The form (x - p)^2 = q is the form that completing the square will leave us with.
---Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 8x = 5
---Divide the b term by 2, and square it. Then, add that number to both sides.
-8/2 = -4
(-4)^2 = 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 5 + 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 21
---Factor!
(x - 4)^2 = 21
p = 4
q = 21
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
the third one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
119.05°
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the angle is given by ...
θ = arctan(y/x)
Here, that becomes ...
θ = arctan(9/-5) ≈ 119.05°

<em>Comment on using a calculator</em>
If you use the ATAN2( ) function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet, it will give you the angle in the proper quadrant. If you use the arctangent function (tan⁻¹) of a typical scientific calculator, it will give you a 4th-quadrant angle when the ratio is negative. You must recognize that the desired 2nd-quadrant angle is 180° more than that.

It may help you to consider looking at the "reference angle." In this geometry, it is the angle between the vector v and the -x axis. The coordinates tell you the lengths of the sides of the triangle vector v forms with the -x axis and a vertical line from that axis to the tip of the vector. Then the trig ratio you're interested in is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent = |y|/|x|
This is the tangent of the reference angle, which will be ...
θ = arctan(|y| / |x|) = arctan(9/5) ≈ 60.95°
You can see from your diagram that the angle CCW from the +x axis will be the supplement of this value, 180° -60.95° = 119.05°.
Answer:
One possible equation is 
, which is equivalent to 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor theorem states that if 
(where 
is a constant) is a root of a function, 
would be a factor of that function.
The question states that 
and 
are 
-intercepts of this function. In other words, 
and 
would both set the value of this quadratic function to 
. Thus, 
and 
would be two roots of this function.
By the factor theorem, 
and 
would be two factors of this function.
Because the function in this question is quadratic, and would be the only two factors of this function. In other words, for some constant 
(
):
.
Simplify to obtain:
.
Expand this expression to obtain:
.
(Quadratic functions are polynomials of degree two. If this function has any factor other than and , expanding the expression would give a polynomial of degree at least three- not quadratic.)
Every non-zero value of corresponds to a distinct quadratic function with -intercepts and . For example, with 
:
, or equivalently,
.
Unless this is a trick question, I think 7 baskets. If you have 7 baskets then you can put 5 peaches in each basket. Hope this is right.
