Z^4-5(1+2i)z^2+24-10i=0

mixer [17]

Using the quadratic formula, we solve for $z^2$ .

$z^4 - 5(1+2i) z^2 + 24 - 10i = 0 \implies z^2 = \dfrac{5+10i \pm \sqrt{-171+140i}}2$

Taking square roots on both sides, we end up with

$z = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5+10i \pm \sqrt{-171+140i}}2}$

Compute the square roots of -171 + 140i.

$|-171+140i| = \sqrt{(-171)^2 + 140^2} = 221$

$\arg(-171+140i) = \pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right)$

By de Moivre's theorem,

$\sqrt{-171 + 140i} = \sqrt{221} \exp\left(i \left(\dfrac\pi2 - \dfrac12 \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right)\right)\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \sqrt{221} i \left(\dfrac{14}{\sqrt{221}} + \dfrac5{\sqrt{221}}i\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= 5+14i$

and the other root is its negative, -5 - 14i. We use the fact that (140, 171, 221) is a Pythagorean triple to quickly find

$t = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right) \implies \cos(t) = \dfrac{171}{221}$

as well as the fact that

$0$

$\sin\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos(t)}2} = \dfrac5{\sqrt{221}}$

(whose signs are positive because of the domain of $\frac t2$ ).

This leaves us with

$z = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5+10i \pm (5 + 14i)}2} \implies z = \pm \sqrt{5 + 12i} \text{ or } z = \pm \sqrt{-2i}$

Compute the square roots of 5 + 12i.

$|5 + 12i| = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13$

$\arg(5+12i) = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right)$

By de Moivre,

$\sqrt{5 + 12i} = \sqrt{13} \exp\left(i \dfrac12 \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right)\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \sqrt{13} \left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{13}} + \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}}i\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~= 3+2i$

and its negative, -3 - 2i. We use similar reasoning as before:

$t = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right) \implies \cos(t) = \dfrac5{13}$

$1 < \tan(t) < \infty \implies \dfrac\pi4 < t < \dfrac\pi2 \implies \dfrac\pi8 < \dfrac t2 < \dfrac\pi4$

$\cos\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \dfrac3{\sqrt{13}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}}$

Lastly, compute the roots of -2i.

$|-2i| = 2$

$\arg(-2i) = -\dfrac\pi2$

$\implies \sqrt{-2i} = \sqrt2 \, \exp\left(-i\dfrac\pi4\right) = \sqrt2 \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt2} - \dfrac1{\sqrt2}i\right) = 1 - i$

as well as -1 + i.

So our simplified solutions to the quartic are

$\boxed{z = 3+2i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = -3-2i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = 1-i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = -1+i}$

The function y = -16x2 + 1500 gives a parachute jumper's height y in feet

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question is asking about the time from 1500 feet to 1100 feet. How long did they fall, w/o a parachute. aka "freefall" so, at 1500 feet the jumper is really at time zero. so, plug in to the formula

1100 = -16 $x^{2}$ +1500

( x represents seconds so i'll change it to t so we know it's time )

1100 = -16 $t^{2}$ + 1500

now we can solve for t , to see how long the jumper falls

-400 = - 16 $t^{2}$ ( subtracting 1500 from both sides of equation )

25 = $t^{2}$ ( dividing both sides by -16 )

oh.. look at how nice that turns out.. :)

$\sqrt{25}$ = t ( take the square root on both sides )

5 = t

the jumper fell for 5 seconds to get to 1100 feet
