Hello!
To solve this, you are trying to convert one side to a quadratic equation and the other to just 0. Then, solve the equation.
----
First, move the /2 to the other side of the equation.
(a+1)/2 = 1/a
a+1 = 2/a
Next, multiply both sides by a.
a+1 = 2/a

And then subtract both sides by 2. This will get you to a quadratic equation.


Now, factor the equation. When we're factoring, we are looking for the form (a + b)(a + c), where b + c must equal 1 (the coefficient of a) and b*c must equal -2. In this case, b = 2, and c = -1.
Therefore:

(a + 2)(a - 1) = 0
To get the answer, recall that anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0. Therefore, to get the left side to equal 0, either (a + 2) or (a - 1) must equal 0. To do this, a must either be -2 or 1.
Therefore, a = -2, or a = 1.

Check your work:
(-2 + 1)/2 = 1/-2
-1/2 = -1/2
(1 + 1)/2 = 1/1
2/2 = 1/1
1 = 1

Hope this helps!
Answer: you add 3+2 and that =5. There are 2 i. That is equal to 2i. Final answer: 5+2i
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows two parallel lines XY and WV.
1. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal XW, then angles YXZ and VWZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.
2. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal YV, then angles XYZ and WVZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.
AA similarity theorem states if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
So,
by AA similarity
Find the mean, median, mode, and range of this data: 49, 49, 54, 55, 52, 49, 55. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Zigmanuir [339]
The mean is the average.
So, to find the mean you want o add up all of the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
49 + 49 + 54 + 55 + 52 + 49 + 575 = 363
363 / 7 = 51.85
Rounded to 52
For the median you want o line all of your number up from least to greatest and then find the middle number.
49,49,49,52,54,55,55
Your median is 52
The mode is the number that is listed most often
49 is listed 3 times
54 is listed 1 time
52 is listed 1 time
55 is listed 2 times
So, your mode is 49
653 divided by 7= 93 2/7
456 divided by 4= 114
2354 divided by 9= 261 5/9
