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

You must reverse the inequality sign when solving this inequality: x + 7 < 4
SSSSS [86.1K]

I'm not 100% sure what you want me to do with this but i hope this helps:


x < -3

or if you want me to flip the sign then the solution becomes

x > -3

How to solve 4n-40=7(-2n+2)
Damm [24]

4n-40=7(-2n+2)

4n-40=-14n+14

subtract -4n from both sides

-40 = -18n +14

subtract -14 from both sides

-54=-18n

divide both sides by -18


3 = n

Which statement is true? A. In any right triangle, the sine of one acute angle is equal to the cosine of the other acute angle.
mr Goodwill [35]

That would be choice 2. One acute angle is the complement of the other

eg in a 90-60-30 triangle sine 30 = cos 60
