Answer:
The answer is b ($9.74)
Step-by-step explanation:
I got it right (:
We have to determine which value is equivalent to | f ( i ) | if the function is: f ( x ) = 1 - x. We know that for the complex number: z = a + b i , the absolute value is: | z | = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 ). In this case: | f ( i )| = | 1 - i |. So: a = 1, b = - 1. | f ( i ) | = sqrt ( 1^2 + ( - 1 )^2) = sqrt ( 1 + 1 ) = sqrt ( 2 ). Answer: <span>C. sqrt( 2 )</span>
Notice that

so the constraint is a set of two lines,

and only the first line passes through the first quadrant.
The distance between any point
in the plane is
, but we know that
and
share the same critical points, so we need only worry about minimizing
. The Lagrangian for this problem is then

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)



We have

which tells us that

so that
is a critical point. The Hessian for the target function
is

which is positive definite for all
, so the critical point is the site of a minimum. The minimum distance itself (which we don't seem to care about for this problem, but we might as well state it) is
.
The answer is 27 because not only does it refer to the number line sequence it doesn't actually mean a big number comes behind it. what ever it starts with,it multiplies the same pass the big number
