How do I factor x^2+4x+20

Mathematics
1 answer:
icang [17]3 years ago

Its like x² + 4x +20 = 0,
x = [-4 + √[(4²) - (4*1*20)]]/(2*1) = [-4 + √(16-80)]/2 = [-4 + √(-64)]/2 = [-4 + 8√(-1)]/2 = -2 + 4i,
x = [-4 - √[(4²) - (4*1*20)]]/(2*1) = [-4 - √(16-80)]/2 = [-4 - √(-64)]/2 = [-4 - 8√(-1)]/2 = -2 - 4i,
here i = √(-1), its a complex number.
so solution is a complex number,
x = -2 - 4i & -2 + 4i.

Billy is monitoring the exponential decay of a radioactive compound. He has a sample of the compound in a test tube in his lab.
Over [174]

Solution:

Formula for radioactive Decay is given by

R_{0}= R(1-\frac{S}{100})^t

R_{0}= Initial Population

R = Remaining population after time in hours

Rate of Decay = S % per hour

Initial Population = 72 grams

Final population = 15 grams

Rate of Decay = 35 % per hour

Substituting the values to get value of t in hours

72=15(1-\frac{35}{100})^t\\\\ 4.8= (0.65)^t\\\\ t= -3.64→→1 St expression

But taking positive value of t , that is after 3.64 hours the sample of 72 grams decays to 15 grams at the rate of 35 % per hour.

Now , it is also given that, Once the sample reaches a mass of 15 grams, Billy will continually add more of the compound to keep the sample size at a minimum of 15 grams.

Substituting these in Decay Formula

Final Sample = 15 gm

Starting Sample = 15 +k, where k is amount of sample added each time to keep the final sample to 15 grams.

Time is over 3.64 hours i.e new time = 3.64 + t

Rate will remain same i.e 35 % per hour.

15=(15+k)(1-\frac{35}{100})^{3.64+t}→→→  Final expression (Second) , that is inequalities can be used to determine the possible mass of the radioactive sample over time.

Working her way through school, Julie works two part-time jobs for a total of 35 hours a week. Job A pays $6.10 per hour, and Jo
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

<u>Julie worked 18 hours at Job A and 17 hours at Job B.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Rate per hour at Job A = US$ 6.10

Rate per hour at Job B = US$$ 7.40

Hours at Job A = x

Hours at Job B = 35 - x

Total of hours worked by Julie = 35 hours

Total weekly earnings = US$ 235.60

2. How many hours did she work at each job the week that she made $235.60?

For finding the result, we will use the following formula:

6.10x + 7.4 (35 - x) = 235.60

6.10x + 259 - 7.4x = 235.60

-1.3x = 235.60 - 259 (Subtracting 259 to both sides)

-1.3x = - 23.40

x = -23.4/-1.3 (Dividing by -1.3)

x = 18

<u>Julie worked 18 hours at Job A, so she worked 17 (35 - 18) hours at Job B.</u>

3. Proof that x = 18 is correct.

6.10x + 7.4 (35 - x) = 235.60

6.10 (18) + 7.4 (35 - 18) = 235.60

109.80 + 125.80 = 235.60

<u>235.60 = 235.60</u>

<u>It's proven that x = 18 is correct.</u>
