So our original equations would be..
(a) perimeter in terms of y
(b) area in terms of y
*I'm actually not sure about b.. sorry*
(c) if perimeter = 28, find length
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square in the quadratic from ax² + bx + c
You know an equation is perfect when:
2√(ax²)√(c) = bx
Substitute x² for ax² and 8x for bx. Then isolate c by doing the reverse operations.
2√(ax²)√(c) = bx
2√(x²)√(c) = 8x
2x√c = 8x Divide both sides by 2x
√c = 4 Square both sides to isolate c.
c = 16
The missing constant term is 16.
Check answer:
x² - 8x + 16
(x - 4)²
= (x - 4)(x - 4)
= x² - 4x - 4x + 16
= x² - 8x + 16
You didn't include a picture of the answer choices, but this is what the answer would look like. Pretend the different shapes represent different rows:
ΔΔΔΔ
ββββ
αααα
There are three rows. 4 Books in each row.
No.
The value of 2.29 is greater than, not less than, the value 2.129.
2 and 1 are in the same location in each number: the tenths position. 2 is larger than 1 is, and thus 2.29 is larger.
