Answer:

A / (1 +√5) = A (1 - √5) / (1 - 5) = -A (1 - √5) / 4

Multiply numerator and denominator by (1 - √5)

Solve the equation using the method of completing the square 2x squared + 16 x - 8 0

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

-4 <u>+</u> 2*sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+16x-8=0

Factor out the 2: 2(x^2+8x)-8=0

Add (b/2)^2 = (8/2)^2 = 16

2(x^2+8x+16)-8 = 0 + 2*16

2(x+4)^2=40

(x+4)^2=20

x+4=<u>+</u>sqrt(20)

x=-4<u>+</u>sqrt(20) = -4 <u>+</u> 2*sqrt(5)

Use the distance formula to calculate the distance between the following two points:

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

d = 11 units if rounded to nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula:

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

Your ordered pairs (-1, 1) and (4, 11)

d=√((4-(-1))²+(11-1)²)

d=√((4+1))²+(10))²)

d=√((5)²+ 100)

d = √125

d = 11.18

d = 11 units if rounded to nearest whole number
