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

Mathematics

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

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>

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

C) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + 20² = 29²       Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for a

a² + 400 = 841       Solve for the exponents

     - 400 - 400      Subtract 400 from both sides

a² = 441                  Take the square root of both sides

a = 21

noname [10]
Since we need your monthly bill we will call it the variable B for now, (Unless you have the bill, if so replace it with the variable)
Multiply 1.64 x B since the exchange rate is different than the US bill,
For example, say your bill is $100 in the U.S.
You do 1.64 x 100 = A monthly bill of $164 if you lived in Britain
