<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So 300 * 3.0x10^8 = ? We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer: 900 x 10^8 But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get 9 x 10^10 Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting: 9.0 x 10^10 So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>

Evaluate the expression (-4+4i)(1+4i)(1+4i) and write the result in the form a+bi
allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 of the 3 binomials are identical I would start the distribution there.

(1 + 4i)(1 + 4i) = 1+8i+16i^2

I'm sure you have learned in class by now that i-squared is = to -1, so we can make that substitution:

1 + 8i + 16(-1) which simpifies to

1 + 8i - 16 which simplifies further to

-15 + 8i.  Now we need to FOIL in the last binomial:

(-15 + 8i)(-4 + 4i) = 60-60i-32i+32i^2

Combine like terms to get

60-92i+32i^2

Again make the substitution of i-squared = -1:

60 - 92i + 32(-1) which simplifies to

60 - 92i - 32 which simpifies, finally, to a solution of:

28 - 92i
