<u>We'll assume the quadratic equation has real coefficients</u>
Answer:
<em>The other solution is x=1-8</em><em>i</em><em>.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Complex Conjugate Root Theorem</u>
if P(x) is a polynomial in x with <em>real coefficients</em>, and a + bi is a root of P(x) with a and b real numbers, then its complex conjugate a − bi is also a root of P(x).
The question does not specify if the quadratic equation has real coefficients, but we will assume that.
Given x=1+8i is one solution of the equation, the complex conjugate root theorem guarantees that the other solution must be x=1-8i.
So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
X = tuna, y = BLT
x + y = 30
6x + 9y = 240
3y = 60
y = 20
x = 10
20 BLTs for $2.50, 10 tuna for $1.50
Answer:
They're not parallel, because 4x and 12x are not the same slope
