SUB-TOPIC 1:
Subtract, 99x= 45
So, x= 45/99 = 5/11
METHOD 2 (Faster method):
[ Number (Digits which are not repeated) /As many 9s as the Number of digits
repeated followed by as many 0s as the number of digits not repeated ]
Here, 45 /99 = 5/11
Example: Convert 0.5424242... in rational number form.
METHOD 1:
x= 0.542424242...
10x= 5.42424242...
1000x= 542.424242...
subtracting last two,
990x= 537
x=537/990 = 179/330
METHOD 2:
[ Number (Digits which are not repeated) /As many 9s as the Number of digits
repeated followed by as many 0s as the number of digits not repeated ]
Here,
542 5 / 990 = 537/990 = 179/330
One more example:
x= 0.526484848....
1000x= 526.484848...
100000x= 52648.484848...
Subtracting last two,
99000x= 52122
x= 52122/99000 (reduce now)
Faster method:
[ Number (Digits which are not repeated) /As many 9s as the Number of digits
repeated followed by as many 0s as the number of digits not repeated ]
So, here
52648 526 / 99000 (as two digits repeated, hence two 9s, and three digits not
repeated, hence three 0s).
PERFECT NUMBERS: The numbers whose factors (except the number itself)
5) 1 and 8 are first such numbers for which 1+2+3+4+... +n is a perfect square.
Which is fourth such number?
6) Express 0.124898989... in the rational form (by faster method).
