Question 170747: I need some help with this problem.
i asked my friend to help me with a previous problem and he ended up just giving me the answer cause i still don't get it.
The one already answered ==
"":How i tried to work it out.
[]:my answer
1.  2x^2-10x+12=0
"2(x+6)(x-1)"
[x=6,(-1)]
Was that correct?
2.  x^2+2x=-11
?????
Please help me.

Question 168321: Any help with the folllowing assignment question would be most appreciated. I am doing an electrical degree course which is moving too fast over the quantitative analysis section and I am struggling to take basics for each topic.
two coils connected in parrallel
r1= 12 ohm L1= 24mH
r2= 6 ohm L2=30mH
given that f = 50Hz calculate the values of impedance for each coil Z1 and Z2 and the total impednace for two impedances in parrallel in both polar form and rectilinear form.
thanks

Question 168106: i am struggling with solving complex equations for x and y:
such as 3(x+jy)=9-j27

this if for an electrical degree course, quantitative analysis assignment.
Hopeing someone can explain so i can solve the rest of the problems as course is very fast meaning things are being brushed over very fast and it is an awful long time since i done anything of this level.

Question 167782: This is another question from a past Algebra & Complex Numbers paper which I am practicing for study for my Calculus exam. The question is apparently worth an excellence mark:
QUESTION EIGHT
Find the equation of the locus of the point representing z if |z-3i|-|z+3i|=2.
I can work it out as far as:
|z-3i|-|z+3i|=2
(z=x+iy) => |x+i(y-3)|-|x+i(y+3)|=2
(|z|= sqrt( x^2+y^2 ) ) =>  sqrt( x^2+(y-3)^2 ) - sqrt( x^2+(y+3)^2 ) =2
 sqrt( x^2+y^2-6y+9 ) - sqrt( x^2+y^2+6y+9 ) =2
but after that I get stuck.
Help appreciated.

Question 165756: An NFL kicker attempts a 41-yard field goal. The path of the football toward the uprights can be represented by the graph of the quadratic function f(x)= -.0625x²+2.7x, where x is the horizontal distance the football travels in yards and f(x) is the vertical distance the football travels. The bottom of the upright is 3.5 yards above the ground.
Assuming the kick is in between the uprights, did the kicker make the field goal? Why or Why not?

Question 165401: Below are the equations that I need assistance with...
1. 2x+y-3z=-4
2. 4x-2y+z=9
3. 3x+5y-3z=5
Below are the instructions to solving the problems. I am supposed to solve for x, y, and z. The answer should be the same for x, y, and z in all three equations. For instance, if x is 2, y is 5, and z is 3 in problem #1, the answer should be the same for the last two problems. My professor explained this to me, but when I tried to solve it, I did not receive the correct answer. Please help me. I would really appreciate it. I need this answer for my class as soon as possible...
1.Choose two of the three equations so that one of the variables is eliminated (use addition method).
2.Repeat step one with two different equations to eliminate the same variable.
3.Use the equation resulting from steps 1 & 2 to solve for one of the variables.
4.Substitute the variable in step 3 into equation to solve for a second variable.
5.Substitute the values from steps 3&4 into equations 1, 2, or 3 to solve for the final variable.
