The first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation, 0 = ax2 + bx + c, is shown.
step 1: –c = ax2 + bx
which best explains or justifies step 1?
a. subtraction property of equality
b. completing the square
c. factoring out the constant
d. zero property of multiplication

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you. the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α. part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part b suppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i.e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case. part c now try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?

The roof of a farm silo is the shape of a hemisphere and is made of sheet tin. if the diameter of the silo is 126.5 feet, how much sheet tin is needed to make the roof? (use π = 3.1416.)
