Find ten rational numbers between
Question: Find ten rational numbers between $\frac{-2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$. Solution: L. C.M of the denominator $s(2$ and 5$)$ is 10 . We can write: $\frac{-2}{5}=\frac{-2 \times 2}{5 \times 2}=\frac{-4}{10}$ and $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}=\frac{5}{10}$ Since the integers between the numerators $(-4$ and 5$)$ of both the fractions are not sufficient, we will multiply the fractions by 2 . $\therefore \frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-4 \times 2}{10 \times 2}=\frac{-8}{20}$ $\frac{5}{10}=\fra...

Question: If $\sin \theta=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$, find the values of all T-ratios of $\theta$. Solution: We have $\sin \theta=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$, As, $\cos ^{2} \theta=1-\sin ^{2} \theta$ $=1-\left(\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\right)^{2}$ $=\frac{1}{1}-\frac{\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)^{2}}$ $=\frac{\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)^{2}-\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)^{2}}$ $=\frac{\left[\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)-\left(a^{2}-b^{2...

Question: Find ten rational numbers between $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$. Solution: The L.C.M of the denominators $(2$ and 4$)$ is 4 . So, we can write $\frac{1}{4}$ as it is. Also, $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2}=\frac{2}{4}$ As the integers between the numerators 1 and 2 of both the fractions are not sufficient, we will multiply the fractions by 20 . $\therefore \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1 \times 20}{4 \times 20}=\frac{20}{80}$ $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{2 \times 20}{4 \times 20}=\frac{40}{80}$ ...

Question: Find two rational numbers between $\frac{-2}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{9}$. Solution: Since both the fractions $\left(\frac{-2}{9}\right.$ and $\left.\frac{5}{9}\right)$ have the same denominator, the integers between the numerators $(-2$ and 5$)$ are $-1,0,1,2,3,4$. Hence, two rational numbers between $\frac{-2}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{9}$ are $\frac{0}{9}$ or 0 and $\frac{1}{9}$....
