Answer:
add 1/4 to each side
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+x=11
We take the coefficient of the x term
1
Then divide it by 2
1/2
Then square it
(1/2) ^2 = 1/4
Add this to both sides of the equation
x^2 + x + 1/4 = 11+1/4
(x+1/2)^2 = 11 1/4
Answer:
19.9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have:
is the distance travelled during the 1st day
is the distance travelled during the 2nd day
is the distance travelled during the 3rd day
is the distance travelled during the 4th day
We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

This means that

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.
The ratio of the areas of the two polygons can be 25:45
Just Multiply the two give numbers by 5 and you get the answer.
The perimeter, by definition, is the outside measure of that figure. MN and LM are the same length and LK and NK are the same length....we just need to find the lengths! Use the distance formula to find the distance between the 2 points:

For the segment MN, use the coordinates of M as your x1, y1, and use the coordinates of N for x2, y2:

which simplifies to

which is

So that is the length of both MN and LM. So far our perimeter is

Now let's use the same formula to find out the length of one of the longer segments:

which simplifies down to

which is of course

Since we have 2 of those lengths,

So our perimeter is, in the end,

That's the third choice down
