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.

A large container holds 5 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the container has 3 gallons
Anna007 [38]
5 - 10 x = 3
10 x = 5 - 3
10 x = 2
x = 10 : 5
x = 0.2
The rate is : 0.2 gallons / minute
5 - t * 0.2 = 0
t * 0.2 = 5
t = 5 : 0.2
t = 25 min
Answer: After 25 minutes the container will be empty.
