Rewrite the function by completing the square.
g(x) = 2x^2 – 7x + 5
g(x) =...(x+...)^2+...

2(x - )² -

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 7x + 5

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, thus factor out 2 from 2x² - 7x

= 2(x² - x ) + 5

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x

= 2(x² + 2(- )x + - ) + 5

= 2(x - )² - + 5

= 2(x - )² -

= 2(x - )² -

g(x) = 2(x - 1.75)^2 - 1.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 2x^2 – 7x + 5

First take the 2 out of the first  terms:

g(x) = 2(x^2 - 3.5x) + 5

Now complete the square on the expression in the parentheses:

g(x) = 2 [ (x - 1.75)^2 - 1.75^2] + 5

g(x) = 2 [ (x - 1.75)^2 - 3.0625] + 5

g(x) = 2(x - 1.75)^2 - 6.125 + 5

g(x) = 2(x - 1.75)^2 - 1.125.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
