(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

I agree with @TUMWINE PETER

The batsman on 98 is on strike. He hits the ball and they run 3. UNFORTUNATELY one of the batsmen doesn`t turn correctly for one of the runs and the umpire calls ONE SHORT and awards only two runs. Therefore the first batsman has his century. There is now 1 ball remaining and one run is required to win. The batsman on strike, however is now the one on 97 runs. He now either hits a 4 or a 6. They win the game and both batsmen scored centuries.

Read more: 3 runs required in 3 balls to win with only a wicket left. The batsmen is on 98 and the runner is on 97. How will both the batsmen score centuries … – 3 runs required in 3 balls to win with only a wicket left. The batsmen is on 98 and the runner is on 97. How will both the batsmen score centuries as well win the match ?

let the speed limit be x.
speed by first rider S1 and 2nd rider be S2.
S1=x+10;
ans S2=x+2*10; and given S2=35.
solving we get x=15mph.

Out of 10 persons, 4 are graduates; so, (10 – 4) = 6 are under-graduates.

If there is no restriction, any three can be chosen from the ten in (10C3) = 120 ways.

Now, if all three chosen are under-graduates; it can take place in (6C3) = 20 ways.

Therefore, the probability that there will be no graduate among the three chosen = (20 / 120) = (1 / 6).

Therefore, the probability that there will be at least one graduate among the three chosen = {1 – (1 / 6)} = (5 / 6) = 0.8333.
