(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 2)^2 + 20 = 0

Subtract 20 from each side

(x – 2)^2 + 20 -20=0 -20

(x – 2)^2 =- 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x – 2)^2) =±sqrt(- 20)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 20)

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x-2  = ±sqrt(- 1) sqrt(20)

We know the sqrt (-1) = i

x-2  = ±i sqrt(4*5)

x-2 = ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i sqrt(4) sqrt(5)

x = 2 ±i 2 sqrt(5)

x = 2  ± 2 sqrt(5)i

help. If 20 men can survive for 24 days on 15 cans of rations, how many cans will be needed for 16 men to survive for 36 days?
Semmy [17]

Answer: 29 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.

If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.

so X is in the units can/day

then we have that:

24/15*X = 20

X = 20*15/24 = 12.5

This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.

then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:

(36/C)*12.5 = 16

C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215

And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.

What is the slope?
Lena [83]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need two points to find the slope

( 20,20) and (60,50)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (50-20)/(60-20)

   = 30/40

   = 3/4
