Solve by completing the square. h2 + 24h + 19 = 0

Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.

-23.18, -0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

-23.18, -.82

Step-by-step explanation:

h^2 + 24h + 19 = 0

Subtract 19 from each side

h^2 +24h = -19

Take the coefficient of h

24

Divide by 2

24/2 =12

Square it

12^2 =144

Add this to both sides

h^2 +24h+144 = -19+144

(h+12)^2 =125

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((h+12)^2) =±sqrt(125)

h+12 = ±sqrt(125)

Subtract 12 from each side

h+12-12 = -12 ±sqrt(125)

h =-12 ±sqrt(125)

h = -12 - sqrt(125) = -23.18033989

h = -12 + sqrt(125) = -.819660113

To the nearest hundredth

-23.18, -.82

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
