Question 189153: This question came from an exam paper in Australia:
Solve: z^2=3+5i
I presume that the question requires an answer in the form z = a + bi
I have tried, but I end up getting a square root of a square root for an exact answer, or approx. +1.1897 or -1.1897 for b and approx. +2.1013 or -2.1013 for a.
I obtained this by letting z = a + bi, and therefore z^2 = a^2 + 2abi -b^2, and therefore a^2 - b^2 equals 3, and 2ab equals 5, and then solving these two simultaneous equations.
Is there a simpler way, please?

Question 190322This question is from textbook algebra and trigonometry structure and method book 2
: This is not the right category i don't think but i really need help with this problem. I got the answer: x^2+x+1+(x^3/x^4-x^2+1 ) <-- (this is the remainder)
here is the problem:
x^6+x^5+x^3+x+1/x^4-x^2+1

I keep getting the remainder wrong. the book says that it should be 2x^3 instead of x^3. how?

Question 190905: Hello. I am not positive I put in the right topic. We are learning complex algebraic fractions. I solved a problem, and I am not sure if i solved it correctly, and if I did I am not sure how to show the work for the check. the problem is x-1/x + 7/3x = 9/4x
we have to cancel the denominators by finding an LCD and multiplying by that.
EX: LCD for the above problem is 12x, so i would x x-1 x 12x and the x and 12 x simplify it to 12x-12.
The answer i got is 11/12, but I am not sure if it is correct.
If not, please provide help on solving it because I am quite confused, and if you don't mind please assist me in the check (if the correct solution is a fraction because my teacher goes too fast and never stops so I am not able to ask for help)
thank you so much for your help :)
