<span>In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/ x or x −1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a / b is b / a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.</span>
Answer:
OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .
It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.
The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .
Here a = 2 and r = 3.
term of a Geometric progression is
.
Note that the fourth term is 54.
i.e., 
.
Similarly,
.
Also,
.
Hence, OPTION B is the answer.
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent forms 90° with the touch point at circle
(x+8)^2 = 256+x^2
x^2 + 16x + 64 = 256 + x^2
16x = 192
x= 12
Well, you can't really determine the price of 1 book, but you can find out the average cost.
280 - 16 = 8x (x = cost of 1 book)
264 = 8x
264/8 = 8x/8
33 = x
So the average cost of one book is 33$( A little expensive if I do say so myself)
Hope this helped!
