The correct answer is John Steinbeck. He is famous for his depiction of Californian common folk lives and even won a Nobel prize for his depictions of it.
The digit in the hundred thousands place is the 2
A^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
To test it, expand the right hand side.
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>
-I5I=-5 vs. I-5I= 5
The absolute value will stay the same for both negative and positive. The result will change depending on where you put your absolute value signs.
