Solve x 2 + 9x + 8 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?

Mathematics

Sindrei [870]4 years ago
4 0

So firstly, what two terms have a product of 8x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be x and 8x. Replace 9x with x + 8x: x^2+x+8x+8=0

Next, factor x^2 + x and 8x + 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: x(x+1)+8(x+1)=0

Now you can rewrite the equation as (x+8)(x+1)=0

Now using zero product property, solve for x:

x+8=0\\ x=-8\\ \\ x+1=0\\ x=-1

<u>In short, the solutions are {-1,-8}, or C.</u>

Angle A and Angle B are complementary angles. If angle B is five degrees more than four times angle A, find the measure of each
kupik [55]

<u>Answer</u>:

Angle A = 17°, Angle B = 73°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Angle A & Angle B are complementary angles (given) so they will form 90°.

Let's take,

Angle A = x

Angle B = 4x +5 (angle B is five degrees more than four times angle A)

Measure of each angle=?

Angle A + Angle B = 90°

x + 4x + 5 = 90

5x + 5 = 90

5x = 90 - 5

5x = 85

x = 85 ÷ 5

x = <u>1</u><u>7</u><u>°</u>

Angle A = x = <u>1</u><u>7</u><u>°</u>

Angle B = 4x + 5 = 4(17) + 5 = 68 + 5 = <u>7</u><u>3</u><u>°</u>

Katherine's class is selling raffle tickets for $3 to raise money for charity. Katherine's class raised $504. Which equation wou
Evgen [1.6K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent each ticket with the variable t. For each ticket sold, there will be 3 dollars added to the total. So, if you multiply the number of tickets by 3, you will have your total.

This gives us the following equation.

3t=504

We could use this equation to find the number of tickets sold by dividing both sides of it by 3, which isolates the t, showing us that t=168.

Have a wonderful day!

Which is NOT a Characteristic of the linear parent function
RSB [31]

I'm assuming that the "linear parent function" is y = x. If so:

A. is true.

In fact, the slope of a line written in the form y = mx+q is m, and the line y = x is given by m=1,\ q=0

C. is true.

Since the origin is the point (0,0), if we compute the function at x = 0, we want y = 0. This is quite trivial since y = x

D. is true.

The domain is affected by denominators (they can be zero), even roots (they don't accept negative inputs) and logarithms (they don't accept non-positive inputs). Since this function has none of these three, the domain is all real numbers.

B. is FALSE.

The range of a function is the set of numbers obtained as output, for all possible inputs. Since, in this case, the input and the output are the same thing, if you give a negative input, you will receive the same negative output. So, the range doesn't consist only of positive numbers.

PLEASE HURRY XX <br><br> Find a equation that matches the graph.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x ≥ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The closed dot represents ≥ and ≤

The dot is located on the number "3"

The closed dot essentially shows that the solution is nothing more than 3 and up.

Let "x" be the variable we use.

x ≥ 3

Best of Luck!
