If i = −1 and a and b are non-zero real numbers, what is 1a+bi ?

1 answer:

6 0

The i you normally think of (the one = to sqrt(-1) is not the same i they are using here. They are using this i the same way you would use x = - 1 in any normal equation or relation.

1a + b(-1)
a - b is your answer <<<< answer

Carson has two cans of red paint. The first can contains 3 pints of red paint. The second can contains 4 16 pints of red paint.

Answer: 1⁵/₈ pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First can contained 3¹/₄ pints and second can contained 6¹/₂.

To make them equal, first find the different;

= 6¹/₂ - 3¹/₄

= 6.5 - 3.25

= 3.25

Divide this difference by 2;

= 3.25/2

= 1.625

= 1⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀

= 1⁵/₈ pints

If Carson pours 1⁵/₈ pints from the second Can, it would increase the first can to 4⁷/₈ pints whilst reducing the second can to 4⁷/₈ pints as well.

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 110 inches. Find the length and the width.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Length = 43 inches
Width = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.

Assume the width is x. Length is:

4x - 5

Equation is therefore:

2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110

4x - 5 + x = 110/2

5x - 5 = 55

5x = 55 + 5

x = 60/5

x = 12 inches

If width is 12 inches, then length is:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 12 -5

= 43 inches

Find the midpoint of the line segment defined by the points: (5, 4) and (−2, 1) (2.5, 1.5) (3.5, 2.5) (1.5, 2.5) (3.5, 1.5)

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (1.5 , 2.5)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the point that bisects a line segment or divides it into 2 equal halves. The formula is essentially finding the average of the 2 points.

$(\frac {x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac {y_1+ y_2}{2})$
