Answer:

Solution

For a complex number written in the form a + bi, a is called the real part of the complex number and b is called the imaginary part. The sum of two complex numbers, a + bi and c + di, is found by adding real parts and imaginary parts, respectively, that is, (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i. Therefore, the sum of 2 + 3i and 4 + 8i is (2 + 4) + (3 + 8)i = 6 + 11i.

Choice A is incorrect and is the result of disregarding i and adding all parts of the two complex numbers together, 2 + 3 + 4 + 8 = 17. Choice B is incorrect and is the result of adding all parts of the two complex numbers together and multiplying the sum by i. Choice D is incorrect and is the result of multiplying the real parts and imaginary parts of the two complex numbers, (2)(4) = 8 and (3)(8) = 24, instead of adding those parts together.

Answer:

The probability is $2.7327 \times 10^{-9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of guessing correctly, P = 0.54

Probability of not guessing correctly, q = 1 – P

q = 1 – 0.54 = 0.46

Number of trials, n = 32

Now calculate the probability that Mr. Taylor will pick 32 correctly in first round of the game.

Below is the calculation using binomial distribution.

$Probability = \left ( _{k}^{n}\textrm{} \right )P^{k}(1-P)^{(n-k)} \\= \left ( _{32}^{32}\textrm{} \right )0.54^{32}(0.46)^{(32-32)} \\= 0.54^{32} \\= 2.7327 \times 10^{-9}$

Write (8a-^3) -2/3 in simplest form

Anna71 [15]

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Solution:

Given that,

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}$

We have to write in simplest form

Use the following law of exponent

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Using this, simplify the given expression

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^{ -3 \times \frac{-2}{3}}\\\\Simplifying\ we\ get\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\We\ know\ that\ 8 = 2^3\\\\Therefore\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^3^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^{-2} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Thus the given expression is simplified
