Explain how to graph 5/2 on the number line

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: divide 5 by 2; 2 will go into five 2 times with a remainder of 1. This means the whole number portion of the mixed number is 2, and the remainder of the fraction is 1; this gives us 2 1/2. To plot 2 1/2, plot a point halfway between 2 and 3.

If alpha and beta are the zeroes of the polynomial 6x2+x-2 find the value og alpha/beta + beta/alpha

castortr0y [4]

$6x^2+x-2=6x^2+4x-3x-2=2x(3x+2)-1(3x+2)\\\\=(3x+2)(2x-1)\\\\3x+2=0\to x=-\frac{2}{3}\\\\2x-1=0\to x=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha=-\frac{2}{3};\ \beta=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{-\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{2}{3}}=-\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{3}{4}\\\\=-\frac{16}{12}-\frac{9}{12}=-\frac{25}{12}=-2\frac{1}{12}$

$use\ Vieta's\ formula:\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{\alpha^2+2\alpha\beta+\beta^2-2\alpha\beta}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\beta}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2}{\alpha\beta}-2\\\\\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a};\ \alpha\beta=\frac{c}{a}\\\\\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2}{\alpha\beta}-2=\frac{\left(\frac{-b}{a}\right)^2}{\frac{c}{a}}-2=\frac{b^2}{a^2}\cdot\frac{a}{c}-2=\frac{b^2}{ac}-2$

$6x^2+x-2\\\\a=6;\ b=1;\ c=-2\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{1^2}{6\cdot(-2)}-2=\frac{1}{-12}-2=-2\frac{1}{12}$

Find f-1(x), if f(x) = 3x – 6. Justify your

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 1/3 (x + 6)

Explanation: given f(x) = 3x - 6.
Let y = f(x) and so y = 3x - 6.
Trade places between x and y.
x = 3y - 6
Solve for y
x + 6 = 3y
y = x + 6/3
Now the new y is the inverse and so y = f-1(x)
f-1(x) = 1/3(x + 6)
