# What is the percent difference between 3 and 39 relative percent difference
Using this tool you can find the percent difference between any two values. So, we think you reached us looking for answers to questions like: 1) What is the percentage difference between 3 and 39? 2) What is the absolute difference between 3 and 39? Or may be: What is the percent difference between 3 and 39 relative percent difference
See the solution to these problems just after the Percent Difference Calculator below.
### Percent Difference Calculator
Please fill in (or change values of) the two first boxes below and get answers to any combination of values:
What is the percent difference between and ?
Answer: %
### How to work out percentage differences - Step by Step
To find the percent difference between two values x and y, use this formula:
% difference = |x - y| × 100% (|x| + |y|)/2
Where: x and y are two values of a give variable. Note that percent difference is not equivalent or equal to percent change. Percent change is used when comparing a new value to an old value where the old value is used as a reference. Percent difference is used just to compare two values without considering any order. It doesn't matter which of the two values is written first. That is why the absolute value(*) is often used. Percent difference is also called relative percent difference.
(*) Note: absolute value means that we must consider always a positive value as for example: |1|=1 (absolute value of 1 is 1) and |-1|= 1 (absolute value of minus 1 is also 1). See more about percent difference here.
Here are the solutions to the questions stated above:
### 1) What is the percentage difference between 3 and 39?
Use the above formula to find the percent difference between two numbers. So, replacing the given values, we have the percent difference equation
% Difference
= [(|39| - |3|) / (|3| + |39|)/2] x 100
= [(39 - 3) / (3 + 39) / 2] x 100
= [36 / 42 / 2] x 100
= (36 / 21) x 100
= 171.42857142857
Where: y = 3 and x = 39, so |y| = 3 and |x| = 39
### 2) What is the absolute difference between 3 and 39?
This problem is not about percent difference, but about absolute difference:
The absolute difference of two real numbers x, y is given by |x − y|, the absolute value of their difference. The minus sign denotes subtraction and |z| means absolute value. Absolute difference describes the distance between the points corresponding to x and y on the real line.
Now that you know what is absolute difference, The solution is very simple:
absolute difference = |Y - X|
= |39 - 3| = |39 - 3| = 36

# What are the number of necklaces made from 7 beads of different color?
Contents
## How many necklaces can be formed with a different Coloured beads?
2520 Ways 8 beads of different colours be strung as a necklace if can be wear from both side.
## How many necklaces can you make with 10 beads of colors?
This is easy: count all permutations of 10 beads, 10!, then divide by 20 because we counted each permutation 10 times due to rotation, and counted each of these twice because you can flip the necklace over. Thus the answer is 10!/20 = 181440.
## How many different necklaces can be formed using 9 different Coloured beads?
This leaves us with 18,150 – 6 = 18,144 strings. The total number of necklaces we can form with these strings is 18,144 ÷ 9 = 2016.
## What are the number of ways in which 10 beads can be arranged to form a necklace?
Answer: This is called a cyclic permutation. The formula for this is simply (n-1)!/2, since all the beads are identical. Hence, the answer is 9!/2 = 362880/2 = 181440.
THIS IS AMAZING: How many commandments are in Mosaic law?
## How many necklace of 12 beads each can be made from 18 beads of different Colours?
Correct Option: C
First, we can select 12 beads out of 18 beads in 18C12 ways. Now, these 12 beads can make a necklace in 11! / 2 ways as clockwise and anti-clockwise arrangements are same. So, required number of ways = [ 18C12 . 11! ] / 2!
## How many ways can 12 beads be arranged on a bracket?
12 different beads can be arranged among themselves in a circular order in (12-1)!= 11! Ways. Now, in the case of necklace, there is not distinction between clockwise and anti-clockwise arrangements.
## How many necklaces can be formed with 6 white and 5 red beads if each necklace is unique how many can be formed?
5! but correct answer is 21.
6P6 = 720 or 6!
## How many different bangles can be formed from 8 different colored beads?
How many different bangles can be formed from 8 different colored beads? Answer: 5,040 bangles .
## How many ways can you make a bracelet with 5 different beads?
Thus for n=5, there are possible 4!/2=12 different bracelets. |
# 2018 AMC 10A Problems/Problem 12
## Problem
How many ordered pairs of real numbers $(x,y)$ satisfy the following system of equations? $$x+3y=3$$ $$\big||x|-|y|\big|=1$$ $\textbf{(A) } 1 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 2 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 3 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 4 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 8$
## Solution
The graph looks something like this: $[asy] draw((-3,0)--(3,0), Arrows); draw((0,-3)--(0,3), Arrows); draw((2,3)--(0,1)--(-2,3), blue); draw((-3,2)--(-1,0)--(-3,-2), blue); draw((-2,-3)--(0,-1)--(2,-3), blue); draw((3,-2)--(1,0)--(3,2), blue); draw((-3,2)--(3,0), red); dot((-3,2)); dot((3,0)); dot((0,1)); [/asy]$
Now it's clear that there are $\boxed{3}$ intersection points. (pinetree1)
x+3y=3 can be rewritten to x=3-3y. Substituting 3-3y for x in the second equation will give ||3-3y|-y|=1. Splitting this question into casework for the ranges of y will give us the total number of solutions.
Case 1: y>1
3-3y will be negative so |3-3y| = 3y-3. |3y-3-y| = |2y-3| = 1
Subcase 1: y>3/2
2y-3 is positive so 2y-3 = 1 and y = 2 and x = 3-3(2) = -3
Subcase 2: 1<y<3/2
2y-3 is negative so |2y-3| = 3-2y = 1. 2y = 2 and so there are no solutions (y can't equal to 1)
Case 2: y = 1 x = 0
Case 3: y<1
3-3y will be positive so |3-3y-y| = |3-4y| = 1
Subcase 1: y>4/3
3-4y will be negative so 4y-3 = 1 --> 4y = 4. There are no solutions (again, y can't equal to 1)
Subcase 2: y<4/3
3-4y will be positive so 3-4y = 1 --> 4y = 2. y = 1/2 and x = 3/2
NOTE: Please fix this up using latex I have no idea how

### New York State Common Core Math Module 1, Grade 6, Lesson 16
Lesson 16 Student Outcomes
• Students recognize that they can associate a ratio of two quantities, such as the ratio of miles per hour is 5:2, to another quantity called the rate.
• Given a ratio, students precisely identify the associated rate. They identify the unit rate and the rate unit.
Lesson 16 Summary
• A ratio of two quantities, such as 5 miles per 2 hours, can be written as another quantity called a rate.
• The numerical part of the rate is called the unit rate and is simply the value of the ratio, in this case 2:5. This means that in 1 hour, the car travels 2. 5 miles. The unit for the rate is miles/hour, read “miles per hour”.

The inverse is $A=\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$.
Consider the given matrix, $A=\left[ \begin{matrix} -2 & 1 & -1 \\ -5 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & -1 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ We have to find the inverse of matrix $A$ by using a calculator. We will follow the steps given below: (1) We select the matrix $A$ from the matrix edit menu and then enter or accept the dimensions. (2) Use ${{2}^{nd}}$ and press the matrix button. (3) Select the matrix $A$ and use the function ${{X}^{-1}}$ for the inverse of matrix $A$ and press enter. (4) We find the ${{A}^{-1}}$ Therefore, the inverse of the matrix $A$ is $A=\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Now, check the result: show that we can multiply matrix $A$ with ${{A}^{-1}}$ to obtain the identity matrix. Hence, the inverse of the given matrix is correct. |
# Distance - Rate - Time – Different Directions06:36 minutes
Video Transcript
## TranscriptDistance - Rate - Time – Different Directions
Tim Carcrashian, true to his name, works for a vehicle crash testing company. His job is to set up the slow-motion-camera used to document car crashes. The set-up of the camera is very expensive and time-consuming. To do the job just right, Tim needs to know exactly when and where the cars will crash. How can we help him?
### The distance-rate-time pyramid
This is a distance-rate-time problem - with cars coming from different directions. For the test crash, Car 1 and Car 2 will drive towards each other. Car 1 will pass Point A going 50 miles per hour, and Car 2 will pass Point B going 70 miles per hour. The distance from Point A to Point B is 1.2 miles.
Exactly where and when will the cars crash? Let’s figure out how to solve this problem. Distance is equal to rate times time. This pyramid can help us remember the formula. A shorter, more common, way to say this d = rt.
### Write equations
Ok, let's get started...It's a good idea to use a table to organize the data. First, let's fill in the values with what we already know, the rate for each car. We don’t know the value for time yet, just that it's the same for both cars, so for now, we can represent this with the variable, 't'. We can write two equations to describe what's going on here: d = 50t. And...d = 70t.
Let's write that information into the table. Since we know the total distance the two cars will a travel together is 1.2 miles, we can set up an equation and solve for the unknown time. 1.2 = 50t + 70t. Evaluating this we get: t = 1/100 of an hour. Let's fill in the table... Now, we can use the value we just calculated for the time to determine the actual distances both cars will drive before crashing and fill in the table.
d = 50(0.01), which is equal to 0.5
d = 70(0.01), giving us 0.7
### The distance-rate-time formula
This is just great! Tim is so happy! Using the distance-rate-time formula, coming from different directions, now, Tim knows Car 1 will drive exactly 1/2 of a mile and Car 2 will drive 7/10 of a mile, then crash, bang, boom! As a bonus, Tim also knows exactly when this will happen. The cars will crash after 36 seconds, which is equal to 1/100 of an hour. He sets up the Slow-Motion-Camera Unit just right. He’s so good at his job, maybe he'll get a promotion and a big raise!
Oh no. One week later, Tim learns the test track will be under construction in order to improve the testing conditions. During construction, the right side of the track will be shortened. Instead of the track having a distance of 1/2 of a mile on the left side and 7/10 of a mile on the right side...
### Calculate a new rate
The right side will be only 4/10 of a mile long. Tim doesn't want to change the set-up of the camera. What can he do so the cars will still crash at the same place and time? He can't change the distance or the time, but he can change the speed of Car 2. Let's calculate the new rate using the distance-rate time formula.
As before, we have d = rt. To isolate the rate, divide distance by time. r = 0.4 / 0.01. The rate is 40 miles per hour. So, if Car 2 travels on the track at a rate of 40 miles per hour for 4/10 of a mile, after 1/100 of an hour, the two cars will crash in just the right spot.
### Change the distance
Another week goes by... Tim gets an email... The track improvements are all done, and the new plan is to crash test one of the cars driving at a very high speed. Car 2 will be tested driving 90 miles per hour. Tim doesn't have time to change the camera. What should he do? He can't change the speed or the time, but he can change the distance Car 2 will drive.
If Car 2 drives 90 miles per hour for 1/100 of an hour, use the distance-rate-time formula to calculate the new distance it must drive so the camera can capture the crash. Let's reuse our formula from before: distance is equal to rate times time. 90(0.01) = 0.9 miles. So Tim can get the perfect camera shot, Car 2 must drive 9/10 of a mile at 90 miles per hour for 1/100 of an hour .
### Summary
Let's summarize: The distance-rate-time pyramid is a handy graphic organizer to help you remember and understand how to solve these kind of problems. t = d/r, r = d/t, d = rt. After all his hard work, Tim can finally watch the crash test. Oh no, that's not test Car 2...That looks a lot like Tim's boss' car...

