41. Find the sum of ix2 ‒ (4 + 5i)x + 7 and 3x2 + (2 + 6i)x ‒ 8i.
ELECTRICITY Use the formula V = CI, where V is the voltage, C is the current, and I is
the impedance.
43. The current in a circuit is 2 + 4j amps, and the impedance is 3 ‒ j ohms. What is the voltage?
44. The voltage in a circuit is 24 ‒ 8j volts, and the impedance is 4 ‒ 2j ohms. What is the current?
45. CIRCUITS The impedance in one part of a series circuit is 1 + 3j ohms and the impedance in
another part of the circuit is 7 – 5j ohms. Add these complex numbers to find the total
impedance in the circuit.
c. Find the impedance in a standard European circuit if the current is 20i amps.
