Chapter 2.5, Problem 6E Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 3 (a) The function is given as It is known that the positive integers obey various rules. The rule for generalization when the function is given in fraction is shown below: Substitute the value of m=3 and n equals -3 in the above generalized equation. = = Thus the generalized form of the given fraction is x6 Step 2 of 3 (b) The function is given as It is known that the positive integers obey various rules. First generalize the numerator and then generalize the fraction. The rule for generalization of the product is shown below: ) = Substitute the value of m=1/2 and n equals 1/3 in the above equation. X = Step 3 of 3 The fraction now becomes It is known that the positive integers obey various rules. The rule for generalization when the function is given in fraction is shown below: Substitute the value of m=5/6 and n equals 2/3 in the above generalized equation. = Thus the generalized form of the given fraction is
