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

a_1 - 1 = \sqrt{2}i\\a_1 = 1+\sqrt{2}i\\\\a_2 - 1 = -\sqrt{2}i\\a_2 = 1 - \sqrt{2}i\\

these options correspond to a and b from the original question.

Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from a dividing board that is 21 feet above the surface of the water. His dive
leonid [27]

Answer:

NO. Alex was wrong.  

The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.

So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.

Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water  

Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet

Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet  

Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet

   = 38 feet.

Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.

Which graph shows the correct representation of {x | x ≤ 5}?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be the third one. It has to be a closed circle because it includes the sign, ≤ meaning that it also has the number 5 included. The numbers that go to the left of 5 are smaller, too.
