A^2-a+12=0 I need the roots

Mathematics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2-a+12=0

We will complete the square

Subtract 12 from each side

a^2-a+12-12=0-12

a^2-a=-12

The coefficient of a = -1

-Divide by 2 and then square it

(-1/2) ^2 = 1/4

Add it to each side

a^2 -a +1/4=-12 +1/4

(a-1/2)^2 = -11 3/4

(a-1/2)^2= -47/4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((a-1/2)^2) =sqrt(-47/4)

a-1/2 = ±i sqrt(1/4) sqrt(47)

a-1/2= ±i/2 sqrt(47)

Add 1/2 to each side

a-1/2+1/2 = 1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)

a =  1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)

a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))

Find the 31st term of the following sequence.. . 9, 15, 21, .... . . 186. 189. 195. . . is there an easy way to do this.
Alja [10]
This problem is an example of an arithmetic series.

The common difference of the second term (15) with the first term (9) and the third term (21) with the second term (15) [15-9=6; 21-15=6] is 6.

The formula for solving this is:
An= A1 +(n-1)*d where An is the nth term, A1 is the first term, n is the number of terms and d is the common difference.

An=9+ (31-1)*6 = 189

The answer is 189.

(0, -9) and (-3, -3)<br> I need this problem solved with work please!
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

-9-(-3)/0-(-3) = -3/3 = -1

y+9= -1(x-0) <u><em>Point Slope form</em></u>

y+9<u>-9</u>= -1x<u>-9</u>

y= -x-9 <em><u>Slope Intercept form</u></em>

y<u>+x+9</u> = -x-9 <u>+x+9</u>

y+x+9= 0 <u><em>General form</em></u>
