Determine the discriminant for the given equation x^2+4x+5=0. Then describe the roots(how many and what type).

Mathematics

Fed [463]3 years ago

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c

Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4

-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots

(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation would be 8x - 4 = 60.

So,

8x - 4 = 60

   + 4    + 4

8x = 64

/8     /8

x = 8

Can anyone please help me with this RSM question? I have literally posted this like four times!
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180.

ABG - x + 90 + ANGLE AGB = 180

Angles on a straight add up to 180.

CDE - 8x + ANGLE D + 3x = 180

Alterate angles - ATTACHMENT

ANGLE D = x

8x + x + 3x = 180

12x = 180

x = 180/12

<h2>x = 15</h2>

Simplify the following expression into the form a + bi, where a and b are rational numbers.
vagabundo [1.1K]
The answer is -16 - 10i.

Using the distributive property on the first part, we have:
-2i*7--2i*4i + (3+i)(-2+2i)
-14i+8i² +(3+i)(-2+2i)

Using FOIL on the last part,
-14i+8i²+(3*-2+3*2i+i*-2+i*2i)
-14i+8i²-6+6i-2i+2i²
-10i+8i²-6+2i²

Since we know that i = -1,
-10i+8(-1)-6+2(-1)
-10i-8-6-2
-16-10i
