Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the denominator be x
  • So, numerator = x - 2
  • According to the given condition: when 1 is subtracted from numerator and denominator both, the resulting new rational number in its simplest form is \frac{1}{2}

  • \implies \frac{x-2-1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{2}

  • \implies \frac{x-3}{x-1}=\frac{1}{2}

  • \implies 2(x-3)=x -1

  • \implies 2x-6=x -1

  • \implies 2x-x=6-1

  • \implies x=5

  • \implies x-2=-5-2= 3

  • Required \: rational\: number = \frac{3}{5}

The slope f′(x) at each point (x,y) on a curve y=f(x) is given, along with a point (a,b) on the curve. Use this information to f
Montano1993 [528]

f'(x)=\dfrac{4x}{1+7x^2}

Integrating gives

f(x)=\displaystyle\int\frac{4x}{1+7x^2}\,\mathrm dx

To compute the integral, substitute u=1+7x^2, so that \frac27\,\mathrm du=4x\,\mathrm dx. Then

f(x)=\displaystyle\frac27\int\frac{\mathrm du}u=\frac27\ln|u|+C

Since u=1+7x^2>0 for all x, we can drop the absolute value, so we end up with

f(x)=\dfrac27\ln(1+7x^2)+C

Given that f(0)=10, we have

10=\dfrac27\ln1+C\implies C=10

so that

\boxed{f(x)=\dfrac27\ln(1+7x^2)+10}

The mass of an ornament is m grams.
MArishka [77]

Given:

m is directly proportional to the cube of h.

m = 525 when h= 5.

To find:

The equation connecting m and h.

Solution:

m is directly proportional to the cube of h.

m\propto h

m=kh            ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Putting m = 525 and h= 5, we get

525=k(5)

\dfrac{525}{5}=k

105=k

Putting k=105 in (i), we get

m=105h

Therefore, the required equation is m=105h.
