Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:3, then

  • there are 2x boys;
  • there are 3x girls.

If there are 18 girls in the class, then

3x=18\\ \\x=6

Thus, there are

  • 2\cdot 6=12 boys;
  • 3\cdot 6=18 girls;
  • 12+18=30 students in total.

The probability of a boy being in the class is

P=\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4

Find the complex fourth roots of 81(cos(3π/8)+isin(3π/8)). a) Find the fourth root of 81. b) Divide the angle in the problem by
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a complex z = r(cos θ + isinθ), the nth root of the complex number is given as:

z_1=r^{\frac{1}{n} }(cos(\frac{\theta +2k\pi}{n} )+isin(\frac{\theta +2k\pi}{n} )),\\k=0,1,2,.\ .\ .,n-1

Given the complex number z = 81(cos(3π/8)+isin(3π/8)), the fourth root (i.e n = 4) is given as follows:

z_{k=0}=81^{\frac{1}{4} }(cos(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(0)\pi}{4} )+isin(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(0)\pi}{4} ))=3[cos(\frac{3\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{3\pi}{32})] \\z_{k=0}=3[cos(\frac{3\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{3\pi}{32})]\\\\z_{k=1}=81^{\frac{1}{4} }(cos(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(1)\pi}{4} )+isin(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(1)\pi}{4} ))=3[cos(\frac{19\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{19\pi}{32})] \\z_{k=1}=3[cos(\frac{19\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{19\pi}{32})]\\\\

z_{k=2}=81^{\frac{1}{4} }(cos(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(2)\pi}{4} )+isin(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(2)\pi}{4} ))=3[cos(\frac{35\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{35\pi}{32})] \\z_{k=2}=3[cos(\frac{35\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{35\pi}{32})]\\\\z_{k=3}=81^{\frac{1}{4} }(cos(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(3)\pi}{4} )+isin(\frac{\frac{3\pi}{8}  +2(3)\pi}{4} ))=3[cos(\frac{51\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{51\pi}{32})] \\z_{k=3}=3[cos(\frac{51\pi}{32} )+isin(\frac{51\pi}{32})]

The sum of two numbers is 68. The second number is 2 more than twice<br> the first.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

22 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

let

one number is x

another is 2x+2

now 2x+2+x=68

or, 3x+2=68

3x=66

or x=66/3=22

so one number is 22 and another is (22X2+2)=46
