Answer:

One piece is  \frac{43}{3} inches and another piece is \frac{86}{3} inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller piece length be s

Let larger piece length be  l


Since total of two pieces is 43, we can write:

s+l=43


Also, one piece is twice as long as the other (so longer piece is definitely twice as the short piece), we can write:

l=2s


<em>Substituting equation 2 into equation one, we can solve for s:</em>

s+l=43\\s+(2s)=43\\3s=43\\s=\frac{43}{3}

<em>Thus longer piece is:</em>

l=2s=2(\frac{43}{3})=\frac{86}{3}

A)46. Take 42 and divide it by 3. Then multiply 14 by 4.
b)2:1. There are 2 wings for every 1 beak on a bird.
c)15 minutes. multiply 50 times 60 and that's how many times it beats per minute. Then divide 45000 by that number and that's how many minutes it should take.
d) 28%. You have to add all the students together, and you get 200. Then you divide 56 by 200.

How do I simplify the following to "a+bi" form: (1+2i)^3
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Expand it.

(1+2i)^3 is equal to (1+2i)(1+2i)(1+2i).

Multiply everything out (being sure to multiply <em>every</em> term. (1+2i) * (1+2i) = 1+2i+2i+4i^2.

i is the square root of negative one, so i^2 is just -1. 1+2i+2i-4 is what you get from the first two, so now simplify that:

1-4 + 2i+2i = (-3+4i) and now multiply that by (1+2i):

(-3+4i) * (1+2i) = -3 - 6i +4i +8i^2.

Simplify again, and the answer is: -11-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps - really my only tip is don't spend time thinking about what i is, that just hurts your brain. Just remember that i^2 is equal to negative one, and treat it like regular multiplication and you will be fine.
