Xy = -150
x + y = 5

x + y = 5
x - x + y = -x + 5
y = -x + 5

xy = -150
x(-x + 5) = -150
x(-x) + x(5) = -150
-x² + 5x = -150
-x² + 5x + 150 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-5x) - 1(-150) = 0
  -1(x² - 5x - 150) = 0
-1 -1
x² - 5x - 150 = 0
x = -(-5) ± √((-5)² - 4(1)(-150))
  2(1)
x = 5 ± √(25 + 600)
2
x = 5 ± √(625)
2
x = 5 ± 25
2
x = 2.5 ± 12.5
x = 2.5 + 12.5 or x = 2.5 - 12.5
x = 15      or        x = -10

x + y = 5
15 + y = 5
- 15 - 15
y = -10
  (x, y) = (15, -10)

  or

x + y = 5
-10 + y = 5
+ 10 + 10
y = 15
  (x, y) = (-10, 15)

The two numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to -150 are 15 and -10.

Find the multiplicative inverse of 3 − 2i. Verify that your solution is corect by confirming that the product of

leonid [27]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{13} + \frac{2i}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of a complex number y is the complex number z such that (y)(z) = 1

So for this problem we need to find a number z such that

(3 - 2i) ( z ) = 1

If we take z = $\frac{1}{3-2i}$

We have that

$(3- 2i)\frac{1}{3-2i} = 1$ would be the multiplicative inverse of 3 - 2i

But remember that 2i = √-2 so we can rationalize the denominator of this complex number

$\frac{1}{3-2i } (\frac{3+2i}{3+2i } )=\frac{3+2i}{9-(4i^{2} )} =\frac{3+2i}{9-4(-1)} =\frac{3+2i}{13}$

Thus, the multiplicative inverse would be $\frac{3}{13} + \frac{2i}{13}$

The problem asks us to verify this by multiplying both numbers to see that the answer is 1:

Let's multiplicate this number by 3 - 2i to confirm:

$(3-2i)(\frac{3+2i}{13}) = \frac{9-4i^{2} }{13} =\frac{9-4(-1)}{13}= \frac{9+4}{13} = \frac{13}{13}= 1$

Thus, the number we found is indeed the multiplicative inverse of 3 - 2i

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{\frac{2}{3}}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given set:

$\to F \ or\ G = \{ 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12\}$

In the above-given set, there are 8 elements and 12 possible outcomes so, the equation is:

$\to P( F\ or \ G) = \frac{8}{12}$

$= \frac{2}{3}$

by using the general addition Rule:

$\to P(F \cup G) = P(F) +P(G)- P(F \cap G)$

$=\frac{5}{12}+\frac{4}{12}- P(E \cap H)\\\\=\frac{6}{12}+\frac{3}{12}- \frac{1}{12}\\\\=\frac{6+3-1}{12}\\\\=\frac{8}{12}\\\\=\frac{2}{3}\\\\$
