You said that (xy) = 16, and (x+y) = 4 .

From the second equation you can get [ x = 4 - y ],
then substitude that for 'x' in the first equation, and
finally, rearrange the first equation to read
                                                                   <u>x² - 4x + 16 = 0</u>

Don't even try to factor that quadratic equation.  Go straight
to the quadratic formula, and the two solutions you find are ...

         <em>x = 2 + i 2√3</em>
and
         <em>x = 2 - i 2√3</em> .

Those are the two number that do what you want.

There are no <u>real</u> numbers that can do it.

Xy=16               
 x + y = 4
-----------------

Solve those two equations for x and y.

The two numbers are:  2 - 2i sqr(3) and  2 + 2i sqr(3)

In quadrilateral PQRS, the coordinates are (0,0), R(a +c, b), and S(a, b). How can you use coordinate geometry to show that the
aliina [53]

Answer:By definition, perpendicular line are two lines that intersect at right angles. In other words, the angle made by two lines should be 90°. Therefore, the use of distance formula does not help because it only tells you if the sides are equal. It does not tell you about the intercepted angle.

A technique that can help you to know if two straight lines are perpendicular is is you find their slopes. Let's say the slope of line 1 is m1 and the slope of line 2 is m2. If m1*m2 yields a product of -1, then the lines are perpendicular. This is because if m1 is the negative reciprocal of m2, the lines are perpendicular. But if m1=m2, the lines are parallel, meaning they don't intersect at all.

Therefore, the answer is: Find the slopes and show that their product is -1.

Multiply the following and write your answer In scientific notation.. 3.62 × 10^-5 · 9,400.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

3.4028 x 10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make the 9400 into scientific notation:

9.4x10^3

Then you combine like terms

(3.62x9.4)(10^-5x10^3)

Finally you simplify

34.028x10^-2

3.4028x10^-1
