Completing the sqaure
x^2+14x+34

-7-√15

Step-by-step explanation:

First move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign

x^2+14x=-34

Then add (14/2)^2 or 7^2 to both sides

x^2+14x+49=-34+49

Then factor the expression

(x+7)^2=-34+49

Then solve (x+7)^2=15

You should get:

x=-√15-7

or

x=√15-7

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
