Answer: We should add the constant 81 to the expression to have a perfect square trinomial.
The perfect square trinomial that would be formed would result from (x + 9)^2.
We can use foil to prove it.
(x + 9)(x + 9)
x^2 + 9x + 9x + 81
x^2 + 18x + 81
81 is the value that must go with 18x in the middle to form the perfect square trinomial.
The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,
ax² + bx + c = 0.
And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.
Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,
2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1
2x² – 9x + 3 = 0
Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.
After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.
So, discriminant = b²- 4ac
=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)
= 81 - 24
= 57
So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.
57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.
So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.
jeez that looks really hard
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate per hour is equal to the total bagels made divided by the time to make them.
360 ÷ 10 = 36
If for 1 hour they make 36 bagels, for 13 hours they can bake
36 x 13 = 468 bagels.
