Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 goes into 26 6 times, and then there's 2 remainder, so it's the same thing as i², which is -1

hope this is helpful :)

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

so "i" is the square root of -1 (√-1). We know that i² = (√-1)², and that when we square a square root we end back up with whatever is inside of the square root.

This is why i² = -1

We can find a pattern from writing out a few exponents:

i¹ = i

i² = -1

i³ = -i  [(-1)(i)]

i⁴ = 1  [-1 · -1]

------

i⁵ = i  [(1)(i)]

i⁶ = -1 [(i)(i)]

i⁷ = -i [(-1)(i)]

i⁸ = 1 [(-i)(i)= -(i²)= -(-1) = 1]

------

i⁹ = i [1 · i]

we can see that the pattern of i repeats every 4 numbers, so by dividing 26 by 4 (and finding the remainder), we can figure out which step of the pattern we are on

26 / 4 = 6 [remainder of 2]

we know that there is a remainder of 2, meaning that we are on the "second step" in the pattern: -1

you can do the same thing for any number

hope this helps!!

How many solutions does the equation have? 5(w−1)−2=5w+7<br><br>A.0 B.1 C.infinitely many
bogdanovich [222]
5(w - 1) - 2 = 5w + 7
5w - 5 - 2 = 5w + 7
5w - 7 = 5w + 7
5w - 5w = 7 + 7
0 = 14 (incorrect)

2/9 is less than 2/5 because since the denominator is larger, the pieces are smaller. (Numerator)

What is the equation for the kind of reflection?
andre [41]

Answer:

A vertical reflection is given by the equation y=−f(x) y = − f ( x ) and results in the curve being “reflected” across the x-axis. A horizontal reflection is given by the equation y=f(−x) y = f ( − x ) and results in the curve being “reflected” across the y-axis.

1/2(2g-3)=-4(g+1) show work
brilliants [131]
1g-1.5=-4g-4 (distribute 1/2 and -4 inside their respective parenthesis)
1g=-4g-2.5 (add 1.5 to -4)
5g=-2.5 (add 4g to 1g)
g=-0.5 (divide both sides by 5)
