What to do if quadratic equation has a negative spuare root?

1 answer:

3 0

If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be $3+\sqrt{5}$

then $3-\sqrt{5}$ will also be a solution.

If the principal, interest rate, or time in a simple interest problem is doubled, and the other two quanities remain constant, h

Alex17521 [72]

one would say that the simple interest doubles if the period of time is specified in the contract and the contract is still valid, if the interest amount is available anitime and so on.

So if the amount doubles let's say at half time for which the principal was awarded to the bank, by the end of the contract , the interest amount can be double × just increased by 1.5

(1.) decide if function f is invertible.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

a) f(n) is the number of students in your calculus class whose birthday is on the nth day of the year.

f(n) is not invertible because several different days, n, may have the same number of students, f(n). Then for one specific f(n) you cannot determine a unique n.

b) f(x) is the volume in litters of x kilograms of water at 4 degrees celsius.?

f(x) is invertible because each x gives a different f(x), then you can determine unambiguously which f(x) corresponds to each x.
