 The correct answer is:  [C]:  " \frac{21}{11} " . 
_____________________________________________________

<span>Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
</span>
Let us begin by converting the:  
"0.42 (with the "repeating bar on the digits, "42") " ;  

into a fraction, as follows:
______________________________________________________
   Let  x = 0.42424242424242424242424242424242....

100x = 42.42424242424242424242424242424242....
______________________________________________________
    
         100x = 42.42424242424242424242424242424242....
    –         x =   0.42424242424242424242424242424242...
______________________________________________________
          99x = 42.000000000000000000000000000000.... ;

         →   99x = 42 ;  

Divide each side of the equation by " 99 " ;  
       to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 
______________________________________________________
         →  99x / 99 = 42/99 = (42 ÷ 3) / (99 ÷ 3) = 14/ 33; 

         →  x = "\frac{14}{33}" .

So;  "0.42 (with a repeating bar over the digits, "42" ;

           is equal to:  "\frac{14}{33}" 
________________________________________________
 So, rewrite the question/problem being asked:
________________________________________________
  "Find the quotient:  
________________________________________________
   \frac{14}{33}  ÷ \frac{2}{9}  ;

=  \frac{14}{33} * \frac{9}{2}  ;

Note:  The "14" cancels to a "7" <span>; and</span> the "2" cancels to a "1" ; 
       →  {since:  " 14 ÷ 2 = 7 " ; and since:  " 2 ÷ 2 = 1 "} ;

Note : The "33" cancels to an "11" ; and the "9" cancels to a "3" ;
        →  {since:  " 33 ÷ 3 = 11 " ; and since:  " 9 ÷ 3 = 3 "} ;

And we can rewrite the problem as:
____________________________________________________
 
 " \frac{7}{11}  * \frac{3}{1} "  ;

  =  \frac{(7*3)}{(11*1}   =  \frac{21}{11} ; 

            → which is:  Answer choice:  [C]:  " \frac{21}{11} " .

Answer:

Solutions: x = \frac{-3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39},  x = \frac{-3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, 2x² + 3x + 6 = 0, where a =2, b = 3, and c = 6:

Use the <u>quadratic equation</u> and substitute the values for a, b, and c to solve for the solutions:

x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(2)(6)} }{2(2)}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{9- 48} }{4}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{-39} }{4}

x = \frac{-3 + i \sqrt{39} }{4}, x = \frac{-3 - i \sqrt{39} }{4}

Therefore, the solutions to the given quadratic equation are:

x = -\frac{3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39} ,   x = -\frac{3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}
