Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 6x = −18? x = 3 − 3i x = −3 + 3i x = −6 + 3i x = 6 − 3i

Marina86 [1]

Step 1 ) Move all terms right side of the equation.

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x = -18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x + 18 = -18 + 18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

Step 2 ) Apply quadratic formula. (Note: There are 2 solutions)

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+\sqrt{6^{2}-4 * 18}}{2} , \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^{2}-4*18}}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

Step 3 ) Simplify.

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = -3+ 3i$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

Since the options only provide one of the answer we found, the answer is...

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

If SV⊥RT, m∠RSU = (17x – 3)°, and m∠UST = (6x – 1)°, find TSV

goblinko [34]

Applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.

<h3>How to Apply the Linear Pair Theorem?</h3>

Given the following angles in the image above:

Measure angle RSU = (17x - 3)°,

Measure angle UST = (6x – 1)°

To find the measure of angle TSV, we need to find the value of x in the given expressions as shown below:

m∠RSU + m∠UST = 180 degrees (linear pair]

Substitute the values

17x - 3 + 6x - 1 = 180

Solve for x

23x - 4 = 180

23x = 180 + 4

23x = 184

x = 8

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(m∠UST) [Linear Pair Theorem]

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6x - 1)

Plug in the value of x

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6(8) - 1)

m∠TSV = 86°

Therefore, applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.

The sum of four consecutive odd number is 8o. Find the number

yarga [219]

Answer:

The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 80

Let X be the first of these numbers

Then the next odd number is X+2

The third is X+4The fourth is X+6

All of these add up to 80

(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 80

Using the commutative and associative laws, let's transform this equation into

(X + X + X + X) + (2 + 4 + 6) = 804X + 12 = 80

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation gives4X = 68

Divide both sides by 4 gives

X = 17

Going back to the original question:What are the 4 consecutive odd numbers: 17, 19, 21, 23Checking our answer:17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 80 Correct!
