I believe the answer is c
Answer:
x = 4 and y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
note that the product of a complex number and it's conjugate is real
That is
(a + bi)(a - bi) where a, b are real
= a² - abi + abi - b²i²
= a² + b² ← a real number
For (4 + 5i)(x + yi) to be real
we require (x + yi) to be the conjugate of 4 + 5i , that is 4 - 5i
(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i) ⇒ x = 4 and y = - 5
Simplify:
<span>1. Write the prime factorization of the radicand.</span> <span>2. Apply the product property of square roots. Write the radicand as a product, forming as many perfect square roots as possible. </span>
3. Simplify.
