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}.

Find the value of x. then tell whether the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple
timurjin [86]

Answer:

x = √226

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

In that case, plug in <em>a </em>and <em>b</em>,

15² + 1² = c²

c = √(15² + 1²)

c = 15.0333

This is NOT a Pythagorean triple.

Crank

Answer:measurement of angle B is

70 \:  \: degrees

<h3>Answer C is correct</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2 + 5x + 18 + 2x + 8 = 180 \\ 13x + 24 = 180 \\ 13x = 180 - 24 \\ 13x = 156 \\  \frac{13x}{13}  =  \frac{156}{13}  \\ x = 12 \:  \: degrees
