Answer: x only can have complex values, not real values.
x = -1/4 - 1/4i and x = -1/4 + 1/4 i
Explanation:
Finding the possible values of x in the expression given is solving the quadratic equation.
8x² + 4x = - 1
Rearrange the terms:
8 (x² + x/2) = - 1 ← common factor 8 in the left side
x² + x/2 = - 1/8 ← division property
x² + x/2 + 1/16 = - 1/8 + 1/16 ← addition property
(x + 1/4)² = -1/8 + 1/16 ← -factor the perfect square trinomial in the left side
(x + 1/4)² = - 1/16 ← add the fractions in the right side
x + 1/4 = (+/-) √ (-1/16) ← square roots on both sides
x + 1/4 = (+/-) (1/4)i ← complex solution
x = - 1/4 +/- 1/4i
x = - 1/4 - 1/4i and x = - 1/4 + 1/4 i ← answer
So for this, we will be using synthetic division. To set it up, have the equation so that the divisor is -10 (since that is the solution of k + 10 = 0) and the dividend are the coefficients. Our equation will look as such:
<em>(Note that synthetic division can only be used when the divisor is a 1st degree binomial)</em>
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ---------------------------
Now firstly, drop the 1:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓
- -------------------------
- 1
Next, you are going to multiply -10 and 1, and then combine the product with 2.
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ - 10
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8
Next, multiply -10 and -8, then combine the product with -82:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ -10 + 80
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8 - 2
Next, multiply -10 and -2, then combine the product with -28:
- -10 | 1 + 2 - 82 - 28
- ↓ -10 + 80 + 20
- -------------------------
- 1 - 8 - 2 - 8
Now, since we know that the degree of the dividend is 3, this means that the degree of the quotient is 2. Using this, the first 3 terms are k^2, k, and the constant, or in this case k² - 8k - 2. Now what about the last coefficient -8? Well this is our remainder, and will be written as -8/(k + 10).
<u>Putting it together, the quotient is

9
Step-by-step explanation:
3½ + 5½ can also be phrased as 3.5 + 5.5
3.5 + 5.5 = 9
Answer:
20.54%
Step-by-step explanation:
the first thing to know the percentage change, is to notice if the average increased or decreased, if it was initially 73 and then 88, we can say that increase, therefore the change is positive, now to calculate the exact change we must calculate the quotient of these numbers:
88/73 = 1.2054
which means that 0.2054 is the proportion of increase, to pass it to a percentage we must multiply by 100, that is:
0.2054 * 100 = 20.54%
which means that the percentage change was 20.54%
