True or false:
The set comprises only imaginary numbers.
False
True
False
Any even power of the imaginary unit is a real number. For example,
from the definition of as the principal square root of .
Also, from the Power of a Power Property,
Example Question #5142 : Algebra Ii
What is ?
or A intersect B means what A and B have in common.
In this case both A and B have the numbers 1, 9, and 11.
Example Question #12 : Number Sets
True or false:
The following set comprises only imaginary numbers:
False
True
True
To raise to the power of any positive integer, divide the integer by 4 and note the remainder. The correct power is given according to the table below.
Every element in the set is equal to raised to an odd-numbered power, so when each exponent is divided by 4, the remainder will be either 1 or 3. Therefore, each element is equal to either or . Consequently, the set includes only imaginary numbers.
Example Question #271 : Equations / Inequalities
Set A is composed of all multiples of 4 that are that are less than the square of 7. Set B includes all multiples of 6 that are greater than 0. How many numbers are found in both set A and set B?
Start by making a list of the multiples of 4 that are smaller than the square of 7. When 7 is squared, it equals 49; thus, we can compose the following list:
Next, make a list of all the multiples of 6 that are greater than 0. Since we are looking for shared multiples, stop after 48 because numbers greater than 48 will not be included in set A. The biggest multiple of 4 smaller that is less than 49 is 48; therefore, do not calculate multiples of 6 greater than 48.
Finally, count the number of multiples found in both sets. Both sets include the following numbers:
The correct answer is 4 numbers.
