To write the given quadratic equation to its vertex form, we first form a perfect square.
x² - 2x + 5 = 0
Transpose the constant to other side of the equation,
x² - 2x = -5
Complete the square in the left side of the equation,
x² - 2x + (-2/1(2))² = -5 + (-2/1(2))²
Performed the operation,
x² - 2x + 1 = -5 + 1
Factor the left side of the equation,
(x - 1)² = -4
Thus, the vertex form of the equation is,
<em> (x-1)² + 4 = 0</em>
Kevin would have to write 133 problems, as 14/5= $2.8 per problem 370/2.8= 132.14 but since he can’t be paid to write .14 of a problem he needs to finish it making the answer 133 problems
Answer:
1.5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
450=30 minutes
450*2=900=60 minutes
150=15 minutes
150*4=600=60 minutes
900/600=1.5 times
