X² - 4x +40=0 How do I solve this

Mathematics
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this you need 2 numbers whose product is + 40 and whose sum is -4. There are no such numbers so we could use the method of completing the square:

x^2 - 4x + 40 = 90

x^2 - 4x = -40

(x - 2)^2 - 4 = -40

(x - 2)^2 = -36     -  So the roots are complex numbers:

x - 2 = +/-√36

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

If f(x) = 4(3x - 5), find f-1(x)
deff fn [24]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x) =  \frac{1}{12}(x+20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x) = 4(3x - 5)

Is required to find f⁻¹(x)

f(x) = y = 4(3x - 5)

∴ y = 4 * 3x - 4 * 5

∴ y = 12x - 20 ⇒ add 20 to both sides

∴ y + 20 = 12x ⇒ divide both sides by 12

∴ \frac{1}{12} (y+20) = x

Replace the places of x and y.

∴ y=\frac{1}{12} (x+20)

∴ f^{-1}(x) =  \frac{1}{12}(x+20)

Pierre is running 26 and 2/10 miles in the marathon. He has run 3/4 of the way. How far has he run?
Harman [31]
Pierre ran 19 and 13/20 miles.

Given:
marathon length : 26 2/10 miles
pierre's length ran : 3/4 of the way.

Multiply the fractions. 
Convert the marathon length from a mixed fraction into a fraction.
26 2/10 = ((26*10)+2)/10 = (260+2)/10 = 262/10

262/10 * 3/4 = (262*3) / (10*4) = 786/40 = 19 26/40

19 26/40 simplified to 19 13/20 miles

26 ÷ 2 = 13
40 ÷ 2 = 20
