3 big + 3 x 4 small x 3 x 4 x 3 smaller

= 3 big + 12 small + 36 smaller

= 51 total

Use complete sentences to describe why √-1 ≠ -√1

tekilochka [14]

Well let's say that to compare these two numbers, we have to start with the definition first.

<u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = x} \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{x} }$

Looks like we can use any x-values right? Nope.

The value of x only applies to any positive real numbers for one reason.

As we know, any numbers time itself will result in positive. No matter the negative or positive.

<u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>I</u><u>I</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{2} = a \times a = |b| }$

Where b is the result from a×a. Let's see an example.

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>a</u><u>m</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>s</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ {2}^{2} = 2 \times 2 = 4} \\ \displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{2} = ( - 2) \times ( - 2) = | - 4| = 4}$

So basically, their counterpart or opposite still gives same value.

Then you may have a question, where does √-1 come from?

It comes from this equation:

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = - 1}$

When we solve the quadratic equation in this like form, we square both sides to get rid of the square.

$\displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {y}^{2} } = \sqrt{ - 1} }$

Then where does plus-minus come from? It comes from one of Absolute Value propety.

<u>A</u><u>b</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>V</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>P</u><u>r</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>t</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>I</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = |x| }$

Solving absolute value always gives the plus-minus. Therefore...

$\displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{ - 1} }$

Then we have the square root of -1 in negative and positive. But something is not right.

As I said, any numbers time itself of numbers squared will only result in positive. So how does the equation of y^2 = -1 make sense? Simple, it doesn't.

Because why would any numbers squared result in negative? Therefore, √-1 does not exist in a real number system.

Then we have another number which is -√1. This one is simple.

It is one of the solution from the equation y^2 = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = 1} \\ \displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {y}^{2} } = \sqrt{1} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{1} }$

We ignore the +√1 but focus on -√1 instead. Of course, we know that numbers squared itself will result in positive. Since 1 is positive then we can say that these solutions exist in real number.

<u>C</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>s</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

So what is the different? The different between two numbers is that √-1 does not exist in a real number system since any squared numbers only result in positive while -√1 is one of the solution from y^2 = 1 and exists in a real number system.

Nicole sold 1 cherry pie and 9 pumpkin pies for $60. Lisa sold 11 cheery pies and 4 pumpkin pies for $90. what's the cost each o

zubka84 [21]

X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie

NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60

LISA
11x + 4y= $90

STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11

-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms

(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)

-11x - 99y= -660

STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)

-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"

-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95

y= $6 per pumpkin pie

STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x

x + 9y= $60

x + 9(6)= 60

x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides

x= $6 per cherry pie

CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90

ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.

Hope this helps! :)
