Answer:

0.857 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour.

We need to find how much will they pave in 1 hour if they work at the same rate.

14 hours = 12 miles

To find how much they pave in 1 hour, we must divide 12 by 14 as follows :

$1\ \text{hour}=\dfrac{12}{14}\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.857\ \text{miles}$

Hence, they pave 0.857 miles in 1 hour.0.857 miles in 1 hour.

Solve for x:a(a²+b²)x²+b²x-a

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

x = a/(a² + b²) or x = -1/a

Step-by-step explanation:

a(a²+ b²)x² + b²x - a =0

Use the quadratic equation formula:

$x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

1. Evaluate the discriminant D

D = b² - 4ac = b⁴ - 4a(a² + b²)(-a) = b⁴ + 4a⁴ + 4a²b² = (b² + 2a²)²

2. Solve for x

$\begin{array}{rcl}x & = & \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{-b^{2}\pm\sqrt{(b^{2}+2a^{2})^{2}}}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{-b^{2}\pm(b^{2}+ 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b^{2}+(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\x =\dfrac{-b^{2}+(b^{2} + 2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} +2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}x = \large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{a}{a^{2} + b^{2}}}}&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-b^{2}-(b^{2} +2a^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-2b^{2}- 2a^{2}}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\dfrac{-2(a^{2}+ b^{2})}{2a(a^{2} + b^{2})}\\\\&\qquad& x =\large \boxed{\mathbf{-\dfrac{1}{a}}}\\\\\end{array}$

Let x = a + bi and y = c + di and z = f + gi

ikadub [295]

True statements:
a) x + y = y + x ⇒ commutative property of addition
b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication
d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

False statements:
c) x - y = y - x should be: x - y = - y + x
e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
