Answer:

4 + (or -) 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Alright, so we're going to move all of the variables and constants to one side. Then, using the quadratic formula, we'll find the answer.

1. Move 12x-5 to the left side of the equation by

  a. Subtracting 12x from both sides

  b. adding 5 to both sides.

1: x^2+4x+20-12x+5

2. Group the common terms

  x^2+4x-12x+20+5 --> x^2-8x+25

3. Look at the problem. We can't factor this.

Explanation for why this isn't factorable (you can skip this)

(1) 25 is positive, so its two factors will both be either positive or negative. We're looking for a negative 8, so let's go with negative.

(2) Factors of 25: 1 & 25, 5 &5

Seeing the problem? Ya, none of the factors of 25 sum to eight. So, instead, we're going to use the quadratic formula.

4.  So, the quadratic formula: \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

Our equation is x^2-8x+25=0

a is the constant in front of the x^2

b is the constant in front of the x

c is the term without any x values

so, a=1, b=-8, and c= 25

Into equation:

\frac{8+-\sqrt{64-4(1)(25)} }{2a}=\frac{8+-\sqrt{64-100} }{2}=\frac{8+-\sqrt{-36} }{2}

8/2 = 4

sqrt(-36) = 6i

6i/2 = 3i (remember, we still have the two in the denominator)

4 + (or -) 3i

Answer:

x=4+ 3\mathbf{i}

x=4- 3\mathbf{i}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve:

x^2+4x+20=12x-5

Move everything to the left side:

x^2+4x+20-12x+5=0

Simplify:

x^2-8x+25=0

Apply the solver formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where a=1, b=-8, c=25. Thus:

\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4(1)(25)}}{2*1}

\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64-100}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{-36}}{2}

The solutions are complex numbers:

\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm 6\mathbf{i}}{2}

Simplifying:

x=4\pm 3\mathbf{i}

Two solutions are found:

x=4+ 3\mathbf{i}

x=4- 3\mathbf{i}

Katen [24]

Answer:

The area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls is <u>219.8 inches²</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jenny uses a roller to paint a wall. The roller has a radius of 1.75 inches and a height of 10 inches.

Now, to find the area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls.

So, we find the lateral surface area of roller.

Radius (r) = 1.75 inches.

Height (h) = 10 inches.

So, to get the lateral surface area we put formula:

A_{L} =2\pi rh

A_L=2\times 3.14\times 1.75\times 10

A_L=109.9\ inches^2.

Thus, the lateral surface area of the roller = 109.9 inches².

Now, to get the area of wall that she will paint in two rolls we multiply 2 by the lateral surface area of the roller:

109.9\times 2\\\\=219.8\ inches^2.

Therefore, the area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls is 219.8 inches².

A pond has 150 fish and the population decreases by 8% each day. How many days before there are 30 fish
nlexa [21]

Answer:

19 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 150 --- initial

r = 8\% -- rate

Required

Days when the fish gets to 30

The function is exponential and as such it follows;

y = ab^x

Where x represents the number of days and y the number of fishes

Because the fishes decreases;

b = 1 - r

So, we have:

b = 1 - 8\%

Express as decimal

b = 1 - 0.08

b = 0.92

In y = ab^x

a =150

y = 30

b = 0.92

So, we have:

30 = 150 * 0.92^x

Divide both sides by 150

0.2 = 0.92^x

Take log of both sides

log(0.2) = log(0.92^x)

Apply law of logarithm

log(0.2) = x\ log(0.92)

Make x the subject

x = \frac{log(0.2)}{log(0.92)}

x = \frac{-0.6990}{-0.0362}

x = 19.309

x \approx 19

<em>Hence, it takes approximately 19 days</em>
