___________________________________________________________Explanation: _________________________________________________________We are given:
_________________________________________________________ </span>
→ "
25 = a² + b² " ; Solve for "
a" ;
_________________________________________________________ → To solve for "
a" ; we want to isolate "
a" on one side of the equation.
_________________________________________________________We can rewrite: "
25 = a² + b² " ;
as: " a² + b² = 25 " .
_________________________________________________________
Then, we can subtract "
b² " from each side of the equation; as follows:
_________________________________________________________
→ " a² + b² − b² = 25 − b² " ;
to get:
_________________________________________________________ → " a² = 25 − b² " ;
_________________________________________________________ → Now, take the square root of EACH SIDE of the equation ;
to isolate "
a" on one side of the equation; & to solve for the value(s) of "
a" ;
_________________________________________________________ → √(a²) =

;
to get:
_____________________________________________________ → a = |
| ;
→ a = ±
;
→ which is:
Answer choice: [C]: "
a = ±
" .

Answer:
$19.23
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add the prices of all 5 comics together. That should equal $17.63. The tax is 9% so that would be 1.5867 or $1.60. In total, Sami paid $19.23.
Answer:
Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots
Step-by-step explanation:
Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is a factor of P(x). According to this definition:
(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.
Simplifying the brackets, we get:
(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.
This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a) which resulted in the wrong answer.
So, the polynomial would be:
