solving the equation $x^2-12x+40=0$ we get $x=6+2i\,\,and\,\,x=6-2i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

$x^2-12x+40=0$

We can solve using quadratic Formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a= 1, b = -12, c = 40

Putting values:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-12)\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(40)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{12\pm\sqrt{144-160}}{2}\\x=\frac{12\pm\sqrt{-16}}{2}\\We\,\,know\,\,\sqrt{-1}=i\\ x=\frac{12\pm4i}{2}\\ x=\frac{12+4i}{2}\,\,and\,\, x=\frac{12-4i}{2}\\ x=\frac{4(3+i)}{2}\,\,and\,\, x=\frac{4(3-i)}{2}\\x=2(3+i)\,\,and\,\,x=2(3-i)\\x=6+2i\,\,and\,\,x=6-2i$

So, solving the equation $x^2-12x+40=0$ we get $x=6+2i\,\,and\,\,x=6-2i$

At a time denoted as t=0, a student carrying a new flu virus comes back to an isolated campus that has a fixed number of 1000 pe

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dx(t)}{dt} = kx(t)[1000-x(t)],$ x(0)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of People on Campus =1000

Let the number of people who have contracted the flu =x(t)

Therefore, the number of people who have not contracted the flu =1000-x(t)

Since the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between the people who have the flu and the number of people who have not yet been exposed to it.

$\dfrac{dx(t)}{dt} \propto x(t)[1000-x(t)]$
