bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

= -3i + (3/4+2i) - (9/3+3i)

= (3/4 - 9/3) + (-3 + 2 -3)i

= -9/4 -4i

The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

$|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of AD is

$|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of BC is:

$|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of CD is

$|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{20}$

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB $=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of BC $=\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be a square. It is a rhombus

What is the product of [x-(4+13i)][x-(4+13i)]

Luden [163]

Answer:

x^2 - (4+13i)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This product has the form (a-b)(a+b), which is a 'special product' equal to a^2 - b^2. Following this pattern, [x-(4+13i)][x-(4+13i)] = x^2 - (4+13i)^2. The 2nd term could be expanded if desired, but the above result is the most compact one possible.
