Answer:

10x . . . . . (Note the sign of the middle term is negative. 10x goes in the box.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two roots is ...

... (5 -3i) +(5 +3i) = 10

In a quadratic with leading coefficient 1, the coefficient of the 1st-degree term is the opposite of the sum of the roots. Here, that means the middle term is -10x. The minus sign is given, so the answer is 10x.

How Do We Know?

When "a" and "b" are roots of a quadratic in x, it has factors (x -a)(x -b). The product of those two factors is ...

... (x -a)(x -b) = x² -(a+b)x +ab

Here, that means the product of the factors (5 -3i)(5 +3i) is ab = 34, which it is. Their sum is (a+b) = 10, so the x-term is -(a+b)x = -10x.

Simplify 2√2-√3 --------------- √2+√3

serious [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$= \frac{2 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{2 \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} }$

$= \frac{ 2( \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3} )}{ { \sqrt{2} }^{2} - { \sqrt{3} }^{2} }$

$= \frac{2(2 - \sqrt{6} - \sqrt{6} - 3) }{2 - 3}$

$= \frac{2( - 1 - 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}$

$= \frac{ - 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}$

$= 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )$

$= 2 + 4 \sqrt{6}$
