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:
58.8
Step-by-step explanation:
basic facts:
-15.4% is the same as 15.4/100
- the word 'of' in maths means times
so 15.4% of the 382ml is the same as
382*15.4/100
to do that, you multiply 382 by 15.4 = 5882.8
then you divide that by 100= 58.828
and then you just round that of to 58.8
The y-intercept is the "b" in the slope-intercept form of y=mx+b. Based on the equation you wrote, you can substitute each of your known values into the slope-intercept form.
