<h3>Answer: -13 - i</h3>
=======================================
Work Shown:
Let x = 5i-3
That allows us to go from (5i-3)(2i+1) to x(2i+1)
Distribute the x through: x*(2i) + x*(1) = 2i*x + x = 2i(x) + 1(x)
Now we replace every x in 2i(x) + 1(x) with 5i-3, and then we distribute a second time
2i(x) + 1(x) = 2i(5i-3) + 1(5i-3)
2i(x) + 1(x) = 2i(5i)+2i(-3) + 1(5i)+1(-3)
2i(x) + 1(x) = 10i^2 - 6i + 5i - 3
2i(x) + 1(x) = 10(-1) - i - 3
2i(x) + 1(x) = -10 - i - 3
2i(x) + 1(x) = -13 - i
Therefore, (5i-3)(2i+1) = -13 - i
The result is in a+bi form where a = -13 and b = -1.
------------------
An alternative method is to use the box method. This is where you set up a grid that helps you multiply out (5i-3)(2i+1)
See the diagram below.
Each of the 4 red terms in the boxes represents the result of multiplying the outer blue and green terms. Example: 5i times 2i = 10i^2 in row1, column1.
Answer:
Sabrina bought 3 pounds of bananas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:
a + b = 8 Eqn 1
0.95a + 1.10b = 8.05 Eqn 2
As we have to find the number of pounds of bananas bought, we will eliminate the variable a from the equation.
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 0.95
0.95(a+b=8)
0.95a+0.95b=7.60 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(0.95a+1.10b)-(0.95a+0.95b)=8.05-7.60
0.95a+1.10b-0.95a-0.95b=0.45
0.15b = 0.45
Dividing both sides by 0.15
Hence,
Sabrina bought 3 pounds of bananas.
