Add to each side x2 – 8x = 9 to complete the square.

The correct answer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a quadratic equation,

x² – 8x = 9

To find the number to be added

The given equation be  x² – 8x = 9

here we have to add (b/2)² -  the square of half the coefficient of x,

Here b = -8

(b/2)² = (-8/2)² = -4² = 16

Add both side with 16

x² – 8x + 16  = 9 + 16

(x - 4)² = 25

(x - 4)² = 5²

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the completing square method to find make the expression a perfect square.

(b/2)²=ac where a and b are coefficients of x² and x respectively while c is a constant.

= (-8/2)²=16

We add 16 to both sides and the expression becomes a perfect square.

d. 9

step-by-step explanation:

in the table given in the picture, x is the input of the function and f(x) is the output on the given input. in the given table, it can be read as the value of function at -3 is it's respective value of f(x) which is -9.

as we have to find the value of f(3), we will see that what is the value of output on input 3. we can see in the table that the output value at x=3 is 9.

so, option d is the correct answer ..
