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

A bell rings every 1/6 hour. assuming it just rang,how many times will it ring in the next 2/3 hour?
Paraphin [41]

1 hr = 60 min

1/6 hr = (60/6) min = 10 min

so the bell rings every 10 min. Since 1 hr = 60 min, this means that 2/3 of that is 40 min. So the bell will ring 4 times (divide 40 over 4) in the next 2/3 of an hour, which is the same as saying "the bell will ring 4 times in the next 40 minutes"

Answer: 4 times
