Answer:

5 + 2i

We were given the complex numbers;

a = - 2 - 5i

and

b = - i

We want to find the product;

ab^3                            ^ = Exponent

We substitute the complex numbers into the expression and simplify

( - 2 - 5i ) (i)^3                     ^ = Exponent            

This is rewritten as:

( - 2 - 5i) (i)^2     x  i                           ^ = Exponent

Note that

i^2 = - 1                                            ^ = Exponent

We substitute to obtain:

( - 2 - 5i )  x  - i                

Let us expand to get:  

- 2 x - i + 5i  x  - i

This simplifies to:

2i - 5i^2                           ^ = Exponent

This gives:

2i - 5 ( - 1 ) = 2i + 5

Hope This Helps

<u>3.4</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting all terms to multiples of 10³ :

  • 4 × 10² + 3 × 10³
  • 0.4 x 10³ + 3 x 10³
  • (0.4 + 3) × 10³

Those are the math questions I need the answers of ​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

1)

12\sqrt{18}-3\sqrt{50}+\sqrt{32}

12\sqrt{9}\sqrt{2}-3\sqrt{25}   \sqrt{2} +\sqrt{16} \sqrt{2}

12\times3\sqrt{2} -3\times5\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2}

36\sqrt{2}-15\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2}

25\sqrt{2}

2)

\frac{1}{5+2\sqrt{6}}

Multiply 5-2\sqrt{6}:

\frac{1\times \left(5-2\sqrt{6}\right)}{\left(5+2\sqrt{6}\right)\left(5-2\sqrt{6}\right)}

Apply Difference of Squares formula: (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

\frac{5-2\sqrt{6}}{5^2-\left(2\sqrt{6}\right)^2}

\frac{5-2\sqrt{6}}{25-2^2\left(\sqrt{6}\right)^2}

\frac{5-2\sqrt{6}}{25-4\times6}

\frac{5-2\sqrt{6}}{1}

{5-2\sqrt{6}}

a = 5, b = -2
