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.

Answer:
The graph is positive and would have a y intercept of 1 and a slope of 2 which means choose a point on the graph and add 2 to the y and 1 to the x and you should be at the next point on the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
f(x)=y
m = slope
b = y intercept
First you need to make it look like y=mx+b
y = 2x - 1 + 2
y = 2x + 1
Now we can say,
m = 2
b = 1
or,
Slope =
y intercept = 1
Slope (m) =
So the numerator is the value your are going to go up or down along the graph and the denominator is the value of how far you are going to go left or right along the graph. If the slope is positive then the graph is inclining. If the slope is negative, the graph is declining.
