What is the amount of increase or decrease in a function usually written as a fraction?

Examples of fraction in the following topics:

• Fractions

• Complex Fractions

  • A complex fraction is one in which the numerator, denominator, or both are fractions, which can contain variables, constants, or both.
  • A complex fraction, also called a complex rational expression, is one in which the numerator, denominator, or both are fractions.
  • From previous sections, we know that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.
  • You'll find that the common denominator of the two fractions in the numerator is 6, and then you can add those two terms together to get a single fraction term in the larger fraction's numerator:
  • Recall, again, that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction:

• Mole Fraction and Mole Percent

  • Mole fractions are dimensionless, and the sum of all mole fractions in a given mixture is always equal to 1.
  • What is the mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture?
  • What is the mole fraction of NaCl?
  • We can now find the mole fraction of the sugar:
  • Mole fraction increases proportionally to mass fraction in a solution of sodium chloride.

• Fractions

  • A fraction represents a part of a whole.
  • Find a common denominator, and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction using that common denominator.
  • To subtract a fraction from a whole number or to subtract a whole number from a fraction, rewrite the whole number as a fraction and then follow the above process for subtracting fractions.
  • To multiply a fraction by a whole number, simply multiply that number by the numerator of the fraction:
  • The process for dividing a number by a fraction entails multiplying the number by the fraction's reciprocal.

• Fractions Involving Radicals

  • Root rationalization is a process by which any roots in the denominator of an irrational fraction are eliminated.
  • In mathematics, we are often given terms in the form of fractions with radicals in the numerator and/or denominator.
  • This same principal can be applied to fractions: whatever we do to the numerator, we must also do to the denominator, and vice versa.
  • You are given the fraction $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$, and you want to simplify it by eliminating the radical from the denominator.
  • Therefore, multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$, and watch how the radical expression disappears from the denominator:$\displaystyle \frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = {\frac{10\cdot\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^2}} = {\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}}$

• Entailment Discussion for 4th Grade Operations

  • For example, are there certain contexts when fractions representations are easier to operate with than decimal fractions?

• Calculating Values for Fractional Time Periods

  • The value of money and the balance of the account may be different when considering fractional time periods.
  • But what happens if we are dealing with fractional time periods?
  • In the case of fractional time periods, the devil is in the details.
  • You can plug in a fractional time period to the appropriate equation to find the FV or PV.
  • Calculate the future and present value of an account when a fraction of a compounding period has passed

• The Fractional Reserve System

  • A fractional reserve system is one in which banks hold reserves whose value is less than the sum of claims outstanding on those reserves.
  • This is called the fractional-reserve banking system: banks only hold a fraction of total deposits as cash on hand.
  • Because banks are only required to keep a fraction of their deposits in reserve and may loan out the rest, banks are able to create money.
  • Fractional-reserve banking ordinarily functions smoothly.
  • Examine the impact of fractional reserve banking on the money supply

• Partial Fractions

  • In algebra, partial fraction decomposition (sometimes called partial fraction expansion) is a procedure used to reduce the degree of either the numerator or the denominator of a rational function.
  • We can then write $R(x)$ as the sum of partial fractions:
  • We have rewritten the initial rational function in terms of partial fractions.
  • We have solved for each constant and have our partial fraction expansion:
  • There are some important cases to note, for which partial fraction decomposition becomes more complicated.

• Rational Algebraic Expressions

  • Then you rewrite the two fractions with this denominator.
  • The denominator in the second fraction can not be factored.
  • The first fraction has two factors: $y$ and $(x^2+2)$.
  • The second fraction has one factor: $(x^2 + 2)$.
  • We then rewrite both fractions with the common denominator.
