Hi there!

\large\boxed{k> 6.125}

We can use discriminants to determine the value of k for which the equation would have complex solutions. (Those involving i)

If b² - 4ac < 0, then the equation will have complex solutions. Therefore:

Plug in the given values of b and a to solve:

7² - 4(2)(k) < 0

Simplify:

49 - 8k < 0

Solve the inequality:

49 < 8k

6.125 < k

k > 6.125. Anything greater than 6.125 would result in complex solutions.

The solution is (5,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the third column the equation for sum of equivalent system is given as;

8x = 40

divide both sides by 8 to get value of x

8x/8 = 40/8

x=5

Using the value of x in the fifth column's first equation will be;

4x +4y =28

4(5) + 4y =28

20 +4y =28

4y= 28-20

4y=8

divide both sides by 4 to get y

4y/4 =8/4

y=2

The solution is x=5 and y=2 written as (5,2)

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are designated by letters in corresponding positions in the triangle names. For example, of one segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of one triangle name (such as AB), then the corresponding segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of the other triangle name (such as DE).

Corresponding segments are proportional in length. Corresponding angles are congruent.
