We have that
x²<span> + 7x + c
</span><span>Group
terms that contain the same variable
</span>(x² + 7x )+ c
<span>Complete
the square. Remember to balance the equation
</span>(x² + 7x+3.5² )+ c-3.5²
Rewrite as perfect squares
(x+3.5)²+ c-3.5²
so
c-3.5² must be zero
c-3.5²=0------- c=3.5²------> c=12.25
the answer isthe value of c must be 12.25
The answer would be the second choice. 4:5
Answer:
mean and range
arrangement before: 24,25,25,26,27
arrangement after: 24,25,25,25,26,27,28
mean before: (27+25+24+26+25)/5 = 25.4
mean after: (27+25+24+26+25+25+28))/5 = 25.7
median before: 25
median after: 25
mode before: 25
mode after: 25
range before: 24 to 27
range after: 24 to 28
hence, the mean and range were affected while the median and mode remained unchanged.
The answer would be A. 15mi
