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

Find the lcd of the pair of expressions
STALIN [3.7K]

\frac{2}{7}  {x}^{10}  {y}^{4}  \: and \:  \frac{2}{14}  {x}^{8}  {y}^{7} \\ lcd = 14 {x}^{10}   {y}^{7}
Answer is
14 {x}^{10}  {y}^{7}

When it's powered numbers, remember to choose the one with the largest power. For example,
{x}^{10}
And
{x}^{8}
Choose 10, same goes to y, where you choose 7 not 4 since 7 is larger.

Hope this helps. - M

A shoreline observation post is located on a cliff such that the observer is 280 feet above sea level. The observer spots a ship
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) D/280 = tan(90 - 6)

   D = 280tan84 = 2,664 ft

b) D/280 = tan(90 - 16)

   D = 280tan74 = 976 ft

ship speed = (2664 - 976) / 43 = 39.2 ft/s

What is the value of x?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{BH}{DH}  =  \frac{HM}{HT}  \\  \frac{6}{15 + 6}  =  \frac{9}{9 + x}  \\  \frac{6}{21}  =  \frac{9}{9 + x}  \\ 6(9 + x) = 9 \times 21 \\ 54 + 6x = 189 \\ 6x = 189 - 54 \\  6x = 135 \\ x =  \frac{135}{6}  \\ x = 22.5
