Answer:

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this you need 2 numbers whose product is + 40 and whose sum is -4. There are no such numbers so we could use the method of completing the square:

x^2 - 4x + 40 = 90

x^2 - 4x = -40

(x - 2)^2 - 4 = -40

(x - 2)^2 = -36 - So the roots are complex numbers:

x - 2 = +/-√36

x = 2 + 6i, x - 6i.

Find the area of the shaded region .

Greeley [361]

Calculate area of the white region inside circle.

Area of the two white triangles in top left and bottom right:

$2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}(6)(6) = 36 ft^2$

Area of the two white quarter circles in the bottom left and top right:

$2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\pi (6)^2 = 18\pi ft^2$

Total area of unshaded white region inside circle:

$(36 + 18\pi)ft^2$

Area of entire circle including the white and shaded regions

$\pi(6)^2 = 36\pi ft^2$

Area of shaded region is area of entire circle - area of unshaded white region

$36\pi - (36 + 18\pi) = (18\pi - 36) ft^2$

What is the simplified version of (1/a)^3? Please explain. I don't understand.

Valentin [98]

$( \frac{x}{y} )^m= \frac{x^m}{y^m}$
$( \frac{1}{a} )^3= \frac{1^3}{a^3} = \frac{1}{a^3}$
or even $a^{-3}$
