First, subtract 17 on both sides: x²+2x-16=0
this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
b²-4ac=2²-4(10(-16)=4+64=68
√68=2√17
so x=(-2+2√17)/2 or x=(-2-2√17)/2
x=-1+√17 or x=-1-√17

Answer:

 x=-1+\sqrt{17}   and   x=-1-\sqrt{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x+1=17

To solve for x , we set the right hand side =0

x^2+2x+1=17

Subtract 17 on both sides

x^2+2x-16=0

Now apply quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

From the given f(x), the value of a=1, b=2, c=-16

Plug in all the values in the formula

x=\frac{-2+-\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-16)}}{2(1)}

 x=\frac{-2+-\sqrt{68}}{2}

 x=\frac{-2+-2\sqrt{17}}{2}

 x=-1+-\sqrt{17}

 x=-1+\sqrt{17}   and   x=-1-\sqrt{17}

Which of the following is the conjugate of a complex number with 5 as the real part and −2i as the imaginary part?
Mkey [24]
5+2i. You only have to change the operation of the original expression, not the signs (positives and negatives) of each term.

Alexandria used 1/2 of grapes and 2/3 of strawberries combined to make a fruit snack. how many cups of grapes and strawberries d
Ivenika [448]
Considering that there are 1/2 cup of grapes and 2/3 of strawberries, we can add them together to get 1 and 1/6 cups. This is done by adding 3/6 + 4/6. I'm not sure if this is correct, since it's kind of easy for a high school problem... I hope this helps anyway :D
