I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The values of x and y that would make the expression to represent a real number would be that <span> x = 4, y = –5. Substituting and simplifying,

</span><span>(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i)
</span>16 - 20i + 20i - 25i²
16 - 25(-1)
16 +25

x = 4, y = -5

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This is a problem with complex numbers.

A complex number is a number of the form \boxed{ \ z = x + yi \ } where x and y are both real  numbers.

  • x is considered the real part of the complex  number.
  • y is considered the imaginary part of the complex  number.
  • The real part of a complex number \boxed{ \ z = x + yi \ } is denoted by \boxed{ \ Re(z) \ }.
  • The imaginary part of a complex number is denoted by \boxed{ \ Im(z) \ }.
  • The modulus of a complex number \boxed{ \ z = x + yi \ } is denoted by \boxed{ \ |z| \ } and defined to  be \boxed{ \ |z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \ }
  • Remember this \boxed{ \ i^2 = (\sqrt{-1})^2 = -1 \ }

For example, \boxed{ \ z = 3 - 4i \ }

  • Re(z) = 3
  • Im(z) = -4
  • The modulus \boxed{ \ |z| = \sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2} = 5 \ }  

Let's look at the key problem.

We must identify the values of x and y that would make the following expression represent a real number.

\boxed{ \ = (4 + 5i)(x + yi) \ }

\boxed{ \ = 4(x + yi) + 5i(x + yi) \ }

\boxed{ \ = 4x + 4yi + 5xi + 5yi^2 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 4x + 4yi + 5xi - 5y \ }

At this point, 4yi and 5xi must be of equal value and marked opposite, so that the expression represents real numbers.

\boxed{ \ 4y = - 5x \ }

Become a fraction, i.e.,

\boxed{ \ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{-4}{5} \ or \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{-5} \ }

From the options, the answer is C.

\boxed{ \ x = 4, y = -5 \ }

- - - - - - -

Let's check back to expression.

\boxed{ \ = (4 + 5i)(x + yi) \ }

\boxed{ \ = 4x + 4yi + 5xi - 5y \ }

x = 4 dan y = - 5 ⇒ \boxed{ \ = 4(4) + 4(-5)i + 5(4)i - 5(-5) \ }

\boxed{ \ = 16 + -20i + 20i + 25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 16 + 25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 16 + 25 \ }

Thus the expression represent a real number of 41.

PLEASE HELP!!!!<br> How does the FDA regulate the animals?
Gnoma [55]

Whenever a new drug, device, or food, is developed for use in animals, It has to be approved by the FDA before it can be sold and marketed to the public.

Don't use the exact words, I copied it from an FDA website so change the wording first before you submit. Good luck Lol.

What happens when a lineage splits into two or more lines of descent
kupik [55]

Answer;

B. Speciation

Explanation;

-Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.

-The demands of a different environment or the characteristics of the members of the new group will differentiate the new species from their ancestors.

-An example of speciation is the Galápagos finch. Different species of these birds live on different islands in the Galápagos archipelago, located in the Pacific Ocean off South America. The finches are isolated from one another by the ocean.

A woman with an x-linked dominant disorder mates with a phenotypically normal male. on average, what percentage of this couple's
alex41 [277]
E. 0%

X-linked dominant disorders are not very common in females because it has to be on BOTH of their alleles in order to occur phenotypically.

Because you get one chromosome from your mom and another one from your dad, it would be impossible for the daughter to get the disorder because the dad doesn’t have it on his X chromosome to pass on to her.

In the case of the daughter, the focus is whether or not the dad has the disorder, the mom isn’t as relevant. However, if you were talking about a son, it would be a different story.

Hope this helps :)
