Answer:

x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}

x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

You can identify that, in this case:

a=-10\\b=12\\c=-9

Now you need to substitute these values into the formula:

x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{12^2-4(-10)(-9)}}{2(-10)}

x=\frac{-12\±\sqrt{-216}}{-20}

Remember that:

i=\sqrt{-1}

Therefore,rewriting and simplifying, you get:

x=\frac{-12\±6i\sqrt{6}}{-20}

x=\frac{-6(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{-2(10)}

x=\frac{3(2\±i\sqrt{6})}{10}

Then, you get the following roots:

x_1=\frac{3(2+i\sqrt{6})}{10}

x_2=\frac{3(2-i\sqrt{6})}{10}

Answer:

x = 3[2 + i√-6]/10 or x = 3[2 - i√-6]/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Solution of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

<u>To find the solution</u>

It is given that,

-10x² + 12x - 9 = 0

here a = -10, b = 12 and c = -9

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

  = [-12 ± √(12² - 4* -10 * -9)]/2 * -10

 = [-12 ± √(144 - 360)]/-20

 =[12 ± √-216]/20

 = [12 ± i6√-6]/20

 =  [6 ± i3√-6]/10

 = 3[2 ± i√-6]/10

x = 3[2 + i√-6]/10 or x = 3[2 - i√-6]/10

(3a) You spend $72 on tapes and CDs. Each tape costs $8 and each CD costs $12.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

3a. 8t + 12c = 72

3b. t + c = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

number of tapes is t

number of Cds is c

so 8t + 12c = 72

and t + c = 7

so t = 7 - c

replace t = 7 - c in to the first equation

8(7 - c) + 12c = 72

56 - 8c + 12c = 72

4c = 72 - 56 = 16

c = 4

if c = 4, then t = 7 - c = 7 - 4 = 3

Evaluate the expression:<br><br> for y = 2 + 3x when x=4. What does y=?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 as x into the equation:

y = 2 + 3x

y = 2 + 3(4)

Simplify:

y = 2 + 12

y = 14

So, when x = 4, y = 14.

At which root does the graph of f(x) = (x – 5)3(x + 2)2 touch the x-axis?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The root will touch the axis and bounce off when the exponent is even. In that case, that means (x + 2)² is the binomial that will bounce. Therefore, the root which bounces and touches the x-axis is x = -2.
