Solve the equation: k^2+5k+13=0
mr_godi [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

k² + 5k + 13 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

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

From the question

a = 1 , b = 5 , c = 13

So we have

k =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(13) } }{2(1)}  \\  =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 52} }{2}  \\  =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ - 27} }{2}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \\  =  \frac{ - 5  \pm3 \sqrt{3}  \: i}{2}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

<u>Separate the solutions</u>

k_1 =  \frac{ - 5 + 3 \sqrt{3} \: i }{2}  \:  \:  \:  \: or \\ k_2 =  \frac{ - 5 - 3 \sqrt{3}  \: i}{2}

The equation has complex roots

<u>Separate the real and imaginary parts</u>

We have the final answer as

k_1 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  +  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2}  \: i \:  \:  \:  \: or \\ k_2 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  -  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2}  \: i

Which statement is true about this argument? premises: if an angle measure is greater than 90°, then the angle is an obtuse angl
vazorg [7]
Answer: option d. the argument is valid by the law of detachment.

The law of detachment consists in make a conlcusion in this way:

Premise 1) a => b
Premise 2) a is true

Conclusion: Then, b is true

Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.

IN this case:

Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse

Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]

Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse

Gemma recently rode her bicycle to visit her friend who lives 6 miles away. On her way there, her average speed was 16 miles per
DochEvi [55]

first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!
