Answer:

x = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean

$16^{x}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$

note that 16 = 4² and 64 = 4³ , so

$(4^{2} )^{x}$ = $\frac{1}{4^{3} }$

$4^{2x}$ = $4^{-3}$

Since the bases on both sides are equal, both 4, then equate exponents

2x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - $\frac{3}{2}$ ( = - 1.5 )

I do not know how to count following formula x + 5 = 3

saw5 [17]

The x is going to be a negative number to get the 3. so start off minus 5 from plus 5 and minus five from the other side too. the positive 5 and the negative cancel out and then take it fromt here with three and the negative 5.

The roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 are 1+i 5 and 1−i 5 . Find possible values of a, b and c.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots are 1 + 5i and 1 - 5i, then you need the factors that result from those roots. They are (x - 1 + 5i) and (x - 1 - 5i). Now what you do with those is FOIL them out. Doing that gives you the following:

$x^2-x+5ix-x+1-5i-5ix+5i-25i^2$ (what a mess, huh?)

The good thing is that several of those terms cancel each other out. +5ix cancels out the -5ix; -5i cancels out the 5i; and the 2 -x terms combine to -2x. That leaves you with:

$x^2-2x-25i^2$

Obviously you're in the section in math that deals with complex (imaginary) numbers so you should know that i-squared is equal to -1. Making that replacement:

$x^2-2x+25$
