Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:
x^2 + 16 = 0
x^2 = -16
The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.
Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:
±√-16 = ±4i
Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:
(x + 4i)(x - 4i)
If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
The answer is 13/85. You could find out the answer by doing the reprical multiplication.
Answer:
(2.83 , 1 , 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite these equations in matrix form
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&-1\\4&-2&-2\\3&3&-4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%262%26-1%5C%5C4%26-2%26-2%5C%5C3%263%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
we can write it like this,
so to solve it we need to take the inverse of the 3 x 3 matrix A then multiply it by B.
We get the inverse of matrix A,
![A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%5E%7B-1%7D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5C%5C)
now multiply the matrix with B
![X=A^{-1}B\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7/15&1/6&-1/5\\1/3&-1/6&0\\3/5&0&-2/5\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\2\\-4\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2.83\\1\\4\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=X%3DA%5E%7B-1%7DB%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%2F15%261%2F6%26-1%2F5%5C%5C1%2F3%26-1%2F6%260%5C%5C3%2F5%260%26-2%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C2%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5C%5Cz%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2.83%5C%5C1%5C%5C4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
2/9 - 7/12
First, multiply to find a common denominator. Multiply both pieces of the left fraction by 12, and both pieces of the right fraction by 9.
24/108 - 63/108 = -39/108 = -13/36
a= -13
b= 36
