Divide Complex Fractions


Complex fractions are having both the numerator and the denominator values. The complex fractions are also consists of number of rational fractions. The other names for the complex fractions are compound fractions. For example, `(1/3)/(2/3)` is called as the division complex fractions.  Complex fractions are also used for many of the arithmetic operations.

Example problem for divide complex fractions

The example problem for divide complex fractions is,

Problem 1: Divide the following complex fractions, `(2/3)/(3/8)` .

Solution:

Step 1: In the divide complex fractions, the first step is to we have to convert the given fraction into the following,

Multiply and Simplify


Multiplication is an one of the arithmetic operation which extending one number by another. In other words, multiplication is a product of one number to another number. Simplifying or reducing means to make a fraction as simple as possible. In other words, simplifying means both the denominator and numerator divided by the common number. For example `3/6` =`1/2` . Here 3 is a common divisor.

Example problems of multiply and simplify:

Multiplication problem 1:

Jack delivers 350 newspapers in a day. How many newspapers does he deliver in 8 days?

Solution:

How to Compute Variance


In probability theory and statistics, the variance is used as one of several descriptors of a distribution. In particular, the variance is one of the moments of a distribution. The variance is a parameter describing a theoretical probability distribution, while a sample of data from such a distribution can be used to construct an estimate of this variance: in the simplest cases this estimate can be the sample variance. (Source: Wikipedia)

I like to share this Calculate Sample Variance with you all through my article. 

How to Compute Variance - Examples


Example 1: In class 7 student’s height are as follows 144, 154, 175, 180, 165, 160, 170 centimeters. Compute the variance of given data. 
Solution:
Mean = Sum of all the elements in a data set / total number of elements in a data set
by adding and dividing by 7 to get
       `barx` = 1148 / 7 = 164
Table for getting the variance

xx – 164(x - 164 )2  
144-20400
154-10100
17511121
18016256
16511
160-416
170636
Total930

Formula to compute the variance is
`s^2 = 1/(N-1) sum_(i=1)^n (x_i-barx)^2`
Put all the values in the formula to get
930 / (7-1) = 155
Therefore variance is 155.

Example 2: In a class 9 student’s weight are 45, 50, 61, 85, 62, 72, 66, 75, 78 kilograms. Compute the variance of given data. 
Solution:
Mean = Sum of all the elements in a data set / total number of elements in a data set
Mean by adding and dividing by 9 to get
        x = 594 / 9 = 66
Table for getting the variance:
xx – 66(x - 66 )2  
45-21441

8519361
62-416
72636

75981
7812144
Total1360

Formula to find the variance is
`s^2 = 1/(N-1) sum_(i=1)^n (x_i-barx)^2` 
Put all the values in the formula to get
1360 / (9-1) = 170       
Therefore variance is 170

Subdivision In Math


Algebra is a subdivision in math, which comprises of infinite number of operations on equations, polynomials, inequalities, radicals, rational numbers, logarithms, etc. Sketching graphs for algebraic equations or function is also a part of algebra. Graphing is nothing but the pictorial view of the given function or equation to study their characteristics, it may be a line, parabola, hyperbola, curve, circle, etc. Graphing negative square root is also done in algebra. The procedure to graph negative square root  function with the graph is explained in the following sections.
                                             

Is this topic Negative Correlation Graph hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Procedure for graphing negative square root:


The procedure for graph negative square root function is given below,
Step 1: Consider the equations as y = `sqrtx` , 
Step 2:  y =`sqrtx` . Since the given equation is a function of x, let y =f(x).
Step 3: Therefore f(x) =` sqrtx`
Step 4: Substitute various values for ‘x’ and find corresponding f(x).
Step 5: Tabulate the values as columns x & f(x).  The values of x as -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, and for f(x), their corresponding  values. Positive values cannot be used, since they tend to become imaginary.
Step 6: The values in the table are the co-ordinates, graph them.
Step 7: Connect the points to find the shape of the function.

