Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:
x^2 + 16 = 0
x^2 = -16
The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.
Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:
±√-16 = ±4i
Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:
(x + 4i)(x - 4i)
If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
Answer:
i
Step-by-step explanation:
because you can't technically can't find the square root of -1, so it's an imaginary number
Andrew can reach a maximum of
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the
ratio. that is

where
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get

Since Andrew can reach an extra
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

Answer:
First lets find the area of the bottom circle:
7.2 is your radius so:
7.2^2 = 51.84 the reason why you square your radius is because thats apart of the formula when finding the are of a circle.
lets continue:
51.84 x 3.14(pi) = 162.7776
Now we need to find the area of the round surface but first we need to find the circumference of one circle and multiply it by the height.
2 x 3.14 x 7.2 = 45.216
Now lets multiply it by the height:
45.216 x 17 = 768.672
Now lets add both areas:
768.672 + 162.7776 = 931.4496 dont forget to round to the nearest hundredths place! 931.4496 rounded up = 931.45 square meters is your answer.
