Rationalize the denominator of sqrt -49 over (7 - 2i) - (4 + 9i)

\sqrt{ \frac{-49}{(7-2i)-(4+9i) } } 


This one is quite the deal, but we can begin by distributing the negative on the denominator and getting rid of the parenthesis:

\frac{ \sqrt{-49}}{7-2i-4-9i}

See how the denominator now is more a simplification of like terms, with this I mean that you operate the numbers with an "i" together and the ones that do not have an "i" together as well. Namely, the 7 and the -4, the -2i with the -9i.
Therefore having the result: 

\frac{ \sqrt{-49} }{3-11i}

Now, the \sqrt{-49} must be respresented as an imaginary number, and using the multiplication of radicals, we can simplify it to \sqrt{49}  \sqrt{-1}
This means that we get the result 7i for the numerator.

\frac{7i}{3-11i}

In order to rationalize this fraction even further, we have to remember an identity from the previous algebra classes, namely: x^2 - y^2 =(x+y)(x-y)
The difference of squares allows us to remove the imaginary part of this fraction, leaving us with a real number, hopefully, on the denominator.

\frac{7i (3+11i)}{(3-11i)(3+11i)}

See, all I did there was multiply both numerator and denominator with (3+11i) so I could complete the difference of squares.
See how (3-11i)(3+11i)= 3^2 -(11i)^2 therefore, we can finally write:

\frac{7i(3+11i)}{3^2 - (11i)^2 }

I'll let you take it from here, all you have to do is simplify it further.
The simplification is quite straightforward, the numerator distributed the 7i. Namely the product 7i(3+11i) = 21i+77i^2.
You should know from your classes that i^2 = -1, thefore the numerator simplifies to -77+21i
You can do it as a curious thing, but simplifying yields the result:
\frac{-77+21i}{130}

How do you graph y=6x-3
diamong [38]

y=6x-3

put a point on (0,-3) this is your y intercept

go up 6 and over 1 this should land you at (1,0) do this again and your at  (2,6)

go back to the y intercept now go down 6 and over 1, this should land you (-1,-6)

continue to do this until you graph is filled

Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between variables x and y ?
Mademuasel [1]
The option C) y = 15/x

a) y = 15 x is an example of direct variation, with proportionality constant = 15

b) is an example of linear variation (it is the equation of a straight line that does not pass through the origin)

c) y = 15/x => y*x = 15 = constant which is the characteristic of an inverse relation

d) y = x/15 is an example of an inverse relation, with proportion constant = 1/15
