One number is six times as large as another. The sum of their reciprocal is 7. What are the numbers

1 answer:

5 0

X=6y

sum of their reciprocals
(1/x)+(1/y)=7
x=6y
1/6y+1/y=7
1/6y+6/6y=7
7/6y=7
times both sides by 6y
7=42y
divide both sides by 42
1/6=y

x=6y
x=6(1/6)
x=6/6
x=1

the numbers are 1 and 1/6

Rewrite! Write an new and equivalent equation that is easier to solve

RUDIKE [14]

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - an equation in it's general form

To do - convert the given equation into a form that is easy to solve

Given equation -

$\bold{(x + 2) {}^{2} + 4(x + 2) - 5 = 0} \\$

solve the parenthesis so as to obtain simpler terms

$\bold{\implies \: ( x {}^{2} + 4x + 4 ) + 4x + 8 - 5 = 0}\\$

solve the like terms and you'll obtain the required equation !

$\bold{\implies \: x {}^{2} + 8x - 7 = 0}$

The numbers 45 28 53 form a pythagorean triple true or false

GarryVolchara [31]

You can verify this by plugging the numbers into the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side, in this case 53).

So it would be: $28^2 + 45^2 = 53^2$
The equation is true.
2809 = 2809

A contractor has installed a silt fence around an area that is semi-circular and level to prevent soil from the construction sit

monitta

We know is a semi-circle, so let us use the equation for the area of a circle instead, and then, half it
so, the diameter is 1100, meaning the radius is half that, or 550

so... $\textit{area of a circle}=\pi r^2\qquad r=radius=\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{1100}{2}=550
\\ \quad \\
\textit{area of a semi-circle}=\cfrac{\pi r^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{enclosed acres}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{circumference of a circle}=2\pi r
\\ \quad \\
\textit{circumference of a semi-circle}=\cfrac{2\pi r}{2}\impliedby \textit{linear feet of fence}$
