Answer:  Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Part of cookies eaten by  Scott = \dfrac25

Part of cookies eaten by sister = \dfrac{2}{9}

Fraction they both eat = \dfrac25+\dfrac29=\dfrac{9\times2+5\times2}{5\times9}

=\dfrac{18+10}{45}\\\\=\dfrac{28}{45}

Fraction of the bag remain = 1-\dfrac{28}{45}=\dfrac{45-28}{45}=\dfrac{17}{45}

[Taking fraction of whole bag =1]

Hence, Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}

Answer:

  • f(x²) = x² +5
  • (f(x))² = x² +10x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the argument in place of x and evaluate the desired expression.

__

1. f(x²) = x² + 5 . . . . . . straight substitution for x

__

2. (f(x))² = (x +5)²

  = (x +5)(x +5) = x(x +5) +5(x +5) = x² +5x +5x +25

  (f(x))² = x² +10x +25

Show all steps when completing the square to solve 2x^2 - 4x - 5 = 25
aleksley [76]

Answer:

x = 5, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 4x - 5 = 25

add 5 to each side

2x² - 4x = 30

factor out the 2

2(x² - 2x) = 30

divide both sides by 2

x² - 2x = 15

divide b by 2, square it -- (b/2)², and add it to both sides

-2/2 = -1 → -1² = 1

x² - 2x + 1 = 15 + 1

factor the expression on the left -- this will be [x - (b/2)]²

(x - 1)² = 16

find the square root of both sides

x - 1 = ±4

add 1 to both sides

x = 4 + 1

x = -4 + 1

solve

x = 5, -3
