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

Need help on this<br><br> Z+4&gt;2z
snow_lady [41]

Answer: z < 4

z+4 > 2z

z+4-z > 2z-z ..... Subtract z from both sides

4 > z

z < 4

So the solution set for z is any number that is less than 4, which could be something like z = 2 or z = 3.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following an=57-4(n-1),n=1,2,3
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

57, 53, 49, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for the n for n=1,2,3,4 so the first term is 57-4(1-1) so =57-4(0) so

a(1) = 57-0 = 57  so that is the 1st term

2nd term 57-4(2-1) so =57-4(1) so   a(2) = 57-4 = 53, etc.
