<p>If y=1+1/x and x>1 then y could equal
I have it down to these choices (C) 9/7</p>
<pre><code> (D) 15/7
(E) 19/7
</code></pre>
<p>Can you tell me how you solve this. You probably can substitute but there has to be another way of solving it.</p>
<p>you have to have a number where you subtract one and it will be less than one, so that when you take the reciprocal you get a number greater than one, C fits these conditions</p>
<p>If x>1, then 1/x<1 and y<1+1=2. Thus, (c) is the only possible answer.</p>
<p>y converges to one 1 and y < 2. therefore 1 < y < 2. and only (C) satisfies that.</p>
<p>Wait.. why isn't it D?</p>
<p>(Let x=7 and it works)</p>
<p>if x=7, y=8/7</p>
<p>Yea, if X>1... 1+ a number <1 means that the overall number must be <2.... C is the only one that satisfies that.</p>
