Answer:

n = (1/2)(-1 ± i√2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the several ways in which quadratic equations can be solved is the quadratic formula. Putting to use the coefficients {12, 12, 9}, we obtain the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac: 12^2 - 4(12)(9) = 144 - 432 = -288. The negative sign of this discriminant tells us that the quadratic has two unequal, complex roots. These roots are:

-b ± √(discriminant)

n = ---------------------------------

Here we have:

-12 ± √(-288) -12 ± i√2√144 -12 ± i12√2

n = ---------------------- = ------------------------ = --------------------

2(12) 24 24

or:

n = (1/2)(-1 ± i√2)

Who's most brainiest to answer these 2 questions? Will mark ya'll brainiest. Pls show all work!

Answer:

A = picture attached

B = 51 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture attached is the answer for part A. You use the dimensions you already know from the first picture to fill in the net of the slice of pie.

Area of the triangle = 1/2 (base × height)

A = 1/2 (4 × 6) = 1/2 (24) = 12

The area of the triangle is 12. The top is a triangle, but the bottom is also a triangle with the same area. Therefore, the area of the two triangles combined is 24 in². Next, we have to find the area of the rectangle at the sides of the pie.

Area of rectangle = length × width

A = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5

Since there are two rectangles with the same area on both sides of the pie, we can double it and get 25 in². We still have one rectangle left, the one at the back of the pie.

A = 6 × 2.5 = 15

Add the areas altogether to get the answer.

24 + 12.5 + 15 = 51.5 in²

I hope this helps. Sorry if Part B's answer is wrong.
