Answer:

Given that:

a = (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} and a+= (\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

if a , a+ commutator, it obeys aa^+ = a^+a

First find:

aa^+ = (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} (\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

                = (\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}=(\frac{(x)^2+(p)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}

Now;

a^+a =(\frac{x-ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} (\frac{x+ip}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} = (\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}

              =(\frac{(x)^2-(ip)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}=(\frac{(x)^2+(p)^2}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}

therefore, aa^+ = a^+a which implies the operators a and a+ are commutators.

Which fractions are greater than -5/16 ?
AlladinOne [14]
-5/16 

Our choices:-

A.-3/8
 
 
 B.-11/12
 
 
 C.-1/4
 
 
<span> D.-1/8
</span>
Let us get all of them with a LCD

-1*2 = -2
8*2 = 16

-2/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-11/12 is bigger than -5/16 because half of 16 is 8.

-1*4 = -4
4*4= 16

-4/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-1/8 is smaller than -5/16

Final answer: -11/12 is the only fraction bigger than -5/16
