Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The conjugate is found by changing the sign of the square root term.‡ (For this purpose, i = √-1.)
a) the sign of 3i is changed: 2 + 3i
b) the sign of sqrt(-5) is changed: 8 -sqrt(-5) = 8 -i√5
c) the sign of 2i is changed: 7 +2i
d) the sign of sqrt(7) is changed: 4 +√7
_____
‡ Actually, the conjugate of a binomial is formed by changing the sign <em>between</em> terms. The purpose is to allow the product of the binomial and its conjugate to be the difference of squares.
Conventionally, the conjugate of a complex number is the value with the sign of the imaginary part reversed. That is why (-2i+7)* = 7+2i.
$11.25 because 10 times 1.125 is equal to 11.25
247 is the correct answer!
