Find the value for x.

Answer: x = -13

=========================

Work Shown:

19 = 38/2

19 & 1/2 = 19 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = 38/2 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = (38+1)/2

19 & 1/2 = 39/2

-------

In the original equation, replace the "19 & 1/2" with "39/2" to get

(5/2)x + (1/2)x = 39/2 + (9/2)x

Each term involves a fraction with a denominator of 2. If we multiply both sides by the common denominator, then the fractions will cancel out

For example: 2*(5/2)x = (10/2)x = 5x

So after multiplying both sides by 2, you should have this new equation

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

--------

Let's solve that latest equation for x

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

6x = 39 + 9x

6x-9x = 39 + 9x-9x ... subtract 9x from both sides

-3x = 39

-3x/(-3) = 39/(-3) .... divide both sides by -3

x = -13

Find measure of side AB round to nearest tenth

vova2212 [387]

Use:

$|AB|^2=|AC|^2+|BC|^2-2|AC||BC|\cos(m\angle ACB)$

We have:

$|AC|=13;\ |BC|=29;\ m\angle ACB=41^o$

$\cos41^o\approx0.7547$

substitute:

$|AB|^2=13^2+29^6-2\cdot13\cdot29\cdot0.7547\\\\|AB|^2=440.9562\\\\|AB|\approx21$

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots -8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)?

Naddik [55]

Answer:

it must also have the root : - 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial is expressed with real coefficients (which must be the case if it is a function f(x) in the Real coordinate system), then if it has a complex root "a+bi", it must also have for root the conjugate of that complex root.

This is because in order to render a polynomial with Real coefficients, the binomial factor (x - (a+bi)) originated using the complex root would be able to eliminate the imaginary unit, only when multiplied by the binomial factor generated by its conjugate: (x - (a-bi)). This is shown below:

$(x-(a+bi))*(x-(a-bi))=\\(x-a-bi)*(x-a+bi)=\\([x-a]-bi)*([x-a]+bi)=\\(x-a)^2-(bi)^2=\\(x-a)^2-b^2(-1)=\\(x-a)^2+b^2$

where the imaginary unit has disappeared, making the expression real.

So in our case, a+bi is -6i (real part a=0, and imaginary part b=-6)

Then, the conjugate of this root would be: +6i, giving us the other complex root that also may be present in the real polynomial we are dealing with.
