Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

 

Answer:

   4 + i

Discussion:

    Let's verify the square root given above:

   (4 + i) ^ 2= 4^2 + i^2 + 8i = 16 - 1 + 81 = 15 +8i

   so (4+i) is indeed a square root.


    How did I find this? Suppose that

    sqrt(15 + 8i) = a + bi

    Squaring both sides gives

       15 + 8i = a^2 + 2abi + b^2*i^2 or

       15 + 8i = a^2 + 2abi + b^2 (-1) or

       15 + 8i = (a^2 - b^2) + (2ab)i.

   Equating real and imaginary parts gives:

         a^2 - b^2 = 15 and    2ab = 8

  Now 2ab= 8 =>  b = 8/(2a) = 4/a. Substitute this value in the equation

  a^2 - b^2 = 15 to get

  a^2 - (4/a)^2 = 15.            Multiply both sides by a^2

  (a^2) * (a^2) - (4/a)^2 * (a^2) = 15 * a^2  or

  (a^4) - 16 =  15 a^2 or rearranging

  (a^2) ^2 - 15 (a^2) - 16 = 0.

  This is a quadratic equation in a^2! Use the quadratic formula to solve for

  a^2 . You will get that a^2  = -1 ( no way!  ) or a^2 = 16. If a^2 = 16, then

  a = 4 and from 2ab = 8, 2(4)b = 8, or 8b = 8 or b = 1.

I am now officially tired...... hope this helps.



Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

  A-  Triangle 2: {8, 15, 17}

Step-by-step explanation:

You may recognize that the triple of choice A is a Pythagorean triple, so can be the side lengths of a right triangle.

Checking the numbers can be done nicely by a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to help avoid the tedium of doing it "by hand".

The basic idea is that the triangle will be a right triangle if the sum of the squares of the shorter sides is the square of the longer side.

The circumference of a circle is 106.76 meters. What is the circle's diameter?
Flura [38]
C = 2*pi*r
So, C = pi*d
106.76 = pi*d
106.76/pi = d
d = ~33.98
