Short Answer
There are two numbers
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682i   <<<< answer 1
x2 = - 0.25 - 0.9582i   <<<< answer 2 
 
I take it there are two such numbers.
Let one number = x
Let one number = y

x + y = -0.5    
y = - 0.5 - x       (1)
xy = 1               (2)

Put equation 1 into equation 2
xy = 1
x(-0.5 - x) = 1
-0.5x - x^2 = 1               Subtract 1 from both sides.
-0.5x - x^2 - 1 = 0          Order these by powers
-x^2 - 0.5x -1 = 0           Multiply though by - 1
x^2 + 0.5x + 1 = 0         Use the quadratic formula to solve this.

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

a = 1
b = 0.5
c = 1


\text{x = }\dfrac{ -0.5 \pm \sqrt{0.5^{2} - 4*1*1 } }{2*1}

x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(0.25 - 4)] / 2
x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(-3.75)] / 2
x = [-0.25 +/- 0.9682i

x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682 i
x2 = -0.25 - 0.9682 i

These two are conjugates. They will add  as x1 + x2 = -0.25 - 0.25 = - 0.50.

The complex parts cancel out.  Getting them to multiply to 1 will be a little more difficult. I'll do that under the check.

Check
(-0.25 - 0.9682i)(-0.25 + 0.9682i)
Use FOIL
F:-0.25 * -0.25 = 0.0625
O: -0.25*0.9682i
I: +0.25*0.9682i
L: -0.9682i*0.9682i = - 0.9375 i^2 = 0.9375

Notice
The two middle terms (labled "O" and "I" ) cancel out. They are of opposite signs.

The final result is 0.9375 and 0.0625 add up to 1

⦁ The population of the Tallahassee metropolitan area was 382,627 at the end of 2017 with a growth rate of 2.78%. Using the expo
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The exponential growth model for the population of the Tallahassee metropolitan area is y=382627(1.0278)^t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential formula is

y=b(1+r)^t

Where b is initial population, r is growth rate, (1+r) is growth factor and t is time (in years) after the initial year.

The population of the Tallahassee metropolitan area was 382,627 at the end of 2017. The growth rate is 2.78%.

Here the initial year is 2017 and rate is 0.0278

y=382627(1+0.0278)^t

y=382627(1.0278)^t

Graph of the equation is shown below. The x-axis represents the number of years after 2017 and y-axis represents the total population.

Difference between 2025 and 2017 is 8 years. Put t=8

y=382627(1.0278)^8

y=382627(1.0278)^8

y=476479.828188\approx 476479

Therefore the projected population in 2025 is 476479.

3. Use the following table to answer questions (a – c).
sineoko [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

B) The correlation coefficient is r=0.75, which can be determined by plugging the data into a TI-84 calculator.

C) A correlation coefficient of r=0.75 indicates that the correlation between the independent and dependent variable (x and y in this case) is moderately strong with a positive correlation. The closer r is to 1, the stronger the positive correlation. The closer r is to -1, the stronger the negative correlation. If r is closer to 0, then there's no correlation.
