Short AnswerThere are two numbers
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682i <<<<
answer 1x2 = - 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.

a = 1
b = 0.5
c = 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
NoticeThe 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
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in (-2, -6) to see if it's the solution or not
3(-2) + 18(-6) ? -14
-6 + ( -108) ? -14
-114 ≠ -14
Answer is NO
Answer:
303.63 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the area of the two rectangles he cuts and add them together.
The area of a rectangle is given as:
A = L * B
The first rectangle is 16 inches × 12 1/4 inches. Its area is:
A = 16 * 12 1/4 = 16 * 49/4 = 196 sq inches
The second rectangle is 10 1/2 inches by 10 1/4 inches. Its area is:
A = 10 1/2 * 10 1/4 = 21/2 * 41/4 = 107.63 sq inches
The total square inches of construction paper that he needs is:
196 + 107.63 = 303.63 sq inches
Answer:
D 10
Step-by-step explanation:
10 x 10 = 100
100/10 = 10
10 is a perfect square
