Answer:

(x+1)² = 14

a = 1, b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation, x² + 2x = 13

We are to use the completing the square method to express in the form

(x + a)² = b

x² + 2x = 13

Add the square of half of the coefficient of x to both sides

Coefficient of x = 2

Half of the coefficient of x = 2/2

Square of the result = (2/2)²

Square of the result = 1²

Add (1/2)² to both sides

x² + 2x + (1)² = 13 + (1)²

(x+1)² = 13 + 1

(x+1)² = 14

Compare with  (x+a)² = b

a = 1 and b = 14

Dara ran on a treadmill that had a readout indicating the time remaining in her exercise session. When the readout indicated 24
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

E. 16 min 12 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total time taken to complete the exercise.

We have been given that Dara ran on a treadmill that had a readout indicating the time remaining in her exercise session.

When the readout indicated 24 min 18 sec, she had completed 10% of her exercise session. This means that 90% time of exercise is equal to 24 minutes and 18 seconds.

18 seconds will be equal to 0.3 minutes.

Let us find total time of exercise as:

\frac{90}{100}x=24.3

0.90x=24.3

\frac{0.90x}{0.90}=\frac{24.3}{0.90}

x=27

To find readout when Dara had completed 40% of her exercise session, we need to find 60% of total time.

\frac{60}{100}(27)=0.60(27)=16.2

Since our time in in minutes, so we will convert 0.2 minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60.

0.20(60)=12

Therefore, the readout will indicate 16 minutes 12 seconds, when Dara had completed 40% of her exercise session.

Anit [1.1K]

HK consists of two part, HJ and JK

HK = HJ + JK

We know that:

HK = 12.2ft

JK = 3.1ft

HJ = ?

Let's plug our values into the equation above.

12.2ft = HJ + 3.1ft

Subtract 3.1ft from both sides.

9.1ft = HJ

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

C. x = 8 is a solution, but x = 6 is not

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + 6 = 18

12 + 8 = 20
