<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.

Plsss help quick three question
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

1) A

2) min; min; max; max

3) y = x² + 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 2(x)(5) + 5² - 5² + 24

f(x) = (x + 5)² - 25 + 24

f(x) = (x + 5)² - 1

In ax² + bx + c,

if a > 0, it's a min

if a < 0, it's a max

y = ax² + bx + c

Using (0,-3)

-3 = a(0)² + b(0) + c

c = -3

y = ax² + bx - 3

Using (1,3)

3 = a + b - 3

a + b = 6

Using (-1,-7)

-7 = a(-1)² + b(-1) - 3

-7 + 3 = a - b

a - b = -4

b = a + 4

a + (a + 4) = 6

2a = 2

a = 1

b = 5

y = x² + 5x - 3

Please help with Volume
Archy [21]

Given:

Length of the cuboid tank = 4 m

Breadth = 2.5 m

Height = 2.4 m

One third of the tank is filled with water.

1 cubic meter = 1000 liters.

To find:

The quantity of the water in the tank.

Solution:

Volume of a cuboid is:

V=l\times b\times h

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is the height.

The volume of the tank is :

V=4\times 2.5\times 2.4

V=24

Volume of tank is 24 cubic meter.

One third of the tank is filled with water. So, the volume of the water is

\dfrac{24}{3}=8

The volume of water is 8 cubic meters.

We have,

1 cubic meter = 1000 liters.

8 cubic meter = 8000 liters.

Therefore, the quantity of the water in the tank is 8000 liters.
