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.

Evaluate the following using<br> powers of ten rules.<br> 104)1.042

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.0001042

Step-by-step explanation:

Power of tens rule states that if the denominator of a fraction has the positive power of 10, decimal in the numerator will be shifted to the left by the same number of places as exponent.

10⁴) 1.042 = $\frac{1.042}{10^4}$

In the denominator of the given fraction, exponent of 10 = +4

So the decimal in numerator will be shifted left by 4 places.

$\frac{1.042}{10^4}=0.0001042$

Therefore, answer is 0.0001042
