First, some defintions
reciprocals are like a/b and b/a or 5/1 and 1/5
remember,

john's fraction is reciprocal of sarah's
john=a/b
sarah=b/a
david multiplies his by sarah and gets 12/35
(b/a)(david)=12/35
multplies his number by john and gets 12/35
(a/b)(david)=15/7
hmmm
(b/a)(david)=12/35 and
(a/b)(david)=15/7
if we divide them then we do





square root both sides

therefor
b=2 and a=5
john's number is a/b=5/2
sarah's number is 2/5
david, hmm
sarah times david=12/35
2/5 times david=12/35
times both sides by 5/2
david=60/70
david=6/7
check other
john times david=15/7
5/2 times 6/7=15/7
30/14=15/7
15/7=15/7
true
sarah's favorite number is 2/5
john's favorite number is 5/2
david's favorite number is 6/7
Answer:
x+1 , x<-1
x²-bx-4 , -1≤x≤4
1/2 x +a
substitute x=-1 , continuous everywhere
x+1=x²-bx-4 when x=-1
-1+1=-1²-b-4
<h2>1+b-4=0 ⇒ +b-3 ⇒ b=3</h2>
then for :
x²-bx-4=1/2 x +a for x=4
4²-4b-4=1/2x+a
16-4(3)-4=4/2+a
16-12-4-2=a
<h2>a=-2</h2>
the equations will be :
x+1
x²-3x-4
1/2x-2
I hope this help
Answer:
4^15
Step-by-step explanation:
We multiply both exponents 3 and 5
So we get:
4^15
Hope this helps
Good Luck
A = b is given to us
Multiply both sides by c to get
a = b
a*c = b*c
The rule to multiply both sides by c is the multiplicative property of equality
Then on the right side, replace c with d. This replacement is possible due to the fact that c = d. This is using the substitution property.
So we go from
a*c = b*c
to this
a*c = b*d
