The length of XY is 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A mid-point of a line segment

  • Divide it into two equal segments
  • Each segment is half the length of it

∵ X is the mid-point of WY

∴ WX = XY

∴ WX = \frac{1}{2} WY and XY = \frac{1}{2} WY

∵ WX = 3x - 1

∵ WY = 10x - 26

- By using the rule WX = \frac{1}{2} WY

∴ 3x - 1 = \frac{1}{2} (10x - 26)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ 3x - 1 = 5x - 13

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ 3x = 5x - 12

- Subtract 5x from both sides

∴ -2x = -12

- Divide both sides by -2

∴ x = 6

∵ XY = WX

∵ WX = 3x - 1

∴ XY = 3x - 1

- Substitute the value of x in the expression of XY

∴ XY = 3(6) - 1

∴ XY = 18 - 1

∴ XY = 17 units

The length of XY is 17 units

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁵ - 8x⁴ + 22x³ - 26x² + 21x - 18 = 0

x = 2,  x = ± i,   x=3  with multiplicity 2

-----------------------------------------------------

x⁴ - 5x³ + 7x² - 5x + 6 = 0

x = 2,   x=3,   x = ± i

--------------------------------------------------------

<u>-1 + 4i</u>    =  4 + i

    i

--------------------------------------------------------

x³ - 26x² + 21x - 18 = 0

x = ± 2i,   x = 3/2

--------------------------------------------------------

(1 + i) (-3 - 4i)

= 1 - 7i

--------------------------------------------------------

6.

(-5 + 2i) + (3 - 6i)

= -2 -4i

--------------------------------------------------------

7.

x⁴ + 5x² + 4 = 0

x = ± i ,     x = ± 2i

--------------------------------------------------------

8.

(7 - i) - (-5 + 6i)

= 12 - 7i

--------------------------------------------------------

9.

(4 - i) (4 + i)

= 17

--------------------------------------------------------

10.

(3 + 8i) (4 - 3i)

= 36 + 23i
