Basic rule is that:
a/b=c/d then, a+b/a-b = c+d/c-d
but suppose if we apply "componendo dividendo" just to the RHS TWICE, we get the original number... consider the example : 16/4 (which we know is equal to 4 or rather 4/1)
now applying componendo dividendo just once to 16/4 ,
we get 20/12 , then again applying componendo dividendo to
20/12 , we get 32/8 ,which is equal to 4/1 or 4.
but i know this is not even componendo -dividendo theorem,
but when we apply it twice to the RHS v get back the RHS...
this was quite useful when solving a trigonometry problem...but according to the teachers there is no such theory...so, not very useful.
so, the question is ,what is it that you find wrong with this "theory" i used.(if any,specify)...??
