Thirty-one books are arranged from left to right in order of increasing prices. The price of each book differs by $2 from that o

f each adjacent book. The price of the book at the extreme right is equal to the price of the middle book plus a book adjacent to the middle one. Give an expression for the cost of the $n$th book in terms of $n$

The answer for this problem is 2 since it is not specified whether it is adjacent to the right or adjacent to the left.
If it is adjacent to the right, the answer is:

p (k) = 2 * p(1) + 2 * k

If the is adjacent to the left, the answer is:

P (k) = 2 *p(1) +2 * (k-2)

what algorithm (rule) will produce the correct result for the sum "a+b" where a and b each represent any rational number.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

To find the sum of  a + b where a and b are rational number.

1. when a and b are natural numbers

just add them . for example a =3, b=8

then ,a + b = 11

2. When a and b  are whole numbers,

simply add them . for example a= 0, b=8

a+ b = 0 + 8= 8

3. When  a and b are integers

for example, a =-1 b=8,

a+ b= -1+ 8 =7,

a=-2, b= -8

a+ b= -2-8=-10

a= -6 , b=2

a+ b= -6 + 2= -4

a= 8, b= -2

a+ b= 8 +(-2) =6

I have written this because Rational number = [Integers{Whole number(Natural number)}]

now when a= Any fraction=\frac{p}{q} and b = Any fraction=\frac{u}{v}

now ,

\frac{p}{q} + \frac{u}{v}

Find L.C.M of q and v

= if q and v are Co-prime , just multiply them to find their  L.C.M.

For example 14,9. LCM=14×9=126

Otherwise, Find factors of q and v . Then take out common factors first and then multiply the remaining with with common factors.For example

q=12 and v=18

12 =2×2×3

18=2×3×3

common factor =2,3

non common=2,3

L.C.M= 2×2×3×3=36

Suppose LCM of q and v = r

then ,\frac{p}{q} + \frac{u}{v}

=\frac{{\frac{r}{q}}\times p+{\frac{r}{v}\times u}}{r}\\

= {{\frac{r}{q}}\times p+{\frac{r}{v}\times u}} = k

then ,

a + b=\frac{k}{r}
