Answer:

a^2+b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that (a+ib)(a-ib)

We are given that a and b are both not equal to zero

We have to find the product of (a+ib)(a-ib)

a(a-ib)+ib(a-ib)

a^2-iab+iba-i^2b^2

We know that i^2=-1

Substitute the value then we get

a^2-(-1)b^2

a^2+b^2

Hence, (a+ib)(a-ib)=a^2+b^2

Foil or distribute

(a+bi)(a-bi)
seems to be a difference of 2 perfect square factored
remember
a^2+b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

so
(a+bi)(a-bi)=(a)^2-(bi)^2
remember, i^2=-1
a^2-(-1b^2)
a^2+b^2

We know that Sum of Angles in a Triangle is Equal to 180°

Here EBF is a Triangle

⇒ m∠EBF + m∠BEF + m∠EFB = 180°

⇒ 60° + 40° + m∠EFB = 180°

⇒ 100° + m∠EFB = 180°

⇒ m∠EFB = 180° - 100°

⇒ m∠EFB = 80°

As Line m and Line p are Parallel Lines :

Alternate Interior Angles are Equal, here Alternate Interior Angles are m∠BEF and m∠ABE

⇒ m∠BEF = m∠ABE

⇒ m∠ABE = 40°

We know that Vertically Opposite Angles are Equal, Here m∠GFI and m∠EFB are Vertically Opposite Angles.

⇒ m∠GFI = m∠EFB

⇒ m∠GFI = 80°

We can notice that m∠DEB and m∠BEF form a Linear Pair

⇒ m∠DEB + m∠BEF = 180°

⇒ m∠DEB + 40° = 180°

⇒ m∠DEB = 180° - 40°

⇒ m∠DEB = 140°

We can notice that Sum of Angles m∠CBF and m∠EBF and m∠ABE is 180°

⇒ m∠CBF + m∠EBF + m∠ABE = 180°

⇒ m∠CBF + 60° + 40° = 180°

⇒ m∠CBF + 100° = 180°

⇒ m∠CBF = 180° - 100°

⇒ m∠CBF = 80°

We can notice that m∠BFG and m∠EFB form a Linear Pair

⇒ m∠BFG + m∠EFB = 180°

⇒ m∠BFG + 80° = 180°

⇒ m∠BFG = 180° - 80°

⇒ m∠BFG = 100°

We know that Vertically Opposite Angles are Equal, Here m∠BFG and m∠IFE are Vertically Opposite Angles.

⇒ m∠BFG = m∠IFE

⇒ m∠IFE = 100°

A student writes "the quotient of 5 and x" to describe the algebraic expression -
pashok25 [27]

For this case we have to:

\frac {a} {b} = c

Where:

a: It's the Dividend

b: It is the Divider

c: Is the Quotient

Thus, the expression "the quotient of 5 and x" can be represented as:

\frac {5} {x} = y

Where "y" is the quotient of 5 and x.

ANswer:

\frac {5} {x} = y
