Answer:
x = 2 ± (i)√5 (Answer b)
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-4x+9=0 can be solved in a variety of ways; the first two that come to mind that are also appropriate are (1) completing the square and (2) using the quadratic formula.
Completing the square is fast here:
Rewrite x²-4x+9=0 as x²-4x +9=0
Identify the coefficient of the x term: it is -4
Take half of that, obtaining -2
Square this result, obtaining 4
Add 4 to x²-4x +9=0, in the blank space in the middle, and then subtract 4: x²-4x +4 -4 +9=0
Rewrite x²-4x +4 as the square of a binomial:
(x - 2)² - 4 + 9 = 0 → (x - 2)² = -5
Take the square root of both sides: x - 2 = ±√(-5) = ± (i)√5
Then x = 2 ± (i)√5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A function is continuous at a point if and only if:
So, we have the piecewise function:
And we want to find the value of k such that the function is continuous.
First, find the left hand limit of f(x):
Since we're coming from the left, we'll use the first equation. Thus:
Direct substitution:
Simplify:
Subtract and divide:
So, what this tells us is that for the function to be continuous, the right hand limit as f(x) approaches 9 from the right <em>must</em> also be equal to 0.
Therefore:
Direct substitution:
Subtract 1 from both sides:
Divide both sides by -9:
Therefore, the value of k is 1/9.
So, our equation in the end is:
