How can you multiply fractions and mixed numbers?​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to multiply fractions and mixed numbers, you must first transform the mixed number into a single fraction (will most likely turn into an improper fraction).  An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Example:

Suppose that you were given the following fractions to multiply:

[tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{5}{7}\:\times\:2\frac{3}{5}}[/tex]

The first step is to transform the mixed fraction, [tex]\large\mathsf{2\:\frac{3}{5}}[/tex], into a single fraction.

You will have to multiply the denominator with the whole number, then add the numerator. The denominator does not change when you do this transformation processs.

The mixed fraction will now turn into the following improper fraction:

[tex]\large\mathsf{2\:\frac{3}{5}}[/tex]   ⇒  [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{13}{5}}[/tex]  

Now, you will be able to multiply [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{5}{7}}[/tex] and [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{13}{5}}[/tex]  together by multiplying the numerator, 5 and 13 and the denominator, 7 and 5.

[tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{5}{7}\:\times\:\frac{13}{5}\:=\:\frac{5\:\times\:13}{7\:\times\:5}\:=\:\frac{65}{35}}[/tex]

Since the product of the two fractions is an improper fraction, it is often customary to express the fraction into its lowest terms. Given the improper fraction, [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{65}{35}}[/tex], the greatest common factor between 65 and 35 is 5.

Hence, we could simply divide the numerator and the denominator by [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{5}{5}}[/tex] to simplify the fraction.

[tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{65}{35}\:\div\:\frac{5}{5}\:=\:\frac{13}{7}}[/tex]

Therefore, the final answer is: [tex]\large\mathsf{\frac{13}{7}}[/tex] .  To transform this improper fraction into a mixed number,  simply divide its numerator by the denominator, thereby resulting into the following mixed number:  [tex]\large\mathsf{1\:\frac{6}{7}}[/tex].

(d). Use an appropriate technique to find the derivative of the following functions:

(i) y = √4+3x²/ (x² +1)¹/³ . Pie^x

(ii) xy^3/1+ sec y= e^xy

[Verify your answer by MATHEMATICA and attach the printout of the commands and output]

Answers

(i) I would first suggest writing this function as a product of the functions,

[tex]\displaystyle y = fgh = (4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \pi^x[/tex]

then apply the product rule. Hopefully it's clear which function each of f, g, and h refer to.

We then have, using the power and chain rules,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{df}{dx} = \frac12 (4+3x^2)^{-1/2} \cdot 6x = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dg}{dx} = -\frac13 (x^2+1)^{-4/3} \cdot 2x = -\frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}}[/tex]

For the third function, we first rewrite in terms of the logarithmic and the exponential functions,

[tex]h = \pi^x = e^{\ln(\pi^x)} = e^{\ln(\pi)x}[/tex]

Then by the chain rule,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dx} = e^{\ln(\pi)x} \cdot \ln(\pi) = \ln(\pi) \pi^x[/tex]

By the product rule, we have

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{df}{dx}gh + f\frac{dg}{dx}h + fg\frac{dh}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \pi^x - (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}} \pi^x + (4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{-1/3} \ln(\pi) \pi^x[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2}} \frac{1}{(x^2+1)^{1/3}} \pi^x - (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{2x}{3(x^2+1)^{4/3}} \pi^x + (4+3x^2)^{1/2} \frac{1}{ (x^2+1)^{1/3}} \ln(\pi) \pi^x[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{\pi^x}{(4+3x^2)^{1/2} (x^2+1)^{1/3}} \left( 3x - \frac{2x(4+3x^2)}{3(x^2+1)} + (4+3x^2)\ln(\pi)\right)}[/tex]

You could simplify this further if you like.

In Mathematica, you can confirm this by running

D[(4+3x^2)^(1/2) (x^2+1)^(-1/3) Pi^x, x]

The immediate result likely won't match up with what we found earlier, so you could try getting a result that more closely resembles it by following up with Simplify or FullSimplify, as in

FullSimplify[%]

(% refers to the last output)

If it still doesn't match, you can try running

Reduce[<our result> == %, {}]

and if our answer is indeed correct, this will return True. (I don't have access to M at the moment, so I can't check for myself.)

