400 Answer from Math
What is 94 + 2i ?
Solution for Multiply 7 – 4i and 10 + 6i(7 – 4i)(10 + 6i)70 + 42i-40i – 24i2
70 + 2i – 24i2
500 Question from Math
Solve the system of equations:y = x2 – 5x + 1x + y + 2 = 0
500 Answer from MathWhat is (x + 4)(x – 1) = 0 ?
or What is x2 – 4x + 3 = 0?
solution:y = x2 – 5x + 1-y = x + 2
0 = x2 – 4x + 3
