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}

Evaluate the logarithm.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

x \approx 0.954

Step-by-step explanation:

The logarithm is evaluated as follows:

x = 2\cdot \log 3

x = \log 3^{2}

x = \log 9

The value of the logarithm can be estimated by means numeric methods, which can be easily used on calculators (i.e. Macaulay Series)

x \approx 0.954

. Two bicyclists, Sarah and Emily, depart from the same location. Sarah heads N55°E at an average speed of 6 km/hr. Emily heads
Liula [17]

Answer:

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Sarah's speed = 6 km/hr = 1.6667 m/s

Emily's speed = 10 km/hr = 2.7778 m/s

The measure of angle between their bearings = 105^{o}

After 30 minutes (1800 seconds);

distance = speed x time

Sarah would have covered a distance = 1.6667 x 1800

                               = 3000 m

                               = 3 km

Emily would have covered a distance = 2.7778 x 1800

                               = 5000 m

                               = 5 km

The distance between them, a, can be determined by applying the cosine rule;

a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2bcCos A

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) Cos 105

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) x (-0.2588)

   = 2.5 x 10^{7} + 9 x 10^{6} + 7764000

   = 41764000

a = \sqrt{41764000}

  = 6462.5073

a = 6462.5 m

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
