Question

EXPLAIN DIVIDENDO & COMPONENDO​

Answer 1

Answer:

Componendo and dividendo is a theorem on proportions that allows for a quick way to perform calculations and reduce the number of expansions needed. It is particularly useful when dealing with equations involving fractions or rational functions in mathematical Olympiads, especially when you see fractions.

Hope it's helps you please make me as a brainlist ☺️

Answer 2

Componendo :

It is a type of a property of proportion.

Here if,

→ a:b::c:d

which implies,

a/b = c/d

Here the given proportional can be written as,

(a + b): b:: (c + d) : d

which implies,

(a + b)/b = (c + d)/d

The above relationship is termed as

componendo ".

Now, let's take an example of componendo of property for better understanding,

If,

→ 2:5::6: 15

which implies,

→ - 2/5 = 6/15 =

Now by the componendo property we

have,

→ (2 + 5) :5::(6 + 15) : 15

which implies,

→ (2 + 5)/5 = (6 + 15)/15 =

→ (2 + 5)/5 = (6 + 15)/15 =→ 7/5 = 21/15

→ (2 + 5)/5 = (6 + 15)/15 =→ 7/5 = 21/15→ - 1.4 = 1.4

Dividendo :-

It is a type of a property of proportion.

Here if,

→ a: b::c:d

which implies,

→ - a/b = c/d =

Here the given proportional can be

written as,

→ (a - b): b:: (c - d) : d

which implies,

→ (a - b)/b = (c - d)/d

The above relationship is termed as ".

Dividendo

Now, let's take an example of componendo of property for better understanding,

If,

→ 2:5 ::6:15

which implies,

→ - 2/5 = 6/15

Now by the dividendo property we have,

→ (2-5): 5 :: (6 - 15) : 15

which implies,

→ (2 - 5)/5 = (6 - 15)/15

→ (2 - 5)/5 = (6 - 15)/15 → -3/5 = -9/15

→ (2 - 5)/5 = (6 - 15)/15 → -3/5 = -9/15→ -0.6 = -0.6
