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

Mathematics

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The equation has two solutions for x:

x₁ = (8 + 10i)/2

x₂ = (8 - 10i)/2

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

x₁ = (8 + 10i)/2

x₂ = (8 - 10i)/2

Which best describes the meaning of the statement if A then B

Oliga [24]

Answer:

$a => b \equiv ( \neg a \ \lor \ b )$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can understand the statement from many perspectives, but in terms of proposition logic it is best to understand it as "negation of a" or " b" in mathematical terms is written like this

$a => b \equiv ( \neg a \ \lor \ b )$

You can show that they are logically equivalent because they have the same truth table.

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 2y + 3z = 12$

$z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}$

Volume = $V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )$

find partial derivatives using product rule

$f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)$

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3

Bad White [126]

Answer:

65.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

x = score

Percentage below C :

D = 18% ; F = 12%

Sum = 30%

Obtain the Zscore for the proportion below D

P(Z < 0.30) = -0.524

Hence, Zscore = -0.524

Put Zscore = -0.524 in the equation :

-0.524 = (x - 72) / 12.5

-0.524 * 12.5 = x - 72

-6.55 = x - 72

-6.55 + 72 = x

x = 65.45

To receive a grade of C or better, score must be atleast 65.45
