Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) + g(x) = 5x^2 + 9x - 17; g(x) -f(x) = -x^2 -x -1
Answer:
(a) 300
(b)100
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) each figure is 100 student and there are 3 figures at Woodbridge so it's 3*100=300
(b) DuBois=3*100=300
Polk=4*100=400
400-300=100
Answer:
3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/4÷1/3
so,
= 5 1/4×3/1
= 5 × 0.75
= 3.75
