Answer:

The weight of the package is 1 kilograms.

It will cost  $ 13 by both the couriers services.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of her package is x kilograms

Now, according to the question:

The charges of first Courier = $10 + $3(x)

and The charges of Second  Courier = $7 + $6(x)

Also, for x  kilograms, both the charges are equal

⇒ $10 + $3(x)   =  $7 + $6(x)

or, 10 + 3x =  7 + 6x

or, 10 -7 = 6x - 3x

⇒ 3x = 3, implies  x = 3/3 = 1

⇒ The weight of the package is 1 kilograms.

It will cost :  10 + 3(1) = $ 13  = 7 + 6(1) by both the couriers services.

Solve the equation: k^2+5k+13=0
mr_godi [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

k² + 5k + 13 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

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

From the question

a = 1 , b = 5 , c = 13

So we have

k =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(13) } }{2(1)}  \\  =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 52} }{2}  \\  =  \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ - 27} }{2}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \\  =  \frac{ - 5  \pm3 \sqrt{3}  \: i}{2}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

<u>Separate the solutions</u>

k_1 =  \frac{ - 5 + 3 \sqrt{3} \: i }{2}  \:  \:  \:  \: or \\ k_2 =  \frac{ - 5 - 3 \sqrt{3}  \: i}{2}

The equation has complex roots

<u>Separate the real and imaginary parts</u>

We have the final answer as

k_1 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  +  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2}  \: i \:  \:  \:  \: or \\ k_2 =  -  \frac{5}{2}  -  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2}  \: i

Hope this helps you
