P ( x ) has the given roots: ( i, 7 + 8 i ).
The complex roots of a polynomial P ( x ) with rational coefficients come in pair as:
a + b i and a - b i;
Additional roots are: - i, 7 - 8 i.
6(x+5)² + 5(x+5)-4 = 0
(x+5)(x+5) = x(x+5)+5(x+5) = x² + 5x + 5x + 25 = x² + 10x + 25
6(x²+10x+25) + 5(x+5) - 4 = 0
6x² + 60x + 150 + 5x + 25 - 4 = 0
6x² + 60x + 5x + 150 + 25 - 4 = 0
6x² + 65x + 171 = 0

Answer: Bridge is 21 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so after reading the question I already know that B (Bridget), A (Angad) and P (Paul) is 49 in the sum of age. I also know that B=A+5 and P=A-4. After that I can assume B=P+5+4. So now after we gather everything, the age of all of them is the same if we delete 5, 4, 4 (From B=P+5+4 and P=A-4). 49-5-4-4=36. So now lets assume they are all 12 (36/3=12). B is 5 years older so lets add 5 to B. B=17, A=12 and P=8. 8+12+17= 37. We now know that but 37 is 12 under 49, so lets add the average 12/3=4 so we add 4 to all of them. B=21 A=16 P=12. 21+16+12=49. So Bridge is 21 years old, Angad is 16 years old and Paul is 12 years old
