Answer:

x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x = 1 - i sqrt(7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x^2 - 4 x + 9 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

x^2 - 2 x + 9/2 = 0

Subtract 9/2 from both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = -9/2

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = -7/2

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = -7/2

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = i sqrt(7/2) or x - 1 = -i sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x - 1 = -i sqrt(7/2)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + i sqrt(7/2) or x = 1 - i sqrt(7/2)

A box of Munchkins contains chocolate and glazed donut holes. If Jacob ate 2 chocolate

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

24 munchkins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the number of chocolate and D be number of glazed donut holes in the original box.

We are told if Jacob ate 2 chocolate munchkins, then 1/11 of the remaining Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:

$C-2=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)...(1)$

We are also told if he instead added 4 glazed Munchkins to the original box, 1/7 of the Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:

$C=\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)...(2)$

Upon substituting C's value from equation (2) in equation (1) we will get,

$\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)-2=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)$

Let us have a common denominator on right side of equation.

$\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)-\frac{7*2}{7}=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)$

$\frac{C+D+4-14}{7}=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)$

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 7, we will get,

$7*\frac{C+D-10}{7}=7*\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)$

$C+D-10=\frac{7}{11}*(C+D-2)$

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 11, we will get,

$11*(C+D-10)=11*\frac{7}{11}*(C+D-2)$

$11*(C+D-10)=7*(C+D-2)$

$11C+11D-110=7C+7D-14$

$11C-7C+11D-7D=-14+110$

$4C+4D=96$

$4(C+D)=96$

$(C+D)=\frac{96}{4}$

$(C+D)=24$

Therefore, the total number of Munchkins in original box is 24.
