Find the roots of the equation x^2+2x+5=0

Mathematics

Answer:

x = - 1 ± 2i

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the discriminant b² - 4ac to determine the nature of the roots

• If b² - 4ac > , roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0, roots are real and equal

• If b² - ac < 0, roots are not real

for x² + 2x + 5 = 0

with a = 1, b = 2 and c = 5, then

b² - 4ac = 2² - (4 × 1 × 5 ) = 4 - 20 = - 16

since b² - 4ac < 0 there are 2 complex roots

using the quadratic formula to calculate the roots

x = ( - 2 ± \sqrt{-16} ) / 2

  = (- 2 ± 4i ) / 2 = - 1 ± 2i

Answer:

Yes;Each side of triangle PQR is the same length as the corresponding side of triangle STU

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe  the sides of both triangles to see if this property holds

Lets check the length of AB

A(0,3)   and B(0,-1)

AB=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-1-3)^2} \\\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{0^2+-4^2} \\\\\\AB=\sqrt{16} =4units

Now check the length of the corresponding side DE

D(1,2)  and E(1,-2)

DE=\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(-2-2)^2} \\\\\\DE=\sqrt{0^2+-4^2} \\\\\\DE=\sqrt{16} =4units

The side AB has the same length as side DE.This is also true for the remaining corresponding sides.

How do you multiply decimals?
Ulleksa [173]
I found this online, hope it helps


Just follow these steps:
Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is −5.1. Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number
musickatia [10]

The unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20

Let the unknown number be "x"

The sum of the number and 1.75 is expressed as x + 1.75

Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is 1/2(x+1.75)

Equating the result to -5.1 wil give:

1/2(x+1.75) = -5.1

Solve the resulting equation

x + 1.75 = 2(-5.1)

x + 1.75  = -10.2

x = -10.2 - 1.75

x = 11.95

x = 1195/100

x = 11 95/100

Hence the unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20
