What’s the reciprocal of the number 1 1/2?

Mathematics

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reciprocal you first have to turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. (multiply denominator by whole number, then add the numerator, the denominator stays the same)

(1 x 2 )+ 1=3>>numerator | denominator stays the same>>2 | 3/2

Since the reciprocal is the number that you multiply by to get one, you can flip the numerator and denominator to get your reciprocal.

3/2>>2/3 ( the denominator came to the numerator, and the numerator came to the denominator)

2/3 is your reciprocal

To check your work, you can multiply the reciprocal and the regular number, if your answer is 1, then your reciprocal is correct. If your answer is anything else other than one, you may want to rethink your work.

correct reciprocal: 2/5 x 5/2 = 1

incorrect reciprocal: 2/5 x 6/2 = 5/6

elena55 [62]

Answer:

DOMAIN: (-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)

RANGE: (-\infty,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a graph is the span of x-values covered by the graph, while the range of a graph is the span of y-values covered by the graph.

DOMAIN:

From the graph, we can see that the x-values covers everything to the left of x=1. Then we stop and then continue beginning at x=2 all the way until positive infinity.

However, note that at x=1, the dot is a closed circle while at x=2, the dot is an open circle. Thus, we will include x=1 into our domain but not include x=2 into our domain.

So, our domain is all values greater than or less than 1, and all values greater than 2.

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)

We use brackets with the 1 because we include it in our domain and we use parentheses with the 2 since we do not.

RANGE:

Looking at the graph, it seems that all y-values are covered. The part of the graph on the left covers all y-values less than or equal to 3, while the part of the graph on the right covers all y-values greater than -1. Thus, all y-values are covered.

Our range is all real numbers.

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,\infty)

Since 4i is a root, that automatically means -4i is also a root (complex roots always travel in pairs) So the factored form would look like <span>(x+4i)(x−4i).</span> When multiplied out this gives the polynomial <span><span>x2</span>+<span>16.</span></span>
