What multiples to 42 and adds to -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 42

x+y = - 2                   Substitute into the top equation

y = -2 - x                   Put in for y

x(-2 - x) = 42             Remove the brackets

-2x - x^2 = 42           Subtract 42 from both sides.

-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0      Put in the more normal order.

-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0      Multiply by -1

x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0

This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.

x1 = - 1 + 6.40i

x2 = -1 - 6.40i

Answer:

5

5Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the distance formula you can solve it pretty easily. The distance formula is:

d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2} \\

The two points you want are A and D. A is (-1, -4) and D is (3, -1). Plug that into the formula...

d = \sqrt{(3 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - (-4))^2}

d = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2}

d = \sqrt{16 + 9}

d = \sqrt{25}

5

I can solve it in a different way if you want me to.
