Let ​ x^2+18x=44 .​ What values make an equivalent number sentence after completing the square?
Lostsunrise [7]
To find the final term to compete the square you need to divide the 'x' term by 2 then square it

x^2 +18x + = 44+ \\ x^2+18x+( \frac{18}{2} )^2=44+( \frac{18}{2} )^2 \\ x^2+18x+9^2=44+9^2 \\ x^2+18x+81=44+81 \\ (x+9)^2=125 - equivalent equation

Let f(x)=x^3-x-1
alexira [117]
f(x) = x^3 - x - 1

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 - x - 1) = 3x^2 - 1

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

f'(0) = 3(0)^2 - 1 = -1

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.

The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

y = -x + c

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

f(0) = (0)^3 - (0) - 1 = -1

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:

y = -x + c \\\\ -1 = -(0) + c \\\\ -1 = c \\\\ \text{Equation of tangent is } \boxed{y = -x - 1}

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at miles 90 per
algol [13]
So the eastbound train travels at 90 miles per hour in the complete opposite direction to the westbound equivalent, which travels at 80 miles per hour. Therefore, per hour, they get 170 miles away from each other. Since we are working out how long it would take for them to be 204 miles apart:

204 / 170 = 1.2 Hours, or 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Hope I helped!
