By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is increased by 60% and its denominator is decreased by 20%?

1 answer:

7 0

Lets just use $\frac{10}{20}$ for an example. If the number is increased by 60% and the denominator is decreased by 20% we get the new fraction being: $\frac{16}{16}$ . Since then new one is equal to 1, and the original is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ , we see that this manipulation of the fraction causes an increase of 100%.

$g(x)=\frac{5}{x^2-x+6}\\\\D:x^2-x+6\neq0\\\\\Delta=(-1)^2-4\cdot1\cdot6=1-24=-23 < 0\\\\x\in\mathbb{R}\\\\vertex\ of\ y=x^2-x+6\\\\p=\frac{-(-1)}{2\cdot1}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\q=\frac{-(-23)}{4\cdot1}=\frac{23}{4}\\\\\lim\limits_{x\to\frac{1}{2}}\frac{5}{x^2-x+6}=\frac{5}{\frac{23}{4}}=\frac{5\cdot4}{23}=\frac{20}{23}$

$\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\frac{5}{x^2-x+6}=0$
