Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square x^2-12x+20=0

Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 1 over 2 centered around (2, 2). Which statement is true about the dilation?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Option (1)

1) Segment B'D' will run through (2, 2) and will be shorter than segment BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure (1).

The statement options are:

1) Segment B'D' will run through (2, 2) and will be shorter than segment BD.

2) Segment B'D' will run through (2, 2) and will be longer than segment BD.

3) Segment B'D' will parallel to segment BD and will be shorter than segment BD.

4) Segment B'D' will be parallel to segment BD and will be longer than segment BD.

==============================================================

See the attched figure (2), which represents Quadrilateral ABCD and the image A'B'C'D'

As shown:

The quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(1,2), B(2,3), C(4,2) and D(2,1).

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 1 over 2 centered around (2, 2).

So,

The quadrilateral A'B'C'D' will be with vertices:

A'= (1.5,2), B'= (2,2.5), C'= (3,2), D'= (2,1.5)

Comparing the options with the figure (2):

So, the answer is option (1)

1) Segment B'D' will run through (2, 2) and will be shorter than segment BD.

verbally explain how to obtain the graph of the quadratic function f(x)=-2(x+3)^2-4 from the graph of y=x^2.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The graph f(x)=-2(x+3)^2-4 is a reflection over the x-axis, vertical stretch by a factor of 2, a horizontal translation left 3 units and a vertical translation 4 units down of the graph y=x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph f(x) is reflected over the x-axis because the negative is outside of the parenthesis.

it's a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 because 2 is outside of the parenthesis and is greater than 1.

(x+3) is a horizontal translation left 3 units because it is inside the parenthesis.

-4 is vertical translation 4 units down because it is outside of the parenthesis.
