When a trinomial is factored as (x + p)(x + q), what is the sum of p and q? a. the constant term of the trinomial b. the coefficient of the x-term of the trinomial c. the coefficient of the x2-term of the trinomial d. the degree of the trinomial

Write the following as a base and exponent

The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x by completing the square are shown. 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x 9x2 + 54x = 22 9(x2 + 6x) = 22 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 25 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 49 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 31 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 103

If you answer 2+2 you will get over 80 points
