The vertices of a quadrilateral are listed below.

A box of pencils is 5 1/4 inches wide. Seven pencils, laid side by side, take up 2 5/8 inches of the width. How many inches of t

Andre45 [30]

Answer: Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Width of pencil box = $5\dfrac14\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{4}\text{ inches}$

Width of seven pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}=\dfrac{16+5}{8}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = Width of pencil box - Width of seven pencils

$\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right. \dfrac{21}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21\times2-21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}=2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil = (Width of seven pencils ) ÷ 7

$=\dfrac{21}{8}\div7\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\times\dfrac17\\\\=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Which equation has the solutions x = -3 ± √3i/2 ?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:Answer is option C : [ $x^{2}$ + 3x + 3 ] =0

Note: None of options matches with given question.

instead of "-3" , there should be "- $\frac{3}{2}$ ".

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: None of options matches with given question.

instead of "-3" , there should be " $\frac{3}{2}$ ".

Here, First thing you have to observe the nature of roots.

∴ x = - $\frac{3}{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i and x = - $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

∴ [ x+( $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ][ x+( $\frac{3}{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ]=0

∴ [ $x^{2}$ + x( $\frac{3}{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i)+ x( $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) + ( $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i)( $\frac{3}{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ]=0

∴ [ $x^{2}$ + $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ix + $\frac{3}{2}$ x - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ix + (3- $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i)(3+ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ] =0

∴ [ $x^{2}$ + 3x + ( $\frac{3}{2}$ - $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i)( $\frac{3}{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ] =0

∴ [ $x^{2}$ + 3x + $\frac{9}{4}$ - ( $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i)( $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ i) ] =0
