Based on the given solution above made by Donte, the mistake that he made is that h<span>e did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i). The answer is option A. Here is why. If we simplify this, it would look like this:
</span><span>4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i) 
4+12i - 8 + 5i
17i-4
so, </span>4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i) should be equal to 17i - 4. 
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Have a great day!

The answer is: [A]: He did not apply the distributive property correctly for                                        4(1 + 3i) .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac.
____________________________
As such: 4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + (4*3i) = 4 + 12i ;
_____________________________________
Instead, Donte somehow incorrectly calculated:
_____________________________________
4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + 3i = 4 + 31; (and did the rest of the problem correctly);

Note:  - (8 - 5i) = -8 + 5i (done correctly; 
___________________________________
So if Donte did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4*(1+3i)—and incorrect got 4 + 3i (as mentioned above); but did the rest of the problem correctly, he would have got:
_____________________________
4+ 3i - 8 + 5i = -4 + 8i (the incorrect answer as stated in our original problem.
__________________
This corresponds to: "Answer choice: [A]: <span>He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i)."

A population of rabbits doubles evey 4 months. if the population starts out with 8 rabbits how many rabbits will there be in 1 y
Arlecino [84]
Well. You start with two rabbits, and it triples every month, so:

0 months: 2 rabbits.
1 month: 2*3 = 6 rabbits.
2 months: 6*3 = 18 rabbits.
3 months: 18*3 = 54 rabbits.

Help me with a ASAP plz and explain
max2010maxim [7]

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=(2x-6)+(4x+7)=6x+1

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=(2x-6)-(4x+7)=-2x-13

(fg)(x)=f(x)×g(x)=(2x-6)(4x+7)=8x^2-10x-42

(f+g)(-2)=f(-2)+g(-2)=(2(-2)-6)+(4(-2)+7)=-11

A community is considering raising funds to pay for improvements to the community swimming pool. To measure
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Using sampling concepts, it is found that the correct option is:

This is a convenience sample and likely overestimates support for raising funds.

<h3>How are samples classified?</h3>

Samples may be classified as:

  • Convenient: Drawn from a conveniently available pool.
  • Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
  • Systematic: Every kth element is taken.
  • Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
  • Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.

In this problem, people at the pool were surveyed, hence it is a convenience sampling.

Also, since it only involved pool users, the proportion may be overestimated, hence the correct option is:

This is a convenience sample and likely overestimates support for raising funds.
