Chapter 1: Problem 77

Perform the indicated operations and write the result in standard form. $$ \frac{8}{1+\frac{2}{i}} $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result in standard form is \( \frac{8}{5} - \frac{16}{5}i\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Conjugate

The conjugate of a complex number flips the sign between the two terms. So, the conjugate of \(1 + \frac{2}{i}\) is \(1 - \frac{2}{i}\).
02

Multiply the fraction by the conjugate

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate \(1 - \frac{2}{i}\). Hence, \(\frac{8}{1+\frac{2}{i}} \times \frac{1 - \frac{2}{i}}{1 - \frac{2}{i}}\).
03

Multiply the numerators and denominators

Multiply across the top and the bottom of the fraction. Hence, \(8 \times (1 - \frac{2}{i})\) gives \(8 - 16i\). And on calculating the denominator: \( (1 + \frac{2}{i})(1 - \frac{2}{i})\), we obtain '5'.
04

Divide each term by the denominator

Now divide each term in the numerator by '5' to obtain the standard form of the complex number: \( \frac{8}{5} - \frac{16}{5}i\).

A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. The machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 3 inches on a side from the corners and then shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. If each box must have a volume of 75 cubic inches, find the length and width of the open box.

Each group member should research one situation that provides two different pricing options. These can involve areas such as public transportation options (with or without discount passes), cellphone plans, long-distance telephone plans, or anything of interest. Be sure to bring in all the details for each option. At a second group meeting, select the two pricing situations that are most interesting and relevant. Using each situation, write a word problem about selecting the better of the two options. The word problem should be one that can be solved using a linear inequality. The group should turn in the two problems and their solutions.

If a quadratic equation has imaginary solutions, how is this shown on the graph of \(y=a x^{2}+b x+c ?\)

In a round-robin chess tournament, each player is paired with every other player once. The formula $$ N=\frac{x^{2}-x}{2} $$ models the number of chess games, \(N,\) that must be played in a round-robin tournament with \(x\) chess players. Use this formula to solve. In a round-robin chess tournament, 36 games were played. How many players were entered in the tournament?

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When I use the square root property to determine the length of a right triangle's side, I don't even bother to list the negative square root.
