1/20 -> 1/20
Answer:
the correct answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace X with -2 then solve:
(-2) +3 / (-2)-1
1 / -3 which is rewritten as -1/3
Thw answer is -51

Answer:
10x . . . . . (Note the sign of the middle term is negative. 10x goes in the box.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two roots is ...
... (5 -3i) +(5 +3i) = 10
In a quadratic with leading coefficient 1, the coefficient of the 1st-degree term is the opposite of the sum of the roots. Here, that means the middle term is -10x. The minus sign is given, so the answer is 10x.

<em>How Do We Know?</em>
When "a" and "b" are roots of a quadratic in x, it has factors (x -a)(x -b). The product of those two factors is ...
... (x -a)(x -b) = x² -(a+b)x +ab
Here, that means the product of the factors (5 -3i)(5 +3i) is ab = 34, which it is. Their sum is (a+b) = 10, so the x-term is -(a+b)x = -10x.
