z= ((3+4i)(12-5i))/(2+i) a. |z| ? b. Re (z) and Im (z)?

Expanding the numerator

z=+%28%283%2B4i%29%2812-5i%29%29%2F%282%2Bi%29=%2836-15i%2B48i-20i%5E2%29%2F%282%2Bi%29+

z=%2856%2B33i%29%2F%282%2Bi%29=%28%2856%2B33i%29%282-i%29%29%2F%282%5E2%2B1%5E2%29

z=%28112-56i%2B66i-33i%5E2%29%2F5=%28145%2B10i%29%2F5

z=29%2B2i 



abs%28z%29=sqrt%2829%5E2%2B2%5E2%29=13sqrt%285%29     Re%28z%29=29   Im%28z%29=2

In OPQ, o = 870 inches, P = 80 degrees, and Q = 9 degrees. Find the length of p to the nearest 10th of an inch.

We'll denote the measure of angle X as
m%28X%29
In any triangle the sum of the angles is 180 degrees, so
m%28P%29%2Bm%28Q%29%2Bm%28O%29=180
so we know
m%28O%29=180-%28m%28P%29%2Bm%28Q%29%29=180-89=91
Now using the Law of Sines we write:

%0D%0Ap%2Fsin%2880%29=%28870%29%2F%28sin%2891%29%29%0D%0A

which leads to
p=856.9

The function f(x)=2x/3x-5 is one-to-one. find its inverse and check your answer


To find the inverse we can solve for x to convert it to the dependent variable:
y=%28+2x+%29%2F%283x-5%29
%283x-5%29y=+2x+

3xy-5y=+2x+

3xy-2x=++5y

x%283y-2%29=++5y

x=++%285y%29%2F%283y-2%29
Once their roles have reversed, the resulting expression is the inverse:
g%28x%29=%285x%29%2F%283x-2%29
To check we take the two appropriate inverses to see if they each recover the input (i.e. x).

Checking...
f%28g%28x%29%29=%282%28%285x%29%2F%283x-2%29%29%29%2F%283%28%285x%29%2F%283x-2%29%29-5%29




f%28g%28x%29%29=%28%2810x%29%2F%283x-2%29%29%2A%28%283x-2%29%2F%2815x-15x%2B10%29%29=x

If $1000 is invested in an account paying 12% annually compounded continously, how long will it take to double the investment?


For continuous compounding we use:

F=P%2Ae%5E%28r%2At%29
so we can write:

2=e%5E%280.12%2At%29

taking the natural log of both sides leads to

ln%282%29=0.12%2At

so time is about 5.78 years

solve the equation ln(x)- ln (x-3) = ln(5)

combining logs...
ln%28x%2F%28x-3%29%29=ln%285%29


raising e to both sides of the equation...
%0D%0Ax%2F%28x-3%29=5%0D%0A
which leads to...

x=5%28x-3%29
x=5x-15
4x=15
and so...

x=15%2F4

Write the expression in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. sqrt(-1)/( sqrt(-81)sqrt(-36))


sqrt%28-1%29%2F%28+sqrt%28-81%29sqrt%28-36%29%29=i%2F%289i%2A6i%29=-i%2F54

Solve: log(x+4) + log(x)=9



Combining into one log...


log%28%28%28x%2B4%29%28x%29%29%29=9

raise 10 to both sides of the equation...
x%5E2%2B4%2Ax=10%5E9

x%5E2%2B4%2Ax-1000000000=0
After solving we note that only positive numbers are solutions (Why?)

x%5B1%5D=-2+%2B+82%2A+sqrt%28148721%29

Solve: 2sec²θ+5tanθ=3


find reference angle for 215 degrees


+180+%3C+215+%3C+270++

so our angle is in Quad III
and so
theta%5Br%5D=215-180=35

Simplify: (sin(f+g)+sin(f-g))/(cos(f+g)+cos(f-g))


After expanding all 4 expressions using sum/difference identities we get:





which simplifies to...


%0D%0A%282%2Asin%28f%29%2Acos%28g%29%29%2F%282%2Acos%28f%29%2Acos%28g%29%29%0D%0A 


and then to...

How do i find the measure of each angle for tan B = 0.6000

use inverse tangent function:
tan+B+=+3%2F5
B=arctan%283%2F5%29+%2B+n%2Api 

Find the intercepts and asymptotes. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) r(x)=27/(x-3)^2

x-intercepts: Zeros only occur in the numerator so DNE
y-intercepts:
27/(-3)=-9
(0, -3)

VA:
x-3=0
x=3

HA:
as |x| --> oo
r --> 0
y=0

Triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle. AB is 12, AC is 6 and BC is 6 square root 3. Find arc BC.

These measures tell us that the triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse opposite the side AB and since we can see that arc BC is the arc of least measure, it must be 60 degrees

the cost of a telephone call is 5 pesos for the first three minutes and an additional of 2 pesos for each additional minute or fractional part thereof. find the cost of all call lasting: a) .5 min, b) 3 minutes, and c) 5 minutes

c(t)=5+2(t-3), t>3 


a) c(0.5)=5
b) c(3)=5
c) c(5)=5+2(5-3)=5+2(2)=9

How do you use the intermediate value theorem to show the polynomial function that has a zero in the given. [1.3, 1.9], f(x)= x^5-x^4+3x^3-4x^2-16x +15

f(1.3)=-5.112 (approx.)
f(1.9)=2.465 (approx.)
the theorem tells us that since there is a sign change for f on the interval there must be a zero on the interval
