The square root of a a negative integer is imaginary.
It would still be a negative under a square root if you multiplied it by 2, therefor it will still be imaginary, or I’m assuming as your book calls it, undefined.
2•(sqrt-1) = 2sqrt-1
If you add a number to -1 itself, specifically 1 or greater it will become a positive number or 0 assuming you just add 1. In that case it would be defined.
-1 + 1 = 0
-1 + 2 = 1
If you add a number to the entire thing “sqrt-1” it will not be defined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1+ (sqrt-1)
If you subtract a number it will still have a negative under a square root, meaning it would be undefined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1 + (sqrt-1)
however if you subtract a negative number from -1 itself, you end up getting a positive number or zero. (Subtracting a negative number is adding because the negative signs cancel out).
-1 - -1 = 0
-1 - -2 = 1
If you squared it you would get -1, which is defined
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1
and if you cubed it, you would get a negative under a square root again, therefor it would be undefined.
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1 • sqrt-1 = -1(sqrt-1)
Sorry if this answer is confusing, I don’t have a scientific keyboard, I’ll get one soon.
Answer:
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount of Drink A and b = the amount of Drink B
Multiplying a number by 0.2 is the same as calculating 20% of it and same goes with 15% and 0.15. This makes our equation for the amount of fruit juice:
0.2a + 0.15b = 100.5
We know what the difference between a and b will be 30 liters so:
a - b = 30
Now we have our system of equations
To cancel out a, we can multiply the first equation by -5 so we will now have:
-a - 0.75b = -502.5
a - b = 30
Adding these two equations together, we get:
-1.75b = -472.5
Both sides are negative, so we can take the negative signs away.
1.75b = 472.5
Now divide both sides by 1.75
b = 270
Plugging 270 into b, we have:
a - b = 30
a - 270 = 30
Add 270 to both sides
a = 300
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
The last one is the correct one.
Answer:
2x³ + 5x² - 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer doesn't seem to be listed...
(fg)(x) = (2x² - 3x)(x + 4)
Which equals...
2x²(x) + 2x²(4) + (-3x)(x) + (-3x)(4)
Which simplifies to...
2x³ + 8x² - 3x² - 12x
2x³ + 5x² - 12x
Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.
to prove that the sides AB = AC
This can be done by the method of contradiction.
If possible let AB 
=AC
Then either AB>AC or AB<AC
Case i: If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC
Case ii: If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC
Conclusion:
Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC
Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that
AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.
