Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.

Given,

x + y = 2* (x - y)

x + y = 2x - 2y

x = 3y

Also given,

x = 6 + 2y

3y = 6 + 2y

--- y = 6

Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.

Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.

PLEASE HELP ME! Find the cube roots of 125(cos 288° + i sin 288°).

shutvik [7]

◆ COMPLEX NUMBERS ◆

125 ( cos 288 + i sin 288 ) can be written as -

125.e^i( 288)
125.e^i( 288 +360 )
125.e^i( 288+ 720)

[ As , multiples of 360 can be added to an angle without changing any trigonometric functions or sign ]

To find the cube root , take the cube root of above 3 expressions ,

We get -
5 e^( i 96 )
5 e^( i 216 )
5 e^( i 336 )

Now using Euler's formula , We rewrite above as -

5 ( cos 96 + i sin 96 )
5(c os 216 + i sin 216 )
5 ( cos 336 + i sin 336 ) Ans.
