Question

Considera la operación "menos el recíproco de", definida por $a\diamond b=a-\frac{1}{b}.$ ¿Cuánto vale $((1\diamond2)\diamond3)-(1\diamond(2\diamond3))$ ?

Consider the operation "minus the reciprocal of," defined by $a\diamond b=a-\frac{1}{b}.$ What is $((1\diamond2)\diamond3)-(1\diamond(2\diamond3))?$

$-\dfrac{7}{30}$

$-\dfrac{1}{6}$

$0$

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

$\dfrac{7}{30}$

Solución:

$\begin{align*} &((1\diamond2)\diamond3)-(1\diamond(2\diamond3)) \\ &= \left(\dfrac 12- \dfrac 13\right) - \left(1 \diamond \dfrac 53\right)\\ &= \left(\dfrac 12 - \dfrac 13\right) - \left(1-\dfrac 35\right)\\ &= \dfrac 16 - \dfrac 25 \\&= -\dfrac{7}{30} \end{align*}$

Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es A.

$\begin{align*} &((1\diamond2)\diamond3)-(1\diamond(2\diamond3)) \\ &= \left(\dfrac 12- \dfrac 13\right) - \left(1 \diamond \dfrac 53\right)\\ &= \left(\dfrac 12 - \dfrac 13\right) - \left(1-\dfrac 35\right)\\ &= \dfrac 16 - \dfrac 25 \\&= -\dfrac{7}{30} \end{align*}$

Thus, the correct answer is A .
