How are we supposed to answer that question. When we can't see the segments?
Strictly speaking, x^2 + 2x + 4 doesn't have solutions; if you want solutions, you must equate <span>x^2 + 2x + 4 to zero:
</span>x^2 + 2x + 4= 0. "Completing the square" seems to be the easiest way to go here:
rewrite x^2 + 2x + 4 as x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 = -4, or
(x+1)^2 = -3
or x+1 =i*(plus or minus sqrt(3))
or x = -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(3)
This problem, like any other quadratic equation, has two roots. Note that the fourth possible answer constitutes one part of the two part solution found above.
The question to that answer is 10
2600 - 750 = 1850 , 1850 / 2 = 925 , 925 + 750 = 1675 . star = $1675 and jupiter = $925 . so 2600 - c = star price ($1675)
