Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know i×i=i^2 which has value of -1.
We will multiply numerator and denominator by i so the denominator will no longer contain imaginary part(s).
Also multiplying by i/i does not change the value of the fraction because i/i=1.
Numerator × i gives (-5+i)i=-5i+i^2=-5i-1
=-1-5i.
Denominator × i gives (2i)i=2i^2=-2.
So the simplified version of this fraction given is:
The last simplification come from me multiplying fraction by -1/-1.
ANSWER
to the nearest thousandth.
EXPLANATION
The given irrational number is
We use the calculator to evaluate this to obtain,
To round to the nearest thousandth means we are rounding to 3 decimal places.
The third decimal place is 5.
The next number is 5 so we round up.
Synthetic division is quick and not difficult to learn. The number in the upper left box is the value of x you're evaluating the function for (1). The remaining numbers across the top are the coefficients of the polynomial in decreasing order by power (the way they are written in standard form). The number at lower left is the same as the number immediately above it—the leading coefficient of the polynomial.
Each number in the middle row is the product of the x-value (the number at upper left) and the number in the bottom row just to its left. The number in the bottom row is the sum of the two numbers above it.
So, the number below -4 is the product of x (1) and 1 (the leading coefficient). That 1 is added to -4 to give -3 on the bottom row. Then that is multiplied by 1 (x, at upper left) and written in the next column of the middle row. This proceeds until you run out of numbers.
The last number, at lower right, is the "remainder", also the value of f(x). Here, it is 2 (not 0) for x=1, so f(1) = 2.
