Answer:
- 5(x +1.5)^2
- 10(x +1)^2
- 1/4(x +2)^2
- 3(x +5/6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...
a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2
This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.
a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2
b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2
c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2
d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.
Answer:
4x²+x+5.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x²+4x+1-(X²+3x-4).
5x²+4x+1-x²-3x+4.
5x²-x²+4x-3x+1+4.
4x²+x+5.
Answer:
Power is the zero at the end of the number like this 56 small 0 at the top right
Step-by-step explanation: Its not just the zero its whatever number is divided by the power it cant go past 50
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pencils = 48
Total erasers = 72
If we put 1 pencil and 1.5 eraser in each pouch then total pouches = 48 pouches
