(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

let the no be x
then given that the difference between the number and 3/5th
of the number is 50
therefor , x-3/5x=50
2x=250
x=125 is the answer

390

Ans. let x is distance from A to B
and y is initial speed.
30/y+(x-30)5/4y -x/y = 3/4
=> 4x-12y=120 —-(1).
45/y + (x-45)5/4y -x/y=3/5
=> 5x-12y=225 ——-(2).
From equ (1) and equ (2) we will get.
x=25 and y=105
so initial speed is 25 km/hr
and Distance From A to B is 105 km

120 (5×4!)

500

speed = 72 Kmph
Speed= 72 * 1000 / (60*60) m/s
speed= 72 * 5 / 18
speed= 20 m/s
time = 30 s
distance = 600 m

Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins

In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12

Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins

In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30

Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so

1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]

= 1/12 – 1/30

= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20

Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern
