Mathematics

Alexandra [31]2 years ago

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

i^{4n+2}

Using exponent properties:

=i^{4n}\cdot i^2

Rewriting:

=(i^4)^n\cdot i^2

Since i⁴ = 1 and i² = -1:

=(1)^n\cdot -1

1 to any power is still 1:

=1\cdot -1 = -1

Allie bought a 5-pound bag of trail mix. She gave 12 ounces of trail mix to Justin. Then she put the rest of the trail mix into
trapecia [35]
To solve this problem, you will first want to convert 5 pounds into ounces. To do this, first determine how many ounces is in 1 pound.

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so to convert 5 pounds into ounces, you simply have to multiply 5 × 16. This will give you 80 ounces total.

Allie give 12 ounces away, so you must first subtract 12 ounces from your total (80 ounces). 80 - 12 gives us 68 ounces.

Allie then divides the trail mix up into 4 ounce portions. To figure out how many small bags she can make, you simply divide your new total (68 ounces) by 4. 

68 ÷ 4 = 17

Allie made 17 small bags.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

  • a^2 + b^2 = c^2
  • 5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
  • 25 + 144 = c^2
  • c^2 = 169
  • 13

Note: This also happens to be a Pythagorean triple where all three numbers are integers. These can be memorized.
