For what value of "a" will the product shown below have a purely imaginary value? (Show work please)

If you expand out the brackets you get this,

(4+5i)(a+2i) = 4a + (5a)i + 8i - 10

The -10 comes from 5i * 2i.
Squaring i becomes -1.

Let's group the real stuff together,
and imaginary separately,

(4a - 10) + (5a + 8)i

For this to be purely imaginary,
the real part needs to be zero.

Therefore 4a - 10 = 0

Solve for a.

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. Let theta be the angle between the top of the ladder and the wall and let be
IgorC [24]

Answer:

5 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the ladder. The relation between the angle and distance X is:

X = L * sin θ      the change of X will be:

dX/dt = L * cos θ    If we evaluate the expression when θ = π/3, we get the change of X:

dX/dt = 10 * cos(π/3)

dX/dt = 5 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert them both to improper equations.

2 3/4 = 11/4

1 3/4 = 7/4

Then add.

11/4 + 7/4 = 18/4

Then simplify.

18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4.5
