How many, and what type of solutions, does3x2−x−5=0 have?

siniylev [52]2 years ago

Answer:

2 irrational solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

using the quadratic formula:

\frac{ -b \:± \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4ac }   }{2a}

3x²−x−5=0

where a = 3, b = -1 and c = -5, plug in those values in the quadratic formula

\frac{ - ( - 1)±\sqrt{(1) {}^{2} - 4(3)( - 5) } }{2(3)}

you get two solutions:

\frac{1 +  \sqrt{61} }{6} \:  and \:  \frac{1 -  \sqrt{61} }{6}

both can be written as:

\frac{1± \sqrt{61} }{6}

They are irrational as they cannot be written in the form p/q where p and q are whole numbers (integers)

I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu
ra1l [238]

The imaginary unit i belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by \mathbb C. These numbers take the form a+bi, where a,b are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, \mathbb R, is a subset of \mathbb C, where each number in \mathbb R can be obtained by taking b=0 and letting a be any real number.

But any number in \mathbb C with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes i.

  • "is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because 2=2+0i.

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising i to the i-th power. Since i=e^{i\pi/2}, we have

i^i=\left(e^{i\pi/2}\right)^i=e^{i^2\pi/2}=e^{-\pi/2}\approx0.2079

This is a two step word problem so first your gonna have to subtract 320-50= 270 then divide to find your final answer so 270 divided by 8 is 33.75

A rope is tied around two trees. The lower end of the rope is 6
GrogVix [38]

Slope is the difference in height/difference in distance.

starting from the higher point to the lower point.

So the equation will be

(12-6)/6=6/6=1

The slope of the rope is 1 according to the given information

Hope it helped! :D
