Answer:
-5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I find simplest form to be easier to get to if the leading coefficient is 1. Dividing by 16, we have ...
x^2 +5/2x +27/16 = 0
Completing the square by adding and subtracting the square of half the x-coefficient, we get ...
(x^2 +5/2x +25/16) +27/16 -25/16 = 0
(x +5/4)^2 = 2/16
Subtracting 2/16, taking the square root, and subtracting 5/4 gives ...
x +5/4 = ±√(-2/16)
x = -5/4 ±i(√2)/4
The roots are -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
We must ask a question that your answer corresponds to each of the topics in the statement, therefore we will review each one:
5. Distances members of the track team jogged last week
How far did you run last week?
6. Numbers of letters in name of street you live on
How many letters are there in the name of your street?
7. Cost of a restaurant dinner
How much did you pay for dinner?
8. Numbers of cars of different colors in a parking lot
What color is your car?
1 ft = 12 inches
therefore, 15 inches is more then 1 ft
