Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.
Answer:
The letter is m and is usually to the left of x
Step-by-step explanation:
i think the equation is y=mx+b
The answer is 6/40. All the others equal 1/5.
Answer:
<u>The only x-intercept is x = 1</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is:
We can substitute y for r(x), to write in the notation:
To get y-intercept, we put x = 0
and
To get x-intercept, we put y =0
We want to find x-intercepts here, so we substitute 0 into y and solve for x. Shown below:
<u>The only x-intercept is x = 1</u>
Answer: the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes is 0.067
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that the current measurements in a strip of wire are assumed to follow a normal distribution, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = current measurements in a strip.
µ = mean current
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 10
σ = 2
We want to find the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes. It is expressed as
P(x > 13) = 1 - P(x ≤ 13)
For x = 13,
z = (13 - 10)/2 = 1.5
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.933
P(x > 13) = 1 - 0.933 = 0.067