• #### Determine when and where the car will crash.
##### Hints
Fill in the table:
$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline &r&t&d\\ \hline \text{car 1}&50&t&?\\ \hline \text{car 2}&70&t&?\\ \hline \end{array}$
Don't forget the mnemonic device.
Determine the unknown quantity, and use the appropriate equation:
• $d=r\times t$
• $r=\frac dt$
• $t=\frac dr$
The sum of the distances is equal to $1.2$ (miles).
##### Solution
The red car travels at $50$ mph, while the blue car travels in the opposite direction at $70$ mph.
This is a distance-rate-time-problem with different directions.
$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline &r&t&d\\ \hline \text{car 1}&50&t&50t\\ \hline \text{car 2}&70&t&70t\\ \hline \end{array}$
Use the equation $d=r\times t$.
Since the car cannot travel a distance greater than $1.2$ miles, we write the equation:
$\begin{array}{rclcl} 50t+70t & = & 1.2 &&|\text{Combine Like Terms} \\ 120t&=&1.2 \\ \color{#669900}{\div120} && \color{#669900}{\div120} &&|\text{Opposite Operations} \\ t &=& 0.01 \end{array}$
$t=0.01$ is the time in hours. If we want to know how many seconds this is, we can calculate the conversion. There are $60$ minutes in an hour and $60$ seconds for every minute. Multiply... there are $3,600$ seconds in one hour.
$\begin{array}{rcll} \dfrac{60 ~\text{min.}}{1 ~\text{hr.}} \times \dfrac{60 ~\text{sec.}}{1 ~\text{min.}} &=& \dfrac{3,600 ~\text{sec.}}{1 ~\text{hr.}} \end{array}$
$~$
$\dfrac{3,600 ~\text{ sec.}}{1 ~\text{ hr.}}\times 0.01 ~\text{ hr.} = 36 ~\text{ sec.}$
Now we know that the crash will happen after $36$ seconds.
To find out where the crash will occur, we use the equation $d=r\times t$. Plugging in the known values gives us:
$d = \dfrac{50 ~\text{mi.}} {\text{hr.}} \times 0.01 ~\text{hr.} = 0.5~\text{mi.}$ for the red car
$d = \dfrac{70 ~\text{mi.}} {\text{hr.}} \times 0.01 ~\text{hr.} = 0.7~\text{mi.}$ for the blue car
To document the crash, Johnny has to set up the camera $0.5$ miles far away from Point A.
• #### Calculate the rate at which the car travels.
##### Hints
Keep this triangle in mind - it's magic.
If it takes $0.5$ hours to travel a distance of $30$ miles, the rate is $60$ mph.
##### Solution
You can remember the formulas by using the Distance Rate Time Triangle.
Here we know
• Time: $t=0.01$ hours
• Distance: $0.4$ miles
We need to know the rate of the blue car, so we choose the formula in the middle $r=\frac dt$.
By plugging in the known values, we get:
$r=\frac{0.4~\text{mi.}}{0.01~\text{hr.}}=40 ~\text{mph.}$
• #### Evaluate the time, if the rate changes.
##### Hints
First gather all given information:
• $r=80$
• $t=0.01$
Decide which formula to use.
If you already know the rate and the time, use $d=r\times t$ to find the distance.
For example:
The given information:
• $r=90$
• $t=0.01$
To calculate the distance, we can calculate:
$d = rt$ $d=90\times 0.01=0.9$ miles
##### Solution
The speed of the blue car is increased to $80$ mph.
Johnny's a bit lazy and doesn't want to change the camera position. He can't change the rate or the time, but he can change the distance: To figure this out, use the equation: $d=r\times t$.
Given:
• Rate: $80$ mph
• Time: $0.01$ hrs.
$d=80\times 0.01=0.8$
So the blue car must be a distance of $0.8$ miles from the crash point. The distance between the two cars at the start is $0.5+0.8=1.3$ miles.
• #### Find out when and where the two brothers will meet.
##### Hints
This is a distance, rate, and time problem with different directions.
Use the formula $d=r\times t$.
Keep in mind that the sum of the distances traveled is $3$ miles.
Use the opposite operations:
• Multiplication ($\times~\longleftrightarrow~\div$)
• Division ($\div~\longleftrightarrow~\times$)
• Addition ($+~\longleftrightarrow~-$)
• Subtraction ($-~\longleftrightarrow~+$)
You have to calculate the time first, and then you can calculate the distance.
##### Solution
Eugene is riding his bike at a rate of $10$ mph, while Shane is running at a rate of $2$ mph.
Here we have a distance rate time problem involving different directions.
First let's consider the distance. We know that $d=r\times t$, and the time $t$ is unknown.
• $d=10t$ for Eugene
• $d=2t$ for Shane
But, we do know the total distance, so we can write the equation:
$10t+2t=3$
Combine the like terms: $12t=3$. Finally, divide by $12$: $t=\frac3{12}=\frac14=0.25$ hours.
So the brothers will meet after $0.25$ hours or $15$ minutes.
To determine the distance each boy will travel, we use the formula $d=r\times t$ once again:
• Eugene: $d=10\times 0.25=2.5$ miles
• Shane: $d=2\times 0.25=0.5$ miles
In summary:
• We know that the brothers will meet after 15 minutes.
• Eugene starts $2.5$ miles away from the meeting point.
• Shane starts $0.5$ miles away from the meeting point.
• #### Summarize the distance, rate, and time problem.
##### Hints
Use the magic triangle:
• $d$ over $r$ as well as $d$ over $t$
• $r$ and $t$ on the same level
Remember what the variables stand for:
• Distance
• Rate
• Time
##### Solution
To solve problems, use the Distance Rate Time triangle.
• Distance
• Rate
• Time
Starting at the top, if we want to calculate distance, $d$, we can see that $r$ and $t$ are on the same level. So our equation is modified: $d=r\times t$. To calculate the rate, $r$, we look at the other two variables, $d$ and $t$. $d$ stands over $t$ in the triangle, so we have $r=\frac dt$. To find time, $t$, we notice that $d$ is over $r$, so our final equation is: $t=\frac dr$.
• #### Determine when Jim has to leave his home to make it to his appointments on time.
##### Hints
First determine the time, $t$, Jim needs to travel each distance. You should use the following equation:
$t=\frac dr$
Next, calculate the time in hours. Convert to minutes if necessary.
Subtract your answer from the time Jim plans to arrive at each destination. Remember, there are $60$ minutes in an hour.
##### Solution
What do we know?
• The distance from Jim's house to each destination
• Jim's walking rate is $2$ mph
To calculate the time it takes Jim to travel to each of these destinations, we use the formula $t=\frac dr$.
School Distance = $0.8$ miles
$t=\frac{0.8}{2}=0.4$ hours. Multiply by 60: $t=0.4\times 60=24$ minutes.
Subtract $24$ minutes from the arrival time:
$8:00-0:24=7:36$ a.m.
To get to school on time, Jim has to leave his house by $7:36$ a.m.
Grandma's House Distance = $1$ mile
$t=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ hours. Again, multiply by $60$: $t=0.5\times 60=30$ minutes.
Subtracting $30$ minutes from the arrival time gives us:
$10:00-0:30=9:30$ a.m.
Jim has to leave by $9:30$ a.m. to get to his grandma's house by $10:00$ a.m.
Jack Distance = $3$ miles
$t=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ hours or, $1$ hour and $30$ minutes.
Subtract this time from the arrival time (We used the $24$-hour clock for convenience.):
$14:00-1:30=12:30$, or 12:30 pm.
Jim has to leave by 12:30 p.m. to meet Jack at $2$ p.m.
Cinema Distance = $4$ miles
Oh, what a day. Jim deserves a little bit of time to kick back and relax. To get to the movies on time, he has to start $t=\frac42=2$ hours before the film starts playing. So he should leave his house at $6$ p.m. He walks $2$ hours to watch a movie!? I hope it's a good movie! |
# How many terms of the A.P. are needed to give the sum –25?
Question:
How many terms of the A.P. $-6,-\frac{11}{2},-5, \ldots$ are needed to give the sum $-25 ?$
Solution:
Let the sum of n terms of the given A.P. be –25.
It is known that, $S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$, where $n=$ number of terms, $a=$ first term, and $d=$ common difference
Here, $a=-6$
$d=-\frac{11}{2}+6=\frac{-11+12}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, we obtain
$-25=\frac{n}{2}\left[2 \times(-6)+(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$
$\Rightarrow-50=n\left[-12+\frac{n}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow-50=n\left[-\frac{25}{2}+\frac{n}{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow-100=n(-25+n)$
$\Rightarrow n^{2}-25 n+100=0$
$\Rightarrow n^{2}-5 n-20 n+100=0$
$\Rightarrow n(n-5)-20(n-5)=0$
$\Rightarrow n=20$ or 5 |

Given that [−1, −6, −6 and 0, −2, −4 and 2, 4, 7] [𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧] = [−8, 2, −9], find the values of 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝑧.

### Video Transcript
Given that the product of a three-by-three matrix with elements negative one, negative six, negative six, zero, negative two, negative four, two, four, and seven and a vector containing elements 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝑧 is equal to the vector containing elements negative eight, two, and negative nine, find the values of 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝑧.
We know that if matrix 𝐴 is multiplied by vector 𝐗 and it equals vector 𝐁, that vector 𝐗 equals the inverse matrix of 𝐴 multiplied by vector 𝐁. We should also remember that order matters. We cannot multiply 𝐁 by the inverse matrix of 𝐴. We must multiply it in this order, the inverse of 𝐴 times 𝐁. This means that our first step is to find the inverse of matrix 𝐴.
You could use a graphing calculator to help you do this step. But we will take a look at how to do the steps by hand without a graphing calculator. This is a multistep process and will be the most complex part of solving this problem.
The first step in finding the inverse of matrix 𝐴, if the inverse exists, is to find the cofactor matrix, 𝐶, equal to the three-by-three matrix 𝐶 sub 𝑖𝑗, whose entries are the determinants of the corresponding matrix minors multiplied by the alternating sign, negative one, to the power of 𝑖 plus 𝑗. Then, we transpose the cofactor matrix to find the adjugate matrix, sometimes referred to as the classical adjoint matrix. Then, we will calculate the determinant of 𝐴 and multiply the adjugate matrix by the reciprocal of the determinant. Since 𝐴 is a three-by-three matrix, we must use the following formula to find the three-by-three cofactor matrix.
Notice the pattern of alternating positive and negative signs in front of each determinant. If we assign the wrong sign to one element, it can completely change our final result.
To begin, we find the determinant in the first row, first column. We look to matrix 𝐴 to find the four elements in the 𝑒-, 𝑓-, ℎ-, and 𝑖-positions. These are negative two, negative four, four, and seven. To calculate the determinant, we multiply the top-left element by the bottom-right element. And then we subtract the bottom-left element multiplied by the top-right element. And so the first element of our cofactor matrix is found by negative two times seven minus four times negative four, which is negative 14 minus negative 16, which equals positive two. So the top-left element in our new matrix is going to be positive two.
The determinant from the first row, second column would then look like this: zero times seven minus two times negative four, which is zero minus negative eight, which equals positive eight. Notice, however, that because of its position in the cofactor matrix, we need to apply a negative sign. So that element in the first row, second column is negative eight.
Now we’re looking for the element in the first row, third column: zero times four minus two times negative two. This element comes out to positive four. Let’s repeat this process for the second row of cofactors. The signs for this row are negative, positive, negative. The first determinant in this row comes out to negative 18. But we need to take the negative of negative 18. And so we have positive 18 in the second row, first column position.
In the second row, second column, we have positive five. And the determinant in the second row, third column comes out to positive eight. But we need to take the negative of that value. So this element will actually be negative eight.
And finally we’ll calculate the determinants in the third row using first a positive sign, then negative, then positive again. For the third row, first column, we get positive 12. In the third row, second column, we get four. But we need to multiply that by negative one, which gives us negative four. And in the final position, we get positive two.
We now have our complete cofactor matrix. Our next step is to find the adjugate matrix. We do this by transposing the rows and the columns. And that looks like a reflection across the diagonal. The elements along the diagonal remain the same. But we’ll switch the negative eight and positive 18, the four with the 12, and the negative eight with the negative four. So the adjugate of matrix 𝐴 is two, 18, 12, negative eight, five, negative four, four, negative eight, two.
Our final step is to then multiply the adjugate matrix by the reciprocal of the determinant of the original matrix 𝐴. To calculate the determinant, we can use this formula. We’ll multiply each element in the top row by the matching cofactors we found in the previous step. The determinant of the first row, first column was two. The first row, second column was eight. And the first row, third column was four. The expression simplifies to negative two plus 48 minus 24. So the determinant of 𝐴 is 22. So the reciprocal of the determinant of matrix 𝐴 is then one over 22. Altogether, the inverse of matrix 𝐴 is one over 22 times the adjugate.
After multiplying each element by one over 22, the product looks like this. As we originally said, to solve this system, we need to calculate the inverse of matrix 𝐴 times 𝐁. The resulting array will contain three elements: a value for 𝑥, a value for 𝑦, and a value for 𝑧.
To find 𝑥, we multiply negative eight by one over 11, two by nine over 11, and negative nine by six over 11, then find the sum of these products. This expression simplifies to negative 44 over 11. So the value of 𝑥 is negative four.
The value of 𝑦 is found by calculating negative eight times negative four over 11 plus two times five over 22 plus negative nine times negative two over 11, which simplifies to 55 over 11. So 𝑦 is equal to positive five.
And finally to solve for 𝑧, we must calculate negative eight times two over 11 plus two times negative four over 11 plus negative nine times one over 11. This expression simplifies to negative 33 over 11. So 𝑧 is equal to negative three.
Therefore, under these conditions, 𝑥 is equal to negative four, 𝑦 is equal to five, and 𝑧 is equal to negative three.

Simplifying Radicals Topic Index | Algebra Index | Regents Exam Prep Center
(For this lesson, the term "radical" will refer only to "square root".)
When working with the simplification of radicals you must remember some basic information about perfect square numbers.
You need to remember:
Perfect Squares 4 = 2 x 2 9 = 3 x 3 16 = 4 x 4 25 = 5 x 5 36 = 6 x 6 49 = 7 x 7 64 = 8 x 8 81 = 9 x 9 100 = 10 x 10
Radicals (square roots) = 2 = 3 = 4 = 5 = 6 = 7 = 8 = 9 = 10
While there are certainly many more perfect squares, the ones appearing in the charts above are the ones most commonly used.
To simplify means to find another expression with the same value. It does not mean to find a decimal approximation.
To simplify (or reduce) a radical:
1. Find the largest perfect square which will divide evenly into the number under your radical sign. This means that when you divide, you get no remainders, no decimals, no fractions.
Reduce: the largest perfect square that divides evenly into 48 is 16.
If the number under your radical cannot be divided evenly by any of the perfect squares, your radical is already in simplest form and cannot be reduced further.
2. Write the number appearing under your radical as the product (multiplication)
3. Give each number in the product its own radical sign.
4. Reduce the "perfect" radical which you have now created.
What happens if I do not choose the largest perfect square to start the process?
If instead of choosing 16 as the largest perfect square to start this process,
you choose 4, look what happens.....
Unfortunately, this answer is not in simplest form.
The 12 can also be divided by the perfect square (4).
If you do not choose the largest perfect square to start the process, you will have to repeat the process.
Example:
Reduce:
Don't let the number in front of the radical distract you.
It is simply "along for the ride" and will be multiplied times our final answer.
The largest perfect square dividing evenly into 50 is 25.
Reduce the "perfect" radical and multiply times the 3 (who is "along for the ride")
Note: The examples shown in these lessons on radicals show ALL of the steps in the process. It may NOT be necessary for you to list EVERY step. As long as you understand the process and can arrive at the correct answer, you are ALL SET!!

# Working with formulas
## 22.4 Working with formulas
In science and in many other fields of work, we need to be able to work with formulas. For example, if you know the area of a square and need to find its side length, you can rearrange the formula to make the side length the subject of the formula. In other words, you solve the equation for the variable that you need.
The formula for the area of a square is:
$A = s^{2}$
where $$A$$ is the area of the square and $$s$$ is the side of the square.
We need to solve this equation for $$s$$. To find $$s$$, we use the inverse operation, which is the square root:
\begin{align} \sqrt{A} &= \sqrt{s^{2}} \\ &= s \\ \therefore s &= \sqrt{A} \end{align}
So if the area of a square is $$25 \text{ cm}^2$$, then the side length is $$s = \sqrt{25} = 5 \text{ cm}$$.
## Worked Example 22.4 Working with formulas
Use this equation to find a formula for $$a$$.
$F = ma$
We need to rearrange the given equation in order to have just $$a$$ on its own.
### Use inverse operations to rearrange the equation.
Divide both sides by $$m$$.
$\frac{F}{m} = \frac{ma}{m}$
### Simplify.
$\frac{F}{m} = a$
### Switch the two sides around.
$a = \frac{F}{m}$
You now have a formula that you can solve to find values for $$a$$.
## Worked Example 22.5 Working with formulas
Find a formula for $$V$$.
$C = \frac{n}{V}$
We need to rearrange the given equation in order to have $$V$$ on its own.
### Use inverse operations to rearrange the equation.
Multiply both sides by $$V$$ and simplify.
\begin{align} CV &= \left( \frac{n}{V} \right)V \\ &= n \end{align}
### Divide both sides by $$C$$ and simplify.
\begin{align} \frac{CV}{C} &= \frac{n}{C} \\ V &= \frac{n}{C} \end{align}
You now have a formula for $$V$$.

