Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the arithmetic sequence with a4=-1 and a6=-13

first: find the difference: an=a+(n-1)d

a4=-1

that means a1+d(4-1)=-1 ( since a4 given and need to find a1)

a1+3d=-1 first equation

a1+d(6-1)=-13 ( a6 is given)

a1+5d=-13 second equation

a1+3d=-1

a1+5d=-13 ( find a and d by subtraction)

a1+3d-a1-5d=-1-(-13)

2d=12

d=-12/2=-6 ( substitute d in the equation: a1+3d=-1)

difference =-6

a1=17

a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,....

the sequence is : 17,11,5,-1,-7,-13,.....

hope it works

An insurance adjuster processes the claims of six policy holders in an eight hour work day. The adjuster uses $5 in gasoline and
Bad White [126]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor productivity is is measured per hours.

Hence, the work he does [amount of claims] will be distributed amongst the amount of hours he works. The amount of dollar he uses <em>doesn't matter for labor productivity.</em>

<em />

Thus, his work is 6 claims. He does that is 8 hours. So claim/hr is:

6/8 = 0.75 claims per hour

Answer choice D is right.

Find the real numbers x and y if -3+ix^2y and x^2+y+4i are conjugate of each other. Pls solve with the steps
Firdavs [7]
ANSWER
x = ±1 and y = -4.
Either x = +1 or x = -1 will work

EXPLANATION
If -3 + ix²y and x² + y + 4i are complex conjugates, then one of them can be written in the form a + bi and the other in the form a - bi. In other words, between conjugates, the imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign (b and -b). The real parts are the same

For -3 + ix²y
⇒ real part: -3
⇒ imaginary part: x²y

For x² + y + 4i
⇒ real part: x² + y (since x, y are real numbers)
⇒ imaginary part: 4

Therefore, for the two expressions to be conjugates, we must satisfy the two conditions. 

Condition 1: Imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign. We can set the imaginary part of -3 + ix²y to be the negative imaginary part of x² + y + 4i so that the 

   x²y = -4 ... (I)

Condition 2: Real parts are the same

   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We have a system of equations since both conditions must be satisfied

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We can rearrange equation (II) so that we have

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)

Substituting into equation (I)

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x²(-3 - x²) = -4
   -3x² - x⁴ = -4
   x⁴ + 3x² - 4 = 0
   (x² + 4)(x² - 1) = 0
   (x² + 4)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

Therefore, x = ±1.
Leave alone (x² + 4) as it gives no real solutions.

Solve for y:

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)
   y = -3 - (±1)²
   y = -3 - 1
   y = -4

So x = ±1 and y = -4. We can confirm this results in conjugates by substituting into the expressions:

   -3 + ix²y 
   = -3 + i(±1)²(-4)
   = -3 - 4i

   x² + y + 4i
   = (±1)² - 4 + 4i
   = 1 - 4 + 4i
   = -3 + 4i

They result in conjugates
