Answer:

x = 1±2i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)^2 = -4.

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( (x - 1)^2) = sqrt(-4)

Sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a)sqrt(b)

We know the sqrt(4) = 2 and the sqrt(-1) = ±i

x-1 = ±2i

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1±2i

x = 1±2i

Can anyone do this with steps ..

Harrizon [31]

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \displaystyle{\lim_{x\to 0}}\dfrac{sinx-sin3x}{sins3x-sinx}$

$\boxed{\sf \displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{\lim_{x\to 0}f(x)}{\lim_{x\to 0}g(x)}}$

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \displaystyle{\dfrac{\lim_{x\to 0}sinx-\lim_{x\to 0}sin3x}{\lim_{x\to 0}sin3x-\lim_{x\to 0}sinx}}$

$\boxed{\sf \displaystyle{\lim_{x\to 0}}f(x)=f(a)}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{sin0-sin3(0)}{sin3(0)-sin0}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{0-0}{0-0}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{0}{0}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0$

Plz I need help with some Maths?

Dima020 [189]

Before Brian starts messing with them, there are 24 balls in the bag.
9 of them are white.

-- The probability that Brian draws a white ball from the bag is (9/24) .

If he has already drawn one white ball and put it aside, then there are
23 balls left in the bag, and 8 of them are white.

-- The probability that Brian draws a white ball from the bag this time
is (8/23) .

So the probability of white balls on both draws is

   (9/24) x (8/23) =

      (72/552) =

   3 / 23 = about <em>13% </em>(rounded)

What is the volume of the cone shown below?

STatiana [176]

The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is:

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi (radius)^2h$

So, replace radius = 3in and h = 8 in.

The result is: [1/3] π (3in)^2 (8in) = [1/3]π(9)(8) in^3 = 24 π in^3

Answer: option b. 24 π in^3