# Rational Inequality
How to solve a rational inequality: 2 examples and their solutions.
## Example 1
### Solution
Before solving the inequality,
first set (denominator) ≠ 0.
Excluded Value
See 1/x.
The denominator is x.
So x ≠ 0.
Next, see 1/2x.
The denominator is 2x.
So 2x ≠ 0.
Then x ≠ 0.
From the denominators,
you found that
x ≠ 0.
The x values should satisfy this condition.
Next, solve the rational inequality.
First, find the least common multiple, LCM,
of the denominators.
The denominators are
x and 2x.
So the LCM is
2x.
Change the denominators of the rational expression
to the LCM: 2x.
See 1/x.
The denominator is x.
The factor 2 is missing.
So multiply 2
to both of the numerator and the denominator.
1/x
= [1/x]⋅[2/2]
See -1/2x.
The denominator is 2x:
the LCM.
So you don't have to change -1/2x.
Write the inequality sign ≥.
See the right side 3.
The denominator is 1.
2x is missing.
So multiply 2x
to both of the numerator and the denominator.
3
= 3⋅[2x/2x]
So
1/x - 1/2x ≥ 3
becomes
[1/x]⋅[2/2] - 1/2x ≥ 3⋅[2x/2x].
[1/x]⋅[2/2]
= 2/2x
3⋅[2x/2x] = 6x/2x
2/2x - 1/2x = 1/2x
Move 6x/2x to the right side.
Multiply -1 to both sides.
Then (6x - 1)/2x ≤ 0.
Multiplying (-) on both sides
changes the order of the inequality sign:
≥ → ≤.
Linear Inequality (One Variable)
Divide both sides by 2.
Then (6x - 1)/x ≤ 0.
Move the denominator x
to the numerator.
(6x - 1)/x → x(6x - 1)
This is
multiplying the square of the denominator, x2,
to both sides.
x ≠ 0
So you can multiply x2 on both sides.
And x2 is (+).
So the order of the inequality sign
doesn't change.
And write ≠ 0
under x.
Find the zeros of x(6x - 1).
Case 1) x = 0
(We know that x ≠ 0.
This is the zero you're going to use
when graphing the inequality on the x-axis.)
Case 2) 6x - 1 = 0
Then x = 1/6.
Case 1) x = 0
Case 2) x = 1/6
So the zeros are x = 0, 1/6.
Draw y = x(6x - 1)
on the x-axis.
First point the zeros x = 0 and 1/6.
And draw a parabola
that passes through x = 0 and 1/6.
x ≠ 0
So draw an empty circle on x = 0.
See x(6x - 1) ≤ 0.
The left side is less than or equal to 0.
So color the region
where the graph is below the x-axis (y = 0).
So draw a full circle on x = 1/6.
(Don't fill the empty circle on x = 0.
This is the excluded value.)
The colored region is
0 < x ≤ 1/6.
So
0 < x ≤ 1/6
## Example 2
### Solution
Before solving the inequality,
first set (denominator) ≠ 0.
See 4/(x - 1).
The denominator is (x - 1).
So x - 1 ≠ 0.
Then x ≠ 1.
Next, see 1/x.
The denominator is x.
So x ≠ 0.
From the denominators,
you found that
x - 1 ≠ 0, x ≠ 0.
The x values should satisfy these conditions.
Next, solve the rational inequality.
First, find the least common multiple, LCM,
of the denominators.
The denominators are
(x - 1) and x.
So the LCM is
x(x - 1).
Change the denominators of the rational expression
to the LCM: x(x - 1).
See 4/(x - 1).
The denominator is (x - 1).
The factor x is missing.
So multiply x
to both of the numerator and the denominator.
4/(x - 1)
= [4/(x - 1)]⋅[x/x]
See the next term +1.
The denominator is 1.
x(x - 1) is missing.
So multiply x(x - 1)
to both of the numerator and the denominator.
+1
= +1⋅[[x(x - 1)]/[x(x - 1)]]
Write the inequality sign ≤.
See the right side 1/x.
The denominator is x.
The factor (x - 1) is missing.
So multiply (x - 1)
to both of the numerator and the denominator.
1/x
= [1/x]⋅[(x - 1)/(x - 1)]
So
4/(x - 1) + 1 ≤ 1/x
becomes
[4/(x - 1)]⋅[x/x] + 1⋅[[x(x - 1)]/[[x(x - 1)]] ≤ [1/x]⋅[(x - 1)/(x - 1)].
4⋅x = 4x
+1⋅x(x - 1) = +x2 - x
Multiply a Monomial and a Polynomial
1⋅(x - 1) = x - 1
4x + x2 - x
= x2 + 3x
Move (x - 1)/[x(x - 1)] to the left side.
Then (x2 + 3x - x + 1)/[x(x - 1)].
+3x - x = +2x
x2 + 2x + 1
= x2 + 2⋅x⋅1 + 12
= (x + 1)2
Factor a Perfect Square Trinomial
Move the denominator x(x - 1)
to the numerator.
(x + 1)2/[x(x - 1)] → (x + 1)2x(x - 1)
This is
multiplying the square of the denominator,
[x(x - 1)]2,
to both sides.
(x - 1) ≠ 0, x ≠ 0
So x(x - 1) ≠ 0.
So you can multiply [x(x - 1)]2 on both sides.
And [x(x - 1)]2 is (+).
So the order of the inequality sign
doesn't change.
And write ≠ 0
under x and (x - 1).
Write the zeros.
x = -1, 0, 1
(We know that x ≠ 0, 1.
These are the zeros you're going to use
when graphing the inequality on the x-axis.)
Draw the x-axis.
Point the zeros x = -1, 0, 1.
Draw y = (x + 1)2x(x - 1)
on the x-axis.
Polynomial Inequality
The highest degree term of y = (x + 1)2x(x - 1)
is x4.
The coefficient is (+).
So starting from the top right of the x-axis,
draw the graph
that goes toward the nearest zero:
x = 1.
See the factor (x - 1).
(x - 1) = (x - 1)1
The exponent is 1.
It's odd.
Then draw the graph
that passes through the x-axis
at x = 1.
Next, see the factor x.
x = x1
The exponent is 1.
It's odd.
Then draw the graph
that passes through the x-axis
at x = 0.
See the factor (x + 1)2.
The exponent is 2.
It's even.
Then draw the graph
that bounces off the x-axis
at x = -1.
So this is the graph of the polynomial
y = (x + 1)2x(x - 1)
on the x-axis.
x ≠ 0, (x - 1) ≠ 0
So draw empty circles on x = 0 and x = 1.
See (x + 1)2x(x - 1) ≤ 0.
The left side is less than 0.
So color the region
where the graph is below the x-axis (y = 0).
The inequality sign does not include equal to [=].
So draw a full circle on x = -1.
(Don't fill the empty circles on x = 0 and x = 1.
These are the excluded values.)
The colored regions are
x = -1, 0 < x < 1.
So
x = -1, 0 < x < 1 |
# At a Glance - Rolle's Theorem
Rolle's Theorem says:
Let f be a function that
• is continuous on the closed interval [ab]
• is differentiable on the open interval (ab), and
• has (a) = (b).
Then there is some c in the open interval (ab) with f ' (c) = 0.
Sometimes the third condition is stated as (a) = (b) = 0, but for the proof, it doesn't matter.
In pictures, we're saying suppose f is a nice smooth function with the same starting and ending height:
If f increases or decreases from its starting height, it needs to turn around and come back in order to end at the same height it started at:
Since f is a nice smooth differentiable function, its derivative at that turn-around point must be 0:
If f doesn't go up or down from its starting point, then f is constant:
In this case, ' (c) is 0 for every value of c in the interval (ab).
Rolle's Theorem is reminiscent of the Intermediate Value Theorem. Rolle's Theorem says if f satisfies some assumptions (more mathematically known as hypotheses) then f ' will be zero at some point in (ab). We could have a constant function, in which case f ' will be 0 infinitely many times:
We could have a function that turns around once:
Or we could have a function that turns around many times:
Rolle's Theorem doesn't tell us where or how many times f ' will be zero; it tells us f ' must be zero at least once if the hypotheses are all satisfied.
### Sample Problem
Suppose f is not continuous on [ab]. Then there doesn't need to be any c in (ab) with ' (c) = 0. Here's an example:
This function is not continuous. At the point of discontinuity, f ' doesn't exist. At all other points in the interval, f ' is positive:
There is no point c in (a, b) where ' (c) = 0.
We found earlier that the derivative of the absolute value function doesn't exist at 0. When x is negative the slope of the absolute value function is -1; when x is positive the slope of the absolute value function is 1:
There is no value of c anywhere, in any interval (a, b), with ' (c) = 0. The derivative of the absolute value function isn't 0 anywhere.
If a function fails any of the hypotheses, we aren't allowed to use Rolle's Theorem.
#### Example 1
Let f(x) = x2. Prove that there is some c in (-2, 2) with f ' (c) = 0.
#### Example 2
For the function f shown below, determine if we're allowed to use Rolle's Theorem to guarantee the existence of some c in (a, b) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
#### Example 3
Let . Determine if Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in (-1, 1) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
#### Example 4
Let f(x) = x2 – x. Does Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in (0, 1) with f ' (c) = 0? If not, explain why not.
#### Exercise 1
Let f(x) = sin(x). This function is differentiable everywhere. Prove that there is some c in (0, 2π) with f ' (c) = 0. By looking at the graph of f, determine how many such values of c there are in (0, 2π).
#### Exercise 2
For the function f(x) = 2x, determine whether we're allowed to use Rolle's Theorem to guarantee the existence of some c in (0, 1) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
#### Exercise 3
For the function f shown below, determine whether we're allowed to use Rolle's Theorem to guarantee the existence of some c in (-1 ,1) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
(Insert graph of f(x) = 3 for x ≤ -1, f(x) = x2 for -1 < x < 1 and f(x) = 3 for x ≥ 1)
#### Exercise 4
For the function f shown below, determine we're allowed to use Rolle's Theorem to guarantee the existence of some c in (a, b) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
(Insert graph of the function f(x) = -2(x-a) for x ≤ a, f(x) = 0 for a < x < b and f(x) = 2(x-b) for x ≥ b)
#### Exercise 5
For the function f shown below, determine we're allowed to use Rolle's Theorem to guarantee the existence of some c in (a, b) with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
(Insert graph of f(x) = sin(x) on the interval (0, 2π) On the x-axis, label the origin as a, and then label x = 3π/2 as b.)
#### Exercise 6
For each given function f and interval, determine if Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in that interval with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
• f(x) = x3 on the interval (-2, 2)
#### Exercise 7
For the function f and interval, determine if Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in that interval with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
• f(x) = cos(x) on the interval (-π, 3π) (yes, cos(x) is differentiable)
#### Exercise 8
For the given function f and interval, determine if Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in that interval with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.
• f(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4 on the interval (-2, 2)
#### Exercise 9
For the given function f and interval, determine if Rolle's Theorem guarantees the existence of some c in that interval with f ' (c) = 0. If not, explain why not.

2 Lesson 18 Warm-up: Solve the movie ticket problem Time: 10 Minutes Write on the board: A movie theatre owner wants to know if there is a relationship between the number of tickets sold and how long the movie has been playing. Here is how many tickets have been sold so far: 3,000 tickets sold Week 1; 2,750 tickets sold Week 2; 2,500 tickets sold Week 3; and 2,250 tickets sold Week 4. Basic Questions: Make a graph with the above information. o Give students time to make their graphs. They may make a line graph or a bar graph. The line graph should look like the example below. You can connect the dots to make a line of best fit or you can leave it as a scatter plot. Either way there is a negative correlation. What can the owner predict might happen on Week 5? (Attendance will be lower, there will be 2,000 tickets sold) Extension Questions: What is the average (mean) attendance for the first 4 weeks? (Total of 10,500 divided by 4 = 2,625 tickets sold per week) Is the correlation positive or negative? (It is negative because the more time goes by, the lower the ticket sales. Some students may say the slope is negative, which is true. Slope will be taught in a later lesson.) Lesson 18 Activity 1: Vocabulary Time: 10 Minutes 1) This activity can be projected on the board and done as a whole class. Have students volunteer to fill in the blank after everyone has a chance to do the activity. 2) Explain variable as a letter that takes the place of a number until we figure out what that number is. 3) The first example for 3 and 4 is numeric because there are no variables. 4) The second example for 3 and for 4 is algebraic because there is a variable. D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,
3 5) Solicit more examples of each from students. Answers: 1. A variable is a letter or symbol used to write a value (number) that can change. 2. A constant is a value that does not change. 3. An equation is a math statement that shows the two sides are equal or balanced. 4. An expression is a combination of numbers and operations. constant expression variable equation 1. A is a letter or symbol used to write a value (a number) that can change. Some examples are x, y, a, c. 2. A is a value that does not change. Some examples are 56, 47, ½, An is a math statement that shows the two sides are equal. Some example are = 9 and 4 + x = 9 4. An is a combination of numbers and operations. Some examples are and 4 + x. Lesson 18 Activity 2: Write Expressions Time: Minutes 1) Write on the board: a b 5 x D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,
4 y 16 2) Ask students how they would read aloud each of the expressions. a. For the first one, they may say: a plus 4, 4 added to a, the sum of 4 and a, 4 more than a, etc. b. For the second one, they may say 17 minus b, b subtracted from 17, the difference of 17 and b, b less than 17. (Note: This last one is tricky for students so add more examples if necessary. This example can be you have \$17 and I have less money and it s b fewer dollars). c. For the third one, they may say 5 times x, the product of 5 and x, etc. This expression can also be written as 5x, which is the case in algebra. Make sure to point this out. d. For the fourth one, they may say y divided by 16, the quotient of y and 16. 3) Do Worksheet Do the first few together on the board. Circulate to help. Have volunteers write answers on the board. 4) Do pages in the student book together. Page 50 has more examples of the above and on page 51 students also choose which expression best matches the problem. Lesson 18 Activity 3: Word Problems Time: Minutes 1) After you have done the problems in the student book together, students can work independently in the workbook pages ) You may need to review operations with integers from a previous lesson because there are some negative numbers in some of the problems. 3) Circulate to help. Discuss and explain the questions that students found challenging. Validate correct reasoning and redirect/explain if reasoning is not correct. Lesson 18 Activity 4: Evaluate Expressions Time: 20 Minutes 1) Tell the students: You have just done many problems in which you had to match an expression to a word problem. Now we will learn to evaluate expressions for different variables. That means we will find the answer for different values. 2) Example A: You work h hours per week and make \$15 an hour. a. Write an expression to represent how much you get paid. (15h or 15 x h) b. Evaluate the expression for 10 hours in one week (15 x 10 = \$150) c. Evaluate the expression for 25 hours in one week (15 x 25 = \$375) D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,
5 3) Example B: In the warm up activity about the movie ticket sales, the owner wants to know how much money she will make if the tickets are sold at \$11.25 each. a. Write an expression with t for tickets. (\$11.25t ) b. Evaluate the expression for the first week when 3,000 tickets were sold. (3,000 x \$11.25 = \$33,750) c. Evaluate the expression for the second week when 2,750 tickets were sold. (2,750 x \$11.25 = \$30,937.50) 4) Practice evaluating expressions with Worksheet Do the first few together. Application Option A: Make Algebra Concrete Time: 15 Minutes This activity may be useful to make algebraic more concrete for students. Use the following as a guideline. I wasn t able to change the words (document is a pdf) so choose items in the classroom and ignore the reference to child. Also, you can make the activity more interesting by saying a few examples yourself and then having students work in pairs to create an expression and dictate it to the rest of the class. D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,
6 D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,
7 Application Option B: Write Expressions from a Menu Time: 10 Minutes (See printable handout on the next page.) Use the menu from this restaurant to write an algebraic expression for each question. The variable is the first letter of the menu item. Once you write the variable, evaluate the expression. French Fries \$2 Pizza Slice \$3 Hotdog \$3 Ice Cream Sundae \$3 Shake \$2 Taco \$2 Coke \$1 Milk \$1 1. Mike ordered 3 hotdogs for his family. How much was the meal? 2. Stanley wants to eat an ice cream sundae after he finishes his meal of coke and a slice of pizza. How much was his bill? 3. There are four people in the Cullwell family. Two people order French fries and two people order tacos. Each one of them orders milk with their meal. How much do the drinks cost for the Cullwell family? 4. If the whole class decided to eat lunch, and the teacher bought everyone a taco and a shake, how much would the teacher have to pay? Answers: 1. 3h, 3(\$3)= \$9 2. c + p + i, \$1+\$3+\$3=\$7 3. 2f + 2t + 4m, 2(\$2) + 2(\$2) + 4(\$1) = \$12 4. Answer will vary D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,

