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.

Mike sees 3 more fish than Chris. Chris sees 6 fish. How many fish does Mike see? It says use comparison bars. Thanks

Chris sees 6 fish.

Mike sees 3 more fish than Chris.

6 + 3 = 9

So on your bar, you have Chris's number of fish he saw, 6, and you have 3 being added to that on Mike's bar.

Help please!!!!!!! and thank you

Answer:

2.50000 or 2.5 or 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the number 250,000. you have to get the decimal between 1.00 and 10.00 to do this we are going to move the decimal over left one at a time.

25,000.0

2,500.00

250.000

25.0000                     25 is really close but not between 1 and 10 so were going to move the decimal one more time

2.50000

2.50000 is between 1 and 10 so its the anwser we are looking for.
