Answer:

A. x=-15 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+6|+8=17

|x+6|=9

You know 4−3i is the complex conjugate of 4+3i. If you multiply the denominator of −2+5i4+3i by 4−3i, what will you get? Enter y

Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(-2 + 5i)/(4 + 3i)

Required

Multiply the denominator by 4 - 3i

The denominator of the fraction above is 4 + 3i

When multiplied by 4 - 3i, the result is as follows;.

Result = (4 + 3i)(4 - 3i)

Expand

Result = 4(4 - 3i) + 3i(4 - 3i)

Open both brackets (take it one at a time)

Result = 4 * 4 - 4 * 3i + 3i(4 - 3i)

Result = 16 - 12i + 3i(4 - 3i)

Open the second bracket

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 3i * 3i

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9i²

In complex numbers, i = √-1

i² = (√-1)²

i² = √-1 * √-1

i² = -1

The expression

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9i²

Becomes

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9(-1)

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i + 9

Collect like terms

Result = 16 + 9 + 12i - 12i

Result = 25 + 0

Result = 25

Hence, when the denominator of the fraction is multiplied by 4 - 3i, the result is 25

In a game, if you roll a 5 on a 6-sided number cube, you lose a turn. What is the probability that you roll a 5? Explain your re

WITCHER [35]

The probability of you rolling a 5 would be 1/6 since the cube has 6 sides and only one of the sides has a 5.

The probability that you either roll a 5 or do not roll a 5 would be 6/6 because 1/6, the probability you WILL roll a 5, and 5/6, the probability you WON'T roll a 5 added together is 6/6.

The probability that you don't roll a 5 is 5/6 because there are 5 sides of the dice that are not 5.
Hope that helped!

Please answer 2 and 3 !!

Usimov [2.4K]

(2) So we know Ethan uses 1/4 cup of milk for his cake. And if he needs to make 3 times the amount of 1 cake, he'll make 3 cakes today. So we multiply the amount of cakes (3) by the amount of milk needed (1/4)

3 * 1/4 = 3/4

Ethan will need 3/4 cups of milk.

(3) We know Isabella need's 2/5 of a gallon of the food to make 1 gallon.

She want's to make 5 gallons, so like the other problem, we multiply the amount of gallons (5) by the amount of food needed (2/5):

5 * 2/5 = 10/5 = 2/1.

Isabella will need 2 gallons of food.
