Since 17/20 are red, then $1 - (17 / 20) = 20 / 20 = 3 / 20$ are blue. This is equivalent to the decimal 0.15 or in percentage, 15%

I was thinking of functions who have differential equations in which the function is 'factorable' from first order differential equation. Eg: Functions satisfying the equation:

\frac{d y}{d x} = η (x) y (x)

Example functions:

y = e^{a x}, y = \frac{1}{1 - x}

.. etc
Now, I notice that the solution to the differential equation is:

y = e^{\int η d x}

But here is the interesting thing, the above expression has the same form of the function which is used when we solve linear differential equation

Edwin and Aldrin attempt to solve a problem that reduces to a quadratic equation. Edwin made a mistake only in the constant term of the quadratic equation and gives answers of - 3 and - 4 for the roots. Aldrin solving the same problem made a mistake in the coefficient of the first degree term and gives answers of 2 and 5 for the roots. If you check their solutions, what would be the correct quadratic equation?

Finding unknown in log equation
I was given a log equation:

D = 10 \log (I / I_{0})

I

is the unknown in this case,

I_{0} = 10^{- 12}

D = 89.3

I did the following steps:

\begin{aligned} 89.3 & = 10 \log (\frac{I}{10^{- 12}}) \\ \frac{89.3}{10} & = \log (\frac{I}{10^{- 12}}) \\ 8.93 & = \log (\frac{I}{10^{- 12}}) \end{aligned}

I'm not quite sure how to isolate I after step 3, and I'm also unsure if dividing

89.3 / 10

is correct as well. So how can I find the unknown (

Why does the same inequality give different answers?

\frac{1}{2} < x < 4

But when we take the second part alone that is

(\log_{2} (x) + 1) < 0

it gives a solution

0 < x < \frac{1}{2}

x > \frac{1}{2}

in the first case but

x < \frac{1}{2}

in the second case?

The limit of a sequence
Given

x_{n} = \frac{1}{n^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{n^{2} + 2} + \frac{1}{n^{2} + 3} + \dots + \frac{1}{n^{2} + n}

Verify if there is or no a limit. Find it if affirmative.
Let

a_{n} = \frac{n}{n^{2} + 1}

(The biggest portion of the sum

n

b_{n} = \frac{n}{n^{2} + n}

(the smallest portion of the sum

n

b_{n} \leq x_{n} \leq a_{n}

b_{n} \leq x_{n} \leq a_{n}

lim \frac{n}{n^{2} + 1} = lim \frac{n}{n^{2} + n} = 0,

lim x_{n} = 0.

Is this wrong? why? If it is, any tips on how to find
