The identity for the difference of two squares is
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

Note that by definition, i² = -1.
Then
a² - (bi)² = a² - i²b² = a² - (-1)b² = a² + b².

Also from the identity,
a² - (bi)² = (a + bi)(a - bi) = a² - abi + abi - i²b² = a² - (-1)*b² = a² + b²

Therefore
a² - (bi)² = a² + b²

This identity is true.

Hello, I really need help on this 6b-7(-35b-3). It’s breaking my head
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

251 b + 21 or b = (-21)/251

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 b - 7 (-35 b - 3)

-7 (-35 b - 3) = 245 b + 21:

245 b + 21 + 6 b

Grouping like terms, 245 b + 6 b + 21 = (6 b + 245 b) + 21:

(6 b + 245 b) + 21

6 b + 245 b = 251 b:

Answer:  251 b + 21

__________________________________________

Or if you need the Roots.

Solve for b:

251 b + 21 = 0

Subtract 21 from both sides:

251 b + (21 - 21) = -21

21 - 21 = 0:

251 b = -21

Divide both sides by 251:

Answer: b = (-21)/251

Describe a scenario for 1/2 ÷ 3
Sholpan [36]
You can think of it as two separate fractions. 1/2 divided by 3/1. You can solve this by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. A reciprocal is switching the fraction by turning it over. So you just have to solve 1/2 multiplied by 1/3. As a result you get 1/6 as the answer! Hope this helped!

If the probability of p(m and n) =0.2 p(m)=0.4 and m and independent events, what is p(n)?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

P(n) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events which are independent, we use the multiplication rule which states P (A and B) = P(A) * P(B). Substitute P(m) = 0.4 and P(m and n) = 0.2 into this formula.

P (m and n) = P(m) * P(n)

0.2 = 0.4*P(n)

Divide by 0.4 on both sides.

0.2 / 0.4 = P(n)

0.5 = P(n)
