Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The conjugate is found by changing the sign of the square root term.‡ (For this purpose, i = √-1.)
a) the sign of 3i is changed: 2 + 3i
b) the sign of sqrt(-5) is changed: 8 -sqrt(-5) = 8 -i√5
c) the sign of 2i is changed: 7 +2i
d) the sign of sqrt(7) is changed: 4 +√7
_____
‡ Actually, the conjugate of a binomial is formed by changing the sign <em>between</em> terms. The purpose is to allow the product of the binomial and its conjugate to be the difference of squares.
Conventionally, the conjugate of a complex number is the value with the sign of the imaginary part reversed. That is why (-2i+7)* = 7+2i.
From the question we know that Maria and Josie went to the movies and spent a total amount of money, which should be the price of the tickets added to the price of the snacks.
Knowing that the price of the snacks is $3.75 and the price of the tickets is t, it looks like all that is left is to assign a variable to the total amount of maney they spent at the movies and write out the equation.
If we let the total amount of money they spent be x, then x= t+3.75, whcih should be your answer!
