Answer: for 3) 427 hikers

Step-by-step explanation: b + 178 + b = 676

2b + 178 = 676

2b = 498

b = 249 bikers

h = 249 + 178 = 427 hikers

Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

<em>Using first principle, this gives:</em>

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

<em>Hence, the smallest sum is 2</em>

The considered decimal number is expressed by the fraction given by: Option C: 4/33

<h3>How to convert from decimal to fraction?</h3>

For conversion from decimal to fraction, we write it in the form a/b such that the result of the fraction comes as the given decimal. Usually, to get the decimal of the form a.bcd, we count how many digits are there after the decimal point (if its finite), then we write 10 raised to that many power as denominator, and the considered number without any decimal point as numerator.

For example:

$0.99 = \dfrac{99}{10^2} = \dfrac{99}{100}$

(10 raised to power k = 1 followed by k zeroes)

<h3>What is the sum of an infinite geometric series?</h3>

The sum of an infinite geometric series having the initial term "a" and the multiplication per term is done by "r" such that r < 1

is given by

$S_{\infty} = \dfrac{a}{1-r}$

The series would look like $a+ ar+ ar^2+\cdots$

For the considered case, the given decimal number is

$0.\overline{12} = 0.121212\cdots$

We can check all the options available one by one, so as to know which one ends up giving this pattern, or we can use another technique as shown below.

$0.12121... = (0.1 + 0.001 + 0.00001 + ... ) + (0.02 + 0.0002 + 0.000002 + ... )$

Each of the two series obtained are geometric series with the multiplication factor as 1/100

Using the sum formula for evaluation of an infinite geometric series, and the fact that initial term of first series is 0.1 and that of second series is 0.02, we get:
$0.121212... = \dfrac{0.1}{1-1/100} + \dfrac{0.02}{1 - 1/100} = \dfrac{1}{99/100}(\dfrac{1}{10} + \dfrac{2}{100})\\0.121212... = \dfrac{100}{99}\times(\dfrac{10}{100} + \dfrac{2}{100})\\\\\\0.121212 ... = \dfrac{12}{99} = \dfrac{4}{33}$

Thus, the considered decimal number is expressed by the fraction given by: Option C: 4/33
