18 + 81 = 9(x²<span> + 6x + 9)

When we are completing the square, we are going to move the value of c across the equals. We will do that by adding, and end up with
18=9(x²+6x)
We take the value of b (the coefficient of x), divide it by 2 and square it:
(6/2)²=3²=9
This is the value that completes the square. However, since the entire square is multiplied by 9, this value must be multiplied by 9 before we can add it across the equals:
18+9(9) = 9(x²+6x+9)
18+81=9(x²+6x+9)
99=9(x²+6x+9)
Dividing both sides by 9, we have:
11=x²+6x+9
11=(x+3)²

3/4d represents the money saved on a pillow
You can find the dimensions of the model and plug them into the formula for volume (length x width x height)
Mean, in terms of math, is the total added values of all the data in a set divided by the number of data <em>in</em> the set. Make sense? If not, here' an example...
Let's say this is my data set:
1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 8, 7, 4, 6,10
To find the mean...
Step 1: Add all of them together.
1+2+5+4+3+8+7+4+6+10 is what? 50. Now that you have this number...
Step 2: Divide by the amount there are. Basically, count up all of the numbers. How many are there? There are 10. Finally...
Step 3: Divide. 50/10 is 5, so the mean of this data set would be 5. Get it? I sure hoped this helped :)
