Answer:

x = (5 + i sqrt(15))/4 or x = (5 - i sqrt(15))/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x^2 - 5 x + 5 = 0

Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.

x = (5 ± sqrt((-5)^2 - 4×2×5))/(2×2) = (5 ± sqrt(25 - 40))/4 = (5 ± sqrt(-15))/4:

x = (5 + sqrt(-15))/4 or x = (5 - sqrt(-15))/4

Hint: | Express sqrt(-15) in terms of i.

sqrt(-15) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(15) = i sqrt(15):

Answer: x = (5 + i sqrt(15))/4 or x = (5 - i sqrt(15))/4

a certain shade of blue is made by mixing 1.5 quarts of blue paint with 5 quarts of white paint. If you need a total of 16.25 ga

Law Incorporation [45]

we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

$\bf \cfrac{blue}{white}\qquad \stackrel{ratio}{1.5:5}\qquad \cfrac{1.5}{5}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}\implies \cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1.5\cdot 2.5}{5\cdot 2.5}\implies \cfrac{3.75}{12.5}\qquad \qquad \boxed{\stackrel{blue}{3.75}~:~\stackrel{white}{12.5}}$
