Answer:

67

Step-by-step explanation: Given the quadratic equation $z^2 + bz + c = 0$, Vieta's formulas tell us the sum of the roots is $-b$, and the product of the roots is $c$. Thus,

\[-b = (-7 + 2i) + (-7 - 2i) = -14,\]so $b = 14.$

Also,

\[c = (-7 + 2i)(-7 - 2i) = (-7)^2 - (2i)^2 = 49 + 4 = 53.\]Therefore, we have $b+c = \boxed{67}$.

There are many other solutions to this problem. You might have started with the factored form $(z - (-7 + 2i))(z - (-7 - 2i)),$ or even thought about the quadratic formula.

This is the aops answer :)

Compare the fraction 1:24,000 to the fraction 1:3,168,000; which is the largest rational number
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\frac{1}{24,000}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator

In this problem we have

\frac{1}{24,000}  and   \frac{1}{3,168,000}

Both numerator are equal

Compare the denominators

24,000 < 3,168,000

therefore

\frac{1}{24,000}  is the largest rational number
