If a/b < c/d with b > 0, d > 0, prove that a+c / b+d lies between the two fractions a/b and c/d .

Tems11 [23]

Divide through everything by b :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Since a/b < c/d, it follows that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac cd+\dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Multiply through everything on the right side by b/d to get

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac{bc}{d^2}+\dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac{\dfrac cd\left(\dfrac bd+1\right)}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac cd$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) < c/d.

For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by d :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

and a/b < c/d tells us that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac ab}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

Then

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac{ad}{b^2}}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab\left(1+\dfrac db\right)}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac ab$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) > a/b.

Then together we get the desired inequality.

"the life length x (in years) of a dvd player" is exponentially distributed with mean 5 years. what is the probability that a mo

loris [4]

The exponential distribution is:
$\lambda e^{- \lambda x}$
where $\lambda = \frac{1}{mean}=\frac{1}{5}$

The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.
$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$
where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:
$P(x \ \textgreater \ N) = \int_N^{\infty} \frac{1}{5} e^{-x/5} dx = e^{-N/5}$

Sub into conditional probability formula:

$P(x \ \textgreater \ 8 | x\ \textgreater \ 5) = \frac{P(x\ \textgreater \ 8)}{P(x\ \textgreater \ 5)} = \frac{e^{-8/5}}{e^{-5/5}} = e^{-3/5} = 0.549$

Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%

-5/3 can be turned to a mixed number =-1 2/3
So can 18/11 = 1 7/11
10/4 = 2 2/4 or 2 1/2 simplified
And -3/3 as 1
This may make it easier to graph own the number line
