Determine the value of base x if (211)x = (6A)16

1 answer:

4 0

$211_x=2x^2+x+1$
$6A_{16}=106_{10}$

$\implies 2x^2+x+1=106\iff 2x^2+x-105=(x-7)(2x+15)=0$

This has two solutions, $x=7$ and $x=-\dfrac{15}2$ .

Trigonometric question, 30 points, will give brainliest.

hmmm first off let's convert the √3 +i to trigonometric form, and then use De Moivre's root theorem, bearing in mind that √3 and i or 1i are both positive, meaning we're on the I Quadrant.

$\bf (\stackrel{a}{\sqrt{3}}~,~\stackrel{b}{1i})\qquad \begin{cases} r=&\sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2+1^2}\\ &\sqrt{3+1}\\ &2\\ \theta =&tan^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\\\\ &tan^{-1}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \right)\\ &\frac{\pi }{6} \end{cases}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill 2\left[ cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right) +i~sin\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right) \right]$

$\bf ~\dotfill\\\\ \qquad \textit{power of two complex numbers} \\\\\ [\quad r[cos(\theta)+isin(\theta)]\quad ]^n\implies r^n[cos(n\cdot \theta)+isin(n\cdot \theta)] \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \left[ 2\left[ cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right) +i~sin\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right) \right] \right]^3\implies 2^3\left[ cos\left( 3\cdot \frac{\pi }{6}\right) +i~sin\left( 3\cdot \frac{\pi }{6}\right) \right] \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill 8\left[cos\left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right) +i~sin\left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right) \right]~\hfill$
