Give an example of a quadratic with complex roots. Explain how you know it has complex roots.

1 answer:

5 0

2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.

The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23

-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign, If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.

(3) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that ∆ADE is similar to ∆ABC. As such, the ratios of their legs are equal. Also note that AD = AB + BD.

BC/AB = DE/AD

BC/10 = 12/(10 + 5) = 12/15 = 4/5

BC = 10(4/5) = 8

What is the slant height of a square pyramid with the height of 10cm and base edge 20cm

Klio2033 [76]

Hello!

To find the base length you use the Pythagorean Theorem

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

c is the slant height
a is half the base length
b is the height

Put in the values you know

$10^{2} + 10^{2} = c^{2}$

Square the numbers

$100 + 100 = c^{2}$

Add

$200 = c^{2}$

Take the square root of both sides

$c = \sqrt{200}$

Simplify

$c = 10 \sqrt{2}$

Hope this helps!
