<u>Given</u>:
The height of the bird at time t is given by the function
We need to determine the time it takes the worm to be eaten by the bird.
<u>Time taken:</u>
The time can be determined by substituting h(t) = 0 in the function.
Thus, we have;
Switch sides, we get;
Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.
Thus, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
The values of t are given by
and
and
and
Since, the value of t cannot be negative, then
Thus, the time taken by the bird to eat the worm is seconds.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
Question: What value of c will complete the square below () and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Answer: c = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of .
To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.
Dividing by on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
