X^2+12=40 what number must you add to complete the square?

Mathematics
1 answer:
posledela3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If you really meant X^2+12=40, then this simplifies to x^2 = 28, and therefore x = ±√28, or x = ±2√7.

2) If you meant X^2+12x=40:

a) Take half of the coefficient of x:  that would be (1/2)(12), or 6.  

b) Square this result, obtaining:  6² = 36

c) Add this 36 to x^2 + 12x + 40, and then subtract it:  We get:  

x² + 12x + 36 - 36 = 40, or x² + 12x + 36 = 76

We have to add 36, as indicated above, to "complete the square."

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.

Create an equation that matches this table
Radda [10]

The equation that matches the given table is

y = 10x + 40

Solution:

General equation of a line : y = mx + c

Let us find the equation of the table.

<u>Common differences of X: </u>

0 – 1 = 1, 1 – 2 = 1, 3 – 2 = 1, 4 – 3 = 1, 5 – 4 = 1

<u>Common differences of Y: </u>

50 – 40 = 10, 60 – 50 = 10, 70 – 60 = 10, 80 – 70 = 10, 90 – 80 = 10

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

$m=\frac{10}{1}

m = 10

Substitute m = 10 in general equation of a line

y = 10x + c

To find the constant term, substitute x = 0 and y = 40.

40 = 10(0) + c

40 = 0 + c

40 = c

c = 40

Therefore the equation of a line is y = 10x + 40.

Hence the equation that matches the given table is y = 10x + 40.

Find the value of X and the missing angle
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

x = 10

missing angle = 83°

Step-by-step explanation:

These are supplementary angles meaning they have a sum of 180°.

8x + 3 + 97 = 180

8x + 100 = 180

8x + 100 - 100 = 180 - 100

8x = 80

x = 10

Substitute the value for the variable.

8(10) + 3

80 + 3

83
