Answer:

When we have a quadratic equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

There is something called the determinant, and this is:

D = b^2 - 4*a*c

If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.

In our case, we have

5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0

Then the determinant is:

D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c

And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:

D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c

    4*5*c = 100  

       20*c = 100

            c = 100/20 = 5

As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.

This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,

c > 5.

I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:

Can someone help me plz
wolverine [178]

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

Reference angle = ? = θ

Side length opposite to reference angle = 27

Hypotenuse length = 28

Apply SOH, which is:

sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

Substitute

sin(\theta) = \frac{27}{28}

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{27}{28})

\theta = 75 degrees (nearest degree)
