Answer:

-1/5+(√3)/20i or -0.2+0.05√3i

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-8+\sqrt{-12}}{40}=-\dfrac{8}{40}+\dfrac{2\sqrt{3}i}{40}=\boxed{-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{20}\sqrt{3}\,i=-0.2+0.05\sqrt{3}\,i}$

<em>Comment on answer form</em>

Satisfying the input format requirements of a computer is always problematic. One never knows if fractions or decimals are preferred, whether radicals must be simplified, and so on. If no clues are offered by general instructions, other questions, or previous experience, then it might be useful to consult your instructor.

Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.

Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

How does finding the greatest common factor help you to solve real world problem

Mashcka [7]

Greatest Common Factors (GCF) can help you in real life problems with fractions and measuring things. Below is a real life example.

Let's say you want to send cookies into one of two classes and want to make sure you have an even number per student. You know that one class has 8 students and the other has 10 students. How many cookies do you make?

Answer: All you have to do is figure out the biggest number that goes into each number equally (division). In this case the answer would be 2.

If i helped please comment below smiley And i hope i helped you!
