Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3/x=5/y
3y/x=5
y/x=5/3
Xy = -109i
We could find the value of i by substitute the algebraic form of x and y to the equation above
xy = -109i
(10 - 3i)(3 - 10i) = -109i
(10)(3) -3i(3) + 10(-10i) - 3i(-10i) = -109i
30 - 9i - 100i -30i² = -109i
multiply both side by -1
-30 + 9i + 100i + 30i² = 109i
30i² + 9i + 100i - 109i - 30 = 0
30i² - 30 = 0
30i² = 30
i² = 1
i = -1 or i = 1
Then find the value of x and y if i = -1
If i = -1, therefore
x = 10 - 3(-1)
x = 10 + 3
x = 13
y = (3 - 10i)
y = 3 - 10(-1)
y = 3 + 10
y = 13
x/y = 13/13 = 1
Then find the value of x and y if i = 1
x = 10 - 3(1)
x = 10 - 3
x = 7
y = (3 - 10i)
y = 3 - 10(1)
y = 3 - 10
y = -7
x/y = 7/-7 = -1
The value of x/y is either 1 or -1
the correct question in the attached figure<span>
we know that
</span>the probability
that a witness picks a particular person by chance-----> P=1/5
the probability
that all 7 witnesses would pick the same person-----> P=1/5^7=0.0000128
the answer is the option B 0.0000128
<span>There are a variety of problems in which the number of witnesses change, for example
</span><span>....find the probability that all
9 witnesses would pick the same person
</span>in this case, the probability would be-------> P=1/5^9=0.000000512<span>
</span>
This one is just some simple division, an example in the lesson is this question exact but with different numerical values. It is 14.5%, which doesn't make much sense with the context.
The answer is B, 14.5%! Feel free to ask further questions about this topic!
