Solve: (2x - 3)^2 = -4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago

Answer:

No real solutions;

x=i+1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest method to solve an algebraic equation is to use inverse operations. This applies to the given equation;

(2x-3)^2=-4\\

- Take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{}                

==================================================================

As one can see, the right side is a negative number. However, one cannot take the square root of a negative number and get a real result. Therefore, one must use imaginary numbers. Remember, the imaginary unit (i) represents (\sqrt{-1}).

==================================================================

2x-3=2i

- Add (3) to undo the (-3)

+3          

2x=2i+3

- Divide by (2) to remove the coefficient of (2x)

÷2           ÷

x=\frac{2i+3}{2}

Simplify,

x=i+1.5

What is the answer for B and how did you get it ?
Orlov [11]
The length of side b is 52 because using the Pythagorean theorem we know that a² + b² = c². When we plug in the known values we would get 1521 + b² = 4225, and when we subtract 1521 from both sides we would get b = 52.