9 Lesson 18: Group Exit Ticket Time: 5 Minutes Do expression dictation. For example, say 15 less than n. Have students write the answer on a piece of paper (n 15). You may continue with more dictations yourself or students can take turns saying the dictation problems for the whole class to write down. As each problem is said, students should write down the expression individually. D. Legault, Minnesota Literacy Council,

Cooper is having a great time getting to know his pen pal, Riley, in New Zealand. They are both the same age and love sports. Cooper wants to call Riley, but he's having a hard time figuring out when it would be OK to call him because of the time zone difference.
Cooper figures that it would be best if someone called him some time after he got home from school at 3pm and before he went to bed at 10pm. He knows that New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of Santa Fe, NM, where Cooper lives, but he doesn't know what time that makes it in New Zealand.
In this concept, you will learn how to add integers using a number line.
### Adding Integers Using a Number Line
An integer is any positive whole number or its opposite. Here, opposite means sign. So a positive integer has a negative opposite and vice versa.
positive number is a number greater than zero. It can be written with or without a + symbol in front of it. A gain in something is written with a positive number.
negative number is a number that is less than zero. It is always written with a - symbol in front of it. A loss is written with a negative number.
number line is a line on which numbers are marked at intervals, used to illustrate simple numerical operations. Using a number line allows you to see where a number is in relationship to other numbers and from zero.
Number lines are useful tools for visualizing simple arithmetic operations, especially addition and subtraction. Start at the position indicated by the first number. If the second number is negative, move that many units to the left. If it's positive, move that many units to the right. The final mark is the answer.
Here is an example of using a number line in addition.
-5 + 7 = ____
First, mark the initial integer.
Next, move seven units in the positive direction.
The result is +2.
Here is another example.
6 + -9 = _____
First, mark the initial integer, +6.
Next, move to left (the negative direction) 9 units.
The final mark is at -3.
### Examples
#### Example 1
Earlier, you were given a problem about Cooper and his time zone difficulty.
He wants to call his friend, Riley, in New Zealand some time between 3pm and 10pm, but he doesn't know what time that is in Santa Fe, where he lives. He knows Santa Fe is 18 hours later than New Zealand.
In order to solve this problem, Cooper can use number lines and addition.
First, Cooper can draw a special number line that repeats every twelve hours.
Next, to figure out the early limit, Cooper marks 3pm and then adds 18 hours.
3 pm + 18 hours = 9 am
So, 3pm in New Zealand is 9am in Santa Fe.
Then, he repeats this process to find the later limit.
10 pm + 18 hours = 4pm
So, if Cooper wants to call Riley some time between the time Riley comes home from school at 3pm and before he goes to bed at 10pm, Cooper will have to call him between 9am and 4pm. But Cooper, himself, doesn't get home until 3pm. So he concludes that the only time he can call Riley is as soon as he gets home from school at 3pm.
#### Example 2
Draw a number line from -6 to 9 and use it to find the sum.
5+1+7\begin{align*}-5 + -1 + 7\end{align*} = _____
First, draw the number line.
Next, start at -5 and move 1 to the left.
Then, add 7 to the right.
You are now at +1.
The answer is 1\begin{align*}1\end{align*}.
#### Example 3
Draw a number line and use it to find the sum.
-5 + 9 = ____
First, draw the number line.
Next, start at -5 and move 9 to the right.
You are now at +4.
#### Example 4
Draw a number line and use it to find the sum.
-1 + -8 = ____
First, draw the number line.
Next, start at -1 and move 8 to the left.
You are now at -9.
#### Example 5
Draw a number line and use it to find the sum.
5 + -7 = ____
First, draw the number line.
Next, start at 5 and move 7 to the left.
You are now at -2.
### Review
Add the following integers that have the same sign by using a number line. You may figure out a pattern. If so, try finding the sums without a number line.
1. 6 + 7 = _____
2. -9 + -7 = _____
3. -3 + -4 = _____
4. 5 + 12 = _____
5. -12 + -23 = _____
6. 27 + 11 = _____
7. -34 + -13 = _____
8. 25 + 16 = _____
9. -9 + -29 = _____
10. -16 + -12 = _____
Add the following integers using a number line. Notice that they have different signs.
1. -9 + 3 = _____
2. -7 + 5 = _____
3. 1 + -12 = _____
4. 3 + -8 = _____
5. -19 + 11 = _____

# 12.4: Rational Expressions
Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12
## Learning Objectives
• Simplify rational expressions.
• Find excluded values of rational expressions.
## Introduction
A simplified rational expression is one where the numerator and denominator have no common factors. In order to simplify an expression to lowest terms, we factor the numerator and denominator as much as we can and cancel common factors from the numerator and the denominator.
## Simplify Rational Expressions
Example 1
Reduce each rational expression to simplest terms.
a) \begin{align*}\frac{4x-2}{2x^2+x-1}\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}\frac{x^2-2x+1}{8x-8}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\frac{x^2-4}{x^2-5x+6}\end{align*}
Solution
a) \begin{align*}\text{Factor the numerator and denominator completely:} \qquad \frac{2(2x-1)}{(2x-1)(x+1)}\!\\ \\ \text{Cancel the common factor} \ (2x - 1): \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \frac{2}{x+1}\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}\text{Factor the numerator and denominator completely:} \qquad \frac{(x-1)(x-1)}{8(x-1)}\!\\ \\ \text{Cancel the common factor}\ (x - 1): \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \ \frac{x-1}{8}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\text{Factor the numerator and denominator completely:} \qquad \frac{(x-2)(x+2)}{(x-2)(x-3)}\!\\ \\ \text{Cancel the common factor} (x - 2): \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad \frac{x+2}{x-3}\end{align*}
When reducing fractions, you are only allowed to cancel common factors from the denominator but NOT common terms. For example, in the expression \begin{align*}\frac{(x+1) \cdot (x-3)}{(x+2) \cdot (x-3)}\end{align*}, we can cross out the \begin{align*}(x - 3)\end{align*} factor because \begin{align*}\frac{(x-3)}{(x-3)}=1\end{align*}. But in the expression \begin{align*}\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-5}\end{align*} we can’t just cross out the \begin{align*}x^2\end{align*} terms.
Why can’t we do that? When we cross out terms that are part of a sum or a difference, we’re violating the order of operations (PEMDAS). Remember, the fraction bar means division. When we perform the operation \begin{align*}\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-5}\end{align*}, we’re really performing the division \begin{align*}(x^2+1) \div (x^2-5)\end{align*} — and the order of operations says that we must perform the operations inside the parentheses before we can perform the division.
Using numbers instead of variables makes it more obvious that canceling individual terms doesn’t work. You can see that \begin{align*}\frac{9+1}{9-5}=\frac{10}{4}=2.5\end{align*} — but if we canceled out the 9’s first, we’d get \begin{align*}\frac{1}{-5}\end{align*}, or -0.2, instead.
For more examples of how to simplify rational expressions, watch the video at
.
## Find Excluded Values of Rational Expressions
Whenever there’s a variable expression in the denominator of a fraction, we must remember that the denominator could be zero when the independent variable takes on certain values. Those values, corresponding to the vertical asymptotes of the function, are called excluded values. To find the excluded values, we simply set the denominator equal to zero and solve the resulting equation.
Example 2
Find the excluded values of the following expressions.
a) \begin{align*}\frac{x}{x+4}\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}\frac{2x+1}{x^2-x-6}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\frac{4}{x^2-5x}\end{align*}
Solution
a) \begin{align*}\text{When we set the denominator equal to zero we obtain:} \quad \ \ x+4=0 \Rightarrow x=-4\!\\ \\ \text{So} \ \mathbf{-4} \ \text{is the excluded value.}\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}\text{When we set the denominator equal to zero we obtain:} \qquad x^2-x-6=0\!\\ \\ \text{Solve by factoring:} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \qquad \qquad \qquad (x-3)(x+2)=0\!\\ \\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \qquad \qquad \Rightarrow x=3 \ \text{and}\ x = -2\!\\ \\ \text{So}\ \mathbf{3}\ \mathbf{and}\ \mathbf{-2} \ \text{are the excluded values.}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\text{When we set the denominator equal to zero we obtain:} \quad \ \ x^2-5x=0\!\\ \\ \text{Solve by factoring:} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \ x(x-5)=0\!\\ \\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \ \Rightarrow x=0 \ \text{and} \ x = 5\!\\ \\ \text{So} \ \mathbf{0 \ and \ 5}\ \text{are the excluded values.}\end{align*}
## Removable Zeros
Notice that in the expressions in Example 1, we removed a division by zero when we simplified the problem. For instance, we rewrote \begin{align*}\frac{4x-2}{2x^2+x-1}\end{align*} as \begin{align*}\frac{2(2x-1)}{(2x-1)(x+1)}\end{align*}. The denominator of this expression is zero when \begin{align*}x = \frac{1}{2}\end{align*} or when \begin{align*}x = -1\end{align*}.
However, when we cancel common factors, we simplify the expression to \begin{align*}\frac{2}{x+1}\end{align*}. This reduced form allows the value \begin{align*}x = \frac{1}{2}\end{align*}, so \begin{align*}x = -1\end{align*} is its only excluded value.
Technically the original expression and the simplified expression are not the same. When we recduce a radical expression to its simplest form, we should specify the removed excluded value. In other words, we should write our final answer as \begin{align*}\frac{4x-2}{2x^2+x-1}=\frac{2}{x+1}, x \neq \frac{1}{2}\end{align*}.
Similarly, we should write the answer from Example 1, part \begin{align*}b\end{align*} as \begin{align*}\frac{x^2-2x+1}{8x-8}=\frac{x-1}{8}, x \neq 1\end{align*} and the answer from Example 1, part c as \begin{align*}\frac{x^2-4}{x^2-5x+6}=\frac{x+2}{x-3}, x \neq 2\end{align*}.

