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
1/12 of a pound.
you must use the reciprocal of 4, 1/4, then multiply. so 1/3*1/4= 1/12

Answer:
13.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use binomial probability:
P = nCr p^r q^(n-r)
where n is the number of trials,
r is the number of successes,
p is the probability of success,
and q is the probability of failure (1-p).
Here, n = 16, r = 2, p = 0.25, and q = 0.75.
P = ₁₆C₂ (0.25)² (0.75)¹⁶⁻²
P = 120 (0.25)² (0.75)¹⁴
P = 0.134
There is a 13.4% probability that exactly 2 students will withdraw.
