<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of DP is:

DP=14 units

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Point P is the midpoint of DE.

DP =3x + 2 and DE = 10x - 12.

We know that a midpoint divides the given line segment into two equal parts (i.e. it bisects a line segment)

Hence, we have:

DP+PE=DE

Also, DP=PE

This means that:

2DP=DE

2(3x+2)=10x-12

2×(3x)+2×2=10x-12

6x+4=10x-12

10x-6x=4+12

4x=16

x=16/4

x=4

Hence,

DP=3x+2=3×4+2

i.e.

DP=14

If P <span>is the midpoint of DE then
DE = 2(DP)
10x - 12 = 2(3x + 2)
10x - 12 = 6x + 4
10x - 6x = 4 + 12
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

DP = 3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 units</span>

Find [4(cos15° + isin15°)]^3 and express it in a + bi form.

arsen [322]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using De Moivre's theorem

Given

[ 4(cos15° + isin15° ) ]³, then

= 4³ [ cos(3 × 15°) + isin(3 × 15°) ]

= 64 (cos45° + isin45° )

= 64 ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ i )

= 64 ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ (1 + i) )

= 32 $\sqrt{2}$ (1 + i)

= 32 $\sqrt{2}$ + 32 $\sqrt{2}$ i