### Part I. Section III. Chapter 11. “Of Geometrical Progressions.”
505 A series of numbers, which are always becoming a certain number of times greater, or less, is called a geometrical progression, because each term is constantly to the following one in the same geometrical ratio: and the number which expresses how many times each term is greater than the preceding, is called the exponent, or ratio. Thus, when the first term is 1 and the exponent, or ratio, is 2, the geometrical progression becomes,
Terms 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc. Progression 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. always marking the place which each term holds in the progression.
506 If we suppose, in general, the first term to be $$a$$, and the ratio $$b$$, we have the following geometrical progression
Terms 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ⋯ $$n$$ Progression $$a$$, $$ab$$, $$ab^2$$, $$ab^3$$, $$ab^4$$, $$ab^5$$, $$ab^6$$, $$ab^7$$, ⋯ $$ab^{n-1}$$.
So that, when this progression consists of $$n$$ terms, the last term is $$ab^{n-1}$$. We must, however, remark here, that if the ratio $$b$$ be greater than unity, the terms increase continually; if $$b=1$$, the terms are all equal; lastly, if $$b$$ be less than 1, or a fraction, the terms continually decrease. Thus, when $$a=1$$, and $$b=\frac{1}{2}$$, we have this geometrical progression:
1, ½, ¼, ⅛, ¹⁄₁₆, ¹⁄₃₂, ¹⁄₆₄, ¹⁄₁₂₈, etc.
507 Here therefore we have to consider:
1. The first term, which we have called $$a$$.
2. The exponent, which we call $$b$$.
3. The number of terms, which we have expressed by $$n$$.
4. And the last term, which, we have already seen, is expressed by $$ab^{n-1}$$.
So that, when the first three of these are given, the last term is found by multiplying the $$n-1$$ power of $$b$$, or $$b^{n-1}$$, by the first term $$a$$.
If, therefore, the 50th term of the geometrical progression 1, 2, 4, 8, etc. were required, we should have $$a=1$$, $$b = 2$$, and $$n=50$$; consequently the 50th term would be 2⁴⁹; and as 2⁹=512, we shall have 2¹⁰=1024; wherefore the square of 2¹⁰, or 2²⁰, =1048576, and the square of this number, which is 1099511627776=2⁴⁰. Multiplying therefore this value of 2⁴⁰ by 2⁹, or 512, we have
2⁴⁹=562949953421312
for the 50th term.
508 One of the principal questions which occurs on this subject, is to find the sum of all the terms of a geometrical progression; we shall therefore explain the method of doing this. Let there be given, first, the following progression, consisting of ten terms:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512,
the sum of which we shall represent by $$s$$, so that
$s=1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512;$
doubling both sides, we shall have
$2s=2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512+1024;$
and subtracting from this the progression represented by $$s$$, there remains $$s=1024-1=1023$$; wherefore the sum required is 1023.
509 Suppose now, in the same progression, that the number of terms is undetermined, that is, let them be generally represented by $$n$$, so that the sum in question, or
$s=1+2+2^2+2^3+2^4+\cdots+2^{n-1}.$
If we multiply by 2, we have
$2s=2+2^2+2^3+2^4+\cdots+2^n,$
then subtracting from this equation the preceding one, we have $$s=2^n-1-1$$. It is evident, therefore, that the sum required is found, by multiplying the last term, $$2^{n-1}$$, by the exponent 2, in order to have $$2^n$$, and subtracting unity from that product.
510 This is made still more evident by the following examples, in which we substitute successively for $$n$$, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
1 = 1;
1 + 2 = 3;
1 + 2 + 4 = 7;
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15;
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31;
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 63, etc.
511 On this subject, the following question is generally proposed. A man offers to sell his horse on the following condition; that is, he demands 1 penny for the first nail, 2 for the second, 4 for the third, 8 for the fourth, and so on, doubling the price of each succeeding nail. It is required to find the price of the horse, the nails being 32 in number?
This question is evidently reduced to finding the sum of all the terms of the geometrical progression 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. continued to the 32d term. Now, that last term is 2³¹; and, as we have already found 2²⁰=1048576, and 2¹⁰=1024, we shall have 2²⁰ · 2¹⁰ = 2³⁰ = 1073741824; and multiplying again by 2, the last term 2³¹=2147483648; doubling therefore this number, and subtracting unity from the product, the sum required becomes 4294967295 pence; which being reduced, we have 17895697l. 1s. 3d. for the price of the horse.1
512 Let the ratio now be 3, and let it be required to find the sum of the geometrical progression 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, consisting of 7 terms.
Calling the sum $$s$$ as before, we have
$s=1+3+9+27+81+243+729.$
And multiplying by 3,
$3=3+9+27+81+243+729+2187.$
Then subtracting the former series from the latter, we have $$2s=2187-1=2186$$: so that the double of the sum is 2186, and consequently the sum required is 1093.
513 In the same progression, let the number of terms be $$n$$, and the sum $$s$$; so that
$s=1+3+3^2+3^3+3^4+\cdots+3^{n-1}.$
If now we multiply by 3, we have
$3s=3+3^2+3^3+3^4+\cdots+3^n.$
Then subtracting from this expression the value of $$s$$, as before, we shall have $$2s=3^n-1$$; therefore $$s =\frac{3^n-1}{2}$$. So that the sum required is found by multiplying the last term by 3, subtracting 1 from the product, and dividing the remainder by 2; as will appear, also, from the following particular cases:
1 $$\dfrac{(1\cdot 3)-1}{2}$$ = 1 1 + 3 $$\dfrac{(3\cdot 3)-1}{2}$$ = 4 1 + 3 + 9 $$\dfrac{(3\cdot 9)-1}{2}$$ = 13 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 $$\dfrac{(3\cdot 27)-1}{2}$$ = 40 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 $$\dfrac{(3\cdot 81)-1}{2}$$ = 121.
514 Let us now suppose, generally, the first term to be $$a$$, the ratio $$b$$, the number of terms $$n$$, and their sum $$s$$, so that
$s=a+ab+ab^2+ab^3+ab^4+\cdots+ab^{n-1}.$
If we multiply by $$b$$, we have
$bs = ab+ab^2+ab^3+ab^4+ab^5+\cdots+ab^n,$
and taking the difference between this and the above equation, there remains $$(b-1)s=ab^n-a$$; whence we easily deduce the sum required
$s=\dfrac{ab^n-a)}{b-1}.$
Consequently, the sum of any geometrical progression is found, by multiplying the last term by the ratio, or exponent of the progression, and dividing the difference between this product and the first term, by the difference between 1 and the ratio.
515 Let there be a geometrical progression of seven terms, of which the first is 3; and let the ratio be 2: we shall then have $$a = 3$$, $$b = 2$$, and $$n = 7$$; therefore the last term is 3 · 2⁶, or 3 · 64, = 192; and the whole progression will be
3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192.
Farther, if we multiply the last term 192 by the ratio 2, we have 384; subtracting the first term, there remains 381; and dividing this by $$b - 1$$, or by 1, we have 381 for the sum of the whole progression.
516 Again, let there be a geometrical progression of six terms, of which the first is 4; and let the ratio be ³⁄₂: then the progression is
4, 6, 9, ²⁷⁄₂, ⁸¹⁄₄, ²⁴³⁄₈.
If we multiply the last term by the ratio, we shall have ⁷²⁹⁄₁₆; and subtracting the first term = ⁶⁴⁄₁₆, the remainder is ⁶⁶⁵⁄₁₆; which, divided by $$b-1=\frac{1}{2}$$, gives ⁶⁶⁵⁄₈ = 83⅛ for the sum of the series.
517 When the exponent is less than 1, and, conscquently, when the terms of the progression continually diminish, the sum of such a decreasing progression, carried on to infinity, may be accurately expressed.
For example, let the first term be 1, the ratio ½, and the sum $$s$$, so that
$s=1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{64}+\textrm{etc.}$
to infinity.
If we multiply by 2, we have
$s=2+1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{32}+\textrm{etc.}$
to infinity: and, subtracting the preceding progression, there remains $$s = 2$$ for the sum of the proposed infinite progression.
518 If the first term be 1, the ratio ⅓, and the sum $$s$$; so that
$s=1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{27}+\frac{1}{81}+\textrm{etc.}$
to infinity. Then multiplying the whole by 3, we have
$3s=3+1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{27}+\textrm{etc.}$
and subtracting the value of $$s$$, there remains $$2s=3$$; wherefore the sum $$s=1\frac{1}{2}$$.
519 Let there be a progression whose sum is $$s$$, the first term 2, and the ratio ¾; so that
$s=2+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{27}{32}+\frac{81}{128}+\textrm{etc.}$
to infinity. Multiplying by ⁴⁄₃, we have
$\frac{4}{3}s=\frac{8}{3}+2+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{27}{32}+\frac{81}{128}+\textrm{etc.};$
and subtracting from this progression $$s$$, there remains $$\frac{1}{3}s=\frac{8}{3}$$: wherefore the sum required is 8.
520 If we suppose, in general, the first term to be $$a$$, and the ratio of the progression to be $$\frac{b}{c}$$, so that this fraction may be less than 1, and consequently $$c$$ greater than $$b$$; the sum of the progression, carried on to infinity, will be found thus:
Make
$s=a+\frac{ab}{c}+\frac{ab^2}{c^2}+\frac{ab^3}{c^3}+\frac{ab^4}{c^4}+\textrm{etc.}$
to infinity; and subtracting this equation from the preceding, there remains $$\left(1-\frac{b}{c}\right)s=a$$. Consequently,
$s=\dfrac{a}{1-\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{ac}{c-b},$
by multiplynig both the numerator and denominator by $$c$$.
The sum of the infinite geometrical progression proposed is, therefore, found by dividing the first term a by 1 minus the ratio, or by multiplying the first term $$a$$ by the denominator of the ratio, and dividing the product by the same denominator diminished by the numerator of the ratio.
521 In the same manner we find the sums of progressions, the terms of which are alternately affected by the signs + and -. Suppose, for example,
$s=a-\frac{ab}{c}+\frac{ab^2}{c}-\frac{ab^3}{c}+\frac{ab^4}{c}-\textrm{etc.}$
And, adding this equation to the preceding, we obtain $$\left(1+\frac{b}{c}\right)s=a$$: whence we deduce the sum required, $$s=\dfrac{a}{1+\frac{b}{c}}$$, or $$s=\frac{ac}{c+b}$$.
522 It is evident, therefore, that if the first term $$a=\frac{3}{5}$$, and the ratio be ⅖, that is to say, $$b=2$$, and $$c=5$$, we shall find the sum of the progression
$$\frac{3}{5}+\frac{6}{25}+\frac{12}{125}+\frac{24}{625}+\textrm{etc.}=1$$;
since, by subtracting the ratio from 1, there remains ⅗, and by dividing the first term by that remainder, the quotient is 1.
It is also evident, if the terms be alternately positive and negative, and the progression assume this form:
$\frac{3}{5}-\frac{6}{25}+\frac{12}{125}-\frac{24}{625}+\textrm{etc.}$
that the sum will be
$\dfrac{a}{1+\frac{b}{c}} = \dfrac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{7}{5}} = \frac{3}{7}.$
523 Again: let there be proposed the infinite progression,
$\frac{3}{10}+\frac{3}{100}+\frac{3}{1000}+\frac{3}{10000}+\frac{3}{10000}+\frac{3}{100000}+\textrm{etc.}$
The first term is here ³⁄₁₀, and the ratio is ⅒; therefore subtracting this last from 1, there remains ⁹⁄₁₀, and, if we divide the first term by this fraction, we have ⅓ for the sum of the given progression. So that taking only one term of the progression, namely ³⁄₁₀, the error would be ⅒.
And taking two terms, ³⁄₁₀ + ³⁄₁₀₀ = ³³⁄₁₀₀, there would still be wanting ¹⁄₁₀₀ to make the sura, which we have seen is ⁴⁄₃.
524 Let there now be given the infinite progression,
$9+\frac{9}{10}+\frac{9}{100}+\frac{9}{1000}+\frac{9}{10000}+\textrm{etc.}$
The first term is 9, and the ratio is ⅒. So that 1 minus the ratio is ⁹⁄₁₀; and $$\dfrac{9}{\frac{9}{10}}=10$$, the sum required: which series is expressed by a decimal fraction, thus, 9.9999999 etc.

# Derivative of cos2x by First Principle, Chain Rule
The derivative of cos2x is equal to -2sin2x. In this post, we will find the derivative of cos2x by the first principle, that is, by the limit definition of derivatives as well as by the chain rule of derivatives.
Recall the first principle of derivatives. By this rule, we know that the derivative of a function f(x) is given by the following limit:
$\dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x))$$=\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} …(I) Table of Contents ## Derivative of cos2x by First Principle Question: What is the derivative of cos 2x? Answer: The derivative of cos2x is -2sin2x. Explanation: Step 1: We put f(x)=\cos 2x in the above formula (I). Step 2: Thus the derivative of cos2x by the first principle will be equal to \dfrac{d}{dx}(\cos 2x)$$=\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \dfrac{\cos 2(x+h)-\cos 2x}{h}$
Step 3: Now apply the formula $\cos a -\cos b$ $=-2\sin \dfrac{a+b}{2}\sin \dfrac{b-a}{2}$. By doing so we obtain that
$\dfrac{d}{dx}(\cos 2x)$$=\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \dfrac{-2 \sin (2x+h) \sin h}{h}$
= $-2\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \sin(2x+h)$ $\cdot \lim\limits_{h \to 0} \dfrac{\sin h}{h}$
= $-2 \sin(2x+0)$ $\times 1$ as we know that limit of sinh/h is 1 when h tends to zero.
= $-2\sin 2x$.
Conclusion: Therefore, the derivative of cos2x is 2sin2x, obtained by the first principle of derivatives, that is, d/dx(cos2x) = −2sin2x.
## Question-Answer on Derivative of cos2x
Question: What is the derivative of cos2x at x=0.
Answer: From the above, we have obtained that the derivative of cos2x is -2sin2x. So the derivative of cos2x at x=0 is equal to
$[\dfrac{d}{dx}(\cos 2x)]{x=0}$ $=[-2\sin 2x]{x=0}$
$=-2\sin 0$
$=-2 \times 0$ as the value of sin0 is 0.
$=0$.
Thus, the derivative of cos2x at x=0 is equal to 0.

## Derivative of cos2x by Chain Rule
We now find the derivative of cos2x by the chain rule. Let us put $z=2x$. Thus, $\dfrac{dz}{dx}=2$. Then by the chain rule, the derivative of cos2x is given by
$\dfrac{d}{dx}(\cos 2x)=\dfrac{d}{dz}(\cos z) \cdot \dfrac{dz}{dx}$
= $-\sin z \cdot 2$
=$-2\sin 2x$ as z=2x.
So the derivative of cos2x by the chain rule is equal to -2sin2x.

# Integral by Parts: Definite Integral
How to solve the definite integral of a product by using the integral by parts: formula, 2 examples, and their solutions.
## Formula
### Formula
The integral of a product, uv', can be solved
by using this formula.
ab uv' dx = [uv]ab - ∫ab u'v dx
### How to Choose u and v'
The priority of choosing u and v'
is the same as
the case of solving an indefinite integral.
For a product of two functions in an integral,
one is u, and the other is v'.
To choose u and v' properly,
remember this order of uv':
[u]
logarithmic
polynomial
trigonometric,
exponential
[v'].
Set u = (upper function) and v' = (lower function).
u is the function
whose integral is complex.
v' is the function
whose integral is simple.
## Example 1
### Solution
x sin x is the product of x and sin x.
So solve this
by using integral by parts.
The order of uv' is
[u]
logarithmic
polynomial (x)
trigonometric (sin x)
exponential
[v'].
So set
u = x and v' = sin x.
Write u = x.
Differentiate both sides.
Then u' = 1.
Derivative of a Polynomial
Write v' = sin x
next to u' = 1.
Integrate both sides.
Then v = -cos x.
Integral of sin x
Write this above v' = sin x.
u = x, v = -cos x
u' = 1
Then the given integral is equal to,
uv, x⋅(-cos x)
from 0 to π/3
minus
integral from 0 to π/3,
u'v, 1⋅(-cos x) dx.
x⋅(-cos x) = -x cos x
-∫0π/3 1⋅(-cos x) dx = +∫0π/3 cos x dx
Put 0 and π/3
into -x cos x.
Then -(π/3)⋅(cos π/3) - (0⋅cos 0).
Solve the integral.
Definite Integral: How to Solve
The integral of cos x is
sin x.
So -(π/3)⋅(cos π/3) - (0⋅cos 0) + [sin x]0π/3.
cos π/3 = 1/2
So -(π/3)⋅(cos π/3) = -(π/3)⋅(1/2).
Cosine Values of Commonly Used Angles
Put 0 and π/3
into sin x.
Then sin π/3 - sin 0.
-(π/3)⋅(1/2) = -π/6
sin π/3 = √3/2
sin 0 = 0
Sine Values of Commonly Used Angles
-π/6 + [√3/2 - 0] = √3/2 - π/6
So √3/2 - π/6 is the answer.
## Example 2
### Solution
(ln x)2 is the product of (ln x)2 and 1.
So solve this
by using integral by parts.
The order of uv' is
[u]
logarithmic [(ln x)2]
polynomial (1)
trigonometric
exponential
[v'].
So set
u = (ln x)2 and v' = 1.
Write u = (ln x)2.
Differentiate both sides.
Then u' = 2(ln x)⋅(1/x).
Derivative of a Composite Function
Derivative of ln x
Write v' = 1
next to u' = 2(ln x)1⋅(1/x).
Integrate both sides.
Then v = x.
Integral of a Polynomial
Write this above v' = 1.
u = (ln x)2, v = 2(ln x)⋅(1/x)
u' = x
Then the given integral is equal to,
uv, (ln x)2⋅x
from 1 to e
minus
integral from 1 to e,
u'v, 2(ln x)⋅(1/x)⋅x dx.
Put 1 and e
into (ln x)2⋅x.
Then (ln e)2⋅e - (ln 1)2⋅1.
Take 2 out from the integral.
And cancel (1/x) and x.
Then -∫1e 2(ln x)⋅(1/x)⋅x dx = -2⋅∫1e ln x dx
So (ln e)2⋅e - (ln 1)2⋅1 - 2⋅∫1e ln x dx.
(ln e)2⋅e = 12⋅e
-(ln 1)2⋅1 = -0⋅1 = 0.
Solve the integral.
The integral of ln x is
x ln x - x.
12⋅e = e
Put 1 and e
into x ln x - x.
Then -2[e ln e - e - (1 ln 1 - 1)].
e ln e = e⋅1
1 ln 1 = 1⋅0
e⋅1 - e = 0
(1⋅0 - 1) = (-1)
0 - (-1) = 0 + 1 = +1
-2[+1] = -2
So e - 2 is the answer. |

