Answer:

To complete the square, you always want to add [tex](\frac{a}{2} )^{2}[/tex], where a is the coefficient of x.

In this case, the coefficient of x is -1.

Thus,

[tex]y=x^2-x+1[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2-x+(\frac{-1}{2})^2 +1-(\frac{-1}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]y=(x-\frac{1}{2})^2+1-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y=(x-\frac{1}{2})^2+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

3 years

Step by step explanation

Interest = 1740 - 1200

= 540

SI = prt/100

540 = 1200*15*t/100

540 = 12*15*t

540 = 180*t

t = 540/180

t = 3 yrs

Answer:

Number of comic books is 75.

Original price of each comic book is 4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 75 comics in the box originally.

An equation is the statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers.

Given that, Tayla purchased a large box of comic books for $300. She gave 15 of the comic books to her brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330, making a profit of $1.50 on each one.

Let x be the number of comics originally

(x - 15) is the number of comics sold.

Original price of each comic = 300/x

Price of comics which she gave to brother = 15*300/x

Original price of all the books that has been sold  = 300 - 15*300/x

Tayla's profit = 330 - (300 - 15*300/x) = 30 + 15*300/x

Number of comics sold = (30 + 15*300/x)/1.5

Equation will be,

(30 + 15*300/x)/1.5 = x - 15

20 + 3000/x = x - 15

(x² - 15x - 3000)/x = 20

x² - 35x - 3000 = 0

On factorizing the quadratic equation, we get,

x = 75 or -40 (Neglecting -40, because number of books can't be negative)

Hence, there were 75 comic books in the box originally.

$28.89 , hope that helped , have a good day :D !!

The answer for the first question is A

The answer the second question is D

Step-by-step explanation:

so, let's look at the options.

A. (x+3)/x = 3

that hurts already by just looking at it.

but let's check anyway :

x + 3 = 3x

3 = 2x

and that is only true for one value of x (3/2), but not in general.

so, this is wrong.

B. (x²+5)/5 = x² + 1

x² + 5 = 5x² + 5

x² = 5x²

that is only true for one value of x (0), but not in general.

so, this is wrong.

C. (2x+7)/(2x+9) = 7/9

9(2x+7) = 7(2x+9)

18x + 63 = 14x + 63

4x = 0

that is only true for one value of x (0), but not in general.

so, this is wrong.

D. (-5x - 10)/(x+2) = -5

-5x - 10 = -5(x + 2) = -5x - 10

now this is true in all cases, so this is correct.

make simple :

(a² - 4a + 4) / (a² - 4)

with a little bit of experience you see right away that

a² - 4a + 4 = (a - 2)²

as we know from the generic squaring

(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b² : a perfect fit.

and

(a² - 4) = (a + 2)(a - 2)

as we know from the generic factor multiplying

(a+b)(a-b) = a² + ab - ab - b² = a² - b² : a perfect fit.

so, the given expression is actually

(a - 2)² / ((a - 2)(a + 2)) = ((a-2)(a-2)) / ((a-2)(a+2))

and so, after eliminating one (a-2) term in the numerator and in the denominator the following remains :

(a - 2) / (a + 2)

and that is answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

r and t are same- side exterior angles and sum to 180 , so

t + r = 180 , that is

t + 91 = 180 ( subtract 91 from both sides )

t = 89

t and u are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , so

u = t = 91

Then

t + u = 89 + 89 = 178 → a

AAS Congruence Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

the lines in the angle show similarity. so angle FGJ= angle HJG, similarly, angle F= angle H.GJ is the same as JG so this side of both triangles is congruent. since the order of congruency is the same (triangle GHJ: angle H, angle HJG, then JG; triangle JFG: angle F, angle FGJ, then GJ) and the congruent side length isn't between the congruent angles, it's AAS

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

As MTW and BGK are congruent

angle T = angle G

4x - 3 = 45

in triangle MTW

angle M = 180 - (T + W)

= 180  - (45 + 41)

= 180 - 86

= 94

and angle M = B

11y + 6 = 94

11y = 94 - 6

11y = 88

y = 8
