Answer:

x = 1/5 (25 + 3 i sqrt(5)) or x = (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25)/5

Step-by-step explanation using the quadratic formula:

Solve for x:

5 (x - 5)^2 + 9 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

5 x^2 - 50 x + 134 = 0

x = (50 ± sqrt((-50)^2 - 4×5×134))/(2×5) = (50 ± sqrt(2500 - 2680))/10 = (50 ± sqrt(-180))/10:

x = (50 + sqrt(-180))/10 or x = (50 - sqrt(-180))/10

sqrt(-180) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(180) = i sqrt(180):

x = (50 + i sqrt(180))/10 or x = (50 - i sqrt(180))/10

sqrt(180) = sqrt(4×9×5) = sqrt(2^2×3^2×5) = 2×3sqrt(5) = 6 sqrt(5):

x = (i×6 sqrt(5) + 50)/10 or x = (-i×6 sqrt(5) + 50)/10

Factor 2 from 50 + 6 i sqrt(5) giving 2 (3 i sqrt(5) + 25):

x = 1/102 (3 i sqrt(5) + 25) or x = (-6 i sqrt(5) + 50)/10

(2 (3 i sqrt(5) + 25))/10 = (2 (3 i sqrt(5) + 25))/(2×5) = (3 i sqrt(5) + 25)/5:

x = (3 i sqrt(5) + 25)/5 or x = (-6 i sqrt(5) + 50)/10

Factor 2 from 50 - 6 i sqrt(5) giving 2 (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25):

x = 1/5 (25 + 3 i sqrt(5)) or x = 1/102 (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25)

(2 (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25))/10 = (2 (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25))/(2×5) = (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25)/5:

Answer: x = 1/5 (25 + 3 i sqrt(5)) or x = (-3 i sqrt(5) + 25)/5

Answer:

$\frac{7\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve : $(x-5)^2 + 3(x -5) + 9 = 0$

On putting x-5 = u in the given equation, we get $u^2+3u+9=0$

We will sove this equation using quadratic formula:

For equation of form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , roots are given by $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

On comparing equation $u^2+3u+9=0$ with equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , we get $a=1\,,\,b=3\,,\,c=9$

So, roots are $u=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{9-36}}{2}=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{-27}}{2}=\frac{-3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}$

On putting u = x-5 in $u=\frac{-3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}$ , we get

$x-5=\frac{-3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}\Rightarrow x=5+\left (\frac{-3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2} \right )=\frac{10-3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}=\frac{7\pm 3\sqrt{3}i}{2}$

Daniel is printing out copies of a presentation. It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-whit

Effectus [21]

Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables.

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.

3c + b


ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6


iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒

3c + b ≤ 12


4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.

Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's. Their two scores total 156. What is each girls score?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Carmen's score is 75 strokes.

Linda's score is 81 strokes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score of Linda be "x".

It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.

Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).

The total score of the girls is

= $x + (x-6) = 2x-6$

The total score is given to be 156.

Thus, the equation becomes,

$2x-6 = 156$

$2x= 162$

$x = 81$

Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.

Evaluate the surface integral S F · dS for the given vector field F and the oriented surface S. In other words, find the flux of

7nadin3 [17]

The equation of the cone should be $z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ . Parameterize $S$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\vec\imath+u\sin v\,\vec\jmath+u\,\vec k$

with $1\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ . Take the normal vector to $S$ to be

$\vec s_v\times\vec s_u=u\cos v\,\vec\imath+u\sin v\,\vec\jmath-u\,\vec k$

Then the integral of $\vec F$ across $S$ is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_1^2(-u\cos v\,\vec\imath-u\sin v\,\vec\jmath+u^3\,\vec k)\cdot(u\cos v\,\vec\imath+u\sin v\,\vec\jmath-u\,\vec k)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
