How do i express x^2-3x into the form of (x-m)^2+n. I will give brainliest to correct answer
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let's simply do the multiplications and then compare with the original.
(x-m)² + n
right ?
or is it
let's go for the first.
x² - 2mx + m² + n = x² - 3x
-2mx + m² + n = -3x
fun there we see two things :
-2m = -3
m = 3/2
and
m² + n = 0
(3/2)² = -n
9/4 = -n
n = -9/4
so our transformed expression looks like
(x - 3/2)² - 9/4

Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s
What are similar triangles?
Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.
Here,
The diagram has been attached here
Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.
Height of street light = 18 ft
Height of woman = 6ft
The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]
To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'
Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft
