Question
Rewrite p(x) by completing the square. -900 is wring as shown in the picture.
The sum of the first and three times the second is 60.
Step 1
Let x be the first number and y be the second number. Write an equation describing the sum in this problem.
x +
3 y =
60
Step 2
Solve your equation in the previous step for y.
(60-x)
60 - x
y =
3
Step 3
The product P of the two numbers is xy. Use your result from the previous step to write the product as a
function of x only.
60-X
P(x) = x
(60-x)x
Step 4
Rewrite P(x) by completing the square.
P(x) = -1/3
- 30
-900
