Don't you have a calculator?

Do you mean (square root of 3) * -27? The answer is irrational but approximately -46.76
or
do you mean square root of (3*-27) ? This is a nonsense question because negative number can't have square roots.

Your question does not make sense.

The first one because when you times them together you get a real number.
(-10 + 3i) (-10-3i) = 100 + 9 = 109

Multiply both sides by 2*(x-2)*(x+6) this will get rid of all the fractions

You get 2(x+6) + 6(x-2) = x^2 +6x -2x -12

2x+12+6x-12 = x^2 + 4x - 12

8x = x^2 +4x - 12

4x = x^2 -12

0 = x^2 - 4x -12

0 = (x+2)*(x-6)

x=-2 or x=6

If you need me to explain some of these steps in more detail just ask.

root 2 is an irrational number. 2.2360679775 is still an approximation.

Sorry mom, this question doesn't really make sense.
Is e a variable or is it the irrational number e ( approx 2.718)
does your point indicate multiply or a power?
Maybe you could clarify this question.

4% is $46 so
1% is $46/4 = $11.50 so
5.5% is $11.50*5.5 = $63.25

ok, I got 41.

Your calc might be a bit different from mine. I am using an older CASIO.
I just enter 'shift' then 'sin' to get sine-1 and then I just entered the rest as shown.
Make double sure that your calculator is in degrees mode - it might be set to radians.
If it still won't work tell me what kind of calc you are using and I may be able to help more.

I did this more by trial and error than by 'real' maths.
ax^2+c>=0

x^2 is always greater or equal to 0
If a is positive then ax^2 is 0 or positive
If c is zero or positive then the answer has to be greater or equal to 0.
If there is only one correct answer then it has to be

a>0 and c>=0
