Answer:

(4x² -6x+1.5²) +9-1.5²= (2x-1.5)²+9-2.25= (2x-1.5)²+6.75

(2x-1.5)² is greater or equal to 0 , 6.75>0 so expression is positive for all real numbers x

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Use the formula a²-2ab+b²= (a-b)² (You need to make squared expression because it is always positive)

Consider 4x² as a² and -6x=-2ab

4x²=a² a=2x  ab=3x 2x*b=3x

b=1.5

Express 4x² -6x+9= (4x² -6x+1.5²) +9-1.5²= (2x-1.5)²+9-2.25= (2x-1.5)²+6.75

(2x-1.5)² is greater or equal to 0 , 6.75>0 so expression is positive for all real numbers x

Today Ian wants to run less than 7/12 mile. Write a fraction with a denominator of 4 to respresent a distance that is less than
Mkey [24]

Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles. It says to find out a fraction with a denominator of 4 and which is less than 7/12.

Let's assume the required fraction to be x/4 such that x/4 is less than 7/12.

\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12} \\\\ 3*\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12}*3 \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{21}{12} \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{7}{4} \\\\ 3x < 7

So we must have multiples of 3's that should be less than 7, we have only two choices 3 < 7 or 6 < 7.

It means x = 1 or x = 2, and the required fraction would be 1/4 or 2/4.

2/4 is simplified to 1/2 and the question says to have denominator 4.

Hence, final answer is 1/4

Zielflug [23.3K]
Answer:  The mode is: 3 .  The range is:  6 .
___________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________
  It would be best to list this values in the data set given, from least to greatest:
________________________________________________
  { 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9 } .
________________________________________________
  The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the data set, which is: "3".
_________________________________________________________
{The number, "3", occurs FOUR (4) times.  The number, "4", occurs ONE (1) time.  The number, "5", occurs TWO (2) times.  The number, "6", occurs ONE (1) time.  The number, "9", occurs ONE (1) time.}.
___________________________________________________
The range is calculated from subtracting the LOWEST value in the data set FROM the HIGHEST value in the data set.
____________________________________________________
 The lowest values in the data set is: "3" .
 
 The highest value in the data set is: "9" .
________________________________________________
 To calculate the range:  9 <span>− 3  = 6 .  The range is:  "6".

10. What makes an equation a quadratic?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

D. The equation has a variable multiplied by itself. A squared variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation will always start with a term being squared. For example, 8x^{2} + 5x + 7 = 44. Another example would be 4x^{2} + 2x - 10 = 12. These are just random numbers, but the equation will always look the same! Hope this helps!
