Answer:  -1 ± <em>i</em>√35

                  ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                     6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the quadratic equation,

X =  -b ±√b² - 4ac

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

             2a

From the given equation, -3x² - x - 3 = 0

where a = -3, b = -1, c = -3

Now substitute for the values in the formula above

x = -(-1) ± √(-1)² - 4(-3)(-3)

      ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

                   2(-3)

x = 1 ± √ 1 - 36

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = 1 ±  √ -35

     ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

           -6

x = -1  ±  <em>i√35   this is because it has a negative root.</em>

<em>       ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻</em>

<em>            6</em>

<em> The answer is b</em>

AB and CD are parallel. EF is the translation of AB. Is EF parallel to CD? Justify. What does this prove about the effect of tra
sergij07 [2.7K]
Yes, EF is parallel to CD. Translation is the simple slide of a shape, therefore it doesn't have an effect on parallel lines.

You want to convert 1 kg to milligrams. You already know that 1 kg equals 1000 g explain how knowing that 1 gram equals 1000 mg
butalik [34]
1 kg=1000g*1000mg/1g=1000000mg =10⁶ mg
or you can use proportion

1000g - x mg
1 g     -1000mg
x=1000*1000=1000000mg 

1kg=10⁶ mg

-12x + 12 = 4 - 15x + 9
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x + 12 = 4 - 15x + 9

Combine like terms

-12x +12 = -15x+13

Add 15x to each side

-12x+12 +15x = -15x+15x+13

3x+12 = 13

Subtract 12 from each side

3x+12-12 = 13-12

3x = 1

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3

x = 1/3
