<h3>Answer:   -i</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

i = sqrt(-1)

Lets list out the first few powers of i

  • i^0 = 1
  • i^1 = i
  • i^2 = -1
  • i^3 = i*i^2 = i*(-1) = -i
  • i^4 = (i^2)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1

By the time we reach the fourth power, we repeat the cycle over again (since i^0 is also equal to 1). The cycle is of length 4, which means we'll divide the exponent over 4 to find the remainder. Ignore the quotient. That remainder will determine if we go for i^0, i^1, i^2 or i^3.

For example, i^5 = i^1 because 5/4 leads to a remainder 1.

Another example: i^6 = i^2 since 6/4 = 1 remainder 2

Again, we only care about the remainder to find out which bin we land on.

-------------

Turning to the question your teacher gave you, we have,

739/4 = 184 remainder 3

So i^739 = i^3 = -i

<h3>-i is the final answer</h3>

--------------

Side notes:

  • if i^a = i^b, then a-b is a multiple of 4
  • Recall that the divisibility by 4 trick involves looking at the last two digits of the number. So i^739 is identical to i^39.

What is v29?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Please read explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

By direct calculations, we know that the nearest perfect square to 29 is 25

The next is 36;

Hence, since 29 is between 25 and 36; it is only proper that the square root of 29 is also between the square roots of both numbers

So, we can conclude that the square root is between 5 and 6

For actual values by calculating, we have this as 5.38 which to the nearest number is 5.4

so, we have the dot at the next 4 small lines after the number 5

Suppose that the percentage change in demand is 10%, the price elasticity of demand is 1, and the price elasticity of supply is
maria [59]

Answer: 3.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

The percentage change in equilibrium price = (percentage change in demand) / (Ed + Es) * 100%

The given parameters are:

Percentage change in demand = 10% = 0.1

Ed (Price elasticity in demand) = 1

Es (Price elasticity in supply) = 2

Therefore, substituting the given parameters into the formula above,

Percentage change in equilibrium price = 0.1/(1+2) * 100%

= 0.1/3 * 100%

= 0.03333 * 100%

= 3.33%

This means that the percentage change in equilibrium price will be 3.33% when the change in demand is 10%.
