Make Equivalent Fraction

Make Equivalent fraction article deals with the definition of equivalent fraction, method to make the equivalent fraction and the arithmetic operations with equivalent fraction.

Definition of equivalent fraction:

When the two fractions have the same value in their lowest terms, then the two fractions are said to be equivalent fraction.

The upper part and lower part of the fraction are multiply or divided by the common number



Condition for making equivalent fraction

Consider the fractions as `(v/n)` and `(d/s)`

Condition

`(v/n) = (d/s)`

Cross multiply the fraction terms

v (s) = d(n)

vs= dn (equal)

So `(v/n)` and `(d/s)` are equivalent fractions

If  vs is not equal to dn

So `(v/n)` and `(d/s)` are not equivalent

Steps to Make the Equivalent fraction:

For making Equivalent fraction:

Step1: find the common multiplier of the whole fraction.

Step 2: cancel the common multiplier of the fraction.

Step 3: make the fraction to its lower terms

Step 4: multiply the numerator and denominator by common number.

Model problems form making equivalent fraction:

1. Whether the fractions are equivalent fraction.

The fractions are `(3/5) ` and `(6/10)`

Solution:

`(3/5) = (6/10)`

Cross multiply the fraction terms

(5*6) = (10*3)

30 = 30

They are equal

Therefore, the above fractions are making equivalent fraction.

2. Whether the fractions are equivalent fraction

The fractions are `(1/4)` and `(6/4)`

Solution:

`(1/4) = (6/4)`

Cross multiply the fraction terms

(1*4) = (4*6)

4= 24.

They are not equal

Therefore, fractions are not making equivalent fraction.

Model problems for making the equivalent fraction:

make  the equivalent fraction sample

`(49/28)`

Solution:

Step1: find the common multiplier of the whole fraction.

`(49/28) = ((7*7)/ (4*7))`

Step 2: cancel the common multiplier of fraction

= `(7/4)`

Step 3: we cannot simplify the fraction to its lower terms

The equivalent fraction is `(7/4)`

2.Make  the equivalent fraction sample

`(90/30)`

Solution:

Step1: find the common multiplier of the whole fraction.

`(90/30) = ((9*10)/ (3*10))`

Step 2: cancel the common multiplier of fraction

= `(9/3)`

My forthcoming post is on Rules for Dividing Decimals and cbse study material for class 11 will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Step 3:  make the fraction to its lower terms

Divide the upper and lower part by 3

= `(3/1)`

The equivalent fraction `(3/1)`

Finite Infinity

Infinity (symbolically represented by ∞) is a concept in mathematics and philosophy that refers to a quantity without bound or end .The word infinity comes from the Latin word 'infinitas' which means unclear.

It counts or measures things or an infinite number of terms but it’s  not the same sort of number as the real numbers .The set of integers are countably infinite(finite), while the set of real numbers are uncountably infinite .The symbol for infinity looks like ribbon(oo ).

The word finite means having no end.

Finite infinity in mathematics:

Most of  mathematics that deals with the infinite that can also be interpreted as dealing with the potentially infinite number. Let us take an example, the question of whether any of a species will have an infinite chain of descendant species can be defined in such a way that requires quantification over all those reals . There occurs not a single event that decides this question but it is still meaningful and it is also interesting in a potentially infinite universe. It can be determined by a recursively enumerable set of events that are listed by a computer. In mathematics the inverse of infinity leads to zero.

Example for finite infinity are a set of all real numbers which are shown to be uncountably finite.

Example problems for finite infinity:

There includes limits of the functions where it approaches as x tends  to infinity which is known as finite infinity. Here  L' Hopital's Rule is mostly used. If we try these problems before looking at the solutions, we can avoid common mistakes.

So the correct forms are  oo / oo is not  equal to one and  oo -oo is not equal to 0. Using algebraic manipulation we can circumvent these indeterminate forms. The  following problems need the algebraic computation of limits of functions as x approaches plus or minus infinity.

Example 1:

Compute the following lim_(x->oo)      100/x2+5                       ..

Solution:

100/x2+5  where x tends to infinity.

=  100/oo 2+5.

= 100/oo

Here the numerator is 100 and the denominator is infinity.

Any numerical number which divides the infinity equals 0.

So the answer is 0.

I am planning to write more post on Hypothesis Testing Statistics Examples and Regular Prism. Keep checking my blog.

Example 2:

Compute  the following lim_(x->oo)       3x3-1000x2                     .

Solution:

3x3-1000x2  where x tends to infinity.

= 3(oo )3-1000(oo )2.

=  oo  -oo

=  oo  and != 0.

This is not equal to 0.This is an indeterminate for. By factoring it can be  curmvented.

