Answer:

  -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I find simplest form to be easier to get to if the leading coefficient is 1. Dividing by 16, we have ...

  x^2 +5/2x +27/16 = 0

Completing the square by adding and subtracting the square of half the x-coefficient, we get ...

  (x^2 +5/2x +25/16) +27/16 -25/16 = 0

  (x +5/4)^2 = 2/16

Subtracting 2/16, taking the square root, and subtracting 5/4 gives ...

  x +5/4 = ±√(-2/16)

  x = -5/4 ±i(√2)/4

The roots are -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4.

A rectangular yard is X feet wide. The yard is 4 feet longer than it is wide. The perimeter P of yard is given by the equation P
vladimir2022 [97]

Given:

Width of the rectangular yard = x feet

Length of the rectangular yard = x+4 feet

Perimeter of the rectangular yard is:

P=4x+8

Perimeter of the yard = 84 feet

To find:

The length of the rectangular yard.

Solution:

Perimeter of the yard is 84 feet.

4x+8=84

4x=84-8

4x=76

Divide both sides by 4.

x=\dfrac{76}{4}

x=19

So, the width of the rectangular yard is 19 feet.

Length = 19+4

Length = 23

The length of the rectangular field is 23 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
