complete the square: y=x^2-6x+7

I am not certain of what you are bieing asked to do but this is what I would assume

subtract 7 off both sides
y-7 = x^2-6x

The x co-efficient is -6
(-6/2) ² = 3 ² = 9
add 9 to both sides

y-7+9 = x^2 - 6x +9

y+2 = (x-3) ²

Not sure but this is what I think

Part One = INT[SQRT(Plaintext)]
Part Two = Plaintext – {INT[SQRT(Plaintext)]}^2
-------------------------------------
If plain text = 28 then
sqrt28=5.29...
INT(5.29) = 5 (I assume INT stands for integer part)

28 - (5squared) = 3
--------------------------------------

If plaintext = 123456 then
sqrt123456 = 351.36...
INT(351.36..)=351

123456 - (351squared) = 255
--------------------------------------------

INT[SQRT(123456)]

=INT 351.36

=351

I am assuming int stands for integer

Well, if you can't explain your question, how can anybody answer it?

Bueno, si no puedes explicar tu pregunta, ¿cómo puede alguien responderla?

whats the ratio of 4.63 to 8,21 in fraction form

4.63:8.21
463:821

This can be transformed to 463/821 if you just want to use it in most maths problems but

I think it is more correct to say
463/(463+821) = 463/1284

I happy to hear more thoughts on this.

an example
There are 3 boys and 5 girls in a room
The ratio of boys to girls is 3:5
The fraction of the children that are boys is 3/8

The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/4 full. After pouring 10 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold

2/3 - 1/4 = 5/12

So 5/12 of the container is 10 gallons

One method
1/12 of the container is 10/5 gallons
12/12 of the container is (10/5)*12 = 24 gallons

another method
Let the total be X gallons
5/12 * X = 10
Mult both sides by 12 and divide both sides by 5 and you get
X = 10*12/5 = 24 gallons
