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

Mathematics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]2 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))

Answer:

D. 10x - 5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients/Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 2x + 5x

g(x) = 3x - 5

(f + g)(x) is f(x) + g(x)

<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>

f(x) = 7x

g(x) = 3x - 5

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

  1. Substitute:                     (f + g)(x) = 7x + (3x - 5)
  2. Combine like terms:     (f + g)(x) = 10x - 5
