Mathematics

salantis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 4 and y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

note that the product of a complex number and it's conjugate is real

That is

(a + bi)(a - bi) where a, b are real

= a² - abi + abi - b²i²

= a² + b² ← a real number

For (4 + 5i)(x + yi) to be real

we require (x + yi) to be the conjugate of 4 + 5i , that is 4 - 5i

(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i) ⇒ x = 4 and y = - 5

From delta math:<br> Subtract -2x^2 + 3x - 9 from 8x^2 + 10x - 10
Leto [7]

Answer:

10x^2 + 7x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Build the expression in numerical form.

  • (8x^2 +10x - 10) - (-2x^2 + 3x - 9)

Step 2: Distribute the negative sign.

  • 8x^2 +10x -10 + (-1)(-2x^2) + (-1)(3x) + (-1)(-9)
  • 8x^2 + 10x - 10 + 2x^2 + (-3x) + 9  

Step 3: Combine like terms.

  • (8x^2 +2x^2) + (10x -3x) + (-10+9)
  • 10x^2 +7x -1

Therefore, the answer is 10x^2 + 7x -1.

Solve for x. 3^x−1=9^x+2 <br> Enter your answer in the box.
slava [35]

Answer:

-5 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)

Replace 9 with 3^2

3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)

We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied

a^b^c = a^(b*c)

3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)

When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same

x-1 = 2x+4

Subtract x from each side

x-x-1 =2x-x+4

-1 =x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-1-4 =x+4-4

-1-4 = x

-5 =x
