( 3x+1 ) + ( 3+2x ) = y  every per mile is an "x" because you multiply those parts

Find the real numbers x and y if -3+ix^2y and x^2+y+4i are conjugate of each other. Pls solve with the steps
Firdavs [7]
ANSWER
x = ±1 and y = -4.
Either x = +1 or x = -1 will work

EXPLANATION
If -3 + ix²y and x² + y + 4i are complex conjugates, then one of them can be written in the form a + bi and the other in the form a - bi. In other words, between conjugates, the imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign (b and -b). The real parts are the same

For -3 + ix²y
⇒ real part: -3
⇒ imaginary part: x²y

For x² + y + 4i
⇒ real part: x² + y (since x, y are real numbers)
⇒ imaginary part: 4

Therefore, for the two expressions to be conjugates, we must satisfy the two conditions. 

Condition 1: Imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign. We can set the imaginary part of -3 + ix²y to be the negative imaginary part of x² + y + 4i so that the 

   x²y = -4 ... (I)

Condition 2: Real parts are the same

   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We have a system of equations since both conditions must be satisfied

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We can rearrange equation (II) so that we have

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)

Substituting into equation (I)

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x²(-3 - x²) = -4
   -3x² - x⁴ = -4
   x⁴ + 3x² - 4 = 0
   (x² + 4)(x² - 1) = 0
   (x² + 4)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

Therefore, x = ±1.
Leave alone (x² + 4) as it gives no real solutions.

Solve for y:

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)
   y = -3 - (±1)²
   y = -3 - 1
   y = -4

So x = ±1 and y = -4. We can confirm this results in conjugates by substituting into the expressions:

   -3 + ix²y 
   = -3 + i(±1)²(-4)
   = -3 - 4i

   x² + y + 4i
   = (±1)² - 4 + 4i
   = 1 - 4 + 4i
   = -3 + 4i

They result in conjugates

Can someone answer it please I really need help please I need it right now I was so frustrating please help and please show work
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

  2 1/4 yards above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint elevation is the average of the endpoint elevations, their sum divided by 2. When elevation is below sea level, it is represented by a negative number.

  (17 3/4 - 13 1/4)/2 = (4 2/4)/2 = 2 1/4 . . . yards above sea level

Find the function r that satisfies the given condition. r'(t) = (e^t, sin t, sec^2 t): r(0) = (2, 2, 2) r(t) = ()
lesantik [10]

Answer:

r(t) = (e^t +1, -cos(t) + 3, tan(t) + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A primitive of e^t is e^t+c, since r(0) has 2 in its first cooridnate, then

e^0+c = 2

1+c = 2

c = 1

Thus, the first coordinate of r(t) is e^t + 1.

A primitive of sin(t) is -cos(t) + c (remember that the derivate of cos(t) is -sin(t)). SInce r(0) in its second coordinate is 2, then

-cos(0)+c = 2

-1+c = 2

c = 3

Therefore, in the second coordinate r(t) is equal to -cos(t)+3.

Now, lets see the last coordinate.

A primitive of sec²(t) is tan(t)+c (you can check this by derivating tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) using the divition rule and the property that cos²(t)+sin²(t) = 1 for all t). Since in its third coordinate r(0) is also 2, then we have that

2 = tan(0)+c = sin(0)/cos(0) + c = 0/1 + c = 0

Thus, c = 2

As a consecuence, the third coordinate of r(t) is tan(t) + 2.

As a result, r(t) = (e^t +1, -cos(t) + 3, tan(t) + 2).
