To complete the square:
we take the coefficient ox "x" (which in this problem is -20)
we divide it by 2
square that number
then add it to both sides of the equation
-20 / 2 = -10
-10^2 = 100
then we add 100 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 -20x
x^2 -20x +100 = 100
******************************************************
To get the roots of the equation, we take the square root of both sides:
(x -10) * (x-10) = 10
(x-10) = square root (10)
x-10 =

Answer:
If the units in the equation are in feet, it lef5t at a height of 7.4 feet (or meters, etc.).
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = - 0.013x2 + 0.02x + 7.4
When x, the time, = 0 [just before it leaves the pitcher's hand]
p(0) = 7.4
Answer:
y=-1x+-3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
y=-1x+-3
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x + 13 = -14
-9x = -27
x = 3
