Steps to solve:

$9^x=4$

~Take log of both sides

$log(9^x)=log(4)$

$x*(log(9))=log(4)$

$x = \frac{log(4)}{log(9)}$

$x = 0.63093$

~Round to the nearest thousandth

0.63093 → 0.631

Best of Luck!

Let z=3+i, then find a. Z² b. |Z| c.<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7BZ%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sq

zysi [14]

Given z = 3 + i, right away we can find

(a) square

z ² = (3 + i )² = 3² + 6i + i ² = 9 + 6i - 1 = 8 + 6i

(b) modulus

|z| = √(3² + 1²) = √(9 + 1) = √10

(d) polar form

First find the argument:

arg(z) = arctan(1/3)

Then

z = |z| exp(i arg(z))

z = √10 exp(i arctan(1/3))

z = √10 (cos(arctan(1/3)) + i sin(arctan(1/3))

Any complex number has 2 square roots. Using the polar form from part (d), we have

√z = √(√10) exp(i arctan(1/3) / 2)

and

√z = √(√10) exp(i (arctan(1/3) + 2π) / 2)

Then in standard rectangular form, we have

$\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) + i \sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)\right)$

and

$\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right) + \pi\right) + i \sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right) + \pi\right)\right)$

We can simplify this further. We know that z lies in the first quadrant, so

0 < arg(z) = arctan(1/3) < π/2

which means

0 < 1/2 arctan(1/3) < π/4

Then both cos(1/2 arctan(1/3)) and sin(1/2 arctan(1/3)) are positive. Using the half-angle identity, we then have

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

and since cos(x + π) = -cos(x) and sin(x + π) = -sin(x),

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos\left(\arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right)}2}$

Now, arctan(1/3) is an angle y such that tan(y) = 1/3. In a right triangle satisfying this relation, we would see that cos(y) = 3/√10 and sin(y) = 1/√10. Then

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac3{\sqrt{10}}}2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\dfrac3{\sqrt{10}}}2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\cos\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

$\sin\left(\dfrac12 \arctan\left(\dfrac13\right)+\pi\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}$

So the two square roots of z are

$\boxed{\sqrt z = \sqrt[4]{10} \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}} + i \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}\right)}$

and

$\boxed{\sqrt z = -\sqrt[4]{10} \left(\sqrt{\dfrac{10+3\sqrt{10}}{20}} + i \sqrt{\dfrac{10-3\sqrt{10}}{20}}\right)}$

The half-life of plutonium-241 is 14.4 years. How much of the original 3.6 grams of this

avanturin [10]

$\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{current amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &3.6\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &45\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &14.4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=3.6\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{45}{14.4}}\implies A=3.6\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{3.125}\implies A\approx 0.41265$

Answer:
Choice A
1/17; no, they are dependent events

============================================

Explanation:

There are 13 spades and 52 cards total. So 13/52 = 1/4 is the probability of drawing one spade

If we do not replace the card we pull out, then the probability of another spade is 12/51 since there are 12 spades left out of 51 total.

Multiply the fractions 1/4 and 12/51 to get
(1/4)*(12/51) = (1*12)/(4*51) = 12/204 = 1/17

The two events are not independent because the second event (pulling out a second spade) depends entirely on what happens in the first event (pulling out a first spade). The fact that the probability is altered indicates we have dependent events.
