faltersainse [42]3 years ago
5 0

if you know complex numbers:


sqrt (-40)

sqrt(-1) * sqrt(40)

sqrt(-1) * sqrt(4) * sqrt(10)

i * 2 * sqrt(10)

2i *sqrt(10)


If you do not know complex numbers:

it cannot be simplified because it is negative

no real solution

Answer: 2<em>i</em> \sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify the square root of -40, think of the square root of -40 as the square root of -1 × the square root of 40.

The square root of -1 can be represented by the imaginary number <em>i</em>. So we have <em>i</em> × the square root of 40 or <em>i</em> \sqrt{40}.

Next, root 40 breaks down breaks down to 2 root 10. We can see this by setting up a factor tree for 40. 40 is 2 x 20, 20 is 2 x 10, and 10 is 2 x 5. We have a pair of 2's in our factor tree and we have 2 x 5 at the bottom.

So we have <em>i</em> x 2 root 10 or 2<em>i</em> \sqrt{10}.

Answer:

D-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use elimination to get the value of y. Move numbers to one side and x and ys to the other side. To use elimination, multiply the first equation with 2. You will get 2x+2y=24. add it with the equation below. y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x. X=10. Plug in x and get the y value. Y=2

An investor invested a total of $2,800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 3% profit. If the i
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%

y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%

we know that

x+y=2,800 ----> y=2,800-x ----> equation A

5\%=5/100=0.05

3\%=3/100=0.03

0.05x+0.03y=104 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

0.05x+0.03(2,800-x)=104

Solve for x

0.05x+84-0.03x=104

0.05x-0.03x=104-84

0.02x=20

x=\$1,000

<em>Find the value of y</em>

y=2,800-x

y=2,800-1,000=\$1,800

therefore

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Which equation represents the graph of the linear function?
marusya05 [52]
By looking at the graph you can rule out choices C and D because the graph given to you is an increasing linear function and C and D represent functions with a decreasing or negative slope. 

By looking at the picture the slop of the graph seems to be 4/1 (rise/run) so your slope is 4. And your y-intercept looks like its -4 so your answer is B<span />

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged $65 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $90 per hour. The mechan
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

First mechanic worked 20 hours and second mechanic worked 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours the first mechanic worked = a

Let the number of hours the second mechanic worked = b

Therefore, we can write 2 equations and then solve them simultaneously:

a+b=25

65a+90b=1750

Rearranging the first equation: a=25-b

and substituting into the second equation to find b:

65(25-b)+90b=1750

1625-65b+90b=1750\\&#10;25b=125\\&#10;b=5

Now sub b=5 into the first equation to find a

a+5=25\\&#10;a=20

Therefore, first mechanic (a) worked 20 hours and second mechanic (b) worked 5 hours
