Mathematics

Answer:

√

−

49

=

7

i

Explanation:

A square root of a number  

n

is a number  

x

such that  

x

2

=

n

Note that if  

x

is a Real number then  

x

2

≥

0

.

So any square root of  

−

49

is not a Real number.

In order to be able to take square roots of negative numbers, we need Complex numbers.

That's where the mysterious number  

i

comes into play. This is called the imaginary unit and has the property:

i

2

=

−

1

So  

i

is a square root of  

−

1

. Note that  

−

i

is also a square root of  

−

1

, since:

(

−

i

)

2

=

(

−

1

⋅

i

)

2

=

(

−

1

)

2

⋅

i

2

=

1

⋅

(

−

1

)

=

−

1

Then we find:

(

7

i

)

2

=

7

2

⋅

i

2

=

49

⋅

(

−

1

)

=

−

49

So  

7

i

is a square root of  

−

49

. Note that  

−

7

i

is also a square root of  

−

49

.

What do we mean by the square root of  

−

49

For positive values of  

n

, the square root is usually taken to mean the principal square root  

√

n

, which is the positive one.

For negative values of  

n

, the square roots are both multiples of  

i

, so neither positive nor negative, but we can define:

√

n

=

i

√

−

n

With this definition, the principal square root of  

−

49

is:

√

−

49

=

i

√

49

=

7

i

Footnote

The question remains: Where does  

i

come from?

It is possible to define Complex numbers formally, as pairs of Real numbers with rules for arithmetic like this:

(

a

,

b

)

+

(

c

,

d

)

=

(

a

+

c

,

b

+

d

)

(

a

,

b

)

⋅

(

c

,

d

)

=

(

a

c

−

b

d

,

a

b

+

c

d

)

These rules for addition and multiplication work as expected with commutativity, distributivity, etc.

Then Real numbers are just Complex numbers of the form  

(

a

,

0

)

and we find:

(

0

,

1

)

⋅

(

0

,

1

)

=

(

−

1

,

0

)

That is  

(

0

,

1

)

is a square root of  

(

−

1

,

0

)

Then we can define  

i

=

(

0

,

1

)

and:

(

a

,

b

)

=

a

(

1

,

0

)

+

b

(

0

,

1

)

=

a

+

b

i

First I will build the envelope. For this, I am using a rectangular piece of material 28m long and 12m wide. Out of this materia
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

3.728 cm²

90

Step-by-step explanation:

To built the envelope I am using a rectangular piece of material 28 m long and 12 m wide.  

Out of this material, I have to cut patches that are 1/12 the length and 2/15 the width of the whole material.

So, the length of the patches is 28 \times \frac{1}{12} = 2.33 m and the width of the patches is 12 \times \frac{2}{15} = 1.6 m.

Therefore, the area of the patches is (1.6 × 2.33) = 3.728 m² each. (Answer)

Now, the area of the rectangular piece of material is (28 × 12) = 336 m²

Hence, \frac{336}{3.728} = 90.37 ≈ 90 such patches can be made out of the whole material. (Answer)

Write the set of real numbers from - 10 through 10 in interval notation.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

1) (-10,10) - Greater than -10 and less than 10.

2) [-10, 10] - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than or equal to 10.

3) [-10, 10) - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than 10.

4) (-10, 10] Greater than -10 and less than or equal to 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four form of describing that set in interval notation, which presented below:

1) (-10,10) - Greater than -10 and less than 10.

2) [-10, 10] - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than or equal to 10.

3) [-10, 10) - Greater than or equal to -10 and less than 10.

4) (-10, 10] Greater than -10 and less than or equal to 10.

Write L if it is likely to happen and U if unlikely to happen.
maria [59]

Answer:

Probabilities

        Likely to happen (L)      Unlikely to happen (U)

a.      4/5                                 5/8

b.     3/5                                  3/8

c.     4/5                                  4/7

d.    0.3                                  0.09

e.    5/6 and 4/5                   2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities in Percentages:

a. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 5/8 = 62.5%

b. The probability of 3/8 = 37.5% and 3/5 = 60%

c. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 4/7 = 57%

d. The probability of 0.3 = 30% and 0.09 = 9%

e. The probability of 2/3 = 67% and 4/5 = 80% and 5/6 = 83%

b) To determine the relative values of the fractional probabilities, it is best to reduce them to their fractional or percentage terms.  When this is done, the relative sizes become obvious, and then, comparisons can be made.
