Mathematics
1 answer:
suter [353]2 years ago

Answer:

a is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a+\dfrac{1}{a}=2

Multiply both sides by a:

a^2+1=2a

Move everything to one side:

a^2-2a+1=0

Factor:

(a-1)^2=0

By the zero product rule, a is 1.

Therefore, the expression is true, because:

(1)^2+\dfrac{1}{a^2}=a^4+\dfrac{1}{a^4}=1+1=2

Hope this helps!

A two-digit number is written at random. The probability that the number will be odd is . The probability that the number will b
Makovka662 [10]
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: Two digit number means we will have to choose from numbers 0-9 for the second digit and 1-9 for the first digit. (since zero can't be in the tens place)
Formula: We will use m x n. That is, m is the number of elements we can use for the first digit and n will be the number of elements we can use for the second digit.
Sample Space: To get the probability, we must find the sample space or all the outcomes.
m - 9 elements (1-9)
m - 9 elements (1-9)n - 10 elements (0-9)
m x n = 9x10 =90
90 is our sample space.
A. An odd number
Conditions: For an odd number, the second number will determine whether or not it is an odd number. For the first digit, we can use 1-9.
Elements:
m - 9 elements (1-9)
m - 9 elements (1-9)n - 5 elements (1,3,5,7,9)
m x n=9x5=45
SOLVE (probability)
Probability= possible outcomes/sample space
P=45/90
P=1/2
B. Larger than 75.
Conditions: The first digit could be equal to 7 or greater. But n will only be greater than 5 if and only if m=7 and n could be any number if m>7.
Elements 1:
m - 1 element (7)
m - 1 element (7)n - 4 elements (6,7,8,9)
m - 1 element (7)n - 4 elements (6,7,8,9)m x n=1x4=4
Elements 2:
m - 2 elements (8,9)
m - 2 elements (8,9)n - 10 elements (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,)
m - 2 elements (8,9)n - 10 elements (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,)mxn=2x10=20
TOTAL: 4+20=24
SOLVE (PROBABILITY)
Probability= possible outcomes/sample space
P=24/90
P=4/15
C. multiple of 5
Condition: the second digit must be either 0 or 5 and the first digit could be any digit.
Elements:
m - 9 elements (1-9)
m - 9 elements (1-9)n - 2 elements (0,5)
m x n =9x2=18
SOLVE (PROBABILITY)
P=18/90
P=1/5
D. An even number smaller than 40
Condition: The first digit could be equal to 4 but the second digit must be even (excluding zero). Another situation is the first digit would be greater than 4 and the second digit would be any even number.
Elements 1:
m - 1 element (4)
n - 4 elements (2,4,6,8)
m x n = 1x4=4
Elements 2:
m - 5 elements (5,6,7,8,9)
n - 5 elements (0,2,4,6,8)
mxn=5x5=25
TOTAL: 25+4=29
SOLVE: Probability
P=29/90

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-1,8) and is parallel to the graph of y = 4x - 2
NikAS [45]

Answer:

When a line is parallel to another line, they have the same slope. So far the equation would be, y=4x+b. To find the value of b, substitute the given point into the equation.

8=4(-1)+b

8=-4+b

b=12

So, the equation of the line is y=4x+12.

spencer is on a mountain 11,224 feet above sea level. Heidi is on a submarine 3703 feet below sea level in a direct line below S
Alex
Since heidi is on a submarine 3703 below, we could say that she's -3703 and spencer is 11,224. 11224-(-3703)=14927
