If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be 
then 
will also be a solution.
Y=8,4,2,-2 linear and in that order
The ratio from 80 to 5 would be 16. so divide 144 by 16 and you get 9. Answer:9
Okay so you know a straight line is equal to 180 degrees, so you set them up in an algebraic equation. (5x+2)+48=180 subtract 48 first to get 5x+2=132 Subtract the 2 this time to get 130. Now you end up with 5x=130. Here you divide 130 by 5 to get X=26. If you just need to find the degree of that angle tho you can stop after the first subtraction because the math tells you (5x+2)=132 degrees.
It works out that: y = 1 or 5 and therefore x = 5 or 1
