In summary, the function $\frac{x}{1-x(1-y)}$ does not have a tight upperbound. On the critical curve $x=1/(1-y)$, the function goes to negative infinity, and as $y\to 1/2$ and $x\to 2$, it goes to positive infinity. Additionally, when $y\to 0$ and $x\to 1$, the function blows up and there is no upper bound for it.

Hii Everyone,
Plz tell me a tight upperbound for \(\displaystyle \frac{x}{1-x\left(1-y\right)}
\) where o<=x,y<=1

regards,
Bincy

I don't think there is an upper or lower bound for that function. On the critical curve $x=1/(1-y)$, the function goes to negative infinity, and as, say, $y\to 1/2$ and $x\to 2$, the function goes to positive infinity.

Plz note that BOTH x and y are in between 0 and 1

Ah, my mistake. You still have a problem when $y\to 0$ and $x\to 1$. The function blows up there, and there is no upper bound on it.
 

FAQ: An upperbound for an algebraic expression

What is an upperbound for an algebraic expression?

An upperbound for an algebraic expression is the maximum possible value that the expression can have. It is the highest possible limit or bound for the expression.

How is an upperbound for an algebraic expression determined?

An upperbound for an algebraic expression can be determined by using various mathematical techniques such as finding the derivative, using the intermediate value theorem, or using the maximum or minimum value of a function.

Why is it important to find the upperbound for an algebraic expression?

It is important to find the upperbound for an algebraic expression as it helps in understanding the behavior and limitations of the expression. It also helps in determining the accuracy of calculations and making informed decisions.

Can an upperbound for an algebraic expression change?

Yes, an upperbound for an algebraic expression can change depending on the variables and constants involved in the expression. It can also change if the expression is simplified or manipulated in any way.

Are there any real-world applications of finding an upperbound for an algebraic expression?

Yes, finding an upperbound for an algebraic expression has many real-world applications. It can be used in economics to determine the maximum profit or loss of a business, in engineering to determine the maximum load a structure can bear, and in medicine to determine the maximum safe dosage of a medication.
