Simplify the following expression using imaginary numbers. Express your answer in a + bi form
1 answer:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
0 - 17i
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>Given expression;
i⁸⁰ + i³⁸ - i17
To express the expression in the form a+bi;
<em>i. Rewrite the expression such that it contains terms in i²</em>
(i²)⁴⁰ + (i²)¹⁹ - i17
<em>ii. Solve the result from (i) above using the identity i² = -1</em>
We know that the square root of -1 is i. i.e
<em>Squaring both sides gives</em>
<em>=> </em><em />
=> -1 = i²
Therefore,
i² = -1
<em>Substitute i² = -1 in step (i) above</em>
(-1)⁴⁰ + (-1)¹⁹ - i17
<em>(iii) Solve the result in (ii)</em>
We know that the when a negative number is raised to the power of an even number, the result is a positive number. If it is raised to the power of an odd number, the result is a negative number. Therefore,
(-1)⁴⁰ + (-1)¹⁹ - i17 becomes
1 + (-1) - i17
0 - i17
<em>(iv) Write the result from (iii) in the form a+bi</em>
0 - 17i

Answer:
Vertical Asymptote:
Horizontal asymptote:
it does not exist
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
Vertical asymptote:
we know that vertical asymptotes are values of x where f(x) becomes +inf or -inf
we know that any log becomes -inf when value inside log is zero
so, we can set value inside log to zero
and then we can solve for x
we get
Horizontal asymptote:
we know that
horizontal asymptote is a value of y when x is +inf or -inf
For finding horizontal asymptote , we find lim x-->inf or -inf
so, it does not exist
