The numerator of a fraction ismultiple of two numbers. One ofthe numbers is greater than theother by 2. The greater number issmaller than the denominator by4. If the denominator7C(C 7) is a constant, thenthe minimum value of the fractionIS

Answer»

let the denominator be x, therefore the numerator will be (x-4)(x-6)fraction =(x−4)(x−6)/x

what does (x-4)(x-6) tell you1) It tells us that x<4 and x>6, both terms will be negative and the value will be positive.2) At 4 and 6 it will be 03) AND at x as 5, the value will be NEGATIVEso lowest value will be at x = 5

(x−4)(x−6)/x

=(5−4)(5−6)/5

=−1/5
