Why is it a problem to find the square root of a negative number, for example √-4?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is not possible because no number times itself can equal a negative number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Taking the square root of a negative number is a problem because this technically does not follow the rules of a square root. A square root is made of a number times itself, and therefore, is impossible to have a negative times a positive to make a negative total (An example would be √4, as the answer can be 2 (because 2 x 2 = 4) or -2 (because -2 x -2 = 4)).

This means that in order to solve √-4, you must use imaginary numbers. This is represented by "i."

For the example of √-4, your answer would be 2i. These imaginary numbers are used whenever you are square rooting a negative number in order to show that it is breaking the real rules of roots.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, A is a right angle and M B=45°. Find BC. If you answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

- In a right triangle, if ∠B is 45°, then ∠C is too.

-- Since ∠B  and  ∠C  are equal, the sides opposite them

are equal too.  This is an isosceles right triangle.  Its legs

are equal.

-- (The hypotenuse)²  =  (one leg)²  +  (the other leg)²

                                  =       (12-ft)²  +  (12-ft)²

                                  =              (144 x 2)

     The hypotenuse  =  √(144 x 2)  =  12√2 .

Given that lines q and m are parallel and are cut by two
different transversal lines, j and k, use angle relationships
to determine the measure of each numbered angle:

Answers

angle 1 = 180-110 = 70 degrees (linnear pair)

angle 2= 180-115 = 65 degrees (linnear pair)

angle 3 = angle 2 = 65 degrees (corresponding angles)

angle 4= 180 - angle 3 = 180-65 = 115 degrees (linnear pair)

(your teacher might not like this, depends on the cituation, but use 180 degrees in triangle to get 7)

angle 7 = 180 -angle1 -angle 2= 180-70-65= 45 degrees

angle 6 = angle 7 = 45 degrees ( vertical angles)

angle 8= 180- angle 7= 180-45 = 135 ( linnear pair)

angle 9 =angle 6 = 45 degrees (corresponding angles)

angle 5=angle 9=45 degrees (vertical angles)

2k+16=30 i need help with this before March 2nd ASAP

Answers

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to solve for the variable k in this problem.

To do this, we need to get k by itself!

2k + 16 = 30

Start by subtracting the 16 over from the left side to the right

2k + 16 - 16 = 30 - 16

Simplify by subtracting 16 from 16 on the left side (which is 0) and 16 from 30 on the right side (which is 14).

2k = 14

Then finish by dividing both sides by 2 to get k by itself.

[tex]\frac{2k}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14}{2}[/tex]

Simplify by dividing 2 by 2 on the left side (which is 1) and 14 by 2 on the right side (which is 7).

k = 7

The required measurement closest to the area of the circle in square centimeters is 78.5cm². Option B is correct.

What is an area circle?

The area of the circle is given by the pie times square of the radius.

Area of circle = πr^2

Here,
Let the radius of the given circle be r = 5 cm
Area of the circle = πr²

Substitute the value in the above expression,
Area of the circle = π 5²
Area of the circle = 78.5cm²

Thus, the required measurement closest to the area of the circle in square centimeters is 78.5cm². Option B is correct.
