The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 41/20. Find the number. smaller value larger value

Natali [406]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x. Its reciprocal will be 1/x. According to given condition, we get :

$x+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{41}{20}\\\\\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}=\dfrac{41}{20}\\\\20x^2+20=41x\\\\20x^2-41x+20=0$

It is a quadratic equation. The values of x are :

$20x^2-25x - 16x+ 20 =0\\\\5x(4x - 5) -4( 4x - 5) = 0\\\\(5x-4)(4x-5)=0\\\\5x-4=0\ \text{and}\ (4x-5)=0\\\\x=\dfrac{4}{5}\ \text{and}\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}$

The smaller number is 4/5 and the larger number is 5/4.

Answer:

"the sum of the cube of 6x and 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that only the expression of 6x is being cubed, not the entire expression of (6x)³ + 2.

The first blank must apply to both these terms 6x and 2, so the word can't be cubed. Instead, because we're finding the sum of these two, the word should be "sum".

The second blank should apply to only the 6x because we've already described the relationship of 6x and 2. So, since we are cubing 6x, the word here should be "cube".

The final sentence should read:

"the sum of the cube of 6x and 2"
