Answer: x^2 - 14x + 49
Explanation:
1) Divide the coefficient of x by 2:
14 / 2 = 7
2) so you have to add 7^2 = 49
x^2 - 14x + 49
3) that trinomial is equivalent to:
=> (x - 7)^2
4) prove that using the formula (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(x - 7)^2 = x^2 - 14x + 49
Then you have to add 49 to complete the square. and form a perfect square trinomial.
Answer:
it has to equal -1 x= to -1 parenthesees
1 times -1= -1 its true for that 1 answer but not the others
Answer:
5 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 1 = 4
3/7 + 6/7 = 9/7 = 1 2/7
1 2/7 + 4 = 5 2/7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.
f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26
f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26
f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26
f(1) = 26 - 26
f(1) = 0
=========================
next perform a long division
x -1 || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2x^3 - 2x^2
===========
-12x^2 + 28x
-12x^2 +12x
==========
26x -26
26x - 26
========
0
Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2(x^2 - 6x + 13)
The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16
So you are going to get a complex result.
x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)
=============
2
x = 3 +/- 2i
f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)
The zeros are
1
3 +/- 2i
Answer:
There are 9 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
3:5 = x:15
3/5 = x/15
3(15) = 5x
5x = 45
x = 9 adults
3:5 = 9:15
