Problem 1
Do you know what a complex number is? If you do not, you can get an answer but not one you will like much.

(3x)^2 + 27 = 0               remove the brackets. Remember to square what's inside the brackets.

9x^2 + 27 = 0                Divide both terms by 9
9x^2/9 + 27/9 = 0

x^2 + 3 =  0                  Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^2 = -3                        Take the square root from both sides.
x = sqrt(-3)                    but the square root of - 3 = 3i
x = i*sqrt(3)

Problem 2
x^ - 8x + 1 = 0
a = 1
b = - 8
c = 1

x = [- -8 +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c) ]/(2*a)     Quadratic formula
x = [ 8 +/- sqrt( (-8)^2 - 4(1*1)]/2          Substitute Givens and combine
x = [ 8 +/- sqrt( 64 - 4 )] /2                    Subtract 4
x = [ 8 +/- sqrt (60)]/2                            Break 60 into 4 * 15 
x = [ 8 +/- sqrt (4*15)]/2                         Notice 4 is a perfect square. sqrt4 = 2
x = [ 8 +/- 2*sqrt(15)] / 2                        Divide through by 2
x = 8/2 +/- sqrt (15)
x = 4 +/- sqrt(15) the twos were gone

Jimmy gets a discount of 35% for a pair of sneakers with an original price of $70. He also gets a discount of 25% on a shirt wit
Tanya [424]
First find the total without using the dicounts. then do 70×.35 which is 35% as a decimal. your answer is the dicounts but that is how much you are taking off. .35×70= 24.5 then you would do 70-24.5=45.5 then do the same for the other amount. add these two amounts together. ( 30×.25=7.5 30-7.5= 22.5) 45.5+22.5= 68 then do your first answer - 68 and that is how much is saved

I need help with this
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider two points through which the line passes through

(x_1 , y _ 1 ) = ( 0 , 4 ) \ and \  (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = ( 4, 2 )

Step 1 : <em><u>Find slope of the line</u></em>

Slope, m_1 = \frac{rise}{run}  \\\\That \ is \ m_1 \ = \frac{y_2 - y _ 1}{x_2 - x_1}

                  = \frac{2 - 4}{4-0} \\\\=-\frac{2}{4}\\\\= - \frac{1}{2}

Step 2 : <em><u>Find equation of the line.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>(y - y _ 1) = m_ 1 (x - x_1)\\\\( y - 4) = - \frac{1}{2}(x - 0)\\\\y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4<em><u /></em>
