What is the multiplication inverse of 1/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
vitfil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

multiplicative inverse of 1/2 is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of a/b is b/a

Because \frac{a}{b} * \frac{b}{a} =1

To get multiplicative inverse of any fraction we take the reciprocal of that fraction

Multiplicative inverse of  \frac{1}{2} \ is \ \frac{2}{1}

2/1 or 2  are same

so multiplicative inverse of 1/2 is 2

Solve equation by using the quadratic formula.
Sati [7]

Answer: 1:  x=3, x=1

2:  x= -5

3:  There are 2 real solutions.

4:  There are 2 real solutions.

5:  There are no real solutions.

6.  There is 1 real solution.

7.  

8.  x= -6, x = -2

9.  x = -1/6, x=1

10.  

Explanation:

1.  The quadratic formula is

Substituting our known information we have:

2.  Rewriting the quadratic in standard form we have x²+10x-25=0. Substituting this into the quadratic formula gives us:

3.  The discriminant is b²-4ac.  For this problem, that is 20²-4(-4)(25)=400--400=800.  Since this is greater than 0, there are 2 real solutions.

4.  The discriminant in this problem is 7²-4(2)(-15)=49--120=49+120=169.  This is greater than 0, so there are 2 real solutions.

5.  The discriminant in this problem is 1²-4(-2)(-28)=1-224=-223.  Since this is less than 0, there are no real solutions.

6.  If the discriminant of a quadratic is 0, then by definition there is 1 real solution.

7.  Rewriting the quadratic we have 3x²-4x-2=0.  Using the quadratic formula we have:

8.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 12 that sum to 8.  6*2 = 12 and 6+2=8, so those are our factors.  This gives us:

(x+6)(x+2)=0

Using the zero product property we know that either x+6=0 or x+2=0.  Solving these equations we get x= -6 or x= -2.

9.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 6(-1)=-6 that sum to -5.  (-6)(1)=-6 and -6+1=-5, so this is how we "split up" the x term:

6x²-6x+1x-1=0

We group together the first two and the last two terms:

(6x²-6x)+(1x-1)=0

Factor the GCF out of each group.  In the first group, that is 6x:

6x(x-1)+(1x-1)=0

In the second group, the GCF is 1:

6x(x-1)+1(x-1)=0

Both terms have a factor of (x-1), so we can factor it out:

(x-1)(6x+1)=0

Using the zero product property, we know either x-1=0 or 6x+1=0.  Solving these equations we get x=1 or x=-1/6.

10.  Substituting our information into the quadratic formula we get:

Help please, I’m confused and could you please explain the best you can do I understand? Thank you so much if you decide to help
ElenaW [278]

A ray is basically a line that has a "fixed point" on one end (this would be represented by a shaded circle on one end) and the opposite end goes to infinity (this would be represented by an arrow). The first image below is an example of a ray.

When writing rays out you must write it like in the third image below. Note that there is a "ray" on top of the "letters". The letter that signifies the end point (In the example below this would be "A") is under the side that has NO arrow symbol, and the letter that signifies the continues end is under the side of the ray that HAS the arrow. In other words the "formula" for writing out rays is:

End point; infinite end

We must find four rays with the endpoint E. This means that the "fixed point" must be E and the other end must continue indefinitely.

In the second image below I have colored each ray with the end point E in a different color.

First we have the ray EA (I don't know how to make the ray symbol on here so just assume that above EA the arrow looks like so: --->)

Next is ray EG (again the symbol above EG is --->)

Next is the ray ED (symbol above ED is --->)

Finally EF is a ray with the end point E (symbol above EF is --->)

When looking at the answer choices the only two that even use the correct symbol is B and C.

The issue with option C is that the end point (E) doesn't come first when they wrote it out.

That makes the answer B!

Hope this helped!

What is 2 5/6 + 7/4 <br> A. 2 2/5<br> B. 3 1/5<br> C. 3 4/5<br> D. 4 7/12
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

2 5/6=2 10/12

7/4=1 3/4= 1 9/12

2 10/12+1 9/12= 4 7/12

you can just change the denominators to the same which is 12. Hope you appreciate it!
