<h3>Answer:  B) 4 - 7i</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

When you have a quadratic in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a,b,c are real numbers, then a negative discriminant leads to having a pair of complex roots. The roots come in conjugate pairs meaning that p+qi is one root while p-qi is the other root. The p,q are real numbers.

In the case of 4+7i being one root, we have p = 4 and q = 7, since it matches with p+qi. The other root must be 4-7i since it matches with p-qi.

In short, we flip the plus to a minus when going from 4+7i to 4-7i. All of this applies when we have a,b,c as real numbers.

If we allowed a,b,c to be complex numbers, then the roots may not necessarily come in conjugate pairs.

Cherries $5 per pound and oranges per pound$2. He paid 18.00 for total weight which was 6 lbs how many pounds of cherries did Al
wel
Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6               ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18         ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6 
x = 6 - y 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

What is the total cost of a $12.60 item plus 7% sales tax?
Ulleksa [173]
To take a percent, move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left. 7% = 0.07

Then multiply:

12.60 • 0.07 = 0.88

12.60 + 0.88 = 13.48

The total cost is: $13.48

\sf{50 \: \% \: of \: 80}

To convert the percent into a fraction , divide it by 190 and remove the % symbol. Then , Simplify the fraction to its lowest term.

⇒\sf{ \frac{50}{100}  \times 80}

⇒\sf{ \frac{1}{2}  \times 80}

Divide 80 by 2

⇒\sf{40}

Hope I helped!

-9 - (18v - 5) = 2(7v - 16) - 3v​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

v = 28/29

Step-by-step explanation:

- 9 - (18v - 5) = 2(7v - 16) - 3v​

- 9 - 18v + 5 = 14v - 32 - 3v

- 18v - 14v + 3v = - 32 - 5 + 9

- 29v = - 28

v = -28 / -29

v = 28/29
