1) You must add 4 to each side to complete the square.
2) You must add 16 to each side to complete the square.
3) You must add 27 to each side to complete the square.
Explanation:
1) x²-4x=0
To find the number that we add to both sides, we look at b, the cofficient of x. It is -4. We divide it by 2 and square it; -4/2 = -2; (-2)² = 4. This is the value that we add to both sides.
2) x²-8x=6
-8/2 = -4; (-4)²=16
We add 16 to each side to complete the square.
3) 3x²+18x=24
First we can factor a 3 out of the left side:
3(x²+6x) = 24
Our b value is now 6. 6/2 = 3; 3²=9. The 9 would, however, go in the parentheses, so it would be multiplied by 3, which makes 27; this means we would add 27 to both sides.
f(x)=lnx
y=f(x)
dy/dx= 1/x
tangent at (x,y) has slope 1/x
eqn of tangent is y = mx + c
since the tangent passes through origin, c=0
substitute y = lnx and m= 1/x to above eqn
lnx = 1
x=e
y=lne=1
Answer:
C.

.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent the cost of one packet of radish seeds and let t represent the cost of one packet of tomato seeds.
Roman spent $62.75
This implies that,

Roman bought 32 packets of seeds and one packet of radish seeds costs
$ 1.75.
One packet of tomato seeds costs $ 2.50.
This implies that,

Using guess and check means we substitute into the given equation.
A) We substitute

into both equations.



Both equations are not satisfied.
B)
We substitute

into both equations.



Both equations are not satisfied.
C)
We substitute

into both equations.



Both equations are satisfied.
Hence the solution is,

D) We substitute

into both equations.



Both equations are not satisfied.
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

120 cupcakes
Even # rows
Odd # columns
12: 1, 2,3,4,6, 12 (integers?)
I see only one arrangement with odd column & even rows
3 columns, 40 rows
That's mainly because 120 is an even number.
