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.

Answer:

=24.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = (principal×rate×time)÷100. *brackets first*
transpose the formula to make rate the subject: rate= (100×simple interest) ÷ (principal×time)
plug in values: rate = (100×37975) ÷ (31000×5)
the result is 24.5%

In training for a swim meet, Logan swam 750 meters in 1/3 of an hour. His swimming partner Mila, swam 2/3 of Logan's distance in

Brut [27]

Answer:

speed of Logan is 37.5 m/minutes

speed of Milo is 33.33 meters per minutes

Speed of Logan is greater than speed of Milo

difference in speed = 37.5 - 33.33 = 4.17 meters per minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we will calculate speed in meters per minutes

we know 1 hour = 60 minutes and

1 minutes = 60 seconds

speed = distance/time

____________________________________

For Logan

distance = 750 meters

time = 1/3 of hour = 1/3 *60 minutes = 20 minutes

speed = 750/20 = 37.5 meters per minute

__________________________________________________

For milo

distance = 2/3 of Logan's distance = 2/3 * 750 meters = 500 meters

time = 1/4 of hour = 1/4 *60 minutes =15 minutes

speed = 500/15 = 33.33 meters per minute

Thus, speed of Logan is 37.5 m/minutes

speed of Milo is 33.33 meters per minutes

Speed of Logan is greater than speed of Milo

difference in speed = 37.5 - 33.33 = 4.17 meters per minutes
