Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x = 3

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16

(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{19} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{19}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-8x=3

add (-4)² or 16

x²-8x+16=3+16

(x-4)²=19

x-4=±√19

x=4±√19

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

the speed of two insects equal the same speed when rounded to the nearest whole number; dragonfly:6.974 ;horsefly:3.934 ;bumbleb
Goryan [66]
Am presuming you are looking for the two insects.

In rounding up to nearest whole number, you look at the number before the decimal point, if the number after that is 5 or more, you add up one extra to the digit before the decimal point.

When you round up bumblebee 2.861 to the nearest whole number you have 3.

When you round up honeybee 2.548 to the nearest whole number you have 3.

The two insects are bumblebee and honeybee.

No other two are equal when rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Alexus [3.1K]
Given:

6 out of 2000 students quit community college due to serious health issues.
$10,000 insurance company offer
$60 per year

Based on the data, there are 6 students who will be given the $10,000 insurance per year. So they need

6 * 10,000 = $60,000 to make a break-even on their insurance offer

If a student pays $60 per year, they should have

$60,000 / $60 = 1,000 students who will pay per year to reach the break-even mark of their investment. If the number of students will exceed 1,000, the company will begin to earn.
