4 0

Answer:

The first one and the last one are true (Since −6 is 6 units to the left of 0, |−6|=6 and −6 is closer to zero on the number line than −7, so |−6|<|−7|.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the distance to zero, and it is always positive. That means the positive and negative versions of a number have the same absolute value. That means the first one is true, and the second and third ones are false. For the last one, -6 is closer to zero, so that means it would be true (The absolute value of -6 is 6, and the absolute value of -7 is 7).

Solve the equation: k^2+5k+13=0

Step-by-step explanation:

k² + 5k + 13 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\$

From the question

a = 1 , b = 5 , c = 13

So we have

$k = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(13) } }{2(1)} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 52} }{2} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ - 27} }{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm3 \sqrt{3} \: i}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \:$
