In mathematics, the silver ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 70/29. Its exact value is 1 + √2, the positive solution of the equation x 2 = 2x + 1. The name silver ratio results from analogy with the golden ratio, the positive solution of the equation x 2 = x + 1.
If we solve this equation, we find that x = 2. More generally, we find that + + + + is the positive real root of the equation x 3 − x − n = 0 for all n > 0. For n = 1, this root is the plastic ratio ρ, approximately equal to 1.3247.
In this example, the ratio of adjacent terms in the blue sequence converges to L=1/2. We choose r = (L+1)/2 = 3/4. Then the blue sequence is dominated by the red sequence r k for all n ≥ 2. The red sequence converges, so the blue sequence does as well. Below is a proof of the validity of the generalized ratio test.
In mathematics, specifically in elementary arithmetic and elementary algebra, given an equation between two fractions or rational expressions, one can cross-multiply to simplify the equation or determine the value of a variable.

where c 1 = 1 / a 1 , c 2 = a 1 / a 2 , c 3 = a 2 / a 1 a 3 , and in general c n+1 = 1 / a n+1 c n . Second, if none of the partial denominators b i are zero we can use a similar procedure to choose another sequence {d i} to make each partial denominator a 1:
At year-end, we had total net debt of $2.3 billion, which, per our usual practice, excludes convertible debt of approximately $258 million compared to $2.2 billion for the same time last year.
The ratio of width to height of standard-definition television. In mathematics, a ratio (/ ˈ r eɪ ʃ (i) oʊ /) shows how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).
