Arlecino [84]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -7 or  x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

    (x + 3)²  = -16

 

Problem;

   Solve for x;

Solution:

 To solve for x; we use the factorization method;

     Take -16 to the left of the equation;

      (x + 3)²  = -16

         (x + 3)² + 16 = 0

       (x+ 3)² + 4²  = 0

if    x² + y²  = (x + y)(x - y)

     So;

       (x + 3 + 4) (x + 3 - 4) = 0

       (x + 7)(x - 1) = 0

       x + 7  = 0 or x - 1 = 0

      x = -7 or  x = 1

If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has a discriminant of 3 then the two roots must be
lukranit [14]

In a quadratic equation

q(x) = ax^2 + bx + c 

The discriminant is = b^2 - 4ac

We have that discriminant = 3

If b^2 - 4ac > 0, then the roots are real.

If b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary

<span>In this problem b^2 - 4ac > 0   3 > 0 </span>

then the two roots must be real

This composite shape is a rectangle with a semicircle attached on one end. The diameter of the semicircle is 6 feet.What is the
Olin [163]
We know that
area of the composite figure=area of the rectangle+area of semicircle

area of rectangle=b*h
b=10 ft
h=6 ft
area rectangle=10*6----> 60 ft²

area of semicircle=pi*r²/2
r=6/2----> 3 ft
area of semicircle=pi*3²/2-----> 14.13 ft²

area of the composite figure=[60+14.13]-----> 74.13 ft²-----> 74 ft²

the answer is
74 ft²
