Answer:
2√(3) or -2√(3) or 2i or -2i
Step-by-step explanation:
All the steps are in the photo I attached
(I forgot about negative side, sorry)
(base times height) multiplyed by 2, Then multiply it by 4. Next you find the area of the base, then when you figured it out, add it to what you did in the beggining
This is the concept of quadratic equations, solving the equation 2x^2-12x+20=0 using the formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
from our equation, a=2,b=-12 and c=20
x=[-(-12+/-sqrt((-12)^2-4*2*20)]/(2*2)
x=[12+/-sqrt(144-160]/4
x=[12+/-sqrt(-16)]/4
x=[12+/-4i]/4
x=[3+\-i]
the answer is A] 3+/-i
The original expression evaluates to 54.4 as shown in the first working.
_____
For some reason, 3.4 got transcribed to be 1.7 in the 3rd line of the second working. There is no math operation in the expression that requires 3.4 to be divided by 2.
It's a deal.
Tell us the ratio, and we'll get right to work on it.
