Solve for x in the equation X^2 - 8X + 41= 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
8 0

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>

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.
Damm [24]
The answer:
<span>the two triangles are similar
in addition, the line UV is parallel to line BC, so we can use the theorem of Thales for proving the following ratios:

AV /AC = AU/ AB= UV/ BC
372/589=20x +80  / AB = 444 / 703

</span>so we get    (372/589) AB - 80 =  20x, and x = ( (372/589) AB - 80  ) / 20

exact value of x depends on the value of AB

An army base in the desert is located at the origin, O of an x-y coordinate system. A soldier at point P needs to determine his
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer/step-by-step explanation

The soldier at point P lie on a parabola because he determined his position and distances from towns A and B through measurement of the difference in timing (phase) of radio signals received from the two towns.

This analysis of the signal time difference gives the difference in distance of the soldier at P, from the towns.

This process is known as hyperbolic navigation.

These distances of point P from towns A and B is estimated by the soldier at point P, by measuring the delay localizes the receiver to a hyperbolic line on a chart.

Two hyperbolic lines will be drawn by taking timing measurements from the

towns A and B .

Point P will be at the intersection of the lines.

These distances of point P(The soldier's positions) from town A and town B were determined using the timing of the signals received from the two towns, due to the fact that point P was on a certain hyperbola.

____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is C. n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by using the butterfly method. I multiplied 3 and 2 and got 6. Then take 6 and divide it by 2 and you get 3.

So therefore, n = 3
