if a b 9 are in GP

b÷a = 9 ÷ b

b^2 = 9a

if a - 1 b 9 are in AP

2b = a+8

b = a+8÷2

substitute

b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a

(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a

a^2+16a+64 = 36a

a^2 -20a +64 =0

(a-16) (a-4) =0

a= 16 or a=4

when a=16 b= 12

when a=4 b= 6

Value of a and b are given above

Simplify x to the 1/3 power (x to the 1/2 power + 2x to the 2 power )
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

x^(5/6) + 4(x^(7/3))


Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify x to the 1/3 power MULTIPLIED BY (x to the 1/2 power + 2x to the 2 power )


Simplify x^(1/3) × (x^(1/2) + (2x)^2)

= x^(1/3)(x^(1/2)) + x^(1/3)((2x)^2)

= x^(1/3+1/2) + 4(x^(1/3+2))

= x^(5/6) + 4(x^(7/3))


x^(1/3) is y such that y^3 = x

(x^(1/3) × x^(1/3) × x^(1/3)) = x^(1/3+1/3+1/3) = x^1 = x


x^(1/2) = √2 = y such that y^2 = x

(2x)^2 = 4x^2

Find the inverse of the relation (-3,4), (-1,0), (6,0).
allochka39001 [22]

To find the inverse of a relation, we switch the x and y values in each point.

So the inverse would be {(4, -3), (0, -1), (0, 6).
