Question

q5 please answer!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

the sum of a number and it's reciprocal is 10/3

let the required number be x

it's reciprocal = 1/x

ATQ

x + 1/x = 10/3

(x² + 1)/x = 10/3

3(x²+1) = 10x

3x² + 3 = 10x

3x² - 10x +3 = 0

3x² - 9x - x +3 = 0

3x(x-3) -1(x-3) = 0

x = 3 and x = 1/3

so the required number is 3 and it's reciprocal is 1/3

hope this will help you
