Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

3 triangles will be formed.

Exercise 1:

The easiest way to compute powers of complex numbers is to write them in the form

$z = \rho e^{i\theta} = \rho(\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta))$

In this form, you have

$z^n = \rho^n e^{in\theta} = \rho^n(\cos(n\theta)+i\sin(n\theta))$

The magnitude of the number is given by

$z=a+bi \implies \rho = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

So, we have

$z=-1+\sqrt{3}i \implies \rho = \sqrt{1+3}=2$

As for the angle, we have

$z=a+bi \implies \theta = \text{atan2}\dfrac{b}{a}$

So, we have

$z=-1+\sqrt{3}i \implies \theta = \text{atan2}\left(\dfrac{-\sqrt{3}}{-1}\right) = -\dfrac{2\pi}{3}$

Finally,

$z=-1-\sqrt{3}i = 2\left(\cos\left( -\dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) + i\sin\left( -\dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right) \implies z^6 = 2^6\left(\cos\left( -4\pi\right) + i\sin\left(-4\pi\right)\right) = 64$

Exercise 2:

You simply have to compute the trigonometric function:

$\cos\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\quad \sin\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

So, we have

$z = \sqrt{2}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} - i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = 1-i$

What is the value of x with clear working out please?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Answer:  x is 46° 

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's first find Angle ACB

${ \rm{ \angle ACB + 23 \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{ \angle ACB = (180 - 90 - 23) \degree}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \rm{ \: \angle ACB = 67 \degree}}}$

• From alternative angles, x = Angle BAC.

• Since AB = AC, then Angle ABC = Angle ACB

${ \rm{x + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 67 \degree + 67 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 134 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x = 46 \degree}}}$
