Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 9x
to complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 9x
= x² + 2(
)x + (
)²
= x² + 9x +
← the value of c
= (x +
)² ← a perfect square
Note the order of the letters:
A C E G
M N P R
You read it like this:
A ≅ M
C ≅ N
CE ≅ NP
AG ≅ MR
... and so on
In the following choices:
CE ≅ NP is the true statement
The second answer is D) it will increase 8 times
first we need to get rid of the ( ) so that we can see what the question really says
(3x³-5x² - 7+ 4x4) + (9x4 - 10x² - 5x³ + 3)
= 3x³-5x²-7+4x⁴+9x⁴-10x²-5x³+3
now all we need to do is add up the numbers with the same x's
<em>3x³</em>-5x²-7<u>+4x⁴+9x⁴</u>-10x²<em>-5x³</em>+3
= 13x⁴-2x³-15x²-4
