<span>75 lbs of Earl Grey 225 lbs of Orange Pekoe Some definitions. E = number of pounds of Earl Grey (300-E) = number of pounds of Orange Pekoe Expression for selling price of new blend P=300*4.5 "there is to be no difference in revenue from selling the new blend versus selling the other types." so P = 6E + 4(300-E) Set them equal to each other, then solve for E 300*4.5 = 6E + 4(300-E) 1350 = 6E + 1200 - 4E 150 = 6E - 4E 150 = 2E 75 = E So 75 lbs of Earl Grey was used and 300-75 = 225 lbs of Orange Pekoe</span>

Which expression is equivalent to i 233?<br> a)1<br> b)–1<br> c)i<br> d)–i
Aneli [31]

We have to find the value of the expression i^{233}

We know that the below values.

i^2=-1\\i^4=1

Hence, in order to find the value of the given expression, we can first rewrite it in terms of i^4

i^{233}=(i^4)^{58}\cdot i

Now, we know that i^4=1

Hence, we have

i^{233}=(1)^{58}\cdot i

i^{233}=1\cdot i

i^{233}=i

C is the correct option.

Felicia is solving the expression -5(3x+2)+10x. Gregory is solving the expression -12-4x+?+?x. Both students simplified their an
densk [106]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

<em>Felicia</em>

-5(3x+2)+10x

Apply distributive property

-5(3x)-5(2)+10x

-15x-10+10x

Combine like terms

-5x-10

Let

a ----> the missing term with coefficient x in Gregory's expression

b ----> the missing constant  term in Gregory's expression

so

-12-4x+ax+b

equate Gregory's expression to Felicia's expression

-12-4x+ax+b=-5x-10

so

-12+b=-10 ----->b=2

-4x+ax=-5x ------> a=-1

so

Gregory's expression is

-12-4x+2-x

therefore

The missing terms are 2 and -x
