Answer:

  2/3 or 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The given relation is ...

  x +1/x = 2 1/6

  x^2 +1 = (13/6)x

  6x^2 -13x +6 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side and multiply by 6

  (6x -9)(6x -4)/6 = 0 . . . . factor

  (2x -3)(3x -2) = 0 . . . . . . simplify a bit

  x = 3/2  or  2/3 . . . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The number is 2/3 or its reciprocal, 3/2.

The range of the function f(k) = k2 + 2k + 1 is {25, 64}. What is the function’s domain?
Lunna [17]
The domain of a function contains the x-values of the function while the range of the function contains the y-values of the function. In this case, we substitute 25 and 64 to y. Then,
25 = k2 + 2 k + 1 (k-4) * (k+6) = 0
64 = k2 + 2 k + 1 (k-7) * (k+9) = 0
hence the domain is {-9,-6, 4,7}

A number consist of 2 digits whose sum is 8, If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their place. The number
Novay_Z [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two digit number is 10x + y, where x is the first digit and y is the second digit.

The sum of the digits is 8:

x + y = 8

If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

10x + y − 8 = 10y + x

Simplify the second equation:

9x − 8 = 9y

Substitute from the first equation.

y = 8 − x

9x − 8 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 8 = 72 − 9x

18x = 80

x = 4.444

There's a problem.  x isn't an integer.  Are you sure you copied the problem correctly?  Perhaps you meant if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

9x − 18 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 18 = 72 − 9x

18x = 90

x = 5

y = 8 − x

y = 3

So the number is 53.
