B/a = (3 - 2i)/(2 + i)
To divide complex numbers, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator.
The complex conjugate is 2 - i. ** Remember i^2 = -1    **a + bi

( 3 - 2i) ( 2 - i)
-------------------         Foil numerator and denominator.
(2 + i)  ( 2 - i)

 6 - 3i - 4i + 2i^2          6 - 7i - 2        4 - 7i                4    - 7i
---------------------          -----------        -------    OR     ---    -----   
         4 - i^2                  4 + 1              5                    5      5


The answer can be written either way. If they specify real part and imaginary part, the second option is correct.

Travis made a business trip of
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

At 53 mph, he traveled for 1.5 hours

At 58 mph, he traveled for 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

distance = speed * time

let the time for the first part of the trip be x hours and the second part be y hours

Total hours is 3.5

So therefore;

x + y = 3.5 ••••••••(i)

Now let’s work with the rate

53 mph for x hours = 53 * x = 53x miles

58 mph for y hours = 58 * y = 58y miles

Adding both;

53x + 58y = 195.5 miles ••••••••(ii)

We have two equations to solve simultaneously

From i, x = 3.5 - y

insert into ii

53(3.5-y) + 58y = 195.5

185.5 - 53y + 58y = 195.5

5y = 195.5-185.5

5y = 10

y = 10/5

y = 2 hours

x = 3.5 - y

x = 3.5 - 2

x = 1.5 hours

I need answer ASAP<br> No links please
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know that angle A and D are congruent, if angles C and F were also congruent, we can prove the triangles are similar through AA, meaning the triangles have 2 sets of corresponding congruent angles. The other option D doesn’t work because if we were going off on using the sides as a way to prove similarly, than all 3 sides of one triangle would need to be proportional and corresponding to the other 3 of the other triangle (which is not given, so that info isn’t enough, option D only gives us 2 sides of each triangle)

Hope this helped ~~

Find the area and circumference of a circle with radius 2 cm use 3.14 for pie do not round answers
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The area is 12.56, and the circumference is 12.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the area,

We need to use the formula A=3.14*radius*radius

So we plug it in, and we get 3.14*2*2, which is 12.56 centimeters squared.

For circumference, we need to do,

C = 3.14*diameter

To find the diameter we need to do 2 (radius) x 2 which is 4

Plugging it in that would be 3.14 * 4 which is 12.56

So, in this case, the area is 12.56, and the circumference is also 12.56.
