Answer:

1/4h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time for the car trip is x, then given that a car trip is 1/2h shorter than a bus trip, it means that adding 1/2h to the time for a car trip gives the time for the bus trip.

Hence, the time for the bus trip

= (1/2 + x)h

since the bus trip is 3/4h, it means that

1/2 + x = 3/4

collecting like terms,

x = 3/4 - 1/2

= 3/4 - 2/4

= 1/4

Hence the car trip is 1/4h.

The roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 are 1+i 5 and 1−i 5 . Find possible values of a, b and c.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots are 1 + 5i and 1 - 5i, then you need the factors that result from those roots. They are (x - 1 + 5i) and (x - 1 - 5i). Now what you do with those is FOIL them out. Doing that gives you the following:

$x^2-x+5ix-x+1-5i-5ix+5i-25i^2$ (what a mess, huh?)

The good thing is that several of those terms cancel each other out. +5ix cancels out the -5ix; -5i cancels out the 5i; and the 2 -x terms combine to -2x. That leaves you with:

$x^2-2x-25i^2$

Obviously you're in the section in math that deals with complex (imaginary) numbers so you should know that i-squared is equal to -1. Making that replacement:

$x^2-2x+25$
