X + 8 = 0.5
Take away 8 from both sides:
x = 0.5 - 8
x = -7.5
Answer: x = -7.5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic is:

To complete the square, the a (leading coefficient) must be 1 and there can only be terms with variables on one side.
The expression given:

follows these rules. Next, we divide the b (linear coefficient) by 2, then square it. Basically:

The b in the expression is -18.


This is the number that is added.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...
Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.
If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:
which simplifies a bit to
and a bit more to

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get
which of course simplifies to
-3. Choice A.
