The shortest possible height of tower is 24 cm.

Tim used 4 blue blocks and his brother used 3 green blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of blue block = 6 cm

Height of green block = 8 cm

We will take least common multiple to find the shortest possible height.

6 = 2*3

8 = 2*2*2

LCM = 2*2*2*3 = 24 cm

The shortest possible height of tower is 24 cm.

Number of blue blocks used = \frac{24}{6} = 4

Number of green blocks used = \frac{24}{8} = 3

Tim used 4 blue blocks and his brother used 3 green blocks.

Find the domain of the function f(x) = 7x2 + 8x - 15.
amm1812

Answer:

Domain is all real numbers or (negative infinity, positive infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is all values of <em>x</em> (inputs) that will work with the function. Since a parabola has no limits for <em>x</em>, and all numbers work for <em>x</em>, then the domain can be any number. That leaves us with All Real Numbers as our answer.

Problem 5

<h3>Answer:   6i</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We have these four identities

  • i^0 = 1
  • i^1 = i
  • i^2 = -1
  • i^3 = -i

Notice how computing i^4 leads us back to 1. So i^4 = i^0. The pattern repeats every 4 terms. So we divide the exponent by 4 and look at the remainder. We ignore the quotient entirely. We can see that 28/4 = 7 remainder 0. Meaning that i^28 = i^0 = 1.

We can think of it like this if you wanted

i^28 = (i^4)^7 = 1^7 = 1

Then the sqrt(-36) becomes 6i

So overall, we end up with the final answer of 6i

=============================================

Problem 6

<h3>Answer:  -3i</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We'll use the ideas mentioned in problem 5

46/4 = 11 remainder 2

i^46 = i^2 = -1

sqrt(-9) = 3i

The two outside negative signs cancel out, but there's still a negative from -1 we found earlier. So we end up with -3i

In other words, here is one way you could write out the steps

-i^{46}*-\sqrt{-9}\\\\-i^{2}*-3i\\\\i^{2}*3i\\\\-1*3i\\\\-3i\\\\

=============================================

Problem 7

<h3>Answer:   -1</h3>

------------------

Work Shown:

i^10 = i^2 because 10/4 = 2 remainder 2

i^19 = i^3 because 19/4 = 4 remainder 3

i^7 = i^3 because 7/4 = 1 remainder 3

Again, all we care about are the remainders.

i^{10}+i^{19} - i^{7}\\\\i^{2}+i^{3} - i^{3}\\\\i^{2}\\\\-1

=============================================

Problem 8

<h3>Answer:    -1 + i</h3>

------------------

Work Shown:

i^22*i^6 = i^(22+6) = i^28

Earlier in problem 5, we found that i^28 = i^0 = 1

So,

i^1 - \left(i^{22}*i^{6}\right)\\\\i^1 - i^{28}\\\\i^1 - i^{0}\\\\i - 1\\\\-1+i

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(BA)=P(B)+P(A)-P(AnB)

= 0.51+0.8-0.468

=1.31-0.468

=0.842

P(BA) = 0.842
