Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.
Answer:
D. 158.4 km²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of sector = θ/360 * πr²
Where,
θ = 150°
r = 11 km
Substitute
Area = 150/360 * π * 11²
Area = 158.38863 ≈ 158.4 km² (nearest tenth)
Answer:
C) 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question:
We have 8 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 24 coins
Of those, 4 are nickels. So
The correct option is given by option C.
