Answer:

The correct option is C. 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have that the perimeter of a rectangle = (2·length) + (2·width)

⇒perimeter of a rectangle = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)]

⇒ 32 = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)] ⇒ 32 = (2x + 14) + (4x - 6)

⇒ 32 = 6x + 8 ⇒ 32 - 8 = 6x ⇒ 24= 6x ⇒ 24/6 = x ⇒ x = 4. ⇒ 3x= 12.

When you multiply a pair of conjugates you get a real number

marusya05 [52]

Answer: The complex conjugate has a very special property. Consider what happens when we multiply a complex number by its complex conjugate. We find that the answer is a purely real number it has no imaginary part. This always happens when a complex number is multiplied by its conjugate the result is real number.

Real numbers can be positive or negative, and include the number zero. They are called real numbers because they are not imaginary, which is a different system of numbers

Step-by-step explanation: Every complex number has a complex conjugate. The complex conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. For example, the conjugate of 3 + 15i is 3 - 15i, and the conjugate of 5 - 6i is 5 + 6i.
