The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10

Given f(x) = 3x^3+ kx – 11, and x – 1 is a factor of f(x), then what is the value<br> of k?

STatiana [176]

let's recall the remainder theorem.

we know that (x-1) is a factor, that means x -1 = 0 or x = 1.

since we know that (x-1) is a factor, then dividing the polynomial by it will give us a remainder of 0, which correlates with saying that f(1) = 0, in this case, so we can simply plug in "1" as the argument, knowing it gives 0.

$f(x)=3x^3+kx-11\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{0}{f(1)}=3(1)^3+k(1)-11\implies \stackrel{f(1)}{0}=3+k-11\implies 0=-8+k\implies 8=k$
