The answer is
b= 28/5 or 5.6 in decimal form
To complete the square, the second degree term must have a coefficient of 1.
Since the second degree term here has a coefficient of 4, we start by dividing each term on both sides by 4.



Now we can complete the square.
First, we need to find what number completes the square.
We take the coefficient of the first degree term, -7 in this case.
Divide it by 2 and square it. -7 divided by 2 is the fraction -7/2.
Now we square -7/2 to get 49/4.
We add 49/4 to both sides.



The formula for finding the height of an octagon from only one side is h=s(1 + the square root of 2). S is the length of one side. Your formula would be h=18(1 + the square root of 2).
h=18+18(the square root of 2)
h=18 + 25.4558
h=43.4558
Hope this helps!! :) And the decimal is rounded, just so you know ;). If your teacher likes everything in simplest radical form, then just don't convert the 18*the square root of 2 into a decimal and solve as you normally would.
Answer:
3 / 10
Step-by-step explanation:
3 red + 2 white + 5 blue = 10 marbles in total
the probablity will be 3 out of 10 since there are 3 red marbles and 10 in total of all colurs
Find the difference between the existing terms:
-8 / -4 = 2
-16/-8 = 2
This means the next term is the previous term multiplied by 2:
The first term is given as -4
You would start with the first term ( -4) then multiply it by the difference of terms ( 2) raised to the nth term (n) minus 1.
An = -4 * 2^n-1
The answer is A
