(x - 5i√2)(x +5i√2)
given the roots of a polynomial p(x), say x = a and x = b
then the factors are (x - a)(x - b)
and p(x) is the product of the factors ⇒ p(x) = (x - a)(x - b)
here x² + 50 = 0 ⇒ x² = - 50 → ( set = 0 for roots)
take the square root of both sides
x = ± √-50 = ± √(25 × 2 × -1) = √25 × √2 × √-1 = ± 5i√2
The roots are x = ± 5i√2
thus the factors are ( x - ( - 5i√2)) and (x - (+5i√2))
x² + 50 = (x + 5i√2)(x - 5i√2)
Same thing as what you did on the bottom. Find numbers with both 7 as the base and numbers that add to 14 on the top. Possibilities:
1) 7^10•7^4
2)7^6•7^8
37^2•7^12
The answer is 78 because when you add all the numbers it equals 780 and you need to divide the end sum by the amount of numbers added to get it. So in the end there were 10 numbers added to equal 780 so 780\10 equals 78
