Xy  14
x + y = -4

     x + y = -4
x - x + y = -x - 4
           y = -x - 4

                                                   xy = 14
                                          x(-x - 4) = 14
                                      x(-x) - x(4) = 14
                                           -x² - 4x = 14
                                    -x² - 4x - 14 = 0
                       -1(x²) - 1(4x) - 1(14) = 0
                              -1(x² + 4x + 14) = 0
                                          -1            -1
                                    x² + 4x + 14 = 0
                                    x = -(4) ± √((4)² - 4(1)(14))
                                                         2(1)
                                    x = -4 ± √(16 - 56)
                                                    2
                                    x = -4 ± √(-40)
                                                  2
                                    x = -4 ± 2i√(10)
                                                 2
                                    x = -2 ± i√(10)

                  x + y = -4
   -2 ± i√(10) + y = -4
- (-2 ± i√(10))     - (-2 ± i√(10))
                       y = -2 ± i√(10)
                 (x, y) = (-2 ± √(10), -2 ± √(10))

The two numbers that multiply to 14 and add up to -4 are -2 ± i√(10).

Can anyone please help me solve this one?<br>the result have to be in positive integers​
GalinKa [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a²-b²)(c²-d²) = a²c² - a²d² - b²c² + b²d²

(b²-d²)(c²-a²) = b²c² - a²b² - c²d² + a²d²

the sum of both is

a²c² + b²d² - a²b² - c²d² = a²(c²-b²) + d²(b²-c²) =

= a²(c²-b²) - d²(c²-b²) = (c²-b²)(a²-d²) = 2021

after a little check we find 2021 is only divisible by 43 and 47 (or 1 and 2021).

so, it is clear that our expression resembles

43×47 = 2021

that means that e.g. c²-b² = 43, and a²-d² = 47

or the other way around, it does not matter.

what squared integer numbers give a difference of 43 ? and 47 ?

squared numbers

1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 121 144 169 196 225 256

289 324 361 400 441 484 529 576

aha ! 484 - 441 = 43

and 576 - 529 = 47

so, we get

a = sqrt(576) = 24

b = sqrt(441) = 21

c = sqrt(484) = 22

d = sqrt(529) = 23

one could also use the formula for consecutive squared numbers

(n+1)² = n² + 2n + 1

under the assumption that the 2 numbers are convective (which it turns out they are in this example) we get

(n+1)² - n² = 2n + 1 = 43

2n = 42

n = 21

n+1 = 22

and for 47

2n + 1 = 47

2n = 46

n = 23

n+1 = 24

             what is the volume of an area? what is a polynomial?
Anon25 [30]
First off, there can't be a volume of an area.
A polynomial is basically a equation that has 2 or more terms that have to be algebraic.

Find the length of the mid segment (median)
velikii [3]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Median of a trapezoid = sum of 2 bases divided by 2

Bases = 10 and 16

Median = (10 + 16)/2

10 + 16 = 26

26/2 = 13

Median = 13
