Answer:

B. –6i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots come in pairs.  The pairs are complex conjugates.  If you have a+bi, then you will have a-bi

Since we have 6i,  the other root must be -6i

Answer:

-6i

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots always come in pairs, and those pairs are made up of a positive and a negative version. If 6i is a root, then its negative value, -6i, is also a root.

If you want to know the reasoning, it's along these lines: to even get a complex/imaginary root, we take the square root of a negative value. When you take the square root of any value, your answer is always "plus or minus" whatever the value is. The same thing holds for complex roots. In this case, the polynomial function likely factored to f(x) = (x+8)(x-1)(x^2+36). To solve that equation, you set every factor equal to zero and solve for the x's.

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

x^2 + 36 = 0

x^2 = -36 ... take the square root of both sides to get x alone

x = √-36 ... square root of an imaginary number produces the usual square root and an "i"

x = ±6i

Perry currently has $180 dollars and is spending $6 per day nick has no money but is earning $8 each day after how many days wil
Delvig [45]

Answer:

After 12.86 days Nick and Perry will have the same amount of money

Step-by-step explanation:

Perrie's can be expressed as;

Total amount Perry will have after t days=Initial amount Perry has-Total amount Perry spends

where;

Initial amount that Perry has=$180

Total amount Perry spends=Amount he spends per day×Number of days=(6×t)=6t

Replacing in the expression;

Total amount Perry will have after t days=(180-6t)

Nick's can be expressed as;

Total amount Nick will have after t days=Initial amount Perry has+Total amount Nick earns

where;

Initial amount that Nick has=$0

Total amount Nick earns=Amount he earns per day×Number of days=(8×t)=8t

Replacing in the expression;

Total amount Nick will have after t days=(0-8t)=8t

Equating Total amount Nick will have after t days to Total amount Perry will have after t days;

180-6t=8t

180=(8t+6t)

14t=180

t=(180/14)=12.86 days

After 12.86 days Nick and Perry will have the same amount of money
