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

Mathematics

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

What is the reflection in the x-axis & what’s the reflection in line y=x?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

  a) (3, -4), (2, 4), (-5, -6)

  b) (4, 3), (-4, 2), (6, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reflection in the x-axis negates the y-coordinate:

  (x, y) ⇒ (x, -y)

  (3, 4) ⇒ (3, -4)

  (2, -4) ⇒ (2, 4)

  (-5, 6) ⇒ (-5, -6)

__

b) Reflection in the line y=x swaps the x- and y-coordinates:

  (x, y) ⇒ (y, x)

  (3, 4) ⇒ (4, 3)

  (2, -4) ⇒ (-4, 2)

  (-5, 6) ⇒ (6, -5)

Barbara is making candy bags with her birthday party she has 24 lollipops, 12 candy bars, and 42 pieces of gum she wants each ba
Arisa [49]
She can make about 5 bags and there will be 4 lollipops, 2 candy bars, and 7 pieces of gum in each bag.

So this is how to solve it:
Basically what you’re doing here is called finding the gcf, or greatest common factor. What you have to do is find what number can divide by 24, 12, and 42; so I chose 2.
After dividing all these numbers by two you get 12, 6, and 21.
3 can divide by all these numbers
After dividing by three you get 4(lollipops), 2(candy bars) and 7(pieces of gum)
Since you can not divide by one number for all of these numbers, 4, 2 and 7 are your final answers.

To find how many’s bags you can make, the answer is 5 since you divided by 2 and 3 and you add them together.

I hope I explained this well! Good luck :D

Which of the following accurately lists all discontinuities of the function below?
jeka94
Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -4
from the left f(-4) = 4
from the right f(-4) = (-4+2)² = (-2)² = 4
∴ The function is continues at -4
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -2
from the left f(-2) = </span></span><span><span>(-2+2)² = 0
</span>from the right f(-2) = -(1/2)*(-2)+1 = 2
∴ The function is jump discontinues at -2
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point 4
from the left f(4) = </span></span><span><span>-(1/2)*4+1 = -1
</span>from the right f(4) = -1
but there no equality in the equation so,
</span><span>∴ The function is discontinues at 4

The correct choice is the second
point </span>discontinuity at x = 4 and jump <span>discontinuity at x = -2</span>

What is the surface area of the<br> rectangular prism below?
Vikki [24]

To Find Surface Area:

So Surface area is found according to this equation SA=2lw+2lh+2hw

6and 1/2 times 2 is 13 that would be the 2 sides

then you do 3 times 6 1/2 which is 19 1/2, which is the top and bottom

finally you do 3 times 9 1/5 which is 27 3/5.

Now since 1/2 and 1/5 are not the same, we find the LCM or Least Common Multiple, which is 10 so 1/2 is multiplied by 5 which is 5/10 and 3/5 is multiplied by 2 which makes 6/10.

Adding 5/10 and 6/10 is 11/10 or 1 1/10

13+6+9=28

28+1 1/10 = 29 1/10

and finally because we did surface area it is 29 1/10 CM^2

__________________________________________________________

To Find Volume:

The Equation used to find volume is l*w*h

The Length is 6 1/2

Height is 9 1/5

width is 3

First, lets again convert the fractions

5/10 and 6/10

6 5/10 times 9 6/10 is 62.4

62.4 times 3 is 187.2

The .2 and be put into 2/10 or 1/5  so the FINAL answer is 187 1/5

Another way to check this is

6*9*3=162

1/5*1/2

Hope this helped :)
