Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let F be a field .Suppose $a\in F$ and $a\neq 0$

We have to prove that a has unique multiplicative inverse.

Suppose a has two inverses b and c

Then, $ac=1,ab=1$ where 1 =Multiplicative identity

$ac=ab$

$c=b$ (cancel a on both sides)

Hence, a has unique multiplicative inverse.

Renee is simplifying the expression (7) (StartFraction 13 over 29 EndFraction) (StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction). She recogni

dsp73

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .

The associative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=(a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

The commutative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=a\times c\times b=c\times a\times b$

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

The identity property of multiplication states that:

$a\times 1=a\\b\times 1=b$

So, Renee should use the commutative property of multiplication to find the product of 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ ,

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})=(7\times\frac{1}{7})\times\frac{13}{29}=\frac{13}{29}$

Thus, the correct option is commutative property.

Given that EF is a diameter of circle D, which of the following arcs must be a major arc?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Arc ECG is the major arc

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc ECG is made by an angle which is greater than 180°.

All the other arcs listed are made by angles which are 180° or less than.

The greater the angle measure the greater the arc length.

50 POINTS What are the values of a1 and r of the geometric series? 2 – 2 + 2 – 2 + 2

torisob [31]

Answer:

a1=2 and r=-1

Explanation:

"A geometric series is a series with a constant ratio between successive terms".

Here, we can observe that the first term 'a' is '2'.

And the common ratio 'r' =

Therefore, the first term 'a' is 2 and common ratio 'r' is '-1'.

A caterer is planning a large dinner party for 1001 guests. Each table must seat an equal number of guests, more than 1 guest a

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The prime factorization of 1001 is 7*11*13, so with the constraint that the tables seat between 2 and 19 guests, we can use tables that seat either 7, 11, or 13 guests.

For tables that seat 7, the caterer would need 11*13 = 143 tables.

For tables that seat 11, the caterer would need 7*13 = 91 tables.