Problems for Fractions Reducing

A fraction is a number that can represent part of a whole. The earliest fractions were reciprocals of integers: ancient symbols representing one part of two, one part of three, one part of four, and so on. A much later development were the common or "vulgar" fractions which are still used today (½, ⅝, ¾, etc.) and which consist of a numerator and a denominator.

Solving Trigonometric Functions

In mathematics, the trigonometric functions are functions of an angle. They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles.

The most familiar trigonometric functions are the sine, cosine, and tangent. Trigonometric functions can also be called as circular functions.

A few example problems are given below to learn solving trigonometric functions.

Geometric Progression

In mathematics, a geometric progression, are called as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54 ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio 1/2. The sum of the conditions of a geometric progression

Source: Wikipedia

Concepts of geometric progression:

A geometric progression is a sequence of number each of which, after the first, is obtained by multiplying the preceding number by a constant r. This constant r is called the common ration of the geometric progression.

In other words, a series is said in geometric progression if the ratio of any term to the preceding term is constant throughout. It is briefly written as geometric progression.

The constant ratio is called the common ratio. It is denoted by “r”.

Thus, the general form of a geometric sequence is

a,ar,ar2,ar3,ar4,…

And that of a geometric series is

a+ar+ar2+ar3+ar4+…

Where r ≠ 0 is the common ratio and a is a scale factor, equal to the sequence's start value.

Formula for geometric progression:

For the geometric progression represented by

a,ar,ar2,ar3,…,arn-1

With common ratio r, the sum of the first n terms, denoted by Sn is

Sn=a+ar+ar2+ar3+…+arn-1

Multiplying both sides by r, we get

rSn=ar+ar2+ar3+…+arn-1+arn

Subtracting, we have

Sn-rSn=a-arn

Sn(1-r)=a(1-rn)

So that Sn= a(1-rn)/(1-r)       if r≠1.

When r=1, the progression is merely a,a,…a so that Sa in this case is simply na. Note that Sn can also be written as

Sn= (r_(n-1))/(r-1)                    r≠1

Example 1:

Find the 12th term of the series:

3,6,12,24,48…

Solution:

The given series is a geometric progression with a=3,r=6/2 =2

T12=ar11=3 x 211=6144

Practice problem for geometric progression:

The sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric progression with the first term a=25 and the common ration r=- 1/5 is

Answer: S8=25 (1-(1/(5_8) )) / (6/5 )

Multiply Rational Expressions

How to Multiply Rational Expressions

Multiplication of rational expressions is similar to the multiplication of fractions of rational numbers. Let us consider an example of multiplying fractions, 3/4 x 7/2. Here the method to be followed is, first multiply the terms in the numerator and then multiply the terms in the denominator which gives 3x7/4x2 = 21/8.

Then any further simplification possible is carried out. In this example there was no possibility of cancelations as there were no common factors and hence the fraction got by multiplying the numbers in the numerator and the numbers in the denominators would be the final answer. Similar set of steps are used while multiplying rational expressions.

Understanding Sample Size Definition is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

A rational expression  consist of coefficients which are constants for a given term and hence first the coefficient parts are simplified then the product of the variable parts in the numerator is found, then the product of the variable part in the denominator is found and finally the products are written in the simplified form. In this process we use exponential laws and common factors for simplification.

Let us consider an example for a better understanding. Multiply Rational Expressions 4x2y2/3x and 3x/4y.  The product of the given expressions would be,  4x2y2/3x . 3x/4y Here first the coefficients are simplified and any cancelations possible are carried out. 4 and 3 get canceled and we get x2y2/x . x/y, this can be written as x.x.y.y/x. x/y; x and y are the common factors which can be canceled and we get x2y which is the final answer. Here we can use the exponential rule in simplification.

To multiply rational expressions involving polynomials the steps to be followed are:
First factor the terms in the numerator and the denominator
Reduce all the common factors
Further simplify the terms by either multiplying the numerators and denominators or leave the product in the fraction form

Example: Multiply (x2-9)/(x2+6x+9) and (3x+9)/(3x-9)
Solution: First factor the terms in the numerator and denominator
(x2- 9)= (x+3)(x-3) [special products]
(x2+6x+9)= (x+3)(x+3) [(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2]
(3x+9)=3(x+3)                               [taking out common factor]
(3x-9) = 3(x-3)                               [taking out common factor]

The product of the expressions would be in the form, (x2-9)/(x2+6x+9) . (3x+9)/(3x-9)
Re-writing the given expressions as factors gives,
(x+3)(x-3)/(x+3)(x+3)  .  3(x+3)/(x-3)
Reducing the common factors gives,
(x+3)(x-3)/(x+3)(x+3)  .  3(x+3)/3(x-3)
Canceling the common terms gives 3/3 = 1, the final answer!
