Lets get started :)

These questions have asked us to solve by completing the square.
How do we? I have attached a picture, which will explain

6. x² + 2x = 8
→ b is the coefficient of x, which is 2
→ We take half of 2 and square it. Then, we add it to either side

x² + 2x + (\frac{2}{2} )^2 = 8 + ( \frac{2}{2})^2
x² + 2x + 1 = 8 + 1
( x + 1 )( x + 1 ) = 9
( x + 1 )² = 9
\sqrt{( x + 1 )^2} = \sqrt{9}
x + 1 = + 3 or x + 1 = - 3
    x = 2     or     x = - 4

7. x² - 6x = 16

→ We do the same thing we did in the previous question

x² - 6x + (\frac{6}{2})^2 = 16 +  (\frac{6}{2})^2 
x² - 6x + 9 = 16 + 9
(x - 3)² = 25
\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =  \sqrt{25}
x - 3 = + 5 or x - 3 = - 5
   x = 8      or       x = - 2

8. x² - 18x = 19

x² - 18x + ( \frac{18}{2} )^2 = 19 + ( \frac{18}{2})^2
x² - 18x + 81 = 19 + 81
( x - 9 )( x - 9 ) = 100
( x - 9 )² = 100
\sqrt{(x-9)^2} =  \sqrt{100}
x - 9 = + 10 or x - 9 = -10
   x = 19      or      x = - 1

9. x² + 3x = 3

x² + 3x + ( \frac{3}{2} )^2 = 3 +  (\frac{3}{2} )
x^2 + 3x +  \frac{9}{4} = 3 +  \frac{9}{4}
x^{2} + 3x +  \frac{9}{4} =  \frac{21}{4}
(x^2 +  \frac{3}{2} ) ( x^2 +  \frac{3}{2} ) =  \frac{21}{4}
( x^2 + \frac{3}{2} )^2 =  \frac{21}{4}
\sqrt{ x^2 + \frac{3}{2} } =  \sqrt{ \frac{21}{4} } 
x +  \frac{3}{2} = + \frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2} or x +\frac{3}{2} = -  \frac{ \sqrt{21} }{2}
x = \frac{-3+ \sqrt{21} }{2} or x = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{21}}{2}

Answer:

\text{D. }b^2-4ac>0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation b^2-4ac represents the discriminant of a quadratic. It is the part taken from under the radical in the quadratic formula.

For any quadratic:

  • If the discriminant is positive, or greater than 0, the quadratic has two solutions
  • If the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one distinct real solution (the solution is repeated).
  • If the discriminant is negative, or less than 0, the quadratic has zero solutions

In the graph, we see that the equation intersects the x-axis at two distinct points. Therefore, the quadratic has two solutions and the discriminant must be positive. Thus, we have b^2-4ac>0.

A man earns $ 1200 and spends $ 450 per month. Find the ratio of his saving to his income.
nasty-shy [4]

income =$1200

expenditure=$450

saving=$1200-$450

=$750

ratio of income to expenditure is 1200:450

=8:3

ratio of savings to income is 750:1200

=5:8

Conjunction and disconjuction​
maks197457 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

When two statements are connected with an 'and,' you have a conjunction.

For conjunctions, both statements must be true for the compound statement to be true.

When the connector between two statements is "or," you have a disjunction. In this case, only one statement in the compound statement needs to be true for the entire compound statement to be true.
