(-2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number=x

its reciprocal=1/x

x+2/x=-3

x²+2=-3x

x²+3x+2=0

(x+2)(x+1)=0

x=-2,-1

A nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. Which walk is
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Evening walk is shorter.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. We are asked to find the shorter walk.

Let us compare both fractions by making the same denominator.

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2}{3}

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times2}

\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{4}{6}

\text{Three-sixth}=\frac{3}{6}

Upon making common denominator, we can see that two-thirds are equal to four sixths.

Since three-sixths is less than four-sixths, therefore, evening walk is shorter.

We will draw two rectangles, one with 6 sub-parts and other with three sub-parts.

We will shade 2 parts out of 3 sub-parts to represent 2/3 and shade 3 parts out of 6 sub-parts to represent 3/6.

Then we will further divide three sub-parts into 6 sub-parts as shown in the diagram that will represent 4/6.

What is the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence shown? \displaystyle \frac{1}{3} 3 1 ​ , \displaystyle \frac{2}
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1 = First term = \dfrac{1}{3}

d = Common difference = \dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3}

n = Number of terms = 20

Sum of arithmetic progression is given by

S=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n-1)d]\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{20}{2}\times (2\times \dfrac{1}{3}+(20-1)\dfrac{1}{3})\\\Rightarrow S=70

The sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 70.
