A and B are postive integers such that 1/a + 1/b +1/ab = 1. Find ab

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: ab =6

have:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{ab}=1\\\\=>\frac{b}{ab}+\frac{a}{ab}+\frac{1}{ab}=1\\\\<=>\frac{a+b+1}{ab}=1[/tex]

=> a + b + 1 = ab

⇔ a + b + 1 - ab = 0

⇔ b - 1 - a(b - 1) + 2 = 0

⇔ (b - 1)(1 - a) = -2

because a and b are postive integers => (b - 1) and (1 - a) also are integers

=> (b - 1) ∈ {-1; 1; 2; -2;}

(1 -a) ∈  {-1; 1; 2; -2;}

because (b -1).(1-a) = -2 => we have the table:

b - 1        -1             1              2             -2

1 - a         2            -2            -1              1

a              -1            3             2              0

b              0            2             3              -1

a.b            0           6             6               0

because a and b  are postive integers

=> (a;b) = (3;2) or (a;b) = (2;3)

=> ab = 6

Write a function g whose graph represents a reflection in the y-axis of the graph of f(x)=−3+|x−11|.

Answers

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set. The function g(x) which is reflection of f(x) will be g(x)=−3+|x+11|.

What is a Function?

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

The given function g whose graph represents a reflection in the y-axis of the graph of f(x)=−3+|x−11| will be g(x)=−3+|x+11|. This is because if the function is reflected on the y-axis then the result of the reflected function will be the same but the result will be 11 units late, 11 units because it is the critical point of the absolute value.

Hence, the function g(x) which is refelction of f(x) will be g(x)=−3+|x+11|.

The coldest temperature last December was –18.24 degrees. The difference between this and the highest recorded temperature was 56.24 degrees. What was the highest recorded temperature?

Answers

Answer: The highest recorded temperature was 38 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The coldest temperature last December was –18.24 degrees.

Difference between this and the highest recorded temperature=

56.24 degrees

The highest recorded temperature = coldest temperature + difference

= -18.24+56.24 degrees

= 38 degrees

Hence, the highest recorded temperature was 38 degrees.

When gold medalist Ren Qian prepared for her dive from the 10 meter platform during the

nearest tenth of a meter.

Write answer like this: ##.# m.

(5 Points)

Enter your answer

Answers

Answer:

Ren was 27.5 meters away from her family.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ren Qian was at a height of 10 meters to the ground. Let the distance from her vertical point on the ground to her family (i.e the ground distance) be represented by x.

But the angle of depression is measured with respect to the horizontal plane, so;

the vertical angle = [tex]90^{o}[/tex] - 20°

                             = [tex]70^{o}[/tex]

Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan [tex]70^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

⇒ x = 10 x Tan [tex]70^{o}[/tex]

      = 10 x 2.7475

      = 27.475

x = 27.5 meters

Ren was 27.5 meters away from her family.

When Charlotte left her house this morning, her cell phone was 30% charged and it

then started to lose 2.5% charge for each hour thereafter. Write an equation for B, in

terms of t, representing the charge remaining in Charlotte's battery, as a percentage,

t hours after Charlotte left her house.

Answers

Answer:

B = 32.5 - 2.5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial percentage to be 30%

If it started to loose 2.5% every hour where;

t represents the time after Charlotte left her house

The amount of percent remaining every hour will form an arithmetic sequence as shown;

30, (30-2.5), (30-5.0),...

30, 27.5, 25.0...

Using the nth term for calculating an arithmetic sequence

B = a + (t-1)d

a is the first term = 30

d is the common difference = 27.5-30 = 25-27.5 = -2.5

t is the time

Substitute the given values into the formula;

B = 30 + (t-1)(-2.5)

B = 30+(-2.5t+2.5)

B = 30-2.5t+2.5

B = 32.5 - 2.5t

Hence equation for B, in  terms of t, representing the charge remaining in Charlotte's battery, as a percentage,  t hours after Charlotte left her house is B = 32.5 - 2.5t

Option 4 (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the f(x) = 10 - x^2 into where it says f(x):

g(x) = 3 f(x) - 8

g(x) = 3 (10-x^2) - 8

Because there is a -2 in place of the x in g(x), then we need to substitute the value of 2 for x into the equation:

g(-2) = 3 (10-(-2)^2) - 8

g(-2) = 18 - 8

g(-2) = 10

The drawing of the building, shown below, has a scale of 1 inch to 30 feet. What is the actual height, in feet, of the building?

Answers

Answer:

Actual height of the building is 37.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used to get the actual length of the building,

Scale used = [tex]\frac{\text{Dimension of image (on map)}}{\text{Dimension of actual}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

By this formula,

[tex]\frac{1.25}{\text{Actual height}}=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

Actual height of the building = 1.25 × 30

                                               = 37.5 feet

Therefore, actual height of the building will be 37.5 feet.

Given Equation:

4x - 9 = 6 - x

Add both side x of the equation

4x - 9 +x = 6 - x + x

5x = 6

Now, divide both side by 6 gives

5x/ 5 = 6/5

x = 1.2
