... The complex number system enables us to take even roots of negative numbers by means of the imaginary unit i, which is equal to the square root of –1; that is i2 = -1 and i = 1 . By factoring –1 out of a negative expression, it becomes positive and an even root can be taken: -b = i b . Standard for ...

... Donkey Kong is competing in a shot-put challenge at the Olympics. His throw can be modeled by the function h(t) = -5t2 + 8.5t + 1.8, where h is the height, in metres, of a shot-put t seconds after it is thrown. Determine the remainder when h(t) is divided by (t – 1.4). What does this value represent ...
