D = 56/4
d = 14, because that is one fourth of George's age
Verification:
56 = d x 4
56 = 14 x 4
56 = 56
True

4d=56
d=14. Ad a result, Dorothy is 14 years old. Hope it help!

The answer is D
if the legs are 5 and 4 cm the equation to find the hypotenuse would be 5^2+4^2=c^c
5 squared is 25 and 4 squared is 16 that gives you 41, normally you would square root the 41 but it gives you a decimal number

The roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 are 1+i 5 and 1−i 5 . Find possible values of a, b and c.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots are 1 + 5i and 1 - 5i, then you need the factors that result from those roots. They are (x - 1 + 5i) and (x - 1 - 5i). Now what you do with those is FOIL them out. Doing that gives you the following:

$x^2-x+5ix-x+1-5i-5ix+5i-25i^2$ (what a mess, huh?)

The good thing is that several of those terms cancel each other out. +5ix cancels out the -5ix; -5i cancels out the 5i; and the 2 -x terms combine to -2x. That leaves you with:

$x^2-2x-25i^2$

Obviously you're in the section in math that deals with complex (imaginary) numbers so you should know that i-squared is equal to -1. Making that replacement:

$x^2-2x+25$
