(x + a)^2 + b form can be achieved by a method known as completing the square.

Step 1: Divide the b term by 2 and square it

8 / 2 = 4

4^2 = 16

Step 2: Add and subtract 16 from the expression

---Adding 16 creates a perfect square trinomial between x^2 + 8x + 16. But, if we add 16, we also need to subtract it. So, we will subtract 16 from our c term, 14.

x^2 + 8x + 16 + 14 - 16

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 2

Step 3: Factor the perfect square trinomial

(x^2 + 8x + 16) - 2

(x + 4)(x + 4) - 2

(x + 4)^2 - 2

Answer: (x + 4)^2 - 2

Hope this helps! :)

A ship is carrying gold bars and silver bars in the ratio 13:17. The ship's load
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.
