Answer:

  "complete the square" to put in vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be helpful to consider the square of a binomial:

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²

The expression x² +x +1 is in the standard form of the expression on the right above. Comparing the coefficients of x, we see ...

  2a = 1

  a = 1/2

That means we can write ...

  (x +1/2)² = x² +x +1/4

But we need x² +x +1, so we need to add 3/4 to the binomial square in order to make the expressions equal:

  x^2+x+1\\\\=(x^2+x+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{3}{4}\\\\=(x+\frac{1}{2})^2+\frac{3}{4}

_____

Another way to consider this is ...

  x² +bx +c

  = x² +2(b/2)x +(b/2)² +c -(b/2)² . . . . . . rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²*

  = (x +b/2)² +(c -(b/2)²)

for b=1, c=1, this becomes ...

  x² +x +1 = (x +1/2)² +(1 -(1/2)²)

  = (x +1/2)² +3/4

_____

* This process, "rewrite bx, add and subtract (b/2)²," is called "completing the square"—especially when written as (x-h)² +k, a parabola with vertex (h, k).

The formula for the distance, d, an accelerating car can travel is d = 5.6t square. how many minutes, t, doe the car take to tra
Likurg_2 [28]
Your distance(d) is 1,814.4
1814.4 m = 5.6t square
then you square root 5.6t
\sqrt{1814.4} = \sqrt{ {5.6t}^{2} }
the square root eliminates the square
\sqrt{1814.4} = 5.6t
you square root 1,814.4 m
42.6 = 5.6t
(I rounded 42.6) then divide 42.6 by 5.6
7.6 = t
(I rounded 7.6)

stepan [7]

Answer:

z=3.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the triangle XYZ

Applying the law of sines

\frac{2.6}{sin(51^o)}=\frac{z}{sin(76^o)}

solve for z

z=\frac{2.6}{sin(51^o)}sin(76^o)

z=3.2\ units
