Answer: A 13.4
Step-by-step
a^2 + b^2= c^2 4^2 + b^2 = 14^2 16+ b^2= 195 b^2= 180 b= square root of 180 b= 6 square root of 5 or 13.42
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>
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.
