The product of a <em>complex</em> number and its conjugate is (a + i b) · (a - i b), where a and b are <em>real</em> numbers, and the result for the <em>complex</em> number 2 + i 3 is 13.

<h3>What is the multiplication of a complex number and its conjugate</h3>

Let be a <em>complex</em> number a + i b, whose conjugate is a - i b. Where a and b are <em>real</em> numbers. The product of these two numbers is:

(a + i b) · (a - i b)

Then, we proceed to obtain the result by some algebraic handling:

a · (a + i b) + (- i b) · (a + i b)

a² + i a · b - i a · b - i² b²

a² - i² b²

a² + b²

If we know that a = 2 and b = 3, then the product of the complex number and its conjugate is:

$z\cdot \bar z = 2^{2} + 3^{2}$

$z\cdot \bar z = 13$

Debby pays rent twice a year, buys groceries once every quarter, and buys a transit pass

Natasha2012 [34]

<h3>Answer: 2x+4y+12z (choice B)</h3>

Work Shown:

x = amount of rent paid per half year

2x = amount of rent paid annually

y = amount spent on groceries per quarter

4y = amount spent on groceries annually

z = amount spent on a transit pass monthly

12z = amount spent on transit pass annually

2x+4y+12z = total amount of money spent annually
