What two numbers multiply to 16 and add to 4?

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.

Solve those two equations for x and y.

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

Is segment ST tangent to circle P1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

B . Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.

Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.

To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:

c² = a² + b², where,

c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37

a = 12

b = 35

Plug in the value

37² = 12² + 35²

1,369 = 1,369 (true)

Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.

Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.

Answer:

33.3

Step-by-step explanation:

tan A = opp/adj

tan 39° = 27/x

x tan 39° = 27

x = 27/(tan 39°)

x = 33.3

Which answer is equivalent to 4 1/3*4 1/6?<br> a. 16<br> b .6√​16<br> c. 2<br> d. 3√​4
Talja [164]

Answer:

<h2>c. 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4^\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^\frac{1}{6}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=4^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{1\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^\frac{2+1}{6}=4^\frac{3}{6}=4^\frac{3:3}{6:3}=4^{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^\frac{m}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}\\\\=\sqrt[2]{4^1}=\sqrt4=2
