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}

Determine the formula for the nth term of the sequence:<br>-2,1,7,25,79,...​
rodikova [14]

A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

x_n = a n^4 + b n^3 + c n^2 + d n + e

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

\begin{cases}a+b+c+d+e = -2 \\ 16 a + 8 b + 4 c + 2 d + e = 1 \\ 81 a + 27 b + 9 c + 3 d + e = 7 \\ 256 a + 64 b + 16 c + 4 d + e = 25 \\ 625 a + 125 b + 25 c + 5 d + e = 79\end{cases}

Solving the system yields coefficients

a=\dfrac58, b=-\dfrac{19}4, c=\dfrac{115}8, d = -\dfrac{65}4, e=4

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

\displaystyle x_n = \boxed{\frac{5 n^4}{8}-\frac{19 n^3}{4}+\frac{115 n^2}{8}-\frac{65 n}{4}+4}

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

\{-2, 1, 7, 25, 79, 208, 466, 922, 1660, 2779, \ldots\}

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...

* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of \{x_n\} eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of \{x_n\} by \Delta^{k}\{x_n\}. Then

• 1st-order differences:

\Delta\{x_n\} = \{1-(-2), 7-1, 25-7, 79-25,\ldots\} = \{3,6,18,54,\ldots\}

• 2nd-order differences:

\Delta^2\{x_n\} = \{6-3,18-6,54-18,\ldots\} = \{3,12,36,\ldots\}

• 3rd-order differences:

\Delta^3\{x_n\} = \{12-3, 36-12,\ldots\} = \{9,24,\ldots\}

• 4th-order differences:

\Delta^4\{x_n\} = \{24-9,\ldots\} = \{15,\ldots\}

From here I made the assumption that \Delta^4\{x_n\} is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies \Delta^3\{x_n\} forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies \Delta^2\{x_n\} forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up \{x_n\} forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.

Anyone know how to do this?
suter [353]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because A isn' at all right and B, and C equal the same but D = 36 So the sides are 18 each side.
