Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle = 25 cm

One side is twice as long as the other.

Let the other side is x.

First side = 2x

Using Pythagoras theorem to find the lengths of the shorter sides.

$x^2+(2x)^2=25^2\\\\x^2+4x^2=625\\\\5x^2=625\\\\x^2=125\\\\x=11.18\ cm$

So, the other side = 11.18 cm

First side = 2(11.18) = 22.36 cm

So, the lengths of the shorter sides are 11.18 cm and 22.36 cm.

Presley is organizing the school book sale. Each stall will have 40 books on the shelf and 2 boxes of books with b books inside.

xxMikexx [17]

Okay, I think your saying he has 200 total right, if so then you will say 200-20 over 2, so 180 divided by two = 80 in each box; now- 40s +(2b)s +200 b=12 and s=8 so; 40x8+(2x12)8 + 200
320 +192 +200
712

Presley needs to have 712 books ready.

An angle measures 18.6° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

X = 35.7 Y=54.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 angles be called X and Y were X is the smaller angle

we know that both angles are complementary therefore
X+Y=90

X = Y - 18.6 ( Given )

Y - 18.6 + Y = 90 ( substitution)

2Y = 90 + 18.6

Y = 108.6/2

Y=54.3

X= Y-18.6= 54.3-18.6 = 35.7

Check : X + Y = 35.7+54.3=90

Z^4-5(1+2i)z^2+24-10i=0

mixer [17]

Using the quadratic formula, we solve for $z^2$ .

$z^4 - 5(1+2i) z^2 + 24 - 10i = 0 \implies z^2 = \dfrac{5+10i \pm \sqrt{-171+140i}}2$

Taking square roots on both sides, we end up with

$z = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5+10i \pm \sqrt{-171+140i}}2}$

Compute the square roots of -171 + 140i.

$|-171+140i| = \sqrt{(-171)^2 + 140^2} = 221$

$\arg(-171+140i) = \pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right)$

By de Moivre's theorem,

$\sqrt{-171 + 140i} = \sqrt{221} \exp\left(i \left(\dfrac\pi2 - \dfrac12 \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right)\right)\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \sqrt{221} i \left(\dfrac{14}{\sqrt{221}} + \dfrac5{\sqrt{221}}i\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= 5+14i$

and the other root is its negative, -5 - 14i. We use the fact that (140, 171, 221) is a Pythagorean triple to quickly find

$t = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{140}{171}\right) \implies \cos(t) = \dfrac{171}{221}$

as well as the fact that

$0$

$\sin\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos(t)}2} = \dfrac5{\sqrt{221}}$

(whose signs are positive because of the domain of $\frac t2$ ).

This leaves us with

$z = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5+10i \pm (5 + 14i)}2} \implies z = \pm \sqrt{5 + 12i} \text{ or } z = \pm \sqrt{-2i}$

Compute the square roots of 5 + 12i.

$|5 + 12i| = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13$

$\arg(5+12i) = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right)$

By de Moivre,

$\sqrt{5 + 12i} = \sqrt{13} \exp\left(i \dfrac12 \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right)\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~= \sqrt{13} \left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{13}} + \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}}i\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~= 3+2i$

and its negative, -3 - 2i. We use similar reasoning as before:

$t = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12}5\right) \implies \cos(t) = \dfrac5{13}$

$1 < \tan(t) < \infty \implies \dfrac\pi4 < t < \dfrac\pi2 \implies \dfrac\pi8 < \dfrac t2 < \dfrac\pi4$

$\cos\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \dfrac3{\sqrt{13}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac t2\right) = \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}}$

Lastly, compute the roots of -2i.

$|-2i| = 2$

$\arg(-2i) = -\dfrac\pi2$

$\implies \sqrt{-2i} = \sqrt2 \, \exp\left(-i\dfrac\pi4\right) = \sqrt2 \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt2} - \dfrac1{\sqrt2}i\right) = 1 - i$

as well as -1 + i.

So our simplified solutions to the quartic are

$\boxed{z = 3+2i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = -3-2i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = 1-i} \text{ or } \boxed{z = -1+i}$
