Answer:

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1

-3/5 * what =1

Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction

-3/5 * what *5 = 1*5

-3 * what = 5

Divide by -3 to isolate what

-3*what /-3 = 5/-3

what = -5/3

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

A function f defined by f(x) = x² + px + q is such that f(3) = 6 and f¹(3) = 0. Find the value of q.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

q = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + px + q , then

f(3) = 3² + 3p + q = 6 , that is

9 + 3p + q = 6 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3p + q = - 3 → (1)

---------------------------------------

f'(x) = 2x + p , then

f'(3) = 2(3) + p = 0, that is

6 + p = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

p = - 6

Substitute p = - 6 into (1)

3(- 6) + q = - 3

- 18 + q = - 3 ( add 18 to both sides )

q = 15

A ship goes at the rate of (3m-2) knots per hour. How far can it travel in (4m+9) hours?

Ber [7]

Answer: $12m^2+19m-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Speed of boat $v=3m-2\ \text{knots per hour}$

$\text{time t= }4m+9\ \text{hours}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Distance =speed}\times \text{time}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Distance d=}(3m-2)\cdot (4m+9)\\\Rightarrow d=12m^2+19m-18$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

$(8 * 10) + ( 2 * \frac{1}{100} ) + ( 9 * \frac{1}{1000} )$

⇒ 80 + ( 2 * 0.01 ) + ( 9 * 0.001 )

⇒ 80 + 0.02 + 0.009

= 80.029
