Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1/x  = a &

1/y = b

So, now the equation:

2a +3b  = 13   --------------------(i)

5a - 4b  = -2  --------------------(ii)

To eliminate a, Multiply equation (i) by 5 and multiply (ii) by (-2)

(i)*5             10a  + 15b = 65

(ii)*(-2)    <u>    - 10a + 8b  = 4</u>      ( Now add, a will be eliminated}

                            23b = 69

b= 69/23

b = 3

Plug in the value of b in equation (i)

2a + 3*3 = 13

2a + 9 = 13

2a  = 13 - 9

2a = 4

a= 4/2

a = 2  

Now a = 1/x   ------>x = 1/a = 1/2

b = 1/y ----------->y = 1/b = 1/3

x+y=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{1*3}{2*3}+\frac{1*2}{3*2}\\\\=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{5}{6}

Direction if parabola. x2?6x+8=yx2-6x+8=y
STatiana [176]

{\text{Direction of parabola depends on the sign of quadratic coefficient of a }} \hfill \\

{\text{quadratic equation}}. \hfill \\

{\text{For given quadratic equation}}. \hfill \\

a{x^2} + bx + c = 0 \hfill \\

{\text{The parabola is in the upward direction if }}a{\text{ }} > {\text{ }}0{\text{ and in downward direction if }}a < 0 \hfill \\

{\text{Here, the equation of given parabola is }} \hfill \\

{x^2} - 6x + 8 = y \hfill \\

\Rightarrow y = \left( {{x^2} - 6x + 9} \right) - 9 + 8 \hfill \\

\Rightarrow y = {\left( {x - 3} \right)^2} - 1. \hfill \\

{\text{Thus, the parabola is in the upward direction}} \hfill \\
