To create a perfect square trinomial, halve the x coefficient, square it, and then add that value.
In the case of x² + 6x, we would have 6 to get 3, then square 3 to get 9.
We would add 9 to make a perfect square trinomial.
<u>
</u><u>Why this works</u>
A perfect square trinomial is designed to factor to some value (x+n)².
When you FOIL this you get x² + 2nx + n².
As you can see, if you wanted to find the value of that n², you could take that x coefficient 2n, halve it to get n, and then square it to get n²!
Okay. So for this equation, she would make $60, plus $5.25 in tips each hour. So for this, she would get $60 + 5.25h. Plug in 4 hours, and she would make $21 off of tips, plus the $60, which brings her up to $81 total. The answer is C.
The value of 4 in 40 is 10 times less than the value of 4 in 400
Answers: The page numbers are 11 and 12
==========================================================
Explanation:
Consecutive integers are ones that follow immediately after another. For example, the set {7,8,9,10} are consecutive.
Let,
- x = first page, some positive whole number
- x+1 = second page, follows immediately after page x
Adding those two said pages will lead to 23
first + second = 23
(x) + (x+1) = 23
2x+1 = 23
2x = 23-1
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11 is the first page
x+1 = 11+1 = 12 is the second page
Check: 11+12 = 23 which confirms the answers.
34.50/6 = 5.75
44/8 = 5.5
52.5/10 = 5.25
As the number of tickets increase, the cost per ticket decreases.
So it does not make sense to use a constant rate.
