Math Problem Statement

how does (1-(2/t))/(e^sqrt(t)/2sqrt(t)) = -2/e

Solution

To verify this equation, we need to simplify 12tet2t\frac{1 - \frac{2}{t}}{\frac{e^{\sqrt{t}}}{2\sqrt{t}}} and check if it equals 2e-\frac{2}{e}.

Let's start by simplifying the expression on the left side step by step.

Given: 12tet2t\frac{1 - \frac{2}{t}}{\frac{e^{\sqrt{t}}}{2\sqrt{t}}}

  1. Rewrite the expression: We can rewrite it as: (12t)÷(et2t)\left(1 - \frac{2}{t}\right) \div \left(\frac{e^{\sqrt{t}}}{2\sqrt{t}}\right) which is equivalent to: (12t)2tet\left(1 - \frac{2}{t}\right) \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}}

  2. Distribute 2tet\frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} over each term in the numerator: 2tet12tet2t\frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} \cdot 1 - \frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} \cdot \frac{2}{t}

  3. Simplify each term separately:

    • The first term is: 2tet\frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}}
    • For the second term, simplify 2t2tet\frac{2\sqrt{t} \cdot 2}{t \cdot e^{\sqrt{t}}}: 4ttet=4tet\frac{4\sqrt{t}}{t e^{\sqrt{t}}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{t} e^{\sqrt{t}}}
  4. Combine terms: Now, we have: 2tet4tet=2t4tet\frac{2\sqrt{t}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} - \frac{4}{\sqrt{t} e^{\sqrt{t}}} = \frac{2\sqrt{t} - \frac{4}{\sqrt{t}}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}}

  5. Combine into a single fraction in the numerator: Rewrite 2t4t2\sqrt{t} - \frac{4}{\sqrt{t}} as: 2t4t\frac{2t - 4}{\sqrt{t}} so the expression becomes: 2t4tet=2t4tet\frac{\frac{2t - 4}{\sqrt{t}}}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} = \frac{2t - 4}{\sqrt{t} e^{\sqrt{t}}}

  6. Factor out 2 in the numerator: 2(t2)tet\frac{2(t - 2)}{\sqrt{t} e^{\sqrt{t}}}

This simplification process does not directly lead to 2e-\frac{2}{e} unless there are specific values of tt that satisfy it. For a general tt, the expression does not simplify to 2e-\frac{2}{e}. However, if there is a specific value of tt intended in the problem, we can substitute it to check if the equation holds.

Would you like further clarification or to proceed with evaluating specific values of tt?


Here are some follow-up questions that may deepen understanding:

  1. What specific value of tt might satisfy this equation if any?
  2. How does simplifying complex expressions help in solving equations?
  3. What other methods could be used to verify equivalency for complex fractions?
  4. Is there a graphical approach to verify this equality visually?
  5. How does the behavior of exponential and radical functions affect limits in similar expressions?

Tip: When simplifying complex expressions, isolating terms or factoring can often reveal hidden simplifications.
