2 Answers:

z = 1 + i   and   z = -1 - i

========================================================

Explanation:

We want z to be a complex number in the form z = a+bi, where a,b are real numbers and i = \sqrt{-1} is imaginary.

Let's plug that into the equation your teacher gave you

z^2 = 2i\\\\(a+bi)^2 = 2i\\\\(a+bi)(a+bi) = 2i\\\\a(a+bi)+bi(a+bi) = 2i\\\\a^2+abi+abi+b^2*i^2 = 2i\\\\a^2+2abi+b^2*(-1) = 2i\\\\a^2+2abi-b^2 = 2i\\\\(a^2-b^2)+2abi = 0+2i\\\\

You could use the FOIL rule to take a shortcut. I'm deciding to be a bit more wordy to show a further breakdown how everything is multiplying out.

Notice that the real part a^2-b^2 must be 0 so that it matches the real part on the right hand side.

a^2-b^2 = 0

(a-b)(a+b) = 0 .... difference of squares rule

a-b = 0 or a+b = 0

a = b or a = -b

So whatever solution z = a+bi is, it must have either a = b or a = -b.

--------------------------------

If a = b, then the 2abi portion on the left side turns into 2a^2*i

Set this equal to 2i on the right hand side and isolate 'a'

2a^2*i = 2i\\\\2a^2 = 2\\\\a^2 = 1\\\\a = 1 \text{ or } a = -1\\\\

So a = 1 leads to b = 1

Or a = -1 leads to b = -1

Two complex solutions so far are:   z = 1 + i   and   z = -1 - i  based on those two cases above.

--------------------------------

Now consider the case that a = -b

We'll effectively have the same steps as the previous section, but the equation to solve now is -2a^2*i = 2i\\\\

The only difference is that negative is out front. You should find that it leads to a^2 = -1, but this has no solutions because we stated earlier that a,b were real numbers.

So if a = -b, then it concludes with a,b being nonreal numbers. Ultimately we rule out the case that a = -b is possible.

Put another way, note how -2a^2 is always negative which clashes with the idea that the right hand side is positive (ignore the 'i' portions). This contradiction means that no real values of 'a' will make the equation -2a^2*i = 2i\\\\ to be true.

--------------------------------

To wrap things up, we only have two solutions and they are  

z = 1 + i   and   z = -1 - i

You can use a tool like WolframAlpha to confirm this.

Answer:

We can break this down:

The student has a one out of five chance of getting a correct answer, and a four out of five chance of an incorrect answer. We can express the students odds of getting one incorrect answer as 4/5. In order to get the odds of two wrong answers, we need to multiply this answer again by the odds of choosing a wrong answer. Therefore:

The odds of one wrong answer = 4/5

The odds of two wrong answers = (4/5) * (4/5) = 16/25 chance of getting both of the questions wrong.

the amount of Water and Electric Dishwasher uses to wash dishes varies directly with the number of loads of dishes the dishwashe
Neporo4naja [7]

It would be 80 gallons of water that the dishwasher will use to wash 10 loads of dishes. To figure this out you would need to divide 32 by 4 which would equal 8. You would do this to figure out how many gallons of water a dishwasher needs to wash 1 load of dishes. Then you would multiply 8 times 10 which would equal 80. Hope this helps you!
