<span>The expression simplified by Donte is:
</span><span><span />
4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i) = –4 + 8i

And the set of options are:

What mistake did Donte make?
A.He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i).
B.He did not distribute the subtraction sign correctly for 8 – 5i.
C.He added the real number and coefficient of i in 4(1 + 3i).
D.He added the two complex numbers instead of subtracted. </span>

Answer: option A: he did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i)

Explanation:

The correct application leads to: 4*1 + 4*3i = 4 + 12i

If you, incorrectly, make 4*1 + 3i, then you get 4 + 3i, and when you subtract (8 - 5i) you get:

4 + 3i - (8 - 5i) = 4 + 3i - 8 + 5i = - 4 + 8i which is what Donte obtained..

Therefore, he applied the distrituvie property incorrectly for 4(1 + 3i)

A new car is purchased for 15300 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 14.25% per year. What will the value of the car be
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

\$6,082.70  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$15,300\\r=14.25\%=0.1425\\x=6\ years

substitute in the formula

V=15,300(1-0.1425)^{6}  

V=15,300(0.8575)^{6}  

V=\$6,082.70

A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make bread. She uses 2 1/4 cups of flour to make each loaf. The baker sells 2/3 of the loav
ollegr [7]

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

→ A baker uses 13\frac{1}{2} cups of flour to make bread

→ She uses 2\frac{1}{4} cups of flour to make each loaf

From these information we can find the number of loaves of bread

she can make

∵ There are 13\frac{1}{2} cups of flour

∵ Each loaf of bread needs 2\frac{1}{4} cups of flour

∴ The number of loaves = 13\frac{1}{2} ÷ 2\frac{1}{4}

To divide two mixed numbers make them improper fractions and

change the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal the

fraction after the division sign

∵ 13\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(13)(2)+1}{2}

∴ 13\frac{1}{2} = \frac{27}{2}

∵ 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{(2)(4)+1}{4}

∴ 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}

∴ The number of loaves = \frac{27}{2} × \frac{4}{9}

∴ The number of loaves = 6

<em>She can make 6 loaves</em>

→ The baker sells \frac{2}{3} of the loaves of bread that she makes

→ We need to find the number of loves of bread she sells

∵ She sells \frac{2}{3} of the loaves

∵ There are 6 loves

∴ The number of loaves she sells = 6 × \frac{2}{3} = 4

<em>She sells 4 loaves of bread</em>

Exercise 6.12 presents the results of a poll where 48% of 331 Americans who decide to not go to college do so because they canno
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

As per given , we have

\hat{p}=0.48   , n=331

Critical value for 90% Confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

a) Confidence interval :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

0.48\pm (1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.48(1-0.48)}{331}}\\\\\approx 0.48\pm0.02746\\\\=(0.48-0.02746,\ 0.48+0.02746)\\\\=(0.45254,\ 0.50746)

Hence, a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot a ord it : (0.45254,\ 0.50746)

b) Margin of error : E=1.5%=0.015

Formula for sample size : n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

For p =0.48 , we  have

n=0.48(1-0.48)(\dfrac{1.645}{0.015})^2=3001.88373333\approx3002

Hence, the required sample size to survey = 3002
