Yes, you can; based on the inherent assumption that the "two radicals that have negative values" are, in fact, "imaginary numbers" .
Take, for example, the commonly known "imaginary number": "i" ; which represents the "imaginary number" ; " √-1 " .
Since: "i = √-1" ;
Note that: " i² = (√-1)² = √-1 * √-1 = √(-1*-1) = √1 = 1 .

Answer:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides
x² - 2x = 15
- 15 -15
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2
because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.
we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²
(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out
FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms
F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²
O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x
I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x
L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15
x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x
x² - 2x - 15
this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
Answer: 225 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the area of the 4 triangle and the area of the rectangle and thereafter we add everything together.
Area of triangle 1 = 1/2 base × height
= 1/2 × 12 × 8
=96/2
=48
Area of triangle 2 = area of triangle 1= 48( because the opposite triangle are congruent so they have equal base and height)
Area of triangle 3 = 1/2×base×height
= 1/2 × 6 ×9.5
= 57/2
=28.5
Area of triangle 4=Area of triangle 3 = 57 (the opposite triangle are congruent and so they have the same base and height hence the same area)
Area of the rectangle = length×breadth
=12 × 6 =72
Total surface area = addition of all the areas of the triangles and the rectangle
Total surface area= 48+48+57+57+72 = 225
Therefore, the total surface area is 225 square feet
To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
Basically it means judging if something is right.
