The square root of a a negative integer is imaginary.
It would still be a negative under a square root if you multiplied it by 2, therefor it will still be imaginary, or I’m assuming as your book calls it, undefined.
2•(sqrt-1) = 2sqrt-1
If you add a number to -1 itself, specifically 1 or greater it will become a positive number or 0 assuming you just add 1. In that case it would be defined.
-1 + 1 = 0
-1 + 2 = 1
If you add a number to the entire thing “sqrt-1” it will not be defined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1+ (sqrt-1)
If you subtract a number it will still have a negative under a square root, meaning it would be undefined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1 + (sqrt-1)
however if you subtract a negative number from -1 itself, you end up getting a positive number or zero. (Subtracting a negative number is adding because the negative signs cancel out).
-1 - -1 = 0
-1 - -2 = 1
If you squared it you would get -1, which is defined
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1
and if you cubed it, you would get a negative under a square root again, therefor it would be undefined.
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1 • sqrt-1 = -1(sqrt-1)
Sorry if this answer is confusing, I don’t have a scientific keyboard, I’ll get one soon.
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x is 16/7
the value of y is 8/7
Well if I did the right calculations... Kim is 24. The sister is age twelve! Hope I helped.
A. K+S=36
B. Well Simple Addition and Subtraction solves this easily. If you Add 12+12 it equals 24. It still needs to be larger so that Kim is twice as old as her little sister. So you Add another 12 which gives you 36. Or you can easily subtract 12 from it and that will also bring you to 24.
