Answer:
x = 2 ± 2 sqrt(5)i
Step-by-step explanation:
(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0
Subtract 20 from each side
(x – 2)^2 + 20 -20=0 -20
(x – 2)^2 =- 20
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x – 2)^2) =±sqrt(- 20)
x-2 = ±sqrt(- 20)
We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
x-2 = ±sqrt(- 1) sqrt(20)
We know the sqrt (-1) = i
x-2 = ±i sqrt(4*5)
x-2 = ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = 2 ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)
x = 2 ±i 2 sqrt(5)
x = 2 ± 2 sqrt(5)i
Let us say that:
a = black kittens
b = white kittens
We know that:
a = 5 b
a + b = 25
Therefore:
5 b + b = 25
6 b = 25
b = 4.17
But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of
kittens, so round off:
b = 4
So a is:
a = 25 – 4 = 21
