Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize using square root method.

x² - 2x + 2 = (x-a)² + b

x² -2x + 1 + 1 = (x-a)²+b

(x² - 2*x*1 + 1²) + 1 = (x -a)²+ b       {Compare with a²- 2ab+b² which is (a - b)²}

(x - 1)² + 1 = (x - a)² + b

a = 1 and b = 1

prisoha [69]

Answer:

So the number of total combinations is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Ellen must take 4 courses this semester. She has a list of 3 math courses and 4 science courses.  

Therefore, she have total 7 courses.  

So, we calculate the number of combinations to choose 4 out of 7  courses.

We get:

C_4^7=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=35\\

So the number of total combinations is 35.

The equation y−5=−2(x−3) is in point-slope form. Which shows this equation in slope-intercept form?
MAXImum [283]

y - 5 = -2(x - 3)

Distribute -2.


y - 5 = -2x + 6

Add 5 to both sides.


y = -2x + 11

B) y = -2x + 11

Your family goes to a Southern-style restaurant for dinner. There are 7 people in your family. Some order the chicken dinner for
butalik [34]

Answer:

a) 4 people ordered streak dinner

b) 3 people ordered chicken dinner

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people that ordered steak dinner be x

and the number of people that ordered chicken dinner be y

From the question,

There are 7 people in your family

Hence, we can write that

x + y = 7 ...... (1)

Also from the question

Some order the chicken dinner for $13 and some order the steak dinner for $18 and the total bill was $111.

We can then write that

13y + 18x = 111 ...... (2)

From equation (1)

x + y = 7

Then,

x = 7 - y ...... (3)

Put this into equation (2)

13y + 18x = 111

13y + 18(7 - y) = 111

13y + 126 - 18y = 111

-5y = -15

5y = 15

y = 15 / 5

y = 3

Put the value of y into equation (3) to get x

x = 7 - y

Then

x = 7 - 3

x = 4

Hence, 4 people ordered streak dinner

and 3 people ordered chicken dinner

a) 4 people ordered streak dinner

b) 3 people ordered chicken dinner

What type of roots will you have if the discriminant is: 36
Paul [167]

Answer:

2 real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discriminant is any positive number, that means the quadratic will have 2 real roots, or solutions.

Since the discriminant, 36, is a positive number, this will apply.

So, if the discriminant is 36, there will be 2 real roots.
