Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be 'x'
Reciprocal =
Cross multiply
(x² + 1) *2 = 5*x
2x² + 2 = 5x
2x² - 5x + 2 =0
Factorize the equation,
Sum = -5
Product = 4
Factors = -1 , -4
2x² - x - 4x + 2 = 0
x(2x - 1) - 2(2x - 1) = 0
(2x -1 )(x - 2) = 0
2x - 1 = 0 ; x -2 = 0
2x =1 ; x = 2
x = 1/2
Number = 2 , and its reciprocal = 1/2
Answer:
im sorry this seems to not be correctly stated
Step-by-step explanation:
3x/(x+1) + (x+1)/(2x) + (5/x)
To find the least common denominator, we multiply the denominators that cannot factor into eachother. x, the denominator in 5/x, fits into 2x, so we do not need to multiply this number.
Therefore, the least common denominator is:
2x(x+1)
The first term will be multiplied by 2x/2x
The second term will be multiplied by (x+1)/(x+1)
The third term will be multiplied by 2(x+1)
