Answer:

D.) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

-n/2 = -8

Multiply both sides of -n/2 = -8 by -2:

(-2 (-n))/2 = -2 (-8)

-2×(-1)/2 = (-2 (-1))/2:

(-2 (-1))/2 n = -2 (-8)

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 n = -2 (-8)

(-1)^2 = 1:

n = -2 (-8)

-2 (-8) = 16:

Answer: n = 16

Which expression represents the number 2i4−5i3+3i2+−81‾‾‾‾√ rewritten in a+bi form?

vichka [17]

Answer:

The expression $-1+14i$ represents the number $2i^4-5i^3+3i^2+\sqrt{-81}$ rewritten in a+bi form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of $i$ is $i=\sqrt{-1}[tex] or [tex]i^{2}=-1[\tex].Now [tex]i^{4}$ in term of $i^{2}[\tex] can be written as, [tex]i^{4}=i^{2}\times i^{2}$

Substituting the value,

$i^{4}=\left(-1\right)\times \left(-1\right)$

Product of two negative numbers is always positive.

$\therefore i^{4}=1$

Now $i^{3}$ in term of $i^{2}[\tex] can be written as, [tex]i^{3}=i^{2}\times i$

Substituting the value,

$i^{3}=\left(-1\right)\times i$

Product of one negative and one positive numbers is always negative.

$\therefore i^{3}=-i$

Now $\sqrt{-81}$ can be written as follows,

$\sqrt{-81}=\sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}$

Applying radical multiplication rule,

$\sqrt{ab}={\sqrt{a}}\sqrt{b}$

$\sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}={\sqrt{81}}\sqrt{-1}$

Now, $\sqrt{\left(81\right)=9$ and $\sqrt{-1}}=i$

$\therefore \sqrt{\left(81\right)\times\left(-1\right)}=9i$

Now substituting the above values in given expression,

$2i^4-5i^3+3i^2+\sqrt{-81}=2\left(1\right)-5\left(-i\right)+3\left(-1\right)+9i$

Simplifying,

$2+5i-3+9i$

Collecting similar terms,

$2-3+5i+9i$

Combining similar terms,

$-1+14i$

The above expression is in the form of a+bi which is the required expression.

Hence, option number 4 is correct.

The amount of mites that survive a new cancer treatment can be modeled by Y = 25(0.5)x Determine which number represents the dec

Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 0.5 since

y=25(0.5)x

since x is a variable that change usually describes the independent variable, and 25 is the sample that starts with, so 0.50 is the number that represent the decayed rates.

morpeh [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute X for the amount Annie spent

4x-$64 = 100

4x = $164

x = $164/4

x = $41
