Rewrite x2 − 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values. a = 4 and b = 3 a = 3 and b = 2 a = 2 and b = 1 a = 1 and b = 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The completing the square method is important when transforming a quadratic equation to [tex](x - a)^2 =b[/tex] form. The values of a and b are 4 and 3

Given:

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 13 = 0[/tex]

Subtract 13 from both sides

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 13 -13= 0-13[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x= -13[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Next, we perform the following operations

Take the coefficient (k) of x

[tex]k = -8[/tex]

Divide k by 2

[tex]k/2 = -8/2[/tex]

[tex]k/2 = -4[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex](k/2)^2 = (-4)^2[/tex]

[tex](k/2)^2 = 16[/tex]

Back to the equation, we add 16 to both sides

-------------------------------------------------------------

[tex]x^2 - 8x= -13[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 +16[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 16 =3[/tex]

Expand the left-hand side

[tex]x^2 - 4x -4x+ 16 =3[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]x(x - 4) -4(x- 4) =3[/tex]

Factor out x -4

[tex](x - 4) (x- 4) =3[/tex]

Express as squares

[tex](x - 4)^2 =3[/tex]

Given that:

[tex](x - a)^2 =b[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]a =4;\ b =3[/tex]

The values of a and b are 4 and 3, respectively.

regular octagon rotates 360° about its center. How many times does the image of the octagon coincide with the preimage during the rotation?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because A regular octagon is a closed figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. so if it is rotated 360 degrees it should coincide with its preimage after every 45 degrees.

so 360/45= 8 times

Answer:

8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

An octagon has eight sides of equal length and eight angles of same measure. So, If it is rotated 360 degrees about its center. It would coincide with all of its 8 sides. So, it will coincide with it's pre-image 8 times.

Cynthia earns $680 in commissions and is paid $10.25 per hour. Javier earns $410 in commissions and is paid 12.50 per hour. What will you find if you solve for x in the equation 10.25x + 680 = 12.5x +410.

Answers

Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

10.25x + 680 = 12.5x +410.

Subtract 10.25x from each side

10.25x-10.25x + 680 = 12.5x-10.25x +410.

680 = 2.25x +410

Subtract 410 from each side

680-410 = 2.25x +410-410

270 = 2.25x

Divide each side by 2.25

270/2.25 =2.25x/2.25

120=x

Find the distance from the point (1,4) to the line y = 1/3x - 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm not mistaken, and I very well could be, this is a calculus problem(?). In order to find the distance without calculus you'd need a point on the given line to use to find the distance in the distance formula. But you don't have a point on the given line, so we can find the shortest distance between the point (1, 4) and the given line using the derivative of the polynomial formed when using the distance formula.

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex] and we have the x and y for x2 (or x1...it doesn't matter which you choose to fill in):

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

but what we find is that we have too many unknowns here, namely, the distance, the x coordinate, and the y coordinate. So we can replace the y coordinate with what y is equal to in terms of the linear equation:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(4-\frac{1}{3}x-3)^2 }[/tex] and simplify:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(7-\frac{1}{3}x)^2 }[/tex]

. No we'll expand each binomial by squaring:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(1-2x+x^2)+(49-\frac{14}{3}x+\frac{1}{9}x^2) }[/tex]

.  Combining like terms gives us

[tex]d=\sqrt{\frac{10}{9}x^2-\frac{20}{3}x+50 }[/tex]

The distance between the point (1, 4) and the given line will be at a minimum when the polynomial above is at a minimum. We find the value of x for which the polynomial is at a minimum by finding its derivative, setting the derivative equal to 0, and then solving for x. The derivative of the polynomial is

[tex]\frac{20}{9}x-\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

Setting equal to 0 and getting rid of the denominators gives us

20x - 60 = 0

Solving for x gives us

20x = 60 and x = 3.

That's the value of x that gives us the shortest distance between (1, 4) and the line y = 1/3x - 3. Sub into the distance formula that x value to find the distance:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(\frac{10}{9})(3)^2-(\frac{20}{3})(3)+50 }[/tex]

which simplifies down, finally, to

x ≈ 6.325 units

Answers

Answer: The equation would NOT help us solve for the length and width of the classroom is "[tex]x + 2y = 90[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the width of the rectangular classroom floor and x be the length of the rectangular classroom floor .

Given ,

The perimeter of a rectangular classroom floor is 90 feet.

The length of the floor is twice the  width.

i.e. Length =2 (width)

i.e. x= 2y ..(i)

Also, perimeter = 2(length+width)

[tex]i.e. 2(x+y)=90\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x+2y=90[/tex]

When we put value of x from (i), we get

[tex]2(2y) + 2y = 90[/tex]

Hence, the equation would NOT help us solve for the length and width of the classroom is "[tex]x + 2y = 90[/tex]".
