(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

The definition of left and right depends on the observer and
is reversed when facing the opposite direction. The
definition of up and down does not depend on the orientation
of the observer.

time = distance / speed
speed = 36*(5/18) m/s=10m/s
distance = 100m
time=100/10s = 10sec

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
given l abd b as 18 cm and 26 cm
therefore perimeter of rectangle = 2(44)
perimeter of circle = 2*pi*r
given 2*pi*r=2(l+B)
i.e, 2*(22/7)*r= 2(44)
(22/7)*r=44
r=14 cms
area of the circle = pi*r*r
=(22/7)*14*14
=616 sqcm is the answer

Here is the ans with explanation…..
Just divide 48 hours into 8 parts…
for flowchart its 1/4 so it is 2/8 = 12hours
For Coding it is 3/8 = 18 hours
the rest is again 3/8 = 18 hours for debugging..

D also increases
D & T are directly proportional
