You will plug these numbers into the quadratic formula to solve. a = 1, b = 8, c = 17. x=\frac{-8+/-\sqrt{8^2-4(1)(17)}}{2}, That simplifies down to x=\frac{-8+/-\sqrt{64-68}}{2}, and x=\frac{-8+/-\sqrt{-4}}{2}. We say our roots are complex because we have a negative under the square root sign which we know is illegal. Unless we use the imaginary "i" and offset that negative. -1 is equal to i-squared, so let's make that replacement. x=\frac{-8+/-\sqrt{4*i^2}}{2}. Both 4 and i-squared are perfect squares that can be pulled out as a 2 and an i, respectively. x=\frac{-8+/-2i}{2}. Everything in the numerator can be reduced by the 2 in the denominator to give us these 2 solutions for x: x=-4+i and x=-4-i.

Answer:

[x+(4-i)][x+(4+i)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete the square then regroup the first two terms. Add and subtract: (b/2)^2=(8/2)^2=16

x^2+8x+17=(x^2+8x)+17

=(x^2+8x+16)+17-16

=(x+4)^2+1  create a difference of squares using i^2= -1

=(x+4)^2 - (-1)

=(x+4)^2 - i^2  use the difference of two squares identity

=[(x+4) - i][(x+4)+i]

=[x+(4-i)][x+(4+i)]

Math riddle! Correct answer gets brainliest!<br><br> Answer with what x and y are equal to.
RSB [31]

Answer:

\displaystyle [9, 4\frac{1}{2}]

Step-by-step explanation:

I figure these exercises out by numeric association. I see a 3, so I know right away that there <em>might</em> be a 9 somewhere. So, you start by plugging 3 in for \displaystyle x, THEN plug \displaystyle 1\frac{1}{2} in for \displaystyle y sinse there are <em>twise</em><em> </em>the quantity of \displaystyle y than there are of \displaystyle x. Now, doing so will give you \displaystyle 24 ≠ 18. This tells you to try another pattern, so go with plugging \displaystyle 4\frac{1}{2} in for \displaystyle y and \displaystyle 9 in for \displaystyle x. Doing so gives you what you are looking -- \displaystyle 36 = 36. Therefore, the association wourked perfectly. ☑

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
