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)

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.

Answer: C. Measles

Explanation:

Measles is a contagious disease which is caused by the Rubeola virus. It is an airborne disease which spread easily through sneezes and coughs of the infected person. It may also caused due to direct contact with the nasal secretions. It can spread when people share a common living space and lack immunity to fight against the disease causing symptoms.

The symptoms include cough, inflamed eyes, red rashes all over the body and begins with fever.

On the basis of the above information, measles is the disease due to which the client must be placed in a respiratory isolation so as to prevent the infection to other people.

During metabolism the complete of one molecule of glucose results in a maximum yield if 38 molecules of
Bond [772]

During cellular respiration, which is a part of metabolism, one molecule of glucose produces a maximum yield of 38 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the energy form that cells use to function and has also been often called the "currency" of the cells.

The whole process begins with breakdown of food by the digestive system right down to their monomer units. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is carried by blood to all cells of the body.

Each cell takes in glucose and breaks it down through the respiration process that begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm which yields 2 ATP molecules, then onward into the mitochondria of the cell where Krebs cycle and electron transport chain processes generate 34 to 36 more molecules of ATP.
