lisov135 [29]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Lets say we have (-1)^(1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1)^(1.5) = (-1)^(3/2)

= (√(-1))^3 which has no solution in the real number field, as √(-1) does not exist.

In the complex number field √(-1) = i, and (-1)^(1.5) = i^3 = -i.

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to x - 2y = 6. Type your answer in the
san4es73 [151]
Rewrite the equation: 2y=x-6, y=x/2-3, so slope is 1/2 which is also the slope of the parallel line.
It will have the equation y=x/2+a where a is found by plugging in the given point: 4=-1+a, so a=5.
Therefore y=x/2+5. (This can also be written 2y=x+10 or x-2y+10=0)

Hey all you math geniuses can you help me with this question that should be easy
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(B) \frac{-3}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is the expression which consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication with any variables or constants but the division with a variable is not considered as a polynomial.

Since \frac{-3}{x} consists of division of -3 with a variable, therefore it is not a polynomial, rest all other options are polynomial as they involve addition,multiplication with variables.

Write the equation of the circle with the given graph.
lara [203]

By identifying the radius and the center, we concluded that the equation is something like:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1.5)^2 = 1.8^2

<h3></h3><h3>How to write the equation of the circle?</h3>

For a circle centered on the point (a, b) with a radius R, the equation is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

So first we need to identify the center, we can see that it is: (2, 1.5)

And the radius is the distance between the center and the edge.

R  = 1.8 (measured with a ruler, respecting the notation of the graph).

Then the equation of the circle is something like:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1.5)^2 = 1.8^2
