Answer:

<h2>x = -2+i√5 and  -2i-√5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation is ax²+bx+c = 0

Given the quadratic equation x²+4x+9=0 in its standard form, on comparing with the general equation we can get the value of the constant a, b and c as shown;

ax² = x²

a = 1

bx = 4x

b = 4

c = 9

The quadratic formula is given as x = -b±√(b²-4ac)/2a

Substituting the constant;

x = -4±√(4²-4(1)(9))/2(1)

x = -4 ±√(16-36)/2

x = -4±√-20/2

x = -4±(√-1*√20)/2

Note that √-1 = i

x = -4±(i√4*5)/2

x = (-4±i2√5)/2

x = -4/2±i2√5/2

x = -2±i√5

The solution to the quadratic equation are  -2+i√5 and  -2i-√5

You practice your basketball shots every day. On Friday you made 20 shots. On Saturday you made 16 shots. What is the percent de
STatiana [176]
So,

All you have to do to find the percent decrease is to subtract your score on Saturday from your score on Friday and divide the result by your score on Friday.  If you let "f" represent your score on Friday and let "s" represent your score on Saturday, you can re-write this mathematically:

\frac{f - s}{f} = percent\ decrease

Substitute.
\frac{20 - 16}{20} = percent\ decrease
\frac{4}{20} \ or\  \frac{1}{5}\ or\ twenty\ percent = percent\ decrease

The percent decrease in shots you made was 20%.  That would be option C.
