For a parabola that opens upward, it must be a quadratic equation whose coefficient of x2 is a positive number.

So, I'll say x2+5x+6.

Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. F(x) = 4x2 8x 1 –1 = 4x2 8x –1 = 4(x2 2x)

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

Ten less than 3 times a number is the same as the number plus 4

Marina86 [1]

3(x)-10=x+4. That’s the equation. Ight, now we gotta solve it. It would be 3x-10=x+4, then you subtract 4 from each side, so 3x-14=x, then subtract 3x, so -2x=-14, then divide -2x by -2 and -14 by 2, which means the answer is x=-7. Thank me later.
