Answer:
The equation has two solutions for x:
<u>x₁ = (8 + 10i)/2</u>
<u>x₂ = (8 - 10i)/2</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the quadratic formula for solving for x in the equation:
X^2 - 8X + 41= 0
x² - 8x + 41 = 0
Let's recall that the quadratic formula is:
x = -b +/- (√b² - 4ac)/2a
Replacing with the real values, we have:
x = 8 +/- (√-8² - 4 * 1 * 41)/2 * 1
x = 8 +/- (√64 - 164)/2
x = 8 +/- (√-100)/2
x = 8 +/- (√-1 *100)/2
Let's recall that √-1 = i
x = 8 +/- 10i/2
<u>x₁ = (8 + 10i)/2</u>
<u>x₂ = (8 - 10i)/2</u>
Answer:
Question 4: -11
Question 5: -7
Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle has 180 degrees.
So all three angles add to 180
<em><u>Equation</u></em>
60 + 80 + x + 51 = 180
<em><u>Solution</u></em>
Combine the like terms on the left. This is the first time I've seen x be a negative value. Almost all of the time it isn't, which should make you wonder.
191 + x = 180
Subtract 191 from both sides.
191 - 191 + x = 180 - 191
x = - 11

If a triangle is a right triangle and one of the angles is 45, then so is the other one.
<em><u>Proof</u></em>
a + 45 + 90 = 180 Combine like terms on the left
a + 135 = 180 Subtract 135 on both sides.
a + 135-135=180-135 Combine the like terms
a = 45
<em><u>Statement</u></em>
That means 52 + x = 45 and here is another negative answer. Subtract 52 from both sides
52 - 52 + x = 45 - 52 Combine like terms.
x = - 7
To make a perfect square, we must know that 22/2 = 11. In this case:
(x + 11)^2 = x^2 + 22x + 121
