To complete the square you halve the coefficient of the x term and square it. Half of 14 is 7 and 7² is 49. So we add 49 and subtract 49, which means we are not changing the value of the quadratic. So we have x²+14x+49-49+2. This can be written: (x²+14x+49)-49+2, which is (x+7)²-47, which is answer a.
Answer:
D
-3 * (-4) matches, as well as the powers (I guess you wanted to communicate that these are powers, but it would also be correct if these where factors)
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-9,6)....x1 = -9 and y1 = 6
(-3,9)...x2 = -3 and y2 = 9
now we sub and solve
slope = (9 - 6) / (-3 - (-9) = 3 / (-3 + 9) = 3/6 = 1/2 <=
Answer:
The ordered pair (15, 12) means that 15 pounds of beans cost $12.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the x-axis is the pounds of beans and the costs are the y-axis.
