Using the quadratic formula, what is the value of x for x^2-4+5=0

PSYCHO15rus [73]

value of x is: x= i and x= -i

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x from $x^2-4+5=0$ using quadratic formula.

The term is: $x^2+1=0$

The quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

Where a = 1, b=0,c=1

Putting values:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\frac{0\pm\sqrt{(0)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{\pm\sqrt{-4}}{2}\\x=\frac{\pm2i}{2}\\x=\pm i$

So, value of x is: x= i and x= -i

Write an algebraic expression for 15 decreased by twice a number

vichka [17]

An algebraic expression is, obviously, an expression with a variable.

"A number" would represent a variable, which, in this case, we'll use y.

So, 15 decreased by twice x.
15 - y x 2 =

I hope this helped :)

Can anyone help me find the (?,?) coordinates? The given shape is a parallelogram.

Sonja [21]

The missing coordinates of the parallelogram is (m + h, n).

Solution:

Given shape is a parallelogram.

Construction: Draw a line joining the diagonals.

<em>In parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.</em>

Solve it using mid-point formula:

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right )$

Here $x_1=m, y_1=n, x_2=h, y_2=0$

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n+0}{2}\right )$

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )$

Using this midpoint find the missing coordinate.

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right )$

Let the missing coordinates by x and y.

Here $x_1=0, y_1=0, x_2=x, y_2=y$

$$\text{Midpoint}=\left( \frac{0+x}{2}, \frac{0+y}{2}\right )$

$$\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )=\left( \frac{0+x}{2}, \frac{0+y}{2}\right )$

$$\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )=\left( \frac{x}{2}, \frac{y}{2}\right )$

Now equate the x-coordinates and y-coordinates.

$$ \frac{m+h}{2}=\frac{x}{2}, \ \ \ \frac{n}{2} = \frac{y}{2}$

Multiply by 2 on both sides of the equation, we get

m + h = x, n = y

x = m + h and y = n

Hence the missing coordinates of the parallelogram is (m + h, n).
