Answer:
The roots are;
x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5
where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;
f(x) = -5x^2 + 4x -1
Set the function to zero
0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1
So;
-5x^2 + 4x = 1
divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5
x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5
We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it
= -2/5^2 = 4/25
add it to both sides
x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25
(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25
(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25
Take the square root of both sides
x - 2/5 = √( -1/25
x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5
x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5
I don't understand ur hand writing sorry
Answer:
317.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
the length of the diagonal can be determined using Pythagoras theorem
The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²
where a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse
280² + 150²
= 78,400 + 22,500
= 100,900
take the square root of 100,900
= 317.648 feet
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
317.6 to the nearest tenth
