X+4 divided by x^2+16<br><br> Why can't it be simplified?

KonstantinChe [14]

Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:

x^2 + 16 = 0

x^2 = -16

The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.

Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:

±√-16 = ±4i

Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:

(x + 4i)(x - 4i)

If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.

James has a bag 77 of nickels and dimes. The total value of coins is $6.60. How many dimes does James have?

tatuchka [14]

James has 55 dimes in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

James has in a bag 77 of nickels and dimes
The total value of coins is $6.60

We need to find how many dimes James has

Assume that the number of nickels is x and the number of

dimes is y in the bag

∵ There are x nickels in the bag

∵ There are y dimes in the bag

∵ There are 77 coins in the bag

∴ x + y = 77 ⇒ (1)

∵ 1 nickel = 5 cents

∴ The value of nickles in the bag = 5x cents

∵ 1 dime = 10 cents

∴ The value of dimes in the bag = 10y cents

∵ The total value of coins is $6.60

∵ 1 dollar = 100 cents

∴ $6.60 = 6.60 × 100 = 660 cents

∴ 5x + 10y = 660 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -770 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -5x = -110

- Divide both sides by -5

∴ x = 22

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ 22 + y = 77

- Subtract 22 from both sides

∴ y = 55

∴ The number of dimes is 55

James has 55 dimes in the bag

Solve using quadratic formula<br> 6x^2-x=2

Nadya [2.5K]

$6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$
