Given:

Consider the given function:

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot(x-b)}{a-b}

To prove:

f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\dfrac{b\cdot(x-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (x-b)}{a-b}

Substituting x=a, we get

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a-b)}{a-b}

f(a)=\dfrac{b\cdot 0}{b-a}+\dfrac{a}{1}

f(a)=0+a

f(a)=a

Substituting x=b, we get

f(b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (b-b)}{a-b}

f(b)=\dfrac{b}{1}+\dfrac{a\cdot 0}{a-b}

f(b)=b+0

f(b)=b

Substituting x=a+b, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot(a+b-a)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a+b-b)}{a-b}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b\cdot (b)}{b-a}+\dfrac{a\cdot (a)}{-(b-a)}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2}{b-a}-\dfrac{a^2}{b-a}

f(a+b)=\dfrac{b^2-a^2}{b-a}

Using the algebraic formula, we get

f(a+b)=\dfrac{(b-a)(b+a)}{b-a}          [\because b^2-a^2=(b-a)(b+a)]

f(a+b)=b+a

f(a+b)=a+b               [Commutative property of addition]

Now,

LHS=f(a)+f(b)

LHS=a+b

LHS=f(a+b)

LHS=RHS

Hence proved.

Fermium-253 has a half life of three days. A sample contains 400 g. How long will it take for the sample to decay to 100 g?
NemiM [27]
After the first three days, the sample size will be half of the initial; therefore, 400g/2= 200g. However, it is asking how long will it take to decay to 100g, so we will take 200g/2= 100g, which will take another three days.  It will take 2 half-lives, which will encompass 6 days.
