The correct answer is: [A]: " $\frac{8}{729}$ " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
We are asked to simplify:

  → $(\frac{2}{9})^3$

_________________________________________________________
Note the following property of exponents:
_________________________________________________________

$( \frac{a}{b})^n$   = $\frac{(a^n)}{(b^n)}$ ; { b $\neq$ 0 } .

_________________________________________________________
As such:

→ $( \frac{2}{9})^3$ ;

= $\frac{2^3}{9^3}$ = $\frac{(2*2*2)}{(9*9*9)}$ = $\frac{8}{729}$ .

_____________________________________________________________

The answer is: " $\frac{8}{729}$ " ;

→ which is: "Answer choice: [A]:  " $\frac{8}{729}$ " .

Answer:

Solution ( Second Attachment ) : - 2.017 + 0.656i

Solution ( First Attachment ) : 16.140 - 5.244i

Step-by-step explanation:

Second Attachment : The quotient of the two expressions would be the following,

$6\left[\cos \left(\frac{2\pi }{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{2\pi \:}{5}\right)\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

So if we want to determine this expression in standard complex form, we can first convert it into trigonometric form, then apply trivial identities. Either that, or we can straight away apply the following identities and substitute,

( 1 ) cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x)

( 2 ) sin(x) = cos(π / 2 - x)

If cos(x) = sin(π / 2 - x), then cos(2π / 5) = sin(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = sin(π / 10). Respectively sin(2π / 5) = cos(π / 2 - 2π / 5) = cos(π / 10). Let's simplify sin(π / 10) and cos(π / 10) with two more identities,

( 1 ) $\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

( 2 ) $\sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \left(x\right)}{2}}$

These two identities makes sin(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and cos(π / 10) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ .

Therefore cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , and sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ . Substitute,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{2}\right)\right]$

Remember that cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting those values,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$

And now simplify this expression to receive our answer,

$6\left[ \left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}+i\left\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]$ ÷ $2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right]$ = $-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}+\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}i$ ,

$-\frac{3\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $-2.01749\dots$ and $\:\frac{3\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ = $0.65552\dots$

= $-2.01749+0.65552i$

As you can see our solution is option c. - 2.01749 was rounded to - 2.017, and 0.65552 was rounded to 0.656.

________________________________________

First Attachment : We know from the previous problem that cos(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , sin(2π / 5) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}}{4}$ , cos(- π / 2) = 0, and sin(- π / 2) = - 1. Substituting we receive a simplified expression,

$6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}}-6i\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}}$

We know that $6\sqrt{5+\sqrt{5}} = 16.13996\dots$ and $-\:6\sqrt{3-\sqrt{5}} = -5.24419\dots$ . Therefore,

Solution : $16.13996 - 5.24419i$

Which rounds to about option b.

The cost of ordering multiple items is sometimes, always or never proportional

AlladinOne [14]

Unless there is no promotion like "buy 2 get 1 free" or "buy 2 get 1 for 50%" etc. then the cost of ordering multiple items is always proportional. Let's say something costs $5. Two items will cost $10, three $15, four $20 etc. These numbers are all proportional. Hopefully that's what you meant :)

Answer:

Option "A" is correct answer to the following question.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, in triangle sum of two smaller lines ≥ largest side

So,

3 cm + 3 cm < 6 cm [Not correct to the given situation.]

3 cm + 4 cm > 5 cm [Correct]

3 cm + 5 cm > 7 cm [Correct]

3 cm + 6 cm > 6 cm [Correct]
