Solve this equation by completing the square p^2 + 16p - 17 = 0

Mathematics

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.

Answer:

Then the solution is (4, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the substitution method:

First multiply the second equation by 4, obtaining 4y = -2x + 32.

Now substitute (-2x + 32) for 4y in the first equation:

3x + (-2x + 32) = 36, or

3x - 2x + 32 = 36. or

x = 4.

If x = 4, then the second equation yields y = (-1/2)(4) + 8, or

y = -2 + 8, or y = 6

Then the solution is (4, 6).

Check, using the first equation:

Does 3(4) + 4(6) = 36?  Does 12 + 24 = 36?  YES

Factor
solmaris [256]

The correct answer is C) (5m^50 - 11n^8) (5m^50 + 11n^8)

We can tell this because of the rule regarding factoring the difference of two perfect squares. When we have two squares being multiplied, we can use the following rule.

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

In this case, or first term is 25m^100. So we can solve that by setting it equal to a^2.

a^2 = 25m^100 -----> take the square root of both sides

a = 5m^50

Then we can do the same for the b term.

b^2 = 121n^16 ----->take the square root of both sides

b = 11n^8

Now we can use both in the equation already given

(a - b)(a + b)

(5m^50 - 11n^16)(5m^50 + 11n^16)

Can anyone help me please

Range of values of x is 25°<x<27°.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

An angle is formed when two rays, a line with one endpoint, meet at one point called a vertex.Alternate interior angles are formed when a transversal passes through two lines. The angles that are formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines are alternate interior angles. The Alternate Interior Angles theorem states, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.

In above question, sides are equal and so alternate interior angles are equal i.e. 2x + 10° = 62° ⇒ 2x = 52° ⇒ x =26°

∴ range of values of x is 25°<x<27°
