Answer:
is this even math????
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.
So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27
-27 * -1/27 = 1
So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27
7/9 * 9/7 = 1
-9/16 * -16/9 = 1
So in essence, just take the number and flip it
-27 = -1 / 27
7/9 = 9/7
-9/16 = -16/9
Answer:
7,290
Step-by-step explanation:
Completing the square follows the principle of taking

and converting it into

where d is the 'correctional number' as I like to call it - i.e. the number that converts the expanded bracket into the +c, since the expanded bracket will give us

.
In this case, 2/2=1 so we have the first part:

.
Expanding this gives us

. We need c to be 9, so we can just add 8.
Putting this together:

Now we can solve it more easily.
