A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. Typically, we use a single letter to represent a variable. The letters x, y, and z are common generic symbols used for variables. Sometimes, we will choose a letter that reminds us of the quantity it represents, such as t for time, v for voltage,b for bacteria

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of 10i, a difference of -4 and a product of -29
HACTEHA [7]

Let these two numbers be z and w. Their sum is 10i, their difference is -4, and their product is -29:

z+w=10i

z-w=-4

zw=-29

Add the first two equations together to eliminate w:

(z+w)+(z-w)=10i-4\implies 2z=-4+10i\implies z=-2+5i

Then

w=10i-z\implies w=10i-(-2+5i)=2+5i

Just to confirm this is correct, check their product:

(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4+25i^2=-4-25=-29
