Carter is solving for x by the process of completing the square for the following

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The number that goes in place of the question mark is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it!

3x² + 12x - 24 = 0

First we can factor 3 out of each term:

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

Now we'll add 12 to both sides to complete the square:

x² + 4x + 4 = 12

And finish it off:

(x + 2)² = 12

So the answer to the question is 2

Bonus:

We can also now solve this for x:

(x + 2)² = 12

x = √12 - 2

x = 2√3 - 2

x ≈ 2 × ±1.732 - 2

x ≈ 1.464, -5.464

There are 6 letters, each different
Before MOTHER, words from E , H will come
Words from E = 5! (there are 5 letters to arrange)
Words from H = 5!( there are 5 letters to arrange)

Now words starting by M will come. 
First ME will have = 4! (as 4 letters will be arranged)
Then MH = 4!
Now words with MO<span>

And words starting with MOH... =3!
the words starting with MOR... =3!

Now, words starting from MOT will come
words starting with MOTE.. = 2!
then after words starting from MOTH will come and first word will MOTHER

so, total no. of words before MOTHER = 5! + 5! + 2* 4! + 3 * 3! 
= 120 +120 + 48 + 18 
= 306 
so, rank of MOTHER = 307</span>

Please help it is math
olasank [31]

Answer:

A linear function has the form y=mx+b

A line has a proportional relationship if y/x is always the same ratio for any value.

The slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for some two points on a line is always constant, else it wouldn't create a line.

A line won't be proportional if you adapt b because the ratio of y/x won't match the slope anymore.

In the end this means all lines with proportional relationships must intersect (0,0) or in other words f(0)=0.

This happens if they have the shape y=mx.

Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form, if necessary. Then determine whether the lines are parallel. Explain,
Oksana_A [137]
Answer:
d

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = -x + 7
x + y = 21

x + y = 21
-x -x
y = -x + 21


y = -x + 7
y = -x + 21

Parallel lines have the same slope. Here, our slope is -1

Therefore, our final answer is d.


Hope this helps!

The original price of a video game is $32.99 before tax. When Mario bought the video game it rang up as $26.39 before tax. He th
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Part A:

Original price of video game = $32.99

Discounted price = $26.39

Amount of discount = 32.99 - 26.39 = $6.60

Discount percent = \frac{Amount\ of\ discount}{Original\ price}*100

Discount percent = \frac{6.60}{32.99}*100 = 0.20*100

Discount percent = 20%

Part B:

Sales tax = 8% of discounted price

Amount of sales tax = \frac{8}{100}*26.39 = 0.08*26.39

Amount of sales tax = $2.11

Total amount = $26.39 + $ 2.11 = $28.50

Hence,

Part A: The percent discount on game is 20%.

Part B: Mario paid a total of $28.50 including sales tax.
