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

Jackie is diving 25.65 feet below sea level and then dives down another 16.5 feet. Then he rose 12.45 feet. What is Jackie’s new
liq [111]

Answer:

-29.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming sea level is at 0, you would first subtract 25.65 from 0 to indicate diving 25.65 feet BELOW 0. Then, you subtract 16.5 from that. Then, add 12.45 to that number to get the answer after the diver rose 12.45 feet.

0-25.65= -25.65

-25.65-16.5= -42.15

-42.15+ 12.45= -29.7

OR 29.7 feet below sea level.

Ed takes five 100-point tests in his algebra class. He scores 87, 85 and 87 points on the first three tests. If the scores of hi
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.

If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:

\frac{87+85+87+x+(x-3)}{5}=90 and simplfiying a bit:

\frac{256+2x}{5}=90. Multiply both sides by 5 to get

256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get

2x = 194 and divide by 2:

x = 97

The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.
