Answer:

c = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 1 + i into the equation

(1 + i)² - 2(1 + i) + c = 0 ← distribute left side

1 + 2i + i² - 2 - 2i + c = 0 ( note that i² = - 1 )

1 + 2i - 1 - 2 - 2i + c = 0 ← collect like terms on left

- 2 + c = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

c = 2

Answer:

c = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex solutions come in conjugate pairs so the other solution is 1 - i.

So we have:

(x - (1 + i)(x - (1 - i) = 0

(x - 1 - i)(x - 1 + i) = 0

x^2 - x + ix - x + 1 - i  -ix  +i - i^2 = 0

x^2  -2x  + 1 - i^2 = 0

x^2 - 2x + 1 + 1 = 0

x^2 - 2x + 2 = 0

c = 2.

What is the midpoint of h(7,10),x(5,-8)
Scorpion4ik [409]
See attachment

then we add 7 and 5 and divide that by 2, which gives you 6 (x-coordinate)
and add 10 and -8 and divide that by 2, which gives you 1 (y-coordinate)

the answer is (6, 1)

justification
so midpoint is basically the middle point of 2 points
that's why we have to add the two x coordinates first then divide it by 2
                               or add the two y coordinates then divide it by 2

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

\: z =  \frac{b - g}{d}

Step-by-step explanation:

b = dz + g \\ b - g = dz \\  \frac{b - g}{d}  = z \\ hence \: z =  \frac{b - g}{d}

a half of whats johns age was 4 years ago is equal to one third of what will be in 5 years time. how old is john now?
Leona [35]

Let x = John's age now

half of what johns age was 4 years ago: (1/2)(x-4)

is equal to one third of what it will be in 5 years time: (1/3)(x+5)

 

(1/2)(x-4) = (1/3)(x+5)

 

3(x-4) = 2(x+5)
