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).

X^3 times x^? equals to x^17 <br><br> what’s the missing exponent?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

  14

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

__

You have ...

  (x^3)(x^a) = x^17

  x^(3+a) = x^17

Equating exponents, we get ...

  3 +a = 17

  a = 14

The missing exponent is 14.

Simone measures the width of one of cardboard strip as 1/2 yard. A second cardboard strip measures 5/6 yard in width. Estimate t
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Simone measures the width of one of cardboard strip as 1/2 yard.

A second cardboard strip measures 5/6 yard in width.

We need to find the combined width.

The combined width of the cardboard strip:

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{6}=\frac{8}{6}=1\frac{1}{3}

1\frac{1}{3} is closer to1\frac{1}{4} as compare to 1\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.
