Answer:

Welcome to the land of complex numbers, aka argand plane.

$\sqrt{-1}=i$

and yes, $i^2=-1$

it's originated by the equation, $x^2+1=0$

the fundamental theorem States a polynomial equation has the same number of roots as its degree. though that equation, doesn't in real plane, it has roots ± $i$ .

called iota.

Answer:

There is no answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no square root of -1. Although 1 can be derived from 1x1, 1 is not the square root of 1 as positive 1 x positive 1 will always give a positive 1. Similarly, negative 1 x negative 1 will always give a positive 1 hence it is not possible for -1 to have a square root.

Answer:

1. x = 18.4

2. x = -1.25

3. x = $\frac{5}{12}$

4. x = 12.3

5. x = 6.4

6. z = 5.8

7. x = $\frac{1}{12}$

8. x = - $\frac{1}{4}$

9. x = $\frac{1}{3}$

10. x = -9

11. z = 18

12. x = 7

13. x = -9

14. x = -36

15. x = -7

16. x = 8

17. z = -1.5

18. x = - $\frac{45}{7}$

19. x = 16

20. x = -12

21. x = $\frac{8}{3}$

22. x = -1.6

23. x = 1.8

24. x = -8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 3.5 = 14.9 (add 3.5 to each side)

x = 18.4

2. x + 2.25 = 1 (subtract 2.25 from each side)

x = -1.25

3. - $\frac{1}{3}$ = x - $\frac{3}{4}$ (add $\frac{3}{4}$ to each side)

$\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ = x (multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by $\frac{3}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ by $\frac{4}{4}$ to get a common denominator)

$\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{4}{12}$ = x

$\frac{5}{12}$ = x

4. x - 2.8 = 9.5 (add 2.8 to each side)

x = 12.3

5. x - 8.5 = -2.1 (add 8.5 to each side)

x = 6.4

6. z - 9.4 = -3.6 (add 9.4 to each side)

z = 5.8

7. x + $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{12}$ (subtract $\frac{5}{6}$ from each side)

x = $\frac{11}{12}$ - $\frac{5}{6}$ (multiply $\frac{5}{6}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{11}{12}$ - $\frac{10}{12}$

x = $\frac{1}{12}$

8. - $\frac{5}{6}$ + x = - $\frac{13}{12}$ (add $\frac{5}{6}$ to each side)

x = $\frac{5}{6}$ - $\frac{13}{12}$ (multiply $\frac{5}{6}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{10}{12}$ - $\frac{13}{12}$

x = - $\frac{3}{12}$ = - $\frac{1}{4}$

9. x - $\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$ (add $\frac{1}{9}$ to each side)

x = $\frac{1}{9}$ + $\frac{5}{18}$ (multiply $\frac{1}{9}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ to get a common denominator)

x = $\frac{2}{18}$ + $\frac{5}{18}$

x = $\frac{6}{18}$ = $\frac{3}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

10. x + 6 = -3 (subtract 6 from each side)

x = -9

11. z - 7 = 11 (add 7 to each side)

z = 18

12. -1 = x - 8 (add 8 to each side)

7 = x

13. -4x = 36 (divide each side by -4)

x = -9

14. - $\frac{x}{3}$ = 12 (multiply each side by -3)

x = -36

15. 63 = -9x (divide each side by -9)

-7 = x

16. 6.4 = 0.8x (divide each side by 0.8)

8 = x

17. -2.8z = 4.2 (divide each side by -2.8)

z = -1.5

18. - $\frac{7}{9}$ x = 5 (divide each side by - $\frac{7}{9}$ )

x = $\frac{5}{1}$ ÷ - $\frac{7}{9}$

x = $\frac{5}{1}$ (times) - $\frac{9}{7}$

x = - $\frac{45}{7}$

19. $\frac{1}{2}$ x = 8 (divide each side by $\frac{1}{2}$ )

x = 16

20. - $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 9 (divide each side by - $\frac{3}{4}$ )

x = -12

21. - $\frac{7}{8}$ x = - $\frac{21}{64}$ (divide each side by - $\frac{7}{8}$ )

x = - $\frac{7}{8}$ ÷ - $\frac{21}{64}$

x = - $\frac{7}{8}$ (times) - $\frac{64}{21}$

x = $\frac{448}{168}$ = $\frac{56}{21}$ = $\frac{8}{3}$

22. 1.6x = -3.2 (divide each side by 1.6)

x = -1.6

23. - $\frac{1}{2}$ = - $\frac{5}{18}$ x (divide each side by - $\frac{5}{18}$ )

1.8 = x

24. -2.5x = 20.5 (divide each side by -2.5)

x = -8.2

ASAP The tee for the fourth hole on a golf course is 300 yards from the tee. On that hole, Marsha hooked her ball to the left, a

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

C. 97.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Marsha, the ball and the tee for the fourth hole, forms a triangle.

Thus, the distance between Marsha's ball and the hole can be calculated using the Cosine formula below:

c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)

Where,

c = distance between Marsha's ball and the hole = ?

a = distance between the tee for the fourth hole and the tee = 300 yd

b = distance between tee and the hole = 255 yd

C = 18°

c² = 300² + 255² - 2(300)(255)cos(18)

c² = 90000 + 65025 - 153000 × 0.951

c² = 155025 - 145503

c² = 9522

c = √9522 ≈ 97.5

c = distance between Marsha’s ball and the hole = 97.5 yd (nearest tenth)

The price of grapes, g, is $2.19 per pound. The price of bananas, b, is $0.59 per pound. The price of pears, p, is $1.49 per pou

AlekseyPX

Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.

Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p

Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32

The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32
