Answer: The solutions are : 2, -1 + \sqrt{3}i , -1 - \sqrt{3}i

Our equation is x^{3} - 8 = 0

and we know that: 8 = 2^{3}

then we can write our equation as: x^{3} - 2^{3} = 0

And using the identity: a^{3} - b^{3} = (a-b)*(a^{2} +ab+ b^{2} )

where a = x and b = 2, then our equation is:

x^{3} - 2^{3} = (x-2)*(x^{2} +2x+ 2^{2} )= 0

them, if x = 2 the first part is zero, so x = 2 is a solution, and now we need to see the second part in order to find the complex solutions.

x^{2} + 2x + 4 = 0

Here we need to use Bhaskara:

if ax^{2}+ bx + c=0 for a, b and c constants, then:

x = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

in our problem we have:

x = \frac{-2 +-\sqrt{4 - 16} }{2} = -1 +-\sqrt{\frac{4 - 16}{4} } = -1 +- \sqrt{-3}  = -1 +-\sqrt{3} i

So here we have two complex solutions: x = -1 + \sqrt{3}i and x = -1 - \sqrt{3} i.

Answer:

Solutions are 2,  -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i

or 2,  -1 +  1.58 i  and -1 - 1.58i

(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).


Step-by-step explanation:

The real solution is x = 2:-

x^3 - 8 = 0

x^3 = 8

x = cube root of 8 = 2

Note that a cubic equation must have  a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case).  We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-

a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).

Here  a = x and b = 2 so we have

(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0

To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-

Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2

= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2

= -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i

Find the equation of the line with slope 7 which goes through the point (-2,-9).
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y=7x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-9)=7(x-(-2))

y+9=7(x+2)

y+9=7x+14

y=7x+14-9

y=7x+5

If the sin 30 degrees is 1/2 then the cos ____=____.
goldenfox [79]
  Try A) 60 degrees; 1/2. Your answer was incorrect because cos(60 degrees) is 1/2, cos(30 degrees) is square root 3 /2 not 1 or square root 2 /2

Answer:

ABC is translated right 5 units and down 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the original and new triangles haven't moved. Only the triangle as a whole moved from one place to another. The other choices involved reflecting the triangle in which the vertices change locations that are different from their original locations. Hope this helps!
