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.
5^12/5^6 Is the correct response. When equal numbers with different exponents are divided then the you must subtract the exponents.
Thus 12-6 = 6.
I got 22 because if u do 20 multiplied by 10% that gives u 2 which u then add onto the 20 to get the starting price. 10% of 22 is 2 and then 22-2 = 20 (if u we’re doing it from the starting price)
Answer:
-2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 4 ticks between 2 numbers, we do 1/4 = 0.25
Now we find the value:
-2.25
Answer:
Diameter of sphere = 18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>Volume of Cylinder and Sphere:</h2><h3> Cylinder:</h3>
Diameter = 18 cm
r = 18÷ 2 = 9 cm
h = 12 cm

= π * 9 * 9 * 12 cm³
<h3>Sphere:</h3>

Solid cylinder is melted and turned into a solid sphere.
Volume of sphere = volume of cylinder

![\sf r^{3}= \dfrac{\pi *9*9*12*3}{4*\pi }\\\\ r^{3}=9 * 9 *3 *3\\\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{9*9*9}\\\\ r = 9 \ cm\\\\diameter = 9*2\\\\\boxed{diameter \ of \ sphere = 18 \ cm}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csf%20r%5E%7B3%7D%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%2A9%2A9%2A12%2A3%7D%7B4%2A%5Cpi%20%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%20r%5E%7B3%7D%3D9%20%2A%209%20%2A3%20%2A3%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cr%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B9%2A9%2A9%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20r%20%3D%209%20%5C%20cm%5C%5C%5C%5Cdiameter%20%3D%209%2A2%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cboxed%7Bdiameter%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20%20sphere%20%3D%2018%20%5C%20cm%7D)
