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

Answer:

The first option is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the slope AC is evaluated as

$m_1 = \frac{b-0}{a- (-c)}$

$m_1 = \frac{b}{a+c}$

And the slope of line CB is mathematically evaluated as

$m_2 = \frac{0-b}{c-a}$

$m_2 = \frac{b}{c-a}$

Now for lines that are perpendicular to each other then the product of their slope should be equal to -1

So if $m ZC$ $= 90^o$

Then

$m_ *m_2 = -1$

i,e

$[\frac{b}{a+ c} ] [\frac{b}{a-c} ] = -1$
