Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

Answer:
Therefore they are 734.106 miles apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that ,
Two ships have a harbor together. The angle between two ships is 135°40'. Each of two ships travel 402 miles.
It forms a isosceles triangle whose two sides are 402 miles and one angle is 135°40'. Since it is isosceles triangle then other two angles of the triangle is equal.
Let ∠B= 135°40', and AB = 402 miles , BC = 402 miles
Then the distance between the ships = AC
We know
The sum of all angles = 180°
⇒∠A+∠B+∠C=180°
⇒∠A+135°40'+∠C=180°
⇒2∠A= 180°- 135°40' [ since ∠A=∠C]
⇒2∠A=44°60'
⇒∠A= 22°30'
Again we know that,

Taking last two ratio,

Putting the value of BC , AC ,∠A,∠B


≈734.106 miles
Therefore they are 734.106 miles apart.