2-10 Percent Increase and Decrease Holt Algebra 1 Warm Up Lesson Presentation Lesson Quiz
Warmup: Which is a better deal?
Get Your Calculator Warmup: Which is a better deal? A DVD costs \$20. Sales tax is 8% and you receive a 10% discount. Should you calculate the tax first then the discount or the other way around?
Discount first: (\$20)(.10) = \$2 20 – 2 = \$18 Tax first: (\$20)(.08) = \$1.60 = \$21.60 Now Discount: (\$21.60)(.10) = \$2.16 21.60 – 2.16 = \$19.44 Now Tax: (\$18)(.08) = \$1.44 = \$19.44 Which is a better deal for you? Which is a better deal for the business?
Warm Up 1. Find 30% of 40. 2. Find 28% of 60. 12 Solve for x.
5. 20 is what percent of 80? 6. 36 is what percent of 30? 12 16.8 0.44 38 25% 120%
Objective Find percent increase and decrease.
Vocabulary percent change percent increase percent decrease discount
markup
A percent change is an increase or decrease given as a percent of the original amount. Percent increase describes an amount that has grown and percent decrease describes an amount that has be reduced. Notes on next slide
Definition: (write this down)
Percent of Change Definition: (write this down) Percent of Change = Difference Original Which Means: % Increase or % Decrease Using this formula, your answer comes out as a decimal. Just multiply by 100 to change to a percent
Example 1A: Finding Percent Increase and Decrease
Find each percent change. Tell whether it is a percent increase or decrease. From 8 to 10 Simplify the numerator. Simplify the fraction. = 0.25 = 25% Write the answer as a percent. 8 to 10 is an increase, so a change from 8 to 10 is a 25% increase.
Helpful Hint Before solving, decide what is a reasonable answer. For Example 1A, 8 to 16 would be a 100% increase. So 8 to 10 should be much less than 100%.
Example 1B: Finding Percent Increase and Decrease
Find the percent change. Tell whether it is a percent increase or decrease. From 75 to 30 Simplify the fraction. Simplify the numerator. = 0.6 = 60% Write the answer as a percent. 75 to 30 is a decrease, so a change from 75 to 30 is a 60% decrease.
Example 2: Finding Percent Increase and Decrease
A. Find the result when 12 is increased by 50%. 0.50(12) = 6 Find 50% of 12. This is the amount of increase. =18 It is a percent increase, so add 6 to the original amount. 12 increased by 50% is 18. B. Find the result when 55 is decreased by 60%. Find 60% of 55. This is the amount of decrease. 0.60(55) = 33 55 – 33 = 22 It is a percent decrease so subtract 33 from the the original amount. 55 decreased by 60% is 22.
Common application of percent change are discounts and markups.
A discount is an amount by which an original price is reduced. discount = % of original price final price = A markup is an amount by which a wholesale price is increased. final price = wholesale cost markup + = % of
Example 3: Discounts The entrance fee at an amusement park is \$35. People over the age of 65 receive a 20% discount. What is the amount of the discount? How much do people over 65 pay? Method 1 A discount is a percent decrease. So find \$35 decreased by 20%. Find 20% of 35. This is the amount of the discount. 0.20(35) = 7 35 – 7 = 28 Subtract 7 from 35. This is the entrance fee for people over the age of 65.
Example 3A: Discounts Method 2 Subtract the percent discount from 100%. 100% – 20% = 80% People over the age of 65 pay 80% of the regular price, \$35. 0.80(35) = 28 Find 80% of 35. This is the entrance fee for people over the age of 65. 35 – 28 = 7 Subtract 28 from 35. This is the amount of the discount. By either method, the discount is \$7. People over the age of 65 pay \$28.00.
Helpful Hint Before solving, decide what is a reasonable answer. For example 3A, a 10% discount is \$3.50 off. So a 20% discount would be more than \$2 off.
Example 3B: Discounts A student paid \$31.20 for art supplies that normally cost \$ Find the percent discount . Think: is what percent of 52.00? Let x represent the percent. \$52.00 – \$31.20 = \$20.80 20.80 = x(52.00) Since x is multiplied by 52.00, divide both sides by to undo the multiplication. 0.40 = x 40% = x Write the answer as a percent. The discount is 40%
Example 4: Markups The wholesale cost of a DVD is \$7. The markup is 85%. What is the amount of the markup? What is the selling price? Method 2 Method 1 A markup is a percent increase. So find \$7 increased by 85%. Add percent markup to 100% Find 85% of 7. This is the amount of the markup. 100% + 85% = 185% The selling price is 185% of the wholesale price, 7. 0.85(7) = 5.95 1.85(7) = 12.95 = 12.95 Find 185% of 7. This is the selling price. Add to 7. This is the selling price. 12.95 7 = 5.95 Subtract from This is the amount of the markup. By either method, the amount of the markup is \$5.95. The selling price is \$12.95.

## Non-right Triangles: Law of Sines
Tác giả: OpenStaxCollege
Suppose two radar stations located 20 miles apart each detect an aircraft between them. The angle of elevation measured by the first station is 35 degrees, whereas the angle of elevation measured by the second station is 15 degrees. How can we determine the altitude of the aircraft? We see in [link] that the triangle formed by the aircraft and the two stations is not a right triangle, so we cannot use what we know about right triangles. In this section, we will find out how to solve problems involving non-right triangles.
# Using the Law of Sines to Solve Oblique Triangles
In any triangle, we can draw an altitude, a perpendicular line from one vertex to the opposite side, forming two right triangles. It would be preferable, however, to have methods that we can apply directly to non-right triangles without first having to create right triangles.
Any triangle that is not a right triangle is an oblique triangle. Solving an oblique triangle means finding the measurements of all three angles and all three sides. To do so, we need to start with at least three of these values, including at least one of the sides. We will investigate three possible oblique triangle problem situations:
1. ASA (angle-side-angle) We know the measurements of two angles and the included side. See [link].
2. AAS (angle-angle-side) We know the measurements of two angles and a side that is not between the known angles. See [link].
3. SSA (side-side-angle) We know the measurements of two sides and an angle that is not between the known sides. See [link].
Knowing how to approach each of these situations enables us to solve oblique triangles without having to drop a perpendicular to form two right triangles. Instead, we can use the fact that the ratio of the measurement of one of the angles to the length of its opposite side will be equal to the other two ratios of angle measure to opposite side. Let’s see how this statement is derived by considering the triangle shown in [link].
Using the right triangle relationships, we know that$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =\frac{h}{b}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta =\frac{h}{a}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Solving both equations for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$gives two different expressions for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h.$
We then set the expressions equal to each other.
Similarly, we can compare the other ratios.
Collectively, these relationships are called the Law of Sines.
Note the standard way of labeling triangles: angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$(alpha) is opposite side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a;\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$(beta) is opposite side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b;\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$(gamma) is opposite side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$See [link].
While calculating angles and sides, be sure to carry the exact values through to the final answer. Generally, final answers are rounded to the nearest tenth, unless otherwise specified.
Law of Sines
Given a triangle with angles and opposite sides labeled as in [link], the ratio of the measurement of an angle to the length of its opposite side will be equal to the other two ratios of angle measure to opposite side. All proportions will be equal. The Law of Sines is based on proportions and is presented symbolically two ways.
$sin α a = sin β b = sin γ c$
$a sin α = b sin β = c sin γ$
To solve an oblique triangle, use any pair of applicable ratios.
Solving for Two Unknown Sides and Angle of an AAS Triangle
Solve the triangle shown in [link] to the nearest tenth.
The three angles must add up to 180 degrees. From this, we can determine that
To find an unknown side, we need to know the corresponding angle and a known ratio. We know that angle $\alpha =50°$and its corresponding side$a=10.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$We can use the following proportion from the Law of Sines to find the length of$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$
Similarly, to solve for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$we set up another proportion.

# Using The Law of Sines to Solve SSA Triangles
We can use the Law of Sines to solve any oblique triangle, but some solutions may not be straightforward. In some cases, more than one triangle may satisfy the given criteria, which we describe as an ambiguous case. Triangles classified as SSA, those in which we know the lengths of two sides and the measurement of the angle opposite one of the given sides, may result in one or two solutions, or even no solution.
Possible Outcomes for SSA Triangles
Oblique triangles in the category SSA may have four different outcomes. [link] illustrates the solutions with the known sides$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and known angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha .$
Solving an Oblique SSA Triangle
Solve the triangle in [link] for the missing side and find the missing angle measures to the nearest tenth.
Use the Law of Sines to find angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and then side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Solving for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$we have the proportion
However, in the diagram, angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$appears to be an obtuse angle and may be greater than 90°. How did we get an acute angle, and how do we find the measurement of$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta ?\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Let’s investigate further. Dropping a perpendicular from$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and viewing the triangle from a right angle perspective, we have [link]. It appears that there may be a second triangle that will fit the given criteria.
The angle supplementary to$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$is approximately equal to 49.9°, which means that$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta =180°-49.9°=130.1°.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$(Remember that the sine function is positive in both the first and second quadrants.) Solving for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma ,$ we have
We can then use these measurements to solve the other triangle. Since$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\gamma }^{\prime }\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$is supplementary to$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma ,$ we have
Now we need to find$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{c}^{\prime }.$
We have
Finally,
To summarize, there are two triangles with an angle of 35°, an adjacent side of 8, and an opposite side of 6, as shown in [link].
However, we were looking for the values for the triangle with an obtuse angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta .\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$We can see them in the first triangle (a) in [link].
Given$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =80°,a=120,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b=121,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$find the missing side and angles. If there is more than one possible solution, show both.

Solution 2
Solving for the Unknown Sides and Angles of a SSA Triangle
In the triangle shown in [link], solve for the unknown side and angles. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
In choosing the pair of ratios from the Law of Sines to use, look at the information given. In this case, we know the angle$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\gamma =85°,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and its corresponding side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c=12,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$and we know side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b=9.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$We will use this proportion to solve for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta .$
To find$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$apply the inverse sine function. The inverse sine will produce a single result, but keep in mind that there may be two values for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta .\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$It is important to verify the result, as there may be two viable solutions, only one solution (the usual case), or no solutions.
In this case, if we subtract$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$from 180°, we find that there may be a second possible solution. Thus,$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta =180°-48.3°\approx 131.7°.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$To check the solution, subtract both angles, 131.7° and 85°, from 180°. This gives
which is impossible, and so$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta \approx 48.3°.$
To find the remaining missing values, we calculate$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =180°-85°-48.3°\approx 46.7°.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Now, only side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$is needed. Use the Law of Sines to solve for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$by one of the proportions.
The complete set of solutions for the given triangle is
Given$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =80°,a=100,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b=10,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$find the missing side and angles. If there is more than one possible solution, show both. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
$\beta \approx 5.7°,\gamma \approx 94.3°,c\approx 101.3$
Finding the Triangles That Meet the Given Criteria
Find all possible triangles if one side has length 4 opposite an angle of 50°, and a second side has length 10.
Using the given information, we can solve for the angle opposite the side of length 10. See [link].
We can stop here without finding the value of$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha .\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Because the range of the sine function is$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left[-1,1\right],\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$it is impossible for the sine value to be 1.915. In fact, inputting$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(1.915\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$in a graphing calculator generates an ERROR DOMAIN. Therefore, no triangles can be drawn with the provided dimensions.
Determine the number of triangles possible given$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a=31,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b=26,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta =48°.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$

# Finding the Area of an Oblique Triangle Using the Sine Function
Now that we can solve a triangle for missing values, we can use some of those values and the sine function to find the area of an oblique triangle. Recall that the area formula for a triangle is given as$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}bh,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$where$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$is base and$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$is height. For oblique triangles, we must find$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$before we can use the area formula. Observing the two triangles in [link], one acute and one obtuse, we can drop a perpendicular to represent the height and then apply the trigonometric property$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$to write an equation for area in oblique triangles. In the acute triangle, we have$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =\frac{h}{c}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$or$c\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\alpha =h.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$However, in the obtuse triangle, we drop the perpendicular outside the triangle and extend the base$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}b\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$to form a right triangle. The angle used in calculation is$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\alpha }^{\prime },\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$or$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}180-\alpha .$
Thus,
Similarly,
Area of an Oblique Triangle
The formula for the area of an oblique triangle is given by
$Area= 1 2 bcsin α = 1 2 acsin β = 1 2 absin γ$
This is equivalent to one-half of the product of two sides and the sine of their included angle.
Finding the Area of an Oblique Triangle

Using the formula, we have
Find the area of the triangle given$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\beta =42°,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a=7.2\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{ft},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}c=3.4\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{ft}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$Round the area to the nearest tenth.

# Solving Applied Problems Using the Law of Sines
The more we study trigonometric applications, the more we discover that the applications are countless. Some are flat, diagram-type situations, but many applications in calculus, engineering, and physics involve three dimensions and motion.
Finding an Altitude
Find the altitude of the aircraft in the problem introduced at the beginning of this section, shown in [link]. Round the altitude to the nearest tenth of a mile.
To find the elevation of the aircraft, we first find the distance from one station to the aircraft, such as the side$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a,$ and then use right triangle relationships to find the height of the aircraft,$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h.$
Because the angles in the triangle add up to 180 degrees, the unknown angle must be 180°−15°−35°=130°. This angle is opposite the side of length 20, allowing us to set up a Law of Sines relationship.
The distance from one station to the aircraft is about 14.98 miles.
Now that we know$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$we can use right triangle relationships to solve for$\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h.$
The aircraft is at an altitude of approximately 3.9 miles.

• According to the Law of Sines, the ratio of the measurement of one of the angles to the length of its opposite side equals the other two ratios of angle measure to opposite side.
• There are three possible cases: ASA, AAS, SSA. Depending on the information given, we can choose the appropriate equation to find the requested solution. See [link].
• The ambiguous case arises when an oblique triangle can have different outcomes.
• There are three possible cases that arise from SSA arrangement—a single solution, two possible solutions, and no solution. See [link] and [link].
• The Law of Sines can be used to solve triangles with given criteria. See [link].
• The general area formula for triangles translates to oblique triangles by first finding the appropriate height value. See [link].

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 3 Data Handling Exercise 3.2
Ex 3.2 Class 7 Maths Question 1.
The scores in mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students is as follows:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Find the mode and median of this data. Are they same?
Solution:
Given data:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Let us arrange the given data in increasing order
Since 20 occurs 4 times (highest)
∴ Mode = 20
n = 15 (odd)
∴ Median = $$\frac{n+1}{2} \text { th term }=\frac{15+1}{2}$$
= 8th term = 20
Thus, median = 20 and mode = 20
∴ Mode and median are same.
Ex 3.2 Class 7 Maths Question 2.
The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players is as follows:
6, 15, 120, 50, 100, 80, 10, 15, 8, 10, 15
Find the mean, mode and median of this data. Are the three same?
Solution:
Given data:
6, 15, 120, 50, 100, 80, 10, 15, 8, 10, 15
Arranging the given data in increasing order, we get
Here, 15 occurs 3 times (highest)
∴ Mode = 15
n = 11 (odd)
∴ Median = $$\left(\frac{11+1}{2}\right)^{t h}$$ term = 6th term = 15
Thus mean = 39, mode = 15 and median = 15
No, they are not same.
Ex 3.2 Class 7 Maths Question 3.
The weights (in kg) of 15 students of a class are:
38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47
(i) Find the mode and median of this data.
(ii) Is there more than one mode?
Solution:
Given data: 38, 42, 35, 37,45, 50, 32,43, 43,40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47
Arranging in increasing order, we get
(i) Here, 38 and 42 occur 3 times (highest)
Thus mode = 38 and 43
n = 15(odd)
Median = $$\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{th}} \text { term }=\left(\frac{15+1}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{th}}$$ term
= 8th term = 40
Thus mode 38 and 43 and median = 40
(ii) Yes, the given data has two modes i.e. 38 and 43.
Ex 3.2 Class 7 Maths Question 4.
Find the mode and median of the data:
13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14
Solution:
Arranging the given data in increasing order, we get
Here, 14 occur 3 times (highest)
Thus, mode = 14
n = 9(odd)
∴ Median = $$\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{\text { th }} \text { term }=\left(\frac{9+1}{2}\right)^{\text { th }}$$ term
= 5th term = 14
Hence, mode = 14 and median = 14.
Ex 3.2 Class 7 Maths Question 5.
Tell whether the statement is true or false.
(i) The mode is always one of the number in a data.
(ii) The mean is one of the numbers in a data.
(iii) The median is always one of the numbers in a data.
(iv) The data 6, 4, 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, 9 has mean 9.

