Answer:

(x-6) (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 4x – 12

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -12 and add to -4

-6*2 = -12

-6+2 = -4

Hello there! :)

Answer:

First choice, (x + 2) and (x - 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the dimensions, recall that the formula for the volume of a rectangle is:

A = l × w

Simply factor x² -4 - 12. Find two numbers that add up to -4 and multiply into -12.

2, -6 satisfy these conditions. Use these numbers to write this equation in factored form:

(x + 2) (x - 6). Thus, the first option is the correct answer.

A bookstore had 90 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 1/6 of them. Today, it sold 1/5 of what remained. How many copies do

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

60 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

first you take 1/6th of the original 90 copies which is 15 and subtract that from the 90, you are left with 75 copies which is how many they had left at the end of yesterday. then you take 1/5th of the 75 copies that are left which is also 15 and you subtract that from 75 and you get 60. that's why at the end of today there are 60 copies left.

Let z=3+i, then find a. Z² b. |Z| c.<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7BZ%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sq

zysi [14]

Given z = 3 + i, right away we can find

(a) square

z ² = (3 + i )² = 3² + 6i + i ² = 9 + 6i - 1 = 8 + 6i

(b) modulus

|z| = √(3² + 1²) = √(9 + 1) = √10

(d) polar form

First find the argument:

arg(z) = arctan(1/3)

Then

z = |z| exp(i arg(z))

z = √10 exp(i arctan(1/3))

z = √10 (cos(arctan(1/3)) + i sin(arctan(1/3))

Any complex number has 2 square roots. Using the polar form from part (d), we have

√z = √(√10) exp(i arctan(1/3) / 2)

and

√z = √(√10) exp(i (arctan(1/3) + 2π) / 2)

Then in standard rectangular form, we have

$\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) + i \sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)\right)$

and

$\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right) + \pi\right) + i \sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right) + \pi\right)\right)$

We can simplify this further. We know that z lies in the first quadrant, so

0 < arg(z) = arctan(1/3) < π/2

which means

0 < 1/2 arctan(1/3) < π/4

Then both cos(1/2 arctan(1/3)) and sin(1/2 arctan(1/3)) are positive. Using the half-angle identity, we then have

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

and since cos(x + π) = -cos(x) and sin(x + π) = -sin(x),

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

Now, arctan(1/3) is an angle y such that tan(y) = 1/3. In a right triangle satisfying this relation, we would see that cos(y) = 3/√10 and sin(y) = 1/√10. Then

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac3{\sqrt{10}}}2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\dfrac3{\sqrt{10}}}2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

So the two square roots of z are

$\boxed{\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}} + i \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}\right)}$

and

$\boxed{\sqrt z = -\sqrt[4]{10} \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}} + i \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}\right)}$
