I believe the length of the actual room would be 12 ft.

To figure this out, first find how many feet one inch represents.
8/2, or 4 feet. <
Then, we have 3 inches. Since 1 inch represents 4 feet, 3 inches must represent 12 feet, as 3*4=12.

Hope this helped! :)

2 in: 8 ft simplifies to 1 in: 4 ft which is just generally easier to work with.

1 in: 4 ft = 3 in: x ft

x ft= 4*3 = 12

The length of the actual room is 12 feet.

Hope this helps!

What are the solutions of x^2-2x+5=0

sweet [91]

The solution of $x^{2}-2 x+5=0$ are 1 + 2i and 1 – 2i

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, equation is $x^{2}-2 x+5=0$

We have to find the roots of the given quadratic equation

Now, let us use the quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ --- (1)

<em><u>Let us determine the nature of roots:</u></em>

Here in $x^{2}-2 x+5=0$ a = 1 ; b = -2 ; c = 5

$b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4(1)(5) = 4 - 20 = -16$

Since $b^2 - 4ac < 0$ , the roots obtained will be complex conjugates.

Now plug in values in eqn 1, we get,

$x=\frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 5}}{2 \times 1}$

On solving we get,

$x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-20}}{2}$

$x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-16}}{2}$

$x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{-1}}{2}$

we know that square root of -1 is "i" which is a complex number

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{x}=\frac{2 \pm 4 i}{2}} \\\\ {\mathrm{x}=1 \pm 2 i}\end{array}$

Hence, the roots of the given quadratic equation are 1 + 2i and 1 – 2i

(x-1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 73<br> What is the center ?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

centre = (1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 1)² + (y + 3)² = 73 ← is in standard form

with (h, k ) = (1, - 3 ) ← centre
