Answer:

it must also have the root : - 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial is expressed with real coefficients (which must be the case if it is a function f(x) in the Real coordinate system), then if it has a complex root "a+bi", it must also have for root the conjugate of that complex root.

This is because in order to render a polynomial with Real coefficients, the binomial factor  (x - (a+bi)) originated using the complex root would be able to eliminate the imaginary unit, only when multiplied by the binomial factor generated by its conjugate: (x - (a-bi)). This is shown below:

(x-(a+bi))*(x-(a-bi))=\\(x-a-bi)*(x-a+bi)=\\([x-a]-bi)*([x-a]+bi)=\\(x-a)^2-(bi)^2=\\(x-a)^2-b^2(-1)=\\(x-a)^2+b^2

where the imaginary unit has disappeared, making the expression real.

So in our case, a+bi is -6i (real part a=0, and imaginary part b=-6)

Then, the conjugate of this root would be: +6i, giving us the other complex root that also may be present in the real polynomial we are dealing with.

Use the subtraction property of equality to complete the following statement:

<span> 10x + 6 = 21
first subtract 6 from both sides of the equation
10x=15
so I believe the answer you are looking for is 10x=15

If you take this one step further and solve for x then you divide both sides of the equation by 10 so then the solution is x=1.5

Amy mixed together 2.4 gal. of Brand A fruit drink and 5.6 gal. of apple juice. Find the percent of fruit juice in Brand A if th
stellarik [79]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit punch has 2.4 gallons but x %

Apple juice has 5.6 gallons but 100 % or 1

The total mixture would then have 8 gallons and 82 %.

2.4+5.6=8

8×0.82 = 6.56

Then you would do 2.4x + 5.6(1) = 6.56

2.4x + 5.6 = 6.56

2.4x = 0.96

0.96/2.4 = 0.4 = 40%

Therefore, Brand A has 40% fruit juice
