X=width of the lake
y=length of the lake.
we set out this system of equiations
x*y=9/20
x=y/5
we solve by sustitution method
(y/5)*y=9/20
y²/5=9/20
y²=(5*9)/ 20
y²=2.25
y=√2.25=1.5

x=y/5
x=1.5/5=0.3

Solution:
width of the lake=0.3 miles
lenght of the lake=1.5 miles

Find the zeros of x^2+4x=-10 using the quadratic formula
ipn [44]
X^2+4+10=0
x=(-4(+/-)root16-40)/2, so we now know that the zeros are imaginary, because you can't square root a negative number and 16-40 is -24
so the two roots are…
-2+iroot6 and -2-iroot6

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When squaring the number 5 (i.e 5^2 ) the answer is 25. 5^{2} is the same thing as 5 times 5. Basically with the square root, you are going backwards, so you are therefore finding the base of it all.
