Answer:

d) 4 ± 5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to use the quadratic formula.

x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

In the given equation x^2 - 8x + 41 = 0, a =1, b = -8 and c = 41

Now plug in the given values in the above formula, we get

x = \frac{-(-8) +/- \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4*1*41} }{2*1}

Simplifying the above, we get

x = \frac{8 +/- \sqrt{64 - 164} }{2}

x = \frac{8 +/- \sqrt{-100} }{2}

[√-100 = √-1 *√100 = i*10 = 10i] because the value of √-1 = i]

x = (8 ± 10i )/2

Now dividing by 2, we get

x = 4 ± 5i

The answer is d) 4 ± 5i

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Answer:

Choice d is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a quadratic equation.

x²-8x+41 = 0

We have to solve above equation using quadratic formula.

x²-8x+41 = 0 is general form of quadratic equation, where a = 1, b = -8 and c = 41.

x = (-b±√b²-4ac) / 2a is quadratic formula.

Putting given values in above equation, we have

x =  (-(-8)±√(-8)²-4(1)(41) ) / 2(1)

x  =  (8±√64-164) / 2

x  =  (8±√-100) / 2

x  =  (8±√100√-1) / 2

x =  (8 ± 10i) / 2

x  =  4±5i  which is the solution of given equation.

When converting from inches to feet, the measurement in inches, m, of an object varies directly with its measurement in feet, f,
jonny [76]

Step-by-step explanation:

wow, how complicated can one phrase this ...

the point being :

1 ft = 12 in and vice versa (1 in = 1/12 ft)

so, any measurements given in feet but needed in inches need to be multiplied by 12.

and any measurements given in inches but needed in feet need to be divided by 12.

so,

3.5 ft = 3.5×12 = 7/2 × 12 = 7×6 = 42 in

27 in = 27/12 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 or 2.25 ft

Write 4x2(–2x2 + 5x3) in standard form. Then classify it by degree and number of terms.
umka2103 [35]
20x^5-8x^4 polynomial of the 5th degree, with two terms.

Distribute 4x^2(–2x^2 + 5x^3) to get –8x^2 + 20x^5. Reorder in standard form 20x^5-8x^4.  5 is the highest exponent so it is the 5th degree, there are two terms because terms are separated by a plus or minus.
