number qs

If a and b are positive, and a+b = 1, then

(a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 is

a. ≥ 25/2

b. ≥ 25/4

c. ≤ 25/2

d. ≤ 25/4

Logic is simple above
Logic is simple above ‘ll minimum when a = b = 1/2

So the minimum value is 25/2

 

"simple" is only a perception.........

take a =1/10 nd b=9/10

(a+1/a)^2 >100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"simple" is only a perception.........

take a =1/10 nd b=9/10

(a+1/a)^2 >100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUMRAJ!!!!!!!!!!!

If a and b are positive, and a+b = 1, then

(a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 is

a. ≥ 25/2

b. ≥ 25/4

c. ≤ 25/2

d. ≤ 25/4

Sol. We know (a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 ≥ 2(a + 1/a)(b + 1/b)

(a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 ≥ 2(1 + ab)2 /ab

If a + b = 1, then max. value of ab is 1/4.

(a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 ≥ 2(1 + 1/4)2 /(1/4)

(a + 1/a)2 + (b + 1/b)2 ≥ 25/2
