This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2

xy=44\\
x+y=12\\\\
xy=44\\
x=12-y\\\\
(12-y)y=44\\
12y-y^2=44\\
y^2-12y+44=0\\
y^2-12y+36+8=0\\
(y-6)^2=-8


No solutions in real numbers.

In complex numbers:
(y-6)^2=-8\\
y-6=-\sqrt{-8} \vee y-6=\sqrt{-8}\\
y=6-2\sqrt2 i \vee y=6+2\sqrt2 i\\\\
x=12-(6-2\sqrt2i) \vee x=12-(6+2\sqrt2i)\\
x=12-6+2\sqrt2i \vee x=12-6-2\sqrt2i\\
x=6+2\sqrt2i \vee x=6-2\sqrt2i

These numbers are 6-2\sqrt2i and 6+2\sqrt2i.

A number subtracted from 11 is the quotient of -20 and -2. Find the number.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

-20 divided by -2 is the same as 20 divided by 2, which is 10. 11-10=1 so the answer is 1.

Use the functions h(x) = 2x − 5 and t(x) = 6x + 4 to complete the function operations listed below.
Anika [276]
For this case we have the following functions:
 h (x) = 2x - 5
 t (x) = 6x + 4

 Part A: (h + t) (x)
 (h + t) (x) = h (x) + t (x)
 (h + t) (x) = (2x - 5) + (6x + 4)
 (h + t) (x) = 8x - 1

 Part B: (h ⋅ t) (x)
 (h ⋅ t) (x) = h (x) * t (x)
 (h ⋅ t) (x) = (2x - 5) * (6x + 4)
 (h ⋅ t) (x) = 12x ^ 2 + 8x - 30x - 20
 (h ⋅ t) (x) = 12x ^ 2 - 22x - 20

 Part C: h [t (x)]
 h [t (x)] = 2 (6x + 4) - 5
 h [t (x)] = 12x + 8 - 5
 h [t (x)] = 12x + 3

Bad White [126]

Answer:

65.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

x = score

Percentage below C :

D = 18% ; F = 12%

Sum = 30%

Obtain the Zscore for the proportion below D

P(Z < 0.30) = -0.524

Hence, Zscore = -0.524

Put Zscore = -0.524 in the equation :

-0.524 = (x - 72) / 12.5

-0.524 * 12.5 = x - 72

-6.55 = x - 72

-6.55 + 72 = x

x = 65.45

To receive a grade of C or better, score must be atleast 65.45
