Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
roots of a complex number is given by DeMoivre's formula.
![\sf \boxed{\bf r^{\frac{1}{n}}\left[Cos \dfrac{\theta + 2\pi k}{n}+i \ Sin \ \dfrac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}\right]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csf%20%5Cboxed%7B%5Cbf%20r%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%7D%7D%5Cleft%5BCos%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctheta%20%2B%202%5Cpi%20k%7D%7Bn%7D%2Bi%20%5C%20Sin%20%5C%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctheta%2B2%5Cpi%20k%7D%7Bn%7D%5Cright%5D%7D)
Here, k lies between 0 and (n -1) ; n is the exponent.
a = -1 and b = √3
n = 4

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up two cases (Positive case and negative case) and solve for "x".
- POSITIVE CASE IF: 
- NEGATIVE CASE IF: 
Therefore, the solution is:
It equals 3600 combinations
4(equals the types of cones/cup) x 3(the measures of each one) x 20 (ice cream flavors) x 15 (toppings) += 3600 combinations
A² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 16²
x² = 16² - 8²
x² = 192
x =√192
x =8√3
But i was the night we had to get it done
