Answer:
(a) There are two complex roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant of a quadratic function describes the nature of its roots:
- <u>negative</u>: two complex roots
- <u>zero</u>: one real root (multiplicity 2)
- <u>positive</u>: two distinct real roots.
__
Your discriminant of -8 is <em>negative</em>, so it indicates ...
There are two complex roots
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We generally study polynomials with <em>real coefficients</em>. These will never have an odd number of complex roots. Their complex roots always come in conjugate pairs.
X = 8.5 because 8.5 x 2 = 17 and 17 + 1 = 18
[11]
Equation: 180° - 75°
Measure: 105°
A straight line has an angle measurement of 180°. Since we have GFB, 75°, we can find EFB this way.
[12]
Equation: 90° - 40°
Measure: 50°
The little box in the angle shows that it is equal to 90°. Since they give us HGB, 40°, we can solve for EFB using this information.
If you use the common denominator of .5 for both sides of the ratio, you will arrive at 3:5 as a simplified form.
