Answer: p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

p^{2}+16p-17=0\\p^{2}+16p=17\\1^{2}+16(1)=17\\1+16=17\\p=1

(p-1)(p+16)

Also, here's the cross method in completing the square that I tried in the file attachment. I haven't done this in a while, so this may not be neat.

Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the
babymother [125]
Pythagorean theorem is all about squaring the numbers. the equation is a^2+b^2=c^2
when you know two sides of the triangle, you fill in those spaces. they hypotenuse is ALWAYS ‘c’

to figure this problem out you put
a as 4
keep b as b since you don’t know what it is
c as 6

4 squared=16
6 squared=36

16+b^2=36
36-16=20
square root of 20 is 4.47

5. Michael wants to place grass on the sides of his
Elden [556K]

Area of the shaded region to be covered with grass is 204 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Area of the shaded region can be found by finding the total area and subtracting the area of the lap pool.

Total area = Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × distance between them

Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + (3 + 12) = 40 yd

Distance between them = 12 yd

⇒ Total area = 1/2 × 40 × 12 = 240 yd²

  • Step 2: Find the area of the lap pool.

Area = length × width = 12 × 3 = 36 yd²

  • Step 3: Find the area of the shaded region

Area to be covered with grass = 240 - 36 = 204 yd²
