10x+2y=18
10x-7y=-18
Multiply the second one by -1
-10x+7y=18
Then add the two equations
10x+2y=18
+-10x+7y=18
----------------
9y=36
y=4

Plug that back into one of the equations above and solve for x
10x+2y=18
10x+2(4)=18
10x+8=18
10x=10
x=1

so your answer is x=1 and y=4 or (1,4)

If neither a nor b are equal to zero, which answer most accurately describes the product of (a + bi)(a - bi)?

Scrat [10]

Answer: the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that neither a nor b are equal to zero.

We are to select the correct statement that accurately describes the following product :

$P=(a+bi)(a-bi)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We will be using the following formula :

$(x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2.$

From product (i), we get

$P\\\\=(a+bi)(a-bi)\\\\=a^2-(bi)^2\\\\=a^2-b^2i^2\\\\=a^2-b^2\times (-1)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }i^2=-1]\\\\=a^2+b^2.$

So, there is no imaginary part in the given product.

Thus, the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Can someone help me with this question

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any prism or cylinder for that matter, you can find the volume by multiplying the area of the base times the height. So this problem just becomes simple algebra.

B * h = V

25 * h = 80

h = 80/25

h = 3.2

If you don't get why it's the area of the base let me know and I can try to explain it.
