I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu

mbers. But what about imaginary number i. And is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number.

The imaginary unit i belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by \mathbb C. These numbers take the form a+bi, where a,b are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, \mathbb R, is a subset of \mathbb C, where each number in \mathbb R can be obtained by taking b=0 and letting a be any real number.

But any number in \mathbb C with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes i.

  • "is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because 2=2+0i.

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising i to the i-th power. Since i=e^{i\pi/2}, we have

i^i=\left(e^{i\pi/2}\right)^i=e^{i^2\pi/2}=e^{-\pi/2}\approx0.2079

Find the annual interest rate.
slega [8]

The annual interest rate is 3.5%.

Solution:

Given Interest (I) = $26.25

Principal (P) = $500

Time (t) = 18 months

Rate of interest (r) = ?

Time must be in years to find the rate per annum.

1 year = 12 months

Divide the time by 12.

Time (t) = \frac{18}{12}=\frac{3}{2} years

Now, find the rate of interest using simple interest formula.

<u>Simple interest formula:</u>

$I=\frac{Prt}{100}

$26.25=\frac{500\times r\times \frac{3}{2} }{100}

$26.25\times 100 =500\times r\times \frac{3}{2}

$2625 =250\times r\times 3

$2625 =750\times r

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{2625}{750}

⇒ r = 3.5%

Hence the annual interest rate is 3.5%.

Help what are the answers im so stuck!
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change is computed as follows:

  percent change = ((new value) -(original value))/(original value) × 100%

For your first one, this looks like ...

  percent change = ($25 -$75)/$75 × 100% = (-50/75) × 100% = -0.667×100%

  percent change = -66.7%

__

When there are a lot of similar calculations to do, I like to use a spreadsheet. See below for the other percentage changes (rightmost column).

I think garden center grass seed sells for eight dollars per pound Haley spent $10 on grass seeds what amount of C did he buy
Yanka [14]
If seeds are 8 per pound then you need to find the unit rate and make a proportion with how much she spent. So you can make a ratio of 1(pound) / $8 compared to x(pounds) / $10. Then, cross-multiply.
 10 = 8x.   Divide both sides by 8
 10/ 8 = x  Simplify the fraction
 1 1/4 = x
So, she bought 1 1/4 pounds of seeds
