Question

Prove that:

(i) $\frac{a + b + c}{a^{- 1} b^{- 1} + b^{- 1} c^{- 1} + c^{- 1} a^{- 1}} = a b c$

(ii) $(a^{- 1} + b^{- 1})^{- 1} = \frac{a b}{a + b}$

Open in App

Solution

(i) $\frac{a + b + c}{a^{- 1} b^{- 1} + b^{- 1} c^{- 1} + c^{- 1} a^{- 1}} = a b c$

$L H S = \frac{a + b + c}{a^{- 1} b^{- 1} + b^{- 1} c^{- 1} + c^{- 1} a^{- 1}} {\begin{matrix} ∵ a^{- m} = \frac{1}{a^{m}} \end{matrix}} = \frac{a + b + c}{\frac{1}{a b} + \frac{1}{b c} + \frac{1}{c a}} = \frac{a + b + c}{\frac{c + a + b}{a b c}} = \frac{(a + b + c) a b c}{(a + b + c)} = a b c = R H S$

(ii) $(a^{- 1} + b^{- 1})^{- 1} = \frac{a b}{a + b}$

$L H S = (a^{- 1} + b^{- 1})^{- 1} = {(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b})}^{- 1} = {(\frac{b + a}{a b})}^{- 1} {\begin{matrix} ∵ a^{- m} = \frac{1}{a^{m}} \end{matrix}} = \frac{a b}{a + b} = R H S$
