15:13 is in its simplest form already, since 13 is a prime number and 15 is not a multiple of 13.
Answer:
538461.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there...
2( x - 6) < 1/2(12x - 8)
2x - 12 < (12x- 8)/2
2x - 12 < 6x - 4
2x - 6x < -4 + 12
-4x < 8
Divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4 < 8/-4
x > - 2
Let's assume that number as x
so,
the sum of the number and its reciprocal is

Firstly, we will find derivative

now, we can set it to 0
and then we can solve for x


Since, only x=1 lies on [1/2,3/2]
so, we will consider only x=1
now, we can plug end values and x=1 into S
At x=1/2:
we can plug x=1/2



At x=1:
we can plug x=1



At x=3/2:
we can plug x=3/2
