What equation results from completing the square and then factoring? x2 + 10X = 15

Mathematics

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

Answer:

C) (x + 5)² = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, x² + 10x = 15:

To complete the square, take the coefficient of the middle term (b), and divide it by 2<em>a</em>:

x² + 10x + [\frac{b}{2a}]^{2}  = 15 + [\frac{b}{2a}]^{2}

x² + 10x + [\frac{10}{2}]^{2}  = 15 + [\frac{10}{2}]^{2}  

x² + 10x + 5²  = 15 + 5²

x² + 10x + 25 = 40

The trinomial on the left-hand side of the equation provides a perfect square binomial factors: <em>u</em>² + 2<em>uv</em> + v² = (<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>)²

x² + 10x + 25 = 40

(x + 5)²  = 40

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C)  (x + 5)²  = 40

1. Bill decided to buy six books on history instead
bulgar [2K]

Answer: 2/3 books on politics

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.

Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.

= Number of politics books / Number of history  books

= 4 / 6

= 2/3 books on politics

<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>

Gina has a jar of marbles that contains 7 blue marbles, 5 red marbles, and 8 green marbles. She randomly selects a marble, recor
BigorU [14]

The probability that Gina randomly selected two red marbles is 1/19

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total number of marbles = 7 + 5 + 8

                                          = 20

The probability of getting two red marbles in the fraction form is given as:

P(first red marble) = number of red marbles / total number of marbles

P(first red marble) = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}

P(second red marble) = number of red marbles after 1 white marble is removed / total number of marbles after 1 red marble is removed.

P(first red marble) = \frac{4}{19}

P(two red marbles) = P(first) X P(second)

                              = \frac{1}{4} X \frac{4}{19}

                              = \frac{1}{19}

Therefore, the probability that Gina randomly selected two red marbles is 1/19

A red candle is 8 inches tall and burns at a rate of 7/10 inch per hour. a blue cans is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of 1/5
Galina-37 [17]
Let t = number of hours

The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t

The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t

You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
