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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students =100

Number who bought pop corn = 62

Number who bought drinks = 47

Number who bought both =38

Hence number who did not purchase anything = 100-(62+47-38)

=29

Prob that students buys a drink = 47/100 = 0.47

PROB THAT THE  student buys a drink/he purchsaed pop corn

= Number for both/number of pop corn

=38/62 =0.613

P(buying pop corn) = 0.62 and P(drink) = 0.47

Product of these = 0.62*0.37=0.2356

Thus we find product is not equal to Prob of purchsing both

Hence cannot be independent

Write the improper fraction as a mixed number or a whole number 13/4
Dominik [7]
13/4 would be 3 1/4. this is because 4 can go into 13 3 times leaving 1/4 left over. hence making it a mixed number. as a whole number it would be 3.25 because 4 can go into 13 3 times and 1/4 is .25, hope this helps!:)

How to graph 200-25x=y
In-s [12.5K]
Simplifying
y = -25x + 200

Reorder the terms:
y = 200 + -25x

Solving
y = 200 + -25x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
y = 200 + -25x
