Fill in the blank with a number to make the expression a perfect square.
u^2- 18u +

u^2- 18u +81 = (u-9)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

u^2- 18u +

Take the u coefficient

-18

Divide by 2

-18/2 = -9

Square it

(-9)^2 = 81

u^2- 18u +81 = (u-9)^2

The blank should contain 81

Step-by-step explanation:

E = u^2 - 18u + (-18/2)^2

E = (u^2 - 18u + 9^2)

E = (u - 9)^2

To be perfectly correct what you have there is a perfect square, but you need to subtract out (9/2)^2 to make it a valid statement.

E = (u - 9)^2 - 81

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.

answer: 230 miles ( vote ! )

step-by-step explanation:

180.39 minus 17.99 equals 162.4

then divide 162.4 by .80 to get 230
