Answer:

b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are equally distant to zero but in opposite directions, a and b are opposites, or additive inverses.

The sum of additive inverses is zero.

a + b = 0

b = -a

I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu

ra1l [238]

The imaginary unit $i$ belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by $\mathbb C$ . These numbers take the form $a+bi$ , where $a,b$ are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, $\mathbb R$ , is a subset of $\mathbb C$ , where each number in $\mathbb R$ can be obtained by taking $b=0$ and letting $a$ be any real number.

But any number in $\mathbb C$ with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes $i$ .

"is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because $2=2+0i$ .

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising $i$ to the $i$ -th power. Since $i=e^{i\pi/2}$ , we have

$i^i=\left(e^{i\pi/2}\right)^i=e^{i^2\pi/2}=e^{-\pi/2}\approx0.2079$

Forty-two of the students in band own their instrument.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

112 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of students in the band.

From the question,

We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students

The total number of students can calculated for as follows:

37.5% x T = 42

37.5/100 x T = 42

Cross multiply to express in linear form

37.5 x T = 100 x 42

Divide both side by 37.5

T = (100 x 42) /37.5

T = 112

Therefore, there are 112 students in the band
