why do we need imaginary numbers?explain how can we expand (a+ib)^5. finally provide the expanded solution of (a+ib)^5.(write a

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a. We need imaginary numbers to be able to solve equations which have the square-root of a negative number as part of the solution.

b. (a + ib)⁵ = a⁵ + 5ia⁴b - 10a³b² - 10ia²b³ + 5ab⁴ + ib⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Why do we need imaginary numbers?

We need imaginary numbers to be able to solve equations which have the square-root of a negative number as part of the solution. For example, the equation of the form x² + 2x + 1 = 0 has the solution (x - 1)(x + 1) = 0 , x = 1 twice. The equation x² + 1 = 0 has the solution x² = -1 ⇒ x = √-1. Since we cannot find the square-root of a negative number, the identity i = √-1 was developed to be the solution to the problem of solving quadratic equations which have the square-root of a negative number.

b. Expand (a + ib)⁵

(a + ib)⁵ = (a + ib)(a + ib)⁴ = (a + ib)(a + ib)²(a + ib)²

(a + ib)² = (a + ib)(a + ib) = a² + 2iab + (ib)² = a² + 2iab - b²

(a + ib)²(a + ib)² = (a² + 2iab - b²)(a² + 2iab - b²)

= a⁴ + 2ia³b - a²b² + 2ia³b + (2iab)² - 2iab³ - a²b² - 2iab³ + b⁴

= a⁴ + 2ia³b - a²b² + 2ia³b - 4a²b² - 2iab³ - a²b² - 2iab³ + b⁴

collecting like terms, we have

= a⁴ + 2ia³b + 2ia³b - a²b² - 4a²b² - a²b² - 2iab³ - 2iab³ + b⁴

= a⁴ + 4ia³b - 6a²b² - 4iab³ + b⁴

(a + ib)(a + ib)⁴ = (a + ib)(a⁴ + 4ia³b - 6a²b² - 4iab³ + b⁴)

= a⁵ + 4ia⁴b - 6a³b² - 4ia²b³ + ab⁴ + ia⁴b + 4i²a³b² - 6ia²b³ - 4i²ab⁴ + ib⁵

= a⁵ + 4ia⁴b - 6a³b² - 4ia²b³ + ab⁴ + ia⁴b - 4a³b² - 6ia²b³ + 4ab⁴ + ib⁵

collecting like terms, we have

= a⁵ + 4ia⁴b + ia⁴b - 6a³b² - 4a³b² - 4ia²b³ - 6ia²b³ + ab⁴ + 4ab⁴ + ib⁵

= a⁵ + 5ia⁴b - 10a³b² - 10ia²b³ + 5ab⁴ + ib⁵

So, (a + ib)⁵ = a⁵ + 5ia⁴b - 10a³b² - 10ia²b³ + 5ab⁴ + ib⁵

Which of the expressions below can be factored using the difference of squares method? A. 25x2 - 64y2 B. 17x2 + 23y2 C. 17x2 - 2

denis-greek [22]

Difference of squares method is a method that is used to evaluate the difference between two perfect squares.

For example, given an algebraic expression in the form:
$x^2-y^2$
can be factored as follows:
$(x-y)(x+y)$

From the given expressions, the only expression containing two perfect squares with the minus sign in the middle is the expression in option A.
i.e. $25x^2-64y^2$
which can be factored as follows:
$(5x-8y)(5x+8y)$ .
