Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
2^4 is the same thing as 2*2*2*2*2. 2 times 2 is 4, times 2 is 8, times 2 again is 16.
Answer:
- 5(x +1.5)^2
- 10(x +1)^2
- 1/4(x +2)^2
- 3(x +5/6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...
a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2
This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.
a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2
b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2
c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2
d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.
If you divide it by 5 on both numbers you get four and three. So 4 is the answer.
Answer:
π/4 radians
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc length formula is s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle (in radians).
Here, r = 8 inches and s = arc length = 2π inches. We need to find the central angle, Ф. The formula given above is s = rФ, or, equivalently,
Ф = s/r.
Here, the central angle is Ф = s/r = 2π/8, or π/4 radians.
