(a) Using the completing the square method, we need to write into the form of where , so
Expand to find the value of c
Notice that we get back the first two terms, the and the .We need to get rid of the last term of '9' as the term was not in the original form. The final form will look like
Hence,
(b)
(c) , square root both sides plus and minus of 2 Hence
Take second equation here,
2x + 9 = -12
2x = -12 - 9
2x = -21
Multiply by 2,
4x = -42
Now, substitute the vaue of 4x in 1st equation,
-42 - y = 2
-y = 2 + 42
y = -44
In short, Your Answer would be -44
Hope this helps!
C2 + a2 +2 = b
Would be the new formula
8*40 = 320 * 2 = $640 for the 2 workers
640/2000 = 0.32
labor cost is 32% of the revenue
