Answer:

No real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the discriminant formula, D = b² - 4ac

D = b² - 4ac

Plug in b, a, and c:

D = b² - 4ac

D = (8)² - 4(1)(20)

D = 64 - 80

D = -16

Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions

I’m stuck on this I would really appreciate if someone could answer this and explain so I could understand better :)

BARSIC [14]

Complementary angles have a sum of 90 degree, right angle
It would be C. Since it’s the only 2 angles that form a right angle

Using these complex zeros (1,1,-1/2,2+i,2-i) factor f(x)=-2x^5 +11x^4 -22x^3 +14x^2 +4x -5

Marianna [84]

$\bf \begin{cases}
x=1\implies &x-1=0\\
x=1\implies &x-1=0\\
x=-\frac{1}{2}\implies 2x=-1\implies &2x+1=0\\
x=2+i\implies &x-2-i=0\\
x=2-i\implies &x-2+i=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(x-1)(x-1)(2x+1)(x-2-i)(x-2+i)=\stackrel{original~polynomial}{0}
\\\\\\
(x-1)^2(2x+1)~\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{[(x-2)-(i)][(x-2)+(i)]}$

$\bf (x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x-2)^2-(i)^2]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x^2-4x+4)-(-1)]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[(x^2-4x+4)+1]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)~[x^2-4x+5]
\\\\\\
(x^2-2x+1)(2x+1)(x^2-4x+5)$

of course, you can always use (x-1)(x-1)(2x+1)(x²-4x+5) as well.

A ball is floating partially submerged in a liquid. Which quantity equals the buoyant force acting on the ball? mass of the ball

REY [17]

For something to float the buoyant force ( force pushing up on the object to keep it floating) needs to equal the weight of the object

the answer would be: <span>weight of the ball</span>

-34 + 91 = -3 (4x + 1) + 6x

ra1l [238]

$-34 + 91 = -3(4x+1) + 6x\\57 = -12x - 3 + 6x\\6x = -60\\x= -10\\$

Thus x = -10.

Hope that helps!
