If it's a larger exponent, that's not practical, so use DeMoivre's Theorem.

Magnitude+=+sqrt%283%5E2+%2B+2%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2813%29
Angle = arctan(-2/3)
sin(A) = -2/sqrt(13)
cos(A) = 3/sqrt(13)
----
--> z = sqrt(13)*cis(A)
z^6 = (sqrt(13))^6*cis(6A)
= 13^3*cis(6A)
= 2197*(-0.92626 + i*0.37688)
= -2035 + 828i

how do I solve than graph?Is there a graph calculator I can plug into?
y=1/2x+5
y=6x-6
-----------
To solve:
Both RH sides = y, so the equal each other.
(1/2)x + 5 = 6x - 6
x + 10 = 12x - 12
11x = 22
x = 2
-------
y = 6
============
To graph: They're straight lines, so you need 2 points.
y=1/2x+5
Pick 2 values for x and find y
x = 0, y = 5 --> (0,5)
x = 6, y = 8 --> (6,8)
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
-----
Do the same for the other one.

Solve by using quadratic formula:

-------
r%5E2+%2B+8r+-+48+=+16
r%5E2+%2B+8r+-+64+=+0
-------
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B8x%2B-64+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%288%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-64=320.

Discriminant d=320 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-8%2B-sqrt%28+320+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%288%29%2Bsqrt%28+320+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+4.94427190999916
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%288%29-sqrt%28+320+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-12.9442719099992

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B8x%2B-64 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B8x%2B-64+=+%28x-4.94427190999916%29%2A%28x--12.9442719099992%29
Again, the answer is: 4.94427190999916, -12.9442719099992. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B8%2Ax%2B-64+%29

---------------
Avg speed for the round trip = 2*4.5*3.5/(4.5 + 3.5)
= 31.5/8 km/hr
RT distance = r*t = 31.5/8 * (2/3) hr = 21/8 km
--> 21/16 km each way.
--------------------------
a) How many minutes did Elda take to walk from her home to Niabi's house?
t = d/r = (21/16)/4.5 = 21/72 hours
= 7/24 hours
--------------
b) How far is it from Elda's home to Niabi's house?
--> 21/16 km each way.
