I agree only if you have even powers -- even negative ones.
1/i^2 = 1/-1 = - 1
i^0 also gives 1 So far no problem.
It is when you consider the odd numbers that you don't get 1 or -1
You get either -i or i
i^(4n + 1) = i
i^(4n - 1) = -i
Answer:
#3) 72; #4) 40,320; #5) 90.
Step-by-step explanation:
#3) The number of possible choices are found by multiplying the choices of flavors and the choices of toppings:
6*12=72.
#4) The ordering of 8 cards is a permutation, given by 8!=40,320.
#5) This is a permutation of 10 objects taken 2 at a time:
P(10,2) = 10!/(10-2)!=10!/8!=90.
P.S I had the same question once.
The function

describes a parabola with vertex = (5, 3).
The graph of the function is attached.
Answer:
y = 16x/65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines
EB and DC are parallel
The area of quadrilateral BCDE = xcm²
The area of triangle ABE = ycm²
Find attached the diagram from the above information.
In similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding angles are equal.
Also, the ratio of the area of the two triangles = square of ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = (DC/EB)²
Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = [(area of quadrilateral BCDE +
area of ∆ABE)]/(area of ∆ABE)
(x+y)/y = (DC/EB)²
(x+y)/y = (9/4)²
x+y = (81/16)y
x = (81/16)y - y
x = (81y - 16y)/16
x = 65y/16
Making y subject of formula
16x = 65y
y = 16x/65
An expression for y in terms of x:
y = 16x/65
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles by definition have 3 sides. If the sides are corresponding then it is beneficial to us if they are the same length as well. If all 3 sides in one triangle are equal in length to the corresponding sides in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent by SSS (side-side-side). This is the case for us. Side EC is corresponding and congruent to side AC; side CD is corresponding and congruent to side CB; side ED is corresponding and congruent to side AB.
