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.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<h2>Recessive to </h2>

Explanation:

1. As given here, both parents are black, and their 247 progeny out of 333 are black, it  clearly indicates that 3/4 progeny is parental phenotype and 1/4 is different type.

2. This clearly show that both parents are heretogyzous, one allele is dominant and one is recessive.

3. Here black is dominant over blue.

4. Dominant allele express them-self in dominant homogyzous as well as heterogyzous condition.
