1/b-1/a = 1/c-1/b [ since they are in arithmetic progress]
1/b+1/b = 1/c+1/a
2/b = (a+c)/ac
2ac = b(a+c)
2ac/(a+c) =b

The cost of a mobile phone processor is directly proportional to its speed.

kompoz [17]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the formula used in calculating direct proportion which is equal to:

y = kx

where,

x = speed of a processor in GHz

y = the cost in pounds

Therefore, y = kx

500 = 2k

Therefore, y = 2k

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{3} + 3x + 1 = 1 = = = > \\ {x}^{3} + 3x = 0 = = = > \\ x({x}^{2} + 3) = 0 \\ x = 0 \: or \\ {x}^{2} + 3 = 0 = = = > \\ {x}^{2} = - 3 = = = > x 1= \sqrt{ - 3} \: or \: i \sqrt{3} \\ x2 = - \sqrt{ - 3} = = = > x2 = - i \sqrt{3}$

${x}^{3} + 3x + 1 = 5 = = = > \\ {x}^{3} + 3x - 4 = = = > \\ (x - 1)( {x}^{2} + x + 4) = 0 = = = > \\ x - 1 = 0 = = > x1 = 1 \\ {x}^{2} + x + 4 = 0 = = = > \\ x2 = - 1 + i \sqrt{3} \\ x3 = - 1 - i \sqrt{3}$

${x}^{3} + 3x + 1 = 3 = = = > \\{ x}^{3} + 3x - 2 = 0 = = = > x = 0.6$
