Answer:

a-bi


Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation lx^2+mx+n=0 has one imaginary root as a+bi then the other root is the conjugate of a+bi = a-bi

Because we have l, m and n are real numbers and they are the coefficients.

Sum of roots = a+bi + second root = -m/l

When -m/l is real because the ratio of two real numbers, left side also has to be real.

Since bi is one imaginary term already there other root should have -bi in it so that the sum becomes real.

i.e. other root will be of the form c-bi for some real c.

Now product of roots = (a+bi)(c-bi) = n/l

Since right side is real, left side also must be real.

i.e.imaginary part =0

bi(a-c) =0

Or a =c

i.e. other root c-bi = a-bi

Hence proved.

A hot tub that holds 300 gallons of water drains at a rate of 8 gallons write an equation that represents how many gallons of wa
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:the number of gallons of water left in the tub after it has drained for x minutes is 300 - 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot tub that holds 300 gallons of water drains at a rate of 8 gallons.

Let x represent the number of minutes for which the hot tub has drained water.

If the hot tub drains 8 gallons of water per minute, it means that in x minutes, the number of gallons of water that the hot tub would have drained is 8x

Therefore, the number of gallons of water left in the tub after it has drained for x minutes would be

300 - 8x
