The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial equation of nth degree has n roots (distinct or coincident).
So if one root is already known (5+3i), then there is exact one other root for a total of 2 for a quadratic equation (degree 2).

Furthermore, assuming the coefficients of the quadratic equation are real, then any complex root is accompanied by its complex conjugate, meaning that the sum of the two roots is a real number.

For example, the complex conjugate of 5+3i is 5-3i, because 5+3i + 5-3i = 10, a real number.

So the (only) other root is 5-3i, namely the complex conjugate of the given root.

The graph will be such that it will not touch or cross the x-axis, since the roots are complex.

Answer:

The equation is quadratic. Based on the fundamental theorem of algebra, we know it must have two roots. Because complex roots come in conjugate pairs, the other root must be 5 − 3i. Because the quadratic equation has two complex solutions, its graph will never cross the x-axis.

If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 5, find x when y = 42.
Lorico [155]

Answer: 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

varies directly means: \frac{y}{x} = k

Step 1: solve for k   ⇒  \frac{21}{5} = k

Step 2: plug in the given value and k to solve for the missing value: \frac{42}{x} = \frac{21}{5}

42(5) = 21(x)

\frac{42(5)}{21} = \frac{21(x)}{21}

2(5) = x

10  = x
