What is the length of line PS

Mathematics
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
4 0
PQ^2 = PR \times PS

(4x + 4)^2 = (3x + 3)(3x + 3 + 21)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= (3x + 3)(3x + 24)

16x^2 + 32x + 16= 9x^2 + 81x + 72

7x^2 - 49x- 56 = 0

7(x^2 - 7x - 8)= 0

(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0

x - 8 = 0~~~or~~~x + 1 = 0

x = 8~~~or~~~x = -1

x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.

x = 8

PS = 3x + 3 + 21

PS = 3x + 24

PS = 3(8) + 24

PS = 24 + 24

PS = 48

What constant term should be used to complete the square? x 2 - 5x + _____ = 7
amm1812
The quadratic equation in its generic form is:
 ax2 + bx + c
 To complete squares we must add the following term:
 (b / 2) ^ 2
 The equation is:
 ax2 + bx + c + (b / 2) ^ 2
 We have the following equation:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + k = 7
 By completing squares we have:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + (-5/2) ^ 2 = 7 + (-5/2) ^ 2
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 6.25 = 7 + 6.25
 Answer:
 
A constant term should be used to complete the square is:
