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

Mathematics

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
3 0

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

What is the slope intercept form of the equation for the line that has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 3?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 2 and c = 3, hence

y = - 2x + 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

n a competitive exam of 40 questions, +3 is awarded for a correct answer and -1 for every wrong answer. Find the total score if a student had 11 wrong answers in his attempt of all questions.

Answers gotten wrong = 11

answers gotten right = 40 - 11 = 29

total score = (point for correct answer x number of correct answer) +  (point for wrong answer x number of wrong answer)

(+3 x 29) + (-1 x 11) = 76

Sidana [21]

Answer:

$21.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.

He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers

Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.

Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25

= $26

He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.

Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10

= $52.5

Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:

Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)

= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)

= $100 - $78.50

= $21.50
