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:
_____
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).
the answer is 7 feet and 5 inches
is the equation best represents the line.
Solution:
Take any two points on the line.
Let the points be (0, –4) and (4, 7).
General form of equation of a line is y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.
<em>y-intercept is the point which line crosses at y-axis.</em>
In the given line, y-intercept is 4.
c = 4
Slope of the line:
Equation of the line:
y = mx + c
Hence is the equation best represents the line.
Answer:
Meaning of Explicit rule , is the general rule for a sequence.
The given sequence is defined as,
----(1)
Common Difference(d) of an airthmetic Sequence= N th term - (N-1) th term
Equation 1 can be written as,
General rule or explicit rule for this sequence is given as:

|____________________Boat
350 ft (b)
Pythagorean theorem
a-squared + b-squared = c-squared
400-squared + 350-squared = c-squared
160,000 + 122,500 = c- squared
282,500 = c-squared
Now take the square root of each side of the equation
531.5 = c
The length of the rope is 531.5 feet
