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.

Write the linear equation is slope intercept form 5x-y=1/4
Lana71 [14]

Slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m= slope and b=y-intercept.

So, we need to convert the given equation in this form. For that simply solve the equation for y.

5x-y=\frac{1}{4}

-y=-5x+\frac{1}{4} Subtract 5x from each sides.

y=5x-\frac{1}{4} Multiply each sides by -1.

So, slope intercept frm is y=5x-\frac{1}{4}

The Wolfpack has won 11 games and lost 9 games this season. What percent of its games did the Wolfpack win?
defon
First, you need to find the total amount of games played by adding 11 and 9
11 + 9 = 20
Now you have to divide 11 by 20. If you wanted to find the percent of games lost, you would divide 9 by 20.
11 \div 20
answer: 55%
