Answer:

2/5 < 7/10

The least common denominator is 10 so if you do 5*2 = 10 and 2*2 = 4 then compare it to 7/10, it would be less than because 4/10 is not greater than 7/10.

Prove 2√(x) + 1/√(x + 1) <= 2√(x+1) for all x in [0,inf)

EleoNora [17]

Start by multiplying each side of the inequality by $\sqrt{x + 1}$ and simplifying:

$2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}} \leq 2 \sqrt{x + 1}$
$(2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}})(\sqrt{x + 1}) \leq (2 \sqrt{x + 1})(\sqrt{x + 1})$
$2 \sqrt{x(x + 1)} + 1 \leq 2(x + 1)$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} + 1 \leq 2x + 2$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq 2x + 1$
$\sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq x + \frac{1}{2}$

From here, we can square both sides to get

$x^2 + x \leq (x + \frac{1}{2})^2$
$x^2 + x \leq x^2 + x + \frac{1}{4}$
$0 \leq \frac{1}{4}$ , which is always true.

if 30 cents outof every 1 dollar goes to taxes and the rest is net income, what's the ratio of taxes to net income?

Vlad1618 [11]

So if 30 cents out of every dollar go to taxes, then the net income is 70 cents out of every dollar. So the ratio of taxes to net income is 30:70 (30 cents taxes to 70 cents net income) which is 3:7
