The solutions to
2x^2 - 10x + 13 = -6x^2 - 18x - 15
are a+bi and a-bi, where a and b are positive. What is a\cdot b?
First, let's simplify all like terms and bring all terms to one side.
We get the equation
2x2+2x+7=0
Now, using the quadratic equation, we finally get two answers. We find that we have
x=−12+√13⋅(12i)x=−12−√13⋅(12i)
Now we know what A and B are. We find that
a=−1/2;b=√132
Multiplying them toeghet, we finally come up with the answer.
We finally have
ab=−√134
Thus, our final answer is -sqrt(13)/4
Thanks! :)
