Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the completing the square method:

16(x^2-x)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - (1/2)^2)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - 1/4)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2) - 16/4 + 4

=16(x-1/2)^2

=4^2(x-1/2)^2

The product of two square is itself a square.

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answ

Nata [24]

Answer: $5x-3y=44$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :_

$(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)$

Standard form of equation of line = $Ax+By=C$

Given points = (7, -3) and (4, -8)

Then, the equation of a line that passes through the points . (7, -3) and (4, -8) is given by -

$(y-(-3))=\dfrac{-8-(-3)}{4-7}(x-7)$

$(y+3)=\dfrac{-8+3}{-3}(x-7)$ [∵ (-)(-)=(+)]

$(y+3)=\dfrac{-5}{-3}(x-7)$

$(y+3)=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-7)$

$3(y+3)=5(x-7)$

$3y+9=5x-35$

$9+35=5x-3y$

$44=5x-3y$

Or $5x-3y=44$

Hence, the required equation :- $5x-3y=44$

Solve the equation 3x + 4y = 16 for x.

Neko [114]

Answer:

3x + 4y = 16 The rule is you can do any valid operation on both sides of an equation and it will still be equal. Subtract 4y.

3x = -4y + 16 Divide by 3.

x = -4y/3 + 16/3 Answer B.
