Recall that
d/dx sech(x) = - sech(x) tanh(x)
d/dx tan⁻¹(x) = 1/(1 + x²)
Then by the chain rule,
dy/dx = - sech(x) tanh(x) / (1 + x²)
Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

Answer:
(-3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a line segment is the average of the end point coordinates:
((1, 1) +(-7, 5))/2 = (1 -7, 1 +5)/2 = (-6, 6)/2 = (-3, 3) . . . midpoint coordinates
They show facts to prove that your opinion is right.
