Answer:
x² - 9x + 14 by completing the square is (x - 9/2)² - 25/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x² - 9x + 14
To rewrite by completing the square, we need to write this in the form (a + b)² or (a - b)² without changing the value of the expression.
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² (equation 1)
(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b² (equation 2)
x² - 9x + 14 = x² - 2(x)(9/2) + (9/2)² - 25/4 (equation 3)
Comparing (equation 3) with (equation 1) and (equation 2), we can see that it takes the form of (equation 1), though, surplus of 25/4, where a = x, and b = 9/2.
So
x² - 2(x)(9/2) + (9/2)² = x² - 2(x)(9/2) + 81/4 = (x - 9/2)²
Which means
x² - 9x + 14
= x² - 2(x)(9/2) + 81/4 - 25/4
= x² - 2(x)(9/2) + (9/2)² - 25/4
= (x - 9/2)² - 25/4
And the square is completed.
9^2 - 2^2 = 9*9 - 2*2= 81-4= 77
Answer:
<em><u>Junae</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>So, I am going to guess it is Junae because I wrote it in slope intercept form:</u></em>
y = -3/2x + 5/2
<em><u>Which means it wasn't already in that form? I hope I am right!</u></em>
We can make and use the equation: <em>A = 160( 1.03 )^y</em>: A = amount, 160 = amount put in, 1 + .03 = 1.03 = interest, and y as the number of years, as the money is compounded every year. (This is the compound interest equation, but I put in the numbers)
A) 160 * 1.03 = $164.80, 160 * 1.03² = $169.744 ≈ $169.74
B) 160 * 1.03⁵ = 185.48385 ≈ $185.48
The expression is the same as saying (((((160 * 1.03)1.03)1.03)1.03)1.03). This is like multiplying 160 * 1.03, which gives the amount for the first year. Then, that amount is multiplied by 1.03, which is the amount for the second year. This isi repeated until 5 years.
C) 160(1.03)³⁰
