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:
-4 or undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s 56 bc a straight line = 180 so 180-124=56

The type of land form that Caleb most likely draws is a hill. The answer is option C- a hill.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Contour lines are <u>drawn to represent the changes in the elevation</u> which helps to know the slope of the figure drawn.
- If the contour lines are drawn close, then steeper the figure is. And more distant the lines are drawn, then less steep the figure is.
- Here, the lines seem to be likely circle in shape. The distance of the outermost contour line is 20 ft. The <u>next inner lines will have reduced values of 20 ft.</u>
- Therefore, <u>the elevation gets reduced from higher to lower points</u> which provides a diagram of a hill. Since there is no continuous high and low elevations, this cannot be a valley (a range of mountains).
- Furthermore, The contour diagram for option A and D such as creek(water stream) or shoreline will have different and mixed values of elevations that seems to be a messy structure of contour lines.
