A parabola is a conic section.
So cut a cone obliquely.

(x**2 – 6* x + 5) = (x-1)*(x-5)
(x**2 + 2 * x + 1) = (x + 1) * (x+1) = (x+1)**2
For what x is (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) a minimum?
One way to answer this question is by using calculus.
Take the derivative, and set to zero.
Since this is a fraction of polynomials, and a fraction is
zero only if it’s numerator is zero, we need calculate only
the numerator of the derivative and set it to zero.
The numerator of the
Derivative of (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) is
( (x-1) + (x-5) ) ( x+1)**2 – (x-1)(x-5)( 2 (x+1) )
= (2 x – 6) (x+1)**2 – (2) (x-1)(x-5) (x+1)
= 0
Divide through by 2 (x+1)
(x-3)(x+1) – (x-1)(x-5) = 0
(x**2 – 2 x – 3 ) – (x**2 – 6 x + 5) = 0
x**2 – x**2 – 2 x + 6 x – 3 – 5 = 0
4 x – 8 = 0
x = 2
Plugging in x = 2 into the original
(x**2-6*x+5)/(x**2+2*x+1)
gives us (2**2 – 6 * 2 + 5)/(2**2 + 2*2 + 1)
= (4 – 12 + 5) / (4 + 4 + 1) = -3/9 = -1/3
Least value is -1/3

A = 20k x 2y, B = 15k x 2y, C = 20k x 1.5y => 100Ky
B contribution = (15k x 2y) /100ky
B will get 0.3 from 25k which is 7.5k = 7500

(10×1000) / (2×3.1416×1.75) = 909 times (about)

Ans : 32

1.7% loss

3000(4x/100) + 5000(2x/100)=10

avg of 10nos.=23==>23*10=230
if each no increased by 4 ==> 4*10=40
then new avg is giveen by : 230+40=270
270/10=27
hence the new avg =27

That person’s struggle and dream to achieve something motivates the person.

LCM of 4,6,8 and 10 are 120
So, the least number of four digits is 120*9=1080 ( <1000 )

Solution:

life as a boy = 1/4
life as a youth = 1/8
life as an active man = 1/2
sum of life as boy, youth and active man = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 7/8
life as an old man = 1 − 7/8 = 1/8
1/8 Wrinkle’s life (as an old man) is 8 years.
and 1/2 = 1/8 *4
So, 1/2 Wrinkle’s Age (as active man) = 8*4 = 32years.

Reduction of 40% or 4/10th in price of bananas will lead to an increase of 4/(10 – 4) = 2/3rd part in quantity if expenditure is constant.
If original quantity is q, then :
2q/3 = 64
=> q = 64 x 3/2 = 96 = 8 dozens.
=> Original price per dozen = 40/8 = Rs 5
