Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, rewrite the given equation in the form of y=mx+c.
m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept.
3x-5y=8
5y= 3x -8
Thus, the gradient of the given equation is ⅗.
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
(gradient of line)(⅗) = -1
gradient of line= -1 ÷⅗
gradient of line=
To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.
When x=3, y=7,
7= -5 +c
c= 7+5
c= 12
Hence, the equation of the line is .
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.
