Question 4 Which of the following expressions is the conjugate of a complex number with −6 as the real part and −5i as the imaginary part? 6 + 5i 6 − 5i −6 − 5i −6 + 5i Question 5 Simplify 81 to the negative 3 fourths power −27 negative 1 over 27 27 1 over 27 Question 6 Find the solution of three times the square root of the quantity of x plus 5 equals negative 9 x = 4; not extraneous x = 4; extraneous x = 0; extraneous x = 0; not extraneous
@phi
For the conjugate, you simply change the sign of the imaginary part : conj(-6-5i) = -6 +5i
do you know 5 or 6?
\[81 = 3^{4} so (3^{4})^{-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }}=3^{-3}=\frac{ 1 }{ 27 }\]
6?
@math&ing001
\[3\sqrt{x+5}=-9 so \sqrt{x+5}=(-3)^{2}=9 so x=4\]
is it not extraneous or extraneous?
@math&ing001
To know if it's extraneous or not, plug it in the first equation and see if it checks.
no it doesn't
so which one would it be?
So it's extraneous
