Answer:

  • 5(x +1.5)^2
  • 10(x +1)^2
  • 1/4(x +2)^2
  • 3(x +5/6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...

  a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2

This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.

a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2

b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2

c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2

d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.

A pilot can travel 450 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the wind
Lunna [17]

Given:

A pilot can travel 450 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind.

Pilot's speed in still air is 315 miles per hour.

To find:

The speed of the wind.

Solution:

Let the speed of wind be x miles per hour.

Speed with wind = 315+x miles per hour

Speed against wind = 315-x miles per hour

We know that,

Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

According to the question,

\dfrac{450}{315+x}=\dfrac{360}{315-x}

Divide both sides by 90.

\dfrac{5}{315+x}=\dfrac{4}{315-x}

By cross multiplication, we get

5(315-x)=4(315+x)

5(315)-5x=4(315)+4x

5(315)-4(315)=4x+5x

(5-4)315=9x

Divide both sides by 9.

\dfrac{(1)315}{9}=x

35=x

Therefore, the speed of wind is 35 miles per hour.

An orchard owner wants to plant 64 cherry tree seedlings and 96 peach tree seedlings in rows. Each row is to have the same numbe
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Given:

cherry tree seedlings : 64

peach tree seedlings : 96

64/96 : Simplify this fraction

64 / 8 = 8 / 4 = 2

96 / 8 = 12 / 4 = 3

2 and 3 number of seedlings per row

64 / 2 = 32

96 / 3 = 32

number of rows

The maximum number of rows that the owner can plant is 32 rows with 2 cherry tree seedlings and 3 peach tree seedlings.
