Answer:
D) x = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 8 = 0.5
Subtract 8 from each side
x+8-8 = .5 -8
x = -7.5
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
and
can be expressed in complex form, with
= i
=
=
×
= 8i
=
=
×
= 4i
the factors can then be expressed as
(6 + 8i)(3 - 4i) ← expand using FOIL
= 18 - 24i + 24i - 32i² [ i² = (
)² = - 1 ]
= 18 - 24i + 24i + 32 ← collect like terms
= 18 + 32 + 0
= 50
C. negative exponents always go at the bottom
