In any conics (i.e., parabola or ellipse or hyperbola ), a line passing through its focus and parallel to its directrix is called the latus rectum. For example, in parabola: square of y = 4ax, the equation of the latus ractum y=a and its length = 4a; in ellipse: square of (x/a) + square of (y/b)=1,...

Hey Akshay try this for a change The positive rational numbers may be arranged in the form of a simple series as follows ( 1 / 1 ), ( 2 / 1 ), ( 1 / 2 ) , ( 3 / 1 ), ( 2 / 2 ), ( 1 / 3 ) , ( 4 / 1 ) , ( 3 / 2 ), ( 2 / 3), ( 1 / 4 ), ... Show that ( p / q ) is the [ ( 1 / 2 ) ( p + q - 1 ) ( p + q - 2 ) + q ] th term of the series. I see you like solving problems on mathematics so give it an honest try on your own Also to those boasting about years of experience in mathematics, please stop boasting about yourself before the rest of the teachers. If you are good, you are good and I do not doubt that. We all are here to help and not boast and this space is for questions only and not boasting. Hope you all keep this in mind.
As is visible, this relates to the partitioning of numbers without repetition. Let p+q = t Let us see the partitioning of 't' for 1st term 't' = 2 = 1+1 2nd term 3= 2+1 = 1+2 And so...