# Slope Fields
In this section, we'll see the first method we have of analyzing differential equations that we don't know how to solve. This method will work for any first-order diff eq. We'll start by learning how to draw a picture that represents all the possible solutions to a first order equation, but we'll quickly see that while it's not that difficult to do, it can be very tedious, so we generally rely on computers to draw these graphs for us. The skill we really need, therefore, is the ability to read these graphs and make sense of them.
## Drawing Slope Fields
We'll illustrate this with a simple example: $y'=t+y.$ Clearly, $$t$$ is the independent variable, and $$y$$ is a function of $$t$$. We'll learn in a few sections how to solve this kind of equation, but for now we can't get an explicit solution. However, if we knew the value of $$y$$ for some value of $$t$$, we would also know the value of $$y'$$ at that point. We can therefore find the value of $$y'$$ for every possible combination of $$t$$ and $$y$$. Each combination of $$t$$ and $$y$$ represents a point that we can plot, and $$y'$$ at that point is the slope of the solution that would pass through that point.
Therefore we can build a table like the one below:
$$t$$$$y$$$$y'=t+y$$
0$$\hspace{0.5in}$$0$$\hspace{0.5in}$$0
011
101
112
$$\vdots$$$$\vdots$$$$\vdots$$
To draw the slope field, we sketch a short segment at each point with the appropriate slope. The completed graph looks like the following:
### What does a slope field mean?
The most basic way to read a slope field is to think of it as a wind map. If you drop a leaf onto this map, where will it go? This of course depends on where you drop it. The slope field represents all the solutions to the differential equation (the family of solutions we saw at the end of the last section). The specific solution depends on the initial condition, which is the spot where the metaphorical leaf is dropped.
For instance, if the initial condition is that $$y(0)=1$$, meaning that $$y=1$$ when $$x=0$$, the solution looks like this curve:
If, on the other hand, the initial condition is $$y(0)=-2$$, the solution looks like this:
## Analyzing Slope Fields
Again, it gets really tedious really fast to draw slope fields by hand, so we use computers to draw them instead. What we need to be able to do is read slope fields, so we'll practice making some simple observations. To do this, I've embedded a Wolfram Demonstration, but it may not work with your browser (last time I checked, it worked with Firefox). If you're using Chrome, you should still be able to download the Wolfram CDF player and download the demonstration. Just in case, I'll post screenshots of the relevant parts.
Slope Fields from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project by Charles E. Oelsner
Take a look at the following example; we'll start with this one.
We'll make two observations from this slope field:
1. The slopes depend solely on $$y$$ (we can also tell this simply by looking at the differential equation). Notice that if you look along a horizontal line (where $$y$$ stays constant), the slopes are all the same. This is called an autonomous differential equation, because it does not depend on the independent variable.
2. More importantly, notice that when $$y=1$$, the slopes are all 0. This is called an equilibrium solution, because if the initial condition falls on this line, the solution will stay constant for ever.
### Equilibrium Solutions
Equilibrium solutions are one of the most important features that we can observe on a slope field. Look at another example:
You should notice two equilibrium solutions, one at $$y=1$$ and one at $$y=-1$$ (we could also have found this by solving $$y^2-1=0$$). Look at them again, though; there is a distinct difference between them. Around $$y=1$$, the slopes diverge from the equilibrium, and around $$y=-1$$ the slopes converge toward the equilibrium. The top one is called an unstable equilibrium, and the bottom one is is called a stable equilibrium. The two classic ways to illustrate the difference are shown in the following images:
The two diagrams on the left represent a stable equilibrium. If you place a marble in the bottom of a bowl, it will stay there, and if you start a pendulum in the vertical position, it will stay there as well. This is simply what it means to be an equilibrium; the system doesn't try to change anything. However, these are both stable equilibria because, if you disturb the system slightly (by moving the marble a little bit or by giving the pendulum a small push), it will return to this equilibrium.
On the other hand, consider the two diagrams on the right; these represent unstable equilibria. If the bowl is turned upside down, the bottom (now the top) is still an equilibrium point, because if you balance a marble perfectly on the peak, it will stay there. Similarly, with a pendulum pinned at the bottom, if you balance it perfectly, it will not move. However, in either of these cases, if you disturb the system even slightly, it will leave the equilibrium, never to return on its own. |

Exercise 10.1 Page No: 10.10
1. Show that f (x) = |x – 3| is continuous but not differentiable at x = 3.
Solution:
2. Show that f (x) = x 1/3 is not differentiable at x = 0.
Solution:
Since, LHD and RHD does not exist at x = 0
Hence, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0
Solution:
Now we have to check differentiability of given function at x = 3
That is LHD (at x = 3) = RHD (at x = 3)
= 12
Since, (LHD at x = 3) = (RHD at x = 3)
Hence, f(x) is differentiable at x = 3.
4. Show that the function f is defined as follows
Is continuous at x = 2, but not differentiable thereat.
Solution:
Since, LHL = RHL = f (2)
Hence, F(x) is continuous at x = 2
Now we have to differentiability at x = 2
= 5
Since, (RHD at x = 2) ≠(LHD at x = 2)
Hence, f (2) is not differentiable at x = 2.
5. Discuss the continuity and differentiability of the function f (x) = |x| + |x -1| in the interval of (-1, 2).
Solution:
We know that a polynomial and a constant function is continuous and differentiable everywhere. So, f(x) is continuous and differentiable for x ∈
(-1, 0) and x ∈ (0, 1) and (1, 2).
We need to check continuity and differentiability at x = 0 and x = 1.
Continuity at x = 0
Since, f(x) is continuous at x = 1
Now we have to check differentiability at x = 0
For differentiability, LHD (at x = 0) = RHD (at x = 0)
Differentiability at x = 0
Since, (LHD at x = 0) ≠(RHD at x = 0)
So, f(x) is differentiable at x = 0.
Now we have to check differentiability at x = 1
For differentiability, LHD (at x = 1) = RHD (at x = 1)
Differentiability at x = 1
Since, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1.
So, f(x) is continuous on (- 1, 2) but not differentiable at x = 0, 1 |

Chapter 2 Modeling Distributions of Data
2.1 Describing Location in a Distribution 2.2 Normal Distributions
Section 2.1 Describing Location in a Distribution
Learning Objectives After this section, you should be able to… MEASURE position using percentiles INTERPRET cumulative relative frequency graphs MEASURE position using z-scores TRANSFORM data DEFINE and DESCRIBE density curves
Describing Location in a Distribution
Measuring Position: Percentiles One way to describe the location of a value in a distribution is to tell what percent of observations are less than it. Describing Location in a Distribution Definition: The pth percentile of a distribution is the value with p percent of the observations less than it. 6 7 9 03 Jenny earned a score of 86 on her test. How did she perform relative to the rest of the class? Example, p. 85 Her score was greater than 21 of the 25 observations. Since 21 of the 25, or 84%, of the scores are below hers, Jenny is at the 84th percentile in the class’s test score distribution. 6 7 9 03
Describing Location in a Distribution
Cumulative Relative Frequency Graphs A cumulative relative frequency graph (or ogive) displays the cumulative relative frequency of each class of a frequency distribution. Describing Location in a Distribution Age of First 44 Presidents When They Were Inaugurated Age Frequency Relative frequency Cumulative frequency Cumulative relative frequency 40-44 2 2/44 = 4.5% 2/44 = 4.5% 45-49 7 7/44 = 15.9% 9 9/44 = 20.5% 50-54 13 13/44 = 29.5% 22 22/44 = 50.0% 55-59 12 12/44 = 34% 34 34/44 = 77.3% 60-64 41 41/44 = 93.2% 65-69 3 3/44 = 6.8% 44 44/44 = 100%
Describing Location in a Distribution
Interpreting Cumulative Relative Frequency Graphs Use the graph from page 88 to answer the following questions. Was Barack Obama, who was inaugurated at age 47, unusually young? What is his percentile? Estimate and interpret the 65th percentile of the distribution Describing Location in a Distribution 65 11 58 47
Describing Location in a Distribution
Measuring Position: z-Scores A z-score tells us how many standard deviations from the mean an observation falls, and in what direction. Describing Location in a Distribution Definition: If x is an observation from a distribution that has known mean and standard deviation, the standardized value of x is: A standardized value is often called a z-score. Jenny earned a score of 86 on her test. The class mean is 80 and the standard deviation is What is her standardized score?
Describing Location in a Distribution
Using z-scores for Comparison Describing Location in a Distribution We can use z-scores to compare the position of individuals in different distributions. Example, p. 91 Jenny earned a score of 86 on her statistics test. The class mean was 80 and the standard deviation was She earned a score of 82 on her chemistry test. The chemistry scores had a fairly symmetric distribution with a mean 76 and standard deviation of 4. On which test did Jenny perform better relative to the rest of her class?
Describing Location in a Distribution
Transforming Data Describing Location in a Distribution Transforming converts the original observations from the original units of measurements to another scale. Transformations can affect the shape, center, and spread of a distribution. Effect of Adding (or Subracting) a Constant Adding the same number a (either positive, zero, or negative) to each observation: adds a to measures of center and location (mean, median, quartiles, percentiles), but Does not change the shape of the distribution or measures of spread (range, IQR, standard deviation). Example, p. 93 n Mean sx Min Q1 M Q3 Max IQR Range Guess(m) 44 16.02 7.14 8 11 15 17 40 6 32 Error (m) 3.02 -5 -2 2 4 27
Describing Location in a Distribution
Transforming Data Describing Location in a Distribution Effect of Multiplying (or Dividing) by a Constant Multiplying (or dividing) each observation by the same number b (positive, negative, or zero): multiplies (divides) measures of center and location by b multiplies (divides) measures of spread by |b|, but does not change the shape of the distribution n Mean sx Min Q1 M Q3 Max IQR Range Error(ft) 44 9.91 23.43 -16.4 -6.56 6.56 13.12 88.56 19.68 104.96 Error (m) 3.02 7.14 -5 -2 2 4 27 6 32 Example, p. 95
Describing Location in a Distribution
Density Curves In Chapter 1, we developed a kit of graphical and numerical tools for describing distributions. Now, we’ll add one more step to the strategy. Describing Location in a Distribution Exploring Quantitative Data Always plot your data: make a graph. Look for the overall pattern (shape, center, and spread) and for striking departures such as outliers. Calculate a numerical summary to briefly describe center and spread. 4. Sometimes the overall pattern of a large number of observations is so regular that we can describe it by a smooth curve.
Describing Location in a Distribution
Density Curve Definition: A density curve is a curve that is always on or above the horizontal axis, and has area exactly 1 underneath it. A density curve describes the overall pattern of a distribution. The area under the curve and above any interval of values on the horizontal axis is the proportion of all observations that fall in that interval. Describing Location in a Distribution The overall pattern of this histogram of the scores of all 947 seventh-grade students in Gary, Indiana, on the vocabulary part of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) can be described by a smooth curve drawn through the tops of the bars.
Describing Location in a Distribution
Describing Density Curves Our measures of center and spread apply to density curves as well as to actual sets of observations. Describing Location in a Distribution Distinguishing the Median and Mean of a Density Curve The median of a density curve is the equal-areas point, the point that divides the area under the curve in half. The mean of a density curve is the balance point, at which the curve would balance if made of solid material. The median and the mean are the same for a symmetric density curve. They both lie at the center of the curve. The mean of a skewed curve is pulled away from the median in the direction of the long tail.
Section 2.1 Describing Location in a Distribution
Summary In this section, we learned that… There are two ways of describing an individual’s location within a distribution – the percentile and z-score. A cumulative relative frequency graph allows us to examine location within a distribution. It is common to transform data, especially when changing units of measurement. Transforming data can affect the shape, center, and spread of a distribution. We can sometimes describe the overall pattern of a distribution by a density curve (an idealized description of a distribution that smooths out the irregularities in the actual data).
Looking Ahead… In the next Section…
We’ll learn about one particularly important class of density curves – the Normal Distributions We’ll learn The Rule The Standard Normal Distribution Normal Distribution Calculations, and Assessing Normality In the next Section…

3. Draw a line under the number you just wrote and the number you are finding the prime factorization of
4. Repeat step 2 with the number you just wrote until that number can no longer be divided evenly
5. The numbers written on the lines will be the prime factors of the number you started with
For example, to calculate the prime factorization of 929000 using a factor tree, we would start by writing 929000 on a piece of paper. Then, we would draw a line under it and begin finding factors.
The final prime factorization of 929000 would be 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 929.
2) Use a factorization method :
There are a few different factorization methods that can be used to calculate the prime factorization of a number.
One common method is to start by dividing the number by the smallest prime number that will divide evenly into it.
Then, continue dividing the number by successively larger prime numbers until the number has been fully factorised.
For example, to calculate the prime factorization of 929000 using this method, we keep dividing until it gives a non-zero remainder.
929000 ÷ 2 = 464500
464500 ÷ 2 = 232250
232250 ÷ 2 = 116125
116125 ÷ 5 = 23225
23225 ÷ 5 = 4645
4645 ÷ 5 = 929
929 ÷ 929 = 1
So the prime factors of 929000 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 929.

To check the divisibility of a number by 11, we find the difference between the sum of the digits at odd places (from the right) and the sum of the digits at even places (from the right) of the number. If the difference is 0 or a number divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.
For 10000001,
Sum of digits at odd places = 1
Sum of digits at even places = 1
difference = 1 - 1 = 0
Hence, 10000001 is divisible by 11
For divisibility by 9 - if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.
The sum of digits of 459756 is 36 which is divisible by 9.
Hence, 459756 is divisible by 9. |
# How do you find the axis of symmetry, graph and find the maximum or minimum value of the function y=2x^2 - 18x +13?
Sep 10, 2017
Axis of symmetry: $x = \frac{9}{2}$
Vertex (minimum point): $\left(\frac{9}{2} , - \frac{55}{2}\right)$
X-intercepts: $\left(\frac{9 + \sqrt{55}}{2} , 0\right)$ and $\left(\frac{9 - \sqrt{55}}{2} , 0\right)$
Y-intercept: $\left(0 , 13\right)$
Refer to the explanation for the process and approximate values for vertex, x-intercepts, and y-intercept.
#### Explanation:
Given:
$y = 2 {x}^{2} - 18 x + 13$ is a quadratic equation in standard form:
$y = a {x}^{2} + b x + c$,
where:
$a = 2$, $b = - 18$, and $c = 13$
To graph a quadratic function, you need to have at least the vertex and x-intercepts. The y-intercept is helpful, also.
Axis of Symmetry: vertical line $\left(x , \pm \infty\right)$ that divides the parabola into two equal halves. The variable for the line is $x = \frac{- b}{2 a}$.
$x = \frac{- \left(- 18\right)}{2 \cdot 2}$
$x = \frac{18}{4}$
$x = \frac{9}{2}$ $\leftarrow$ axis of symmetry and $x$-value for the vertex
Vertex: the maximum or minimum point of the parabola. If $a > 0$, the vertex is the minimum point and the parabola will open upward. If $a < 0$, the vertex is the maximum point and the parabola will open downward.
We have the $x$-value of the vertex. To determine the $y$-value, substitute $\frac{9}{2}$ for $x$ in the equation and solve for $y$.
$y = 2 {\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)}^{2} - 18 \left(\frac{9}{2}\right) + 13$
Simplify.
$y = 2 \left(\frac{81}{4}\right) - \frac{162}{2} + 13$
All terms must have a common denominator of $4$. Multiply fractions without a denominator of $4$ by a multiplier equal to $1$ that will produce an equivalent fraction with a denominator of $4$. For example, $\frac{\textcolor{m a \ge n t a}{3}}{\textcolor{m a \ge n t a}{3}} = 1$ Recall that any whole number, $n$, is understood to have a denominator of $1$. So $13 = \frac{13}{1}$
$y = \frac{162}{4} - \frac{162}{2} \times \frac{\textcolor{red}{2}}{\textcolor{red}{2}} + \frac{13}{1} \times \frac{\textcolor{b l u e}{4}}{\textcolor{b l u e}{4}}$
$y = \frac{162}{4} - \frac{324}{4} + \frac{52}{4}$
$y = \frac{\left(162 - 324 + 52\right)}{4}$
$y = \frac{- 110}{4}$
$y = - \frac{55}{2}$
Vertex: $\left(\frac{9}{2} , - \frac{55}{2}\right)$ $\leftarrow$ minimum point of the parabola
Approximate vertex: $\left(4.5 , - 27.5\right)$
Substitute $0$ for $y$ and use the quadratic formula to find the roots and the x-intercepts.
$0 = 2 {x}^{2} - 18 x + 13$
$x = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{{b}^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}$
Plug in the known values.
$x = \frac{- \left(- 18\right) \pm \sqrt{{\left(- 18\right)}^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 13}}{2 \cdot 2}$
Simplify.
$x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 104}}{4}$
$x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{220}}{4}$
Prime factorize $220$.
$x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{\left(2 \times 2\right) \times 5 \times 11}}{4}$
$x = \frac{18 \pm 2 \sqrt{55}}{4}$
Simplify.
$x = \frac{9 \pm \sqrt{55}}{2}$
Roots: values for $x$
$x = \frac{9 + \sqrt{55}}{2}$,$\frac{9 - \sqrt{55}}{2}$
Approximate values for $x$.
$x = 8.21 ,$$0.792$
X-intercepts: values of $x$ when $y = 0$
$x$-intercepts: $\left(\frac{9 + \sqrt{55}}{2} , 0\right)$ and $\left(\frac{9 - \sqrt{55}}{2} , 0\right)$
Approximate $x$-intercepts: $\left(8.21 , 0\right)$ and $\left(0.792 , 0\right)$
Y-Intercept: value of $y$ when $x = 0$
$y = 2 {\left(0\right)}^{2} - 18 \left(0\right) + 13$
$y = 13$
Y-intercept: $\left(0 , 13\right)$
Plot the vertex and x-intercepts and sketch a parabola through the points. Do not connect the dots.

