Answer:

x = 7

If a is parallel to b, then 9(7) + 11 = 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know if the lines are parallel, so we need to see what x is in 9x + 11 = 74, then substitute that value for x in the equation. If both sides are true, the two lines are parallel.

9x + 11 = 74

<em>Step 1: Subtract 11 from both sides.</em>

9x = 63

<em>Step 2: Divide both sides by 9.</em>

x = 7

<em>To make sure, let's substitute 7 for x in the earlier equation.</em>

9(7) + 11 = 74

<em>Step 3: Multiply 9 by 7 to get 63.</em>

63 + 11 = 74

<em>Step 4: Add 11 to 63 to get 74.</em>

74 = 74

The two sides are equal, so a and b are parallel. The definition of a converse is the reverse of a conditional statement. As a result, the converse here is "If a is parallel to b, then 9(7) + 11 = 74."

(a) Use the fundamental theorem of algebra to determine the number of roots for 2x^2 + 4x + 7
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.

The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots.  From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.

Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40.  Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.

Using the quadratic formula:

       -4 ±√[-40]         -4 ± 2i√10

x  = ------------------ = ------------------

                4                       4

                                       -2 ± i√10

Thus, the roots are x = ------------------

                                               2
