Answer:

x-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots come in pairs, called complex conjugates

If you have a root a+bi, the other root is a-bi

Since you have one root x+2i, the other root is x-2i

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.59x+0.29=7.2

-0.59x+0.29-0.29=7.2-0.29

-0.59x=7.2

divide both sides by -0.59

x=− 11.7118644

that can be rounded to x= -11.7

Answer:

y = -16 (x - 1)^2 + 112

The object lands on the ground in approximately 3.6s

Explanation:

The equation given is that of a parabola.

Now the maximum (local) point of a parabola is the vertex. Therefore, if we want to rewrite our function in the form that would be used to find the maximum height, then that form must be the vertex form of a parabola.

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(t-h)^2+k$

where (h, k) is the vertex.

The only question is, what is the vertex for our function h(t)?

Remember that if we have an equation of the form

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Now in our case b = 32 and a = -16; therefore,

$h=\frac{-32}{2(16)}=1$

We've found the value of the x-coordinate of the vertex. What about the y-coordinate? To get the y-coordinate, we put x = 1 into h(t) and get

$k=-16(1)+32(1)+96=112$

Hence, the y-coordindate is k = 112.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 112).

With the coordinates of the vertex in hand, we now write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

$h(t)=a(t-1)^2+112$

The only problem is that we don't know what the value of a is. How do we find a?

Note that the point (0, 96) lies on the parabola. In other words,

$h(0)=-16(0)^2+32(0)+96=96$

Therefore, the vertex form of the parabola must also contain the point (0, 96).

Putting in t = 0, h = 96 into the vertex form gives

$96=a(0-1)^2+112$ $96=a+112$

subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$a=-16$

With the value of a in hand, we can finally write the equation of the parabola on vertex form.

$\boxed{h\mleft(t\mright)=-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112.}$

Now when does the object hit the ground? In other words, for what value of t is h(t) = 0? To find out we just have to solve the following for t.

$h(t)=0.$

We could either use h(t) = -16t^2 + 32t + 96 or the h(t) = -16(t - 1)^2 + 112 for the above equation. But it turns out, the vertex form is more convenient.

Thus we solve,
