Let N be any integer. Then

i^N=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }N\equiv0\mod4\\i&\text{if }N\equiv1\mod4\\-1&\text{if }N\equiv2\mod4\\-i&\text{if }N\equiv3\mod4\end{cases}

In other words:

(1) If N is a multiple of 4, then i^N=1.

(2) If dividing N by 4 leaves a remainder of 1, then i^N=i, since i^N=i^{4n+1} for some integer n, and from (1) we know that i^{4n+1}=i^{4n}i=i (because, obviously, 4n is a multiple of 4).

(3) If instead you get a remainder of 2, then i^N=-1. This follows from (1) as well. i^N=i^{4n+2}=i^{4n}i^2=(1)(-1)=-1.

(4) Finally, if you get a remainder of 3, then i^N=i^{4n+3}=i^{4n}i^2i=(1)(-1)(i)=-i.

If 3x-8=-2 fins the value of x-6
adell [148]

Steps to solve:

3x - 8 = -2; x - 6

~Substitute

3(x - 6) = -2

~Distribute left side

3x - 18 = -2

~Add 18 to both sides

3x = 16

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = 16/3

Best of Luck!

Spends a total of $38.75 on 5 drinks and 2 bags of popcorn. Noah spends a total of $37.25 on 3 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn. Wri
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

3d + 4p = $37.25

5d + 2p = $38.75

Actual Answer:

Bag of popcorn is $5

A drink is $5.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let drinks = d

Let popcorn = p

Noah: 3d + 4p = $37.25

Other: 5d + 2p = $38.75

Choose a variable to eliminate (We'll choose p)

3d + 4p = $37.25

(5d + 2p = $38.75) -2

Distribute

-10d - 4p = -77.5

The -4p cancels out the 4p, then we combine

-7d = -40.25

Divide both sides by -7

-7d/-7 = -40.25/-7

d = 5.75

Back to 3d + 4p = $37.25

Substitute d with 5.75

3(5.75) + 4p = $37.25

17.25 + 4p = 37.25

Move the constant to the other side

17.25 + 4p = 37.25

-17.25           -17.25

4p = 20

Divide both sides by 4

4p/4 = 20/4

p = 5

charle [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-5

6x+3y=15

6x+3(3x-5)=15

6x+9x-15=15

15x-15=15

+15 +15

15x=30

/15. /15

x=2

6(2)+3y=15

12+3y=15

-12. -12

3y=3

/3 /3

y=1

a restroom Holiday Lights blinks once every 3 seconds why is there blue lights blink once every four seconds how many times will
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  10 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The lights blink at the same time (if they ever do) every 12 seconds, the least common multiple of the individual times. Then in 120 seconds, they will blink together ...

  120/12 = 10

times.

_____

You could count 11 (simultaneous) blinks, if you count the one at the start of a period of 120 seconds and also the one at the end of that period. If you start marking time between (simultaneous) blinks, you will count only 10.
