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}.

5. What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1)?
just olya [345]

Answer:

Slope: -\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Use slope formula to find the slope

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2- x1}=\frac{4-1}{-2-7}=\frac{3}{-9} =-\frac{1}{3}

Therefore the slope of a line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1) is -\frac{1}{3}
