Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

REcall that f(x) is a polynomial whose one of its roots is -3+i. The fundamental algebra theorem states that any polynomial of degree n has n complex roots. In the real case, it can be also interpreted as any polynomial can be factored in factors of degree at most 2.

Consider that given a polynomial of degree 2 of the form ax^2+bx+c the solutions are given by

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, the fact that x is real or complex depends on the number b^2-4ac which is called the discriminant. When this number is negative, we have that x is a complex root. Let say that b^4-4ac and that \sqrt[]{b^4-4ac}=di, so the roots are given by

x_1 = \frac{-b + di}{2a}, x_2 = x_1 = \frac{-b - di}{2a}

this means that, whenever we have a complex root, the other root is the complex conjugate. Recall that the complex conjugate of a complex number of the form a+bi is obtained by changing the sign of the imaginary part, that is a-bi.

So, in our case since -3+i is a root, then -3-i necessarily is another root.

Decrease 40 by 15%<br><br> please explain how you got your answer too :)
Anit [1.1K]
So 10 % of 40 is 4
5% of 40 is 2
so 15% is 6
then you have to do 40-6
and then you get the answer of 34

Find the volume of the following compound shape.<br>​
Bess [88]
<h3>Given:</h3>
  • Cone
  • Cylinder
<h3>Volume of the cone:</h3>

v =  \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2} h

v =  \frac{1}{3}  \times \pi \times  {10}^{2}  \times 10

v = 1047.20 \:  {cm}^{3}

<h3>Volume of the cylinder:</h3>

v = \pi {r}^{2} h

v = \pi \times  {10}^{2}  \times 10

v = 3141.59 \:  {cm}^{3}

<h3>Total volume:</h3>

v = 1047.20 + 3141.59

v = 4188.79 \:  {cm}^{3}

<u>Hence</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>volume</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>given</u><u> </u><u>cone</u><u> </u><u>shape</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4188.7</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>cubic</u><u> </u><u>centimeters</u><u>.</u>
