Answer:  the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that neither a nor b are  equal to zero.

We are to select the correct statement that accurately describes the following product :

P=(a+bi)(a-bi)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following formula :

(x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2.

From product (i), we get

P\\\\=(a+bi)(a-bi)\\\\=a^2-(bi)^2\\\\=a^2-b^2i^2\\\\=a^2-b^2\times (-1)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }i^2=-1]\\\\=a^2+b^2.

So, there is no imaginary part in the given product.

Thus, the correct option is

(D) The imaginary part is zero.

Answer:

The highest rate of birds is during the years 4 to 3

(remember that the lowest digit of number of negative is the highest and the highest is the lowest)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of Changes:

1 to 2: 5080.86 - 5238/ 2 - 1

=  -157.14/1

= (convert to decimal) -157.1

2 to 3: 4928.43 - 5080.86/ 3 - 2

= -152.43/ 1

= -152.43

3 to 4: 4780.58 - 4928.43/ 4 - 3

= -147.85/ 1

= -147.85

The areas of two similar triangles have a ratio of 16:49. What is the ratio of their perimeters?
evablogger [386]
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of perimeters (or any linear measure). Then the ratio of perimeters is the square root of the ratio of areas:
.. √(16/49) = 4/7

Selection D is appropriate.
