4.5 because 1/2 equals .5 and 4 equals for

We factor the denominators
Factor x^2 - 16
x^2 - 4^2
We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)
Replace it in the given equation

Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0
we have (x-4) and (x+4) in the denominator
We set the denominator =0 and solve for x
x-4 =0
Add 4 on both sides
x= 4
x+4=0
subtract 4 onboth side
so x= -4
Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4
The definition is pretty simple:

So, we only have to sum the expressions:

Answer:
- 0.5 + 2.985i
- 1 + 2.828i
- 1.5 + 2.598i
- 2 + 2.236i
Explanation:
Complex numbers have the general form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
Since, the numbers are neither purely imaginary nor purely real a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0.
The absolute value of a complex number is its distance to the origin (0,0), so you use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the absolute value. Calling it |C|, that is:
Then, the work consists in finding pairs (a,b) for which:
You can do it by setting any arbitrary value less than 3 to a or b and solving for the other:

I will use b =0.5, b = 1, b = 1.5, b = 2

Then, four distinct complex numbers that have an absolute value of 3 are:
- 0.5 + 2.985i
- 1 + 2.828i
- 1.5 + 2.598i
- 2 + 2.236i
A ratio is a one or more letter term
