Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a-5=5-2

add 5 to both sides to cancel the negative five on the left side.

-1/4a-5+5=5-2+5

-1/4a=8

multiply the equation by -4 to get the a just by itself

-4(-1/4)a=8(-4)

a=-32

Hope that helps :)

The quadratic function g(x) = ax^2 + bx + c has the complex roots (-5+9i) and (-5-9i). (you may assume that a = -1) what is the

gavmur [86]

Answer:

b = -10, c = -106

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

<u>Quadratic function </u>

g(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

with the roots:

(-5+9i) and (-5-9i)

b and c if a = -1

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>As we know the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product of the roots is c/a. Substituting values and solving for b and c:</u>

(-5 + 9i) + (-5 - 9i) = -b/-1
-10 = b
b = -10

And

(-5 + 9i)(-5 - 9i) = c/-1
(-5)² - (9i)² = -c
25 - 81(-1) = -c
- c = 25 + 81
- c = 106
c = -106

g(x) = -x² -10x - 106
