{x + 25}$
