Answer:

The width of the piece is 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the rectangular piece of aluminum in inches

y ----> the width of the rectangular piece of aluminum in inches

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular piece of aluminum is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=64\ in$

$64=2(x+y)$

simplify

$32=x+y$ ----> equation A

$x=y+10$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$32=y+10+y$

solve for y

$32=2y+10$

$2y=32-10$

$2y=22$

$y=11$

therefore

The width of the piece is 11 inches

Solve to the correct order

Marianna [84]

32^3/5 = 8

64^2/3 = 16

81^1/4 = 3

49^1/2 = 7

125^2/3 = 25

now just put them in order from the smallest value to the largest

Divide. a.1 − 2i/2i b. 5 − 2i/5 + 2i c.√3 − 2i/−2 − √3i

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a) \frac{-1i}{2}-1[/tex]

(b) $\frac{20i+21}{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform division

(a) $\frac{1-2i}{2i}$

So after division

$\frac{1-2i}{2i}=\frac{1}{2i}-\frac{2i}{2i}=\frac{-1i}{2}-1$

(b) We have given expression $\frac{5-2i}{5+2i}$

After rationalizing $\frac{5-2i}{5+2i}\times \frac{5-2i}{5-2i}=\frac{(5-2i)^2}{25+4}=\frac{25+4i^2+20i}{29}=\frac{20i+21}{29}$

After rationalizing

$\frac{\sqrt{3}-2i}{-2-\sqrt{3i}}\times \frac{-2+\sqrt{3i}}{-2+\sqrt{3i}}=\frac{-2\sqrt{3}+7i+2\sqrt{3}}{7}=\frac{7i}{7}=i$
