The ratio between the molar mass of an alkene(A) and an alkyne(B) with the same number of carbon atoms is 1.05. Find the molecular formulas of the two hydrocarbons then write the reaction for how we can obtain the alkene A from the alkyne B.

We start by remembering the general formulas of alkenes and alkynes:
Alkenes - CnH2n
Alkynes - CnH2n-2
We calculate the molar mass of both of the...

How can we calculate the derivative of function f(x)= (x+2)/(x-1)?

In order to calculate the derivative of the given function, we need to apply the laws of derivation. Therefore:
f '(x) = ((x+2)/(x-1))'
f '(x) = [(x+2)' * (x-1) - (x+2) * (x-1)' ]/ (x-1)2

How can we solve a two-equation, two-unknown values?

If we have two equations that look like this:
a1 * x + b1 * y = c1
and
a2 * x + b2 * y = c2
where x,y are variables and a1,a2,b1,b2 are coeficients.
then we solve it using the fol...
