6 0

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.

Which of the following best describes the slope of the line below? A. Zero B. Undefined C. Positive D. Negative
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

D. negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each answer choice.

A. Zero

A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line. The x values change, but the y values stay the same.

B. Undefined

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. The x values don't change and the y values vary.

C. Positive

When a line has a positive slope, the line increases from left to right.

D. Negative

When a line has a negative slope, the line decreases from left to right.

When we move from left to right on the graph, the line moves down. Therefore, this line must have a negative slope and D is correct.

I need help can y'all help please
BartSMP [9]
Your domain is all positive numbers, and your range is all numbers. this is because no matter what you plug in for y, x will only ever get extremely close to 0, but never reach it or go below it, and if you put in large values of y x will get very big.

(-8) - 3y= 25<br><br>if you have time please help, thank you​
Neko [114]

(-8) - 3y= 25

-8-3y= 25

move -8 to the other side

sign changes from -8 to +8

-8+8-3y=25+8

-3y= 33

divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

and to get +y

-3y/-3= 33/-3

Answer:

y= -11
