The polynomial is not factorable, so use the quadratic formula.
y^2 + 8y + 19 = 0
x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)
x = (-8 +- sqrt(8^2 - 4(1)(19))/(2 * 1)
x = (-8 +- sqrt(64 - 76))/2
x = (-8 +- sqrt(-12))/2
If you have not learned imaginary/complex numbers, then the answer is "No solution" since there is no real number solution.
If you have learned imaginary/complex numbers, then we'll continue.
x = (-8 +- 2i sqrt(3))/2
x = -4 +- i sqrt(3)
Jacob wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn,so he needs no fence on that side.
Let w be the width of the enclosure (perpendicular to the barn) and let l be the length of the enclosure (parallel to the barn).
one side of the length is not counted for perimeter because one side of length will be against the barn.
Perimeter = 400 ft
Perimeter of rectangle = L + W + W
400 = L + 2W
L = 400 - 2W
Area = L * W
Replace L by 400 - 2W
A(W) = (400 - 2W) * W
Now we find out x coordinate of vertex to find the width that maximize the area
a= -2 and b = 400
The width w would maximize the area is w = 100ft
To find maximum area we plug in 100 for W in A(W)
the maximum area is 20,000 square feet
The slope is the slope :D
Answer:
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.
x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.
Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.
y = x^2 - 6x - 8
y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
