Find the values of p and q such that 4x^2+12x=4(x+p)^2-q

p = 1.5 and q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side then compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is

4(x + p)² - q ← expand (x + p)² using FOIL

= 4(x² + 2px + p²) - q ← distribute parenthesis

= 4x² + 8px + 4p² - q

Comparing coefficients of like terms on both sides

8p = 12 ( coefficients of x- terms ) ← divide both sides by 8

p = 1.5

4p² - q = 0 ( constant terms ), that is

4(1.5)² - q = 0

9 - q = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- q = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

q = 9

rectangle: 9 1/8 x 4 1/9 = 37 37/72in

parallelogram: b times h= 10.3 x 6.2 = 63.86

trapezoid: a+b/2 times h= 42.5

volume of prism: l times w times h= 36

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.
