Answer:

Two imaginary solutions:

x₁= \frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

x₂ = \frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a quadratic equation of the form ax² +bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by the formula b² - 4ac.

The discriminant gives us information on how the solutions of the equations will be.

  1. <u>If the discriminant is zero</u>, the equation will have only one solution and it will be real
  2. <u>If the discriminant is greater than zero</u>, then the equation will have two solutions and they both will be real.
  3. <u>If the discriminant is less than zero,</u> then the equation will have two imaginary solutions (in the complex numbers)

So now we will work with the equation given: 4x - 3x² = 10

First we will order the terms to make it look like a quadratic equation ax²+bx + c = 0

So:

4x - 3x² = 10

-3x² + 4x - 10 = 0 will be our equation

with this information we have that a = -3 b = 4 c = -10

And we will find the discriminant: b^{2} -4ac = 4^{2} -4(-3)(-10) = 16-120=-104

Therefore our discriminant is less than zero and we know<u> that our equation will have two solutions in the complex numbers. </u>

To proceed to solve the equation we will use the general formula

x₁= (-b+√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₁ = \frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4+2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4+2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

The second solution x₂ = (-b-√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₂=\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4-2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4-2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

These are our two solutions in the imaginary numbers.

A small plane is flying a banner in the shape of a rectangle. The area of the banner is 144 square feet . The width of the banne
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer to your question is width = 6 ft; length = 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Area = 144 ft²

width = w

length = l

The width is 1/4 of the length

Formula

Area = width x length = w x l

Length = 4 width     l = 4w

Process

1.- Substitute length in the first equation

                       Area = w(4w)

Simplify

                       Area = 4w²

2.- Solve for w

                      w = \sqrt{\frac{Area}{4}}

Substitution

                      w = \sqrt{\frac{144}{4}}

Simplification

                      w = \sqrt{36}

Result

                      w = 6 ft

3.- Find l

                       l = 4(6)

                       l = 24 ft
