Study Notes
Properties of Equal Ratios
- Invertendo: If two ratios are equal, then their reciprocals are also equal.
- Alternando: If two ratios are equal, then their alternate ratios are also equal.
- Dividendo: If two ratios are equal, then the ratio of their differences to their denominators is also equal.
- Componendo-Dividendo: If two ratios are equal, then the ratio of their sum to their difference is equal to the ratio of the sum of the corresponding terms of the other ratio to the difference of the corresponding terms.
Componendo
- Adding 1 to both sides of the equation $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ yields $\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}$
Dividendo
- Subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ yields $\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}$
Componendo-Dividendo
- This property is a combination of Componendo and Dividendo.
General Forms
-
Componendo: If $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$, then $\frac{a + mb}{b} = \frac{c + md}{d}$
-
Dividendo: If $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$, then $\frac{a-mb}{b} = \frac{c-md}{d}$
-
These general forms demonstrate the reversibility of Componendo and Dividendo operations.
