X=6y

sum of their reciprocals
(1/x)+(1/y)=7
x=6y
1/6y+1/y=7
1/6y+6/6y=7
7/6y=7
times both sides by 6y
7=42y
divide both sides by 42
1/6=y

x=6y
x=6(1/6)
x=6/6
x=1

the numbers are 1 and 1/6

Two students, Carlos and Sophie, factored the trinomial -4x2 − 10x + 6. Sophie factored it as -2(2x − 1)(x + 3) and Carlos facto

damaskus [11]

Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the trinomial:

$-4x^2-10x + 6$

Factoring:

$-4x^2-10x + 6\\Taking\,\,-2\,\,common:\\-2(2x^2+5x-3)\\Now\,\,factoring:\\-2(2x^2+6x-x-3)\\-2(2x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\-2(2x-1)(x+3)$

So, the factored form of $-4x^2-10x + 6$ is $-2(2x-1)(x+3)$

So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.
