PLS HELP! solve by completing the square x²+4x=8

Mathematics
1 answer:
masya89 [10]2 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)

[10 points] A manufacturer wants to design an open box having a square base and a surface area of 108 square inches. What dimens
MissTica

Answer:

  6 inches square by 3 inches high

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given surface area, the volume of an open-top box is maximized when it has the shape of half a cube. If the area were than of the whole cube, it would be 216 in² = 6×36 in².

That is, the bottom is 6 inches square, and the sides are 3 inches high.

_____

Let x and h represent the base edge length and box height, respectively. Then we have ...

  x² +4xh = 108 . . . . box surface area

Solving for height, we get ...

  h = (108 -x²)/(4x) = 27/x -x/4

The volume is the product of base area and height, so is ...

  V = x²h = x²(27/x -x/4) = 27x -x³/4

We want to maximize the volume, so we want to set its derivative to zero.

  dV/dx = 0 = 27 -(3/4)x²

  x² = (4/3)(27) = 36

  x = 6

  h = 108/x² = 3

The box is 6 inches square and 3 inches high.

_____

<em>Comment on maximum volume, minimum area</em>

In the general case of<em> an open-top box</em>, the volume is maximized when the cost of the bottom and the cost of each pair of opposite sides is the same. Here, the "cost" is simply the area, so the area of the bottom is 1/3 the total area, 36 in².

If the box has a <em>closed top</em>, then each pair of opposite sides will have the same cost for a maximum-volume box. If costs are uniform, the box is a cube.

What is the experimental probability a quarterback will complete his next pass if he has completed 30 of his last 40 passes?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the quarterback has completed 30 of 40 passes. This means that the ratio of completed passes to total passes is 30:40. Converting this to a fraction, we get 30/40, which can be simplified to 3/4. 3/4 as a percentage is 75%. Therefore, the final answer is 75%.
