Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=-4

15x+20y=-22

——————————

-5(3x+4y)=-5(-4) multiply 1st equation by -5 so you can eliminate the variables

-15x-20y=20. Modified 1st equation

15x+20y=-22. 2nd equation

0+0=-2. Added two equations together

since 0 does not equal -2, there is no solution.

Answer:

Future Value= $17,170.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly deposit (A)= $70

Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033

Number of periods (n)= 15*12= 180 months

<u>To calculate the future value (amount saved), we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {70*[(1.0033^180) - 1]} / 0.0033

FV= $17,170.12

You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake. How many sticks of butter for 16 cookies

Kay [80]

Answer: 2 sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement: You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake.

Using unitary method , the number of sticks of butter used to bake 1 cookie= $\dfrac{3}{24}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Then the number of sticks of butter used to bake 1 cookie= $\dfrac{1}{8}\times16=2$

Hence, the number of sticks of butter used to bake 16 cookies= 2

I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu

ra1l [238]

The imaginary unit $i$ belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by $\mathbb C$ . These numbers take the form $a+bi$ , where $a,b$ are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, $\mathbb R$ , is a subset of $\mathbb C$ , where each number in $\mathbb R$ can be obtained by taking $b=0$ and letting $a$ be any real number.

But any number in $\mathbb C$ with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes $i$ .

"is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because $2=2+0i$ .

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising $i$ to the $i$ -th power. Since $i=e^{i\pi/2}$ , we have

$i^i=\left(e^{i\pi/2}\right)^i=e^{i^2\pi/2}=e^{-\pi/2}\approx0.2079$