Graph for negative square root:


The graphs for the negative square root function is shown below,
1. Convert the given equation as
y = `sqrt(-x)`
Since the given equation is a function of y,
Let y =f(x).
Therefore
f(x) =`sqrt(-x)`
Substitute various values for ‘y’ and find corresponding f(y).
When x= -9
f(-3) = `sqrt(-(-9))`
3
 therefore the co-ordinates are (-9,3)

When x= -4
f(-2) = `sqrt(-(-4))` ,
2,
therefore the co-ordinates are (-4, 2)

When x= -1,
f(-1) = `sqrt(-1)` ,
1,
1, therefore the co-ordinates are (-1, 1)


I am planning to write more post on Selection Bias Example and What is Percentage?. Keep checking my blog.

When x= 0
f(0) =` sqrt(0)` ,
0,
0, therefore the co-ordinates are (0, 0)
Following the above procedure and the co-ordinates are,

                       graph negative square root
The graph for the above table is shown below,

Variable Selection


The variable selection represents that the process of assigning the variable to some values and functions. The differentiation process sometimes involve big functions on that time the reference variable is used to assign and then it process into the simple calculations. In this way some confusions exist for the students for which variable we can ssign and for which functions. In this article we are going to discuss about the variable selection process in detail with the applications of the differentiation and integration process.


Examples for the variable selection in integration




  • Review on the variable selection with the integrable function  `int tanh^-1 2theta ` `d theta`    
Solution:
Variable Selection:
Here the confusion exist for the variable selection.
Only one function exist  `tanh^-1 2theta`        
The another function is the constant term   1 d`theta`                   
Another one confusion
For which term we can take it as u and dv
If we choose u then it should be easily differentiable.
If we choose dv then it should be easily integrable.
u = `tanh^-1 2theta` and `(du)/(d theta)` = `theta` ;   dv = 1 d`theta`
du =` 1/(1-(2theta)^2) 2 d theta = 2/(1-4theta^2) d theta ` and  v = `theta` .
Therefore,
`int tanh^-1 2theta ` = `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta``int theta 2/(1-4theta^2)` d`theta`   = `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta``2int theta 1/(1-4theta^2)` d`theta` .
Let     u = `1-4theta^2`  
 `(du)/(d theta)` = -8`theta` ,
`(-1/8)` du = `theta` d`theta` .
 `int tanh^-1 2theta ` = `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta``2int theta 1/(1-4theta^2)` d`theta` .
 = `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta` `-` 2`int 1/(u) (-1/8)` du
= `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta` `+`    `(1/4) int 1/(u)` du
 =  `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta` `+`   ` (1/4) int ` `u^(-1)du`     
=    `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta` `+` `(1/4) (log u)` + C
 =   `theta`   `tanh^-1 2theta` `+` `1/4 log(1-4theta^2)` + C 



Problems for variable selection in differentiation




  • Review on the variable selection with the differentiable function `y = e^x [sin x + cos x]` calculate   `y'' - 2y' + y `         
Solution:
Given     `y = e^x [sin x + cos x]`           
The formula is given as
    `d/dx [f(x). g(x)] = f'(x).g(x) + f(x).g'(x)`      
or      `d/dx [u.v] = u'.v + u.v'`      
Variable Selection:
Here sometime one problem exist, which variable we can take to apply in the formula.
We can take any of them.
Take v = `sinx + cosx`  u =`e^x`     
     `v'`   = `cos x - sinx`   `u'` =`e^x`    

First Differentiation:
      `y' = u'.v + u.v'`
      `y' = e^x [sin x + cos x] + e^x[cos x - sin x]`
      `y' = e^x sin x + e^x cos x + e^x cos x - e^x sin x`    
      `y' = 2 e^x cos x `    

Second  Differentiation:
      `y'' = 2e^x [-sin x] + 2e^x[cos x ]`    
      `y'' = 2e^x cos x - 2e^x sin x`      
  `y'' - 2y' + y `  = ` 2e^x cos x - 2e^x sin x``+` `[-2( 2 e^x cos x)] ` `+ e^x sin x + e^x cos x`             
  `y'' - 2y' + y `  = ` 2e^x cos x - 2e^x sin x``-` `4 e^x cos x ` `+ e^x sin x + e^x cos x`             
  `y'' - 2y' + y `  = ` [2 - 4 + 1]e^x cos x + [1-2]e^x sin x`                    
  `y'' - 2y' + y `  = ` -e^x cos x - e^x sin x`   is the required solution.
