Please help!!! Algebra 2 question

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

 

Answer:

   4 + i

Discussion:

    Let's verify the square root given above:

   (4 + i) ^ 2= 4^2 + i^2 + 8i = 16 - 1 + 81 = 15 +8i

   so (4+i) is indeed a square root.


    How did I find this? Suppose that

    sqrt(15 + 8i) = a + bi

    Squaring both sides gives

       15 + 8i = a^2 + 2abi + b^2*i^2 or

       15 + 8i = a^2 + 2abi + b^2 (-1) or

       15 + 8i = (a^2 - b^2) + (2ab)i.

   Equating real and imaginary parts gives:

         a^2 - b^2 = 15 and    2ab = 8

  Now 2ab= 8 =>  b = 8/(2a) = 4/a. Substitute this value in the equation

  a^2 - b^2 = 15 to get

  a^2 - (4/a)^2 = 15.            Multiply both sides by a^2

  (a^2) * (a^2) - (4/a)^2 * (a^2) = 15 * a^2  or

  (a^4) - 16 =  15 a^2 or rearranging

  (a^2) ^2 - 15 (a^2) - 16 = 0.

  This is a quadratic equation in a^2! Use the quadratic formula to solve for

  a^2 . You will get that a^2  = -1 ( no way!  ) or a^2 = 16. If a^2 = 16, then

  a = 4 and from 2ab = 8, 2(4)b = 8, or 8b = 8 or b = 1.

I am now officially tired...... hope this helps.



Thank you,

MrB

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.42×10^34 molecules/min

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Multiply the various factors, along with the unit conversion (60 s/min).

... (3.35×10^25 molecules/L) × (2.2×10^7 L/s) × (60 s/min)

... = (3.35×2.2×60)×10^(25+7) molecules/min

... = 442.2×10^32 molecules/min

... ≈ 4.42×10^34 molecules/min

A globe company currently manufactures a globe that is 16 inches in diameter. If the dimensions of the globe were reduced by hal
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

D. 267.9 in3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know the diameter is 16 inches.

So we need to find the radius and we do that by: 16/2 = 8 then it is reduced by half: 8/2 = 4

Now we need to find the volume.

V= 4/3 times 3.14 times 4^3= 268.08

So we would need to round which would give us 267.9 in3.

Therefore the answer is the D. 267.9 in3.

I hope this helps!!!

The average annual income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function:
Eduardwww [97]
I = -425x^2 + 45500x - 650000
For I to be maximum, dI/dx = 0
dI/dx = -850x + 45500 = 0
x = 45500/850 = 53.53

Therefore, maximum I = -425(53.53)^2 + 45500(53.53) - 650000 = 567,794.11

Therefore, <span>the maximum average annual income, in dollars, a lawyer can earn</span>  is $567,794