(ii) Given

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{xy^3}{1+\sec(y)} = e^{xy}[/tex]

differentiating both sides with respect to x by the quotient and chain rules, taking y = y(x), gives

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(1+\sec(y))\left(y^3+3xy^2 \frac{dy}{dx}\right) - xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y) \frac{dy}{dx}}{(1+\sec(y))^2} = e^{xy} \left(y + x\frac{dy}{dx}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{y^3(1+\sec(y)) + 3xy^2(1+\sec(y)) \frac{dy}{dx} - xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y) \frac{dy}{dx}}{(1+\sec(y))^2} = ye^{xy} + xe^{xy}\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{y^3}{1+\sec(y)} + \frac{3xy^2}{1+\sec(y)} \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y)}{(1+\sec(y))^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = ye^{xy} + xe^{xy}\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \left(\frac{3xy^2}{1+\sec(y)} - \frac{xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y)}{(1+\sec(y))^2} - xe^{xy}\right) \frac{dy}{dx}= ye^{xy} - \frac{y^3}{1+\sec(y)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{ye^{xy} - \frac{y^3}{1+\sec(y)}}{\frac{3xy^2}{1+\sec(y)} - \frac{xy^3\sec(y)\tan(y)}{(1+\sec(y))^2} - xe^{xy}}[/tex]

which could be simplified further if you wish.

In M, off the top of my head I would suggest verifying this solution by

Solve[D[x*y[x]^3/(1 + Sec[y[x]]) == E^(x*y[x]), x], y'[x]]

but I'm not entirely sure that will work. If you're using version 12 or older (you can check by running $Version), you can use a ResourceFunction,

ResourceFunction["ImplicitD"][<our equation>, x]

but I'm not completely confident that I have the right syntax, so you might want to consult the documentation.

perpendicular to 8x - 2y = 5.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First consider the given line 8x = 2y - 5. This can be rewritten as

 

2y = 8x + 5

 

y = (8x + 5)/2 = 4x + 2.5

 

The line is y = 4x + 2.5. This is of the form y = mx + b.

 

On comparing, we see that the slope of the given line is m = 4

 

Now, we require to find the slope of a line perpendicular to this. Let its slope be m'.

 

We know that for two lines to be perpendicular, the product of the slopes = -1

 

So, m * m' = -1

 

4 * m' = -1

 

m' = -1/4

 

Answer: Slope of the perpendicular line is -1/4.

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-7, 5) and (7, 1)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2/7(x) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be stated as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of the function when x = 0).  To find the equation of the line, we'll start by finding the slope.

The slope can be expressed as [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}-{x_1}}[/tex]

Substituting in our coordinates, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{1 - 5}{7 - (-7)} = \frac{-4}{7 + 7} = \frac{-4}{14}[/tex], which can be simplified to [tex]-\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Plugging that back into our equation, we have y = [tex]-\frac{2}{7}[/tex]x + b

Now, to find b, we substitute in one of our sets of coordinates.  Let's use (-7, 5)

x = -7 and y = 5, which gives us:

[tex]5 = -\frac{2}{7} (-7) + b[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{2}{7} (-7) = 2[/tex], which gives us:

5 = 2 + b

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:

3 = b

Plugging that back into our equation, we have [tex]y = -\frac{2}{7} x + 3[/tex]

In one jar, I have two balls labelled 1 and 2 respectively. In a second jar, I have three balls labelled 0, 1 and 2 respectively. I draw one ball from each jar, multiply the numbers on the two balls together, and then calculate three to the power of that product, e.g. if I draw 1 and 2, I calculate 3^2=9. Let’s call this number X. What is the probability that the number 1,024 is an exact multiple of X?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a kind of trick question, actually.

with whatever we draw, we produce X values as power of 3.

to be precise, we can have only

3⁰ = 1

3¹ = 3

3² = 9

3⁴ = 81

due to the possible combinations of drawn numbers (e.g. 3 cannot be created by a multiplication of 0s, 1s and 2s).

so, mostly, these results cannot be exact factors of 1024.

1024 cannot be divided by 3, nor by 9 nor by 81.

but 1024 is a multiple of 1 (as is every number).

so, we are looking at the probability to get 0 as multiplication result of the numbers on the 2 drawn balls.

the only possibilities are

1 and 0

2 and 0
