Answer:

One possible solution is 5 + i√3.

(there are 2 solutions 5 + i√3 and 5 - i√3).

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 5)^2 + 5 = 2

(x - 5)^2 = -3

Take square roots of both sides:

x - 5 = √-3

x - 5 = i√3

x = 5 ± i√3.

The solutions are both complex numbers.

Why is a regression line referred to as the line of best fit?

aalyn [17]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When there is a linear relationship is observed between the variables, we use linear regression predict the relationship between them.

Also, we predict the values for dependent variable by modelling a linear model that best fits the data by drawing a line Y=a+bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable.

In other words: The line of best fit is a line through a scatter plot of data points that best describes the relationship between them.

That's why the regression line referred to as the line of best fit.

Answer:

Solution ( Second Attachment ) : - 2.017 + 0.656i

Solution ( First Attachment ) : 16.140 - 5.244i

Step-by-step explanation:

Second Attachment : The quotient of the two expressions would be the following,

$6\left[\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi \:}{5}\right)\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

So if we want to determine this expression in standard complex form, we can first convert it into trigonometric form, then apply trivial identities. Either that, or we can straight away apply the following identities and substitute,

( 1 ) cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x)

( 2 ) sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x)

If cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), then cos(2π / 5) = sin(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = sin(π / 10). Respectively sin(2π / 5) = cos(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = cos(π / 10). Let's simplify sin(π / 10) and cos(π / 10) with two more identities,

( 1 ) $\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

( 2 ) $\sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

These two identities makes sin(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and cos(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ .

Therefore cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ . Substitute,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

Remember that cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting those values,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$

And now simplify this expression to receive our answer,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$ = $-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}+\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}i$ ,

$-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $-2.01749\dots$ and $\:\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $0.65552\dots$

= $-2.01749+0.65552i$

As you can see our solution is option c. - 2.01749 was rounded to - 2.017, and 0.65552 was rounded to 0.656.

First Attachment : We know from the previous problem that cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting we receive a simplified expression,

$6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}-6i\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}$