Some notes on Quadratic equation plots
#### Explanation:
$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{Axis of symmetry - a sort of cheat method}}$
This uses the beginnings of completing the square.
Write as: $y = 2 \left({x}^{2} - \frac{18}{2} x\right) + 13$
$\textcolor{red}{{x}_{\text{vertex")=x_("axis of symmetry}} =} \left(- \frac{1}{2}\right) \times \left(- \frac{18}{2}\right) = \textcolor{red}{+ 4.5 \to \frac{9}{2}}$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{y-intercept}}$
This takes on the value of $c$ in $y = a {x}^{2} + b x + c$
color(red)(y_("intercept")=c=+13 ->(x,y)=(0,13)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{x-intercepts and vertex}}$
Note that the vertex is the point of maximum or minimum.
2 of these x-intercepts exist if the graph crosses the x-axis
1 of these exists if the x-axis is tangential to the vertex.
Some people state that there is still two but they are the same as each other.
Sometimes determining these can take a bit or work. Other times not so.
Initial step is to set $y = 0$ It has to be 0 for the graph to cross the axis as x-axis is at $y = 0$
$y = 0 = 2 {x}^{2} - 18 x + 13$
If you can spot how to factorise this then that would be the quicker method. For most people this only works if the factors are whole numbers. In this case they are not whole numbers.
There are two options: completing the square or using the other formula.
$y = a {x}^{2} + b x + c$ where a=2; b=-18; c=13
${x}_{\text{intercept")=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)" ".......Equation color(white)("d}} t y p e 1$
y=0=a(x+b/(2a))^2+k+c" ".......Equation color(white)("d")type2
$E q u a t i o n \textcolor{w h i t e}{\text{d}} t y p e 2$ can be used to directly determine both the vertex and x-intercepts.
Part of $E q u a t i o n \textcolor{w h i t e}{\text{d}} t y p e 1$ can be used to indicate if the plot actually has an x-intercept.
The determinant $\to {b}^{2} - 4 a c$ must be such that ${b}^{2} - 4 a c \ge 0$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The original equation and the completed square are different forms of the same condition. As such the plot of one will be the same as the plot of the other.
Zoom in and you will see that the blue plot follows the same path as the red. |
# How to State the Null Hypothesis in Statistics
Hypothesis Testing > How to State the Null Hypothesis
Watch the video or read the steps below:
### How to State the Null Hypothesis from a Word Problem
You’ll be asked to convert a word problem into a hypothesis statement in statistics that will include a null hypothesis and an alternate hypothesis. Breaking your problem into a few small steps makes these problems much easier to handle.
## How to State the Null Hypothesis
Sample Problem: A researcher thinks that if knee surgery patients go to physical therapy twice a week (instead of 3 times), their recovery period will be longer. Average recovery times for knee surgery patients is 8.2 weeks.
Hypothesis testing is vital to test patient outcomes.
Step 1: Figure out the hypothesis from the problem. The hypothesis is usually hidden in a word problem, and is sometimes a statement of what you expect to happen in the experiment. The hypothesis in the above question is “I expect the average recovery period to be greater than 8.2 weeks.”
Step 2: Convert the hypothesis to math. Remember that the average is sometimes written as μ.
H1: μ > 8.2
Broken down into (somewhat) English, that’s H1 (The hypothesis): μ (the average) > (is greater than) 8.2
Step 3: State what will happen if the hypothesis doesn’t come true. If the recovery time isn’t greater than 8.2 weeks, there are only two possibilities, that the recovery time is equal to 8.2 weeks or less than 8.2 weeks.
H0: μ ≤ 8.2
Broken down again into English, that’s H0 (The null hypothesis): μ (the average) ≤ (is less than or equal to) 8.2
## How to State the Null Hypothesis: Part Two
### But what if the researcher doesn’t have any idea what will happen?
Sample Problem: A researcher is studying the effects of radical exercise program on knee surgery patients. There is a good chance the therapy will improve recovery time, but there’s also the possibility it will make it worse. Average recovery times for knee surgery patients is 8.2 weeks.
Step 1: State what will happen if the experiment doesn’t make any difference. That’s the null hypothesis–that nothing will happen. In this experiment, if nothing happens, then the recovery time will stay at 8.2 weeks.
H0: μ = 8.2
Broken down into English, that’s H0 (The null hypothesis): μ (the average) =(is equal to) 8.2
Step 2: Figure out the alternate hypothesis. The alternate hypothesis is the opposite of the null hypothesis. In other words, what happens if our experiment makes a difference?
H1: μ ≠ 8.2
In English again, that’s H1 (The alternate hypothesis): μ (the average) ≠ (is not equal to) 8.2
That’s How to State the Null Hypothesis!

1. Angie Widdows
This was a good example. It is the next step that I often have problems with. This example helps because it (like others) lists out the meaning of the symbols. Very helpful
2. Lisa Barcomb
Understanding the null hypothesis is much easier now because when you go to convert it to math it makes a lot more sense in figuring out the formulas that you are suppose to be working with. I think I put more into these problems then I really need to.
3. Vanessa DuBarry
This example really helped me, because it explains how to put it into english, and at first it was kind of hard knowing what sign goes were, but this really helped.
4. Donna Allen
At first, I was a little intimidated by this. But, after going over your instructions, it seems fairly easy. Thanks!
5. Bill Bryan
I was starting to get that sinking feeling until I read this, love the matter of fact approch to discribing the steps.
6. Dave Ocran
there has been a better understanding as to how approach a question ,if there no given notations such as at :at par,no difference ,less than ,greater than and at least.tanx
7. Tripsy
Thank you for your explanations but I am still having some difficulty stating the proper null hypothesis. What is the null hypothesis in this example…
We would like to know if the cholesterol level depends on the age and for that reason we collect cholesterol level of 10 people, first when they were 17 and then when they are 46.
8. Andale
It sounds like the “we” in the question is you/the scientist hypothesizing that cholesterol depends upon age. That’s the alternate hypothesis — the one you’re testing. The null is the opposite (cholesterol doesn’t depend on age).
9. Tripsy
Thanks. Would it be also right to say the null hypothesis for this is “the cholesterol at age 17 is equal to the cholesterol at age 49?” Being that we’re comparing two groups? |

1. Find the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations. If the real roots exist, find them;
(i) 2x2 - 3x + 5 = 0
(ii) 3x2 - 4√3x + 4 = 0
(iii) 2x2 - 6x + 3 = 0
(i) Consider the equation
x2 - 3x + 5 = 0
Comparing it with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = -3 and c = 5
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
( - 3)2 - 4 (2) (5) = 9 - 40
= - 31
As b2 - 4ac < 0,
Therefore, no real root is possible for the given equation.
(ii) 3x2 - 4√3x + 4 = 0
Comparing it with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = 3, b = -4√3 and c = 4
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (-4√3)- 4(3)(4)
= 48 - 48 = 0
As b2 - 4ac = 0,
Therefore, real roots exist for the given equation and they are equal to each other.
And the roots will be -b/2a and -b/2a.-b/2= -(-4√3)/2×3 = 4√3/6 = 2√3/3 = 2/√3
Therefore, the roots are 2/√3 and 2/√3.
(iii) 2x2 - 6x + 3 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = -6, c = 3
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (-6)2 - 4 (2) (3)
= 36 - 24 = 12
As b2 - 4ac > 0,
Therefore, distinct real roots exist for this equation:
2. Find the values of k for each of the following quadratic equations, so that they have two equal roots.
(i) 2x2 + kx + 3 = 0
(ii) kx (x - 2) + 6 = 0
(i) 2x2 + kx + 3 = 0
Comparing equation with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = k and c = 3
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (k)2 - 4(2) (3)
k2 - 24
For equal roots,
Discriminant = 0
k2 - 24 = 0
k2 = 24
k = ±√24 = ±2√6
(ii) kx(x - 2) + 6 = 0
or kx2 - 2kx + 6 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = kb = - 2k and c = 6
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= ( - 2k)2 - 4 (k) (6)
= 4k2 - 24k
For equal roots,
b2 - 4ac = 0
4k2 - 24k = 0
4k (k - 6) = 0
Either 4k = 0
or k = 6 = 0
k = 0 or k = 6
However, if k = 0, then the equation will not have the terms 'x2' and 'x'.
Therefore, if this equation has two equal roots, k should be 6 only.
3. Is it possible to design a rectangular mango grove whose length is twice its breadth, and the area is 800 m2? If so, find its length and breadth.
Let the breadth of mango grove be l.
Length of mango grove will be 2l.
Area of mango grove = (2l) (l)= 2l2
2l= 800
l= 800/2 = 400
l- 400 =0
Comparing this equation with al2 + bl + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = 0, c = 400
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (0)2 - 4 × (1) × ( - 400) = 1600
Here, b2 - 4ac > 0
Therefore, the equation will have real roots. And hence, the desired rectangular mango grove can be designed.
= ±20
However, length cannot be negative.
Therefore, breadth of mango grove = 20 m
Length of mango grove = 2 × 20 = 40 m
4. Is the following situation possible? If so, determine their present ages. The sum of the ages of two friends is 20 years. Four years ago, the product of their ages in years was 48.
Let the age of one friend be x years.
then the age of the other friend will be (20 - x) years.
4 years ago,
Age of 1st friend = (x - 4) years
Age of 2nd friend = (20 - x - 4) = (16 - x) years
A/q we get that,
(x - 4) (16 - x) = 48
16x - x2 - 64 + 4x = 48
- x2 + 20x - 112 = 0
x2 - 20x + 112 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax2 + bx c = 0, we get
a = 1b = -20 and c = 112
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (-20)2 - 4 × 112
= 400 - 448 = -48
b2 - 4ac < 0
Therefore, there will be no real solution possible for the equations. Such type of condition doesn't exist.
5. Is it possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 80 and area 400 m2? If so find its length and breadth.
Let the length and breadth of the park be l and b.
Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 80
l + b = 40
Or, b = 40 - l
Area = l×b = l(40 - l) = 40l240l - l2 = 400
l2 - 40l + 400 = 0
Comparing this equation with al2 + bl + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = -40, c = 400
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
(-40)2 - 4 × 400
= 1600 - 1600 = 0
b2 - 4ac = 0
Therefore, this equation has equal real roots. And hence, this situation is possible.
Root of this equation,l = -b/2a
l = (40)/2(1) = 40/2 = 20
Therefore, length of park, = 20 m
And breadth of park, = 40 - = 40 - 20 = 20 m. |

### Step
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(12, 6) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 12 × 6 = 72. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 7/6.

It also shows detailed step-by-step information about the fraction calculation procedure. Solve problems with two, three, or more fractions and numbers in one expression. (Source: www.hackmath.net)
### Add
An alternative method for finding a common denominator is to determine the least common multiple (LCM) for the denominators, then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Using the least common multiple can be more efficient and is more likely to result in a fraction in simplified form. In the example above, the denominators were 4, 6, and 2. The least common multiple is the first shared multiple of these three numbers.
Unlike adding and subtracting integers such as 2 and 8, fractions require a common denominator to undergo these operations. One method for finding a common denominator involves multiplying the numerators and denominators of all of the fractions involved by the product of the denominators of each fraction. Multiplying all of the denominators ensures that the new denominator is certain to be a multiple of each individual denominator. The numerators also need to be multiplied by the appropriate factors to preserve the value of the fraction as a whole. This is arguably the simplest way to ensure that the fractions have a common denominator. However, in most cases, the solutions to these equations will not appear in simplified form (the provided calculator computes the simplification automatically). Below is an example using this method.

# How to Conduct Normal Distribution Calculations
This guide will show you how to conduct normal distribution calculate the probability (area under the curve) of a standard normal distribution. It will first show you how to interpret a Standard Normal Distributions Table. It will then show you how to calculate the:
• probability less than a z-value
• probability greater than a z-value
• probability between z-values
• probability outside two z-values.
We have a calculator that calculates probabilities based on z-values for all the above situations. In addition, it also outputs all the working to get to the answer, so you know the logic of how to calculate the answer.
## How to Use the Standard Normal Distribution Table to conduct normal distribution
The most common form of standard normal distribution table that you see is a table similar to the one below (click image to enlarge):
The Standard Normal Distribution Table
The standard normal distribution table provides the probability that a normally distributed random variable Z, with mean equal to 0 and variance equal to 1, is less than or equal to z. It does this for positive values of z only (i.e., z-values on the right-hand side of the mean). What this means in practice is that if someone asks you to find the probability of a value being less than a specific, positive z-value, you can simply look that value up in the table. We call this area Φ. Thus, for this table, P(Z < a) = Φ(a), where a is positive.
Diagrammatically, the probability of Z less than ‘a’ being Φ(a), as determined from the standard normal distribution table, is shown below:
## Probability less than a z-value
P(Z < –a)
As explained above, the standard normal distribution table only provides the probability for values less than a positive z-value (i.e., z-values on the right-hand side of the mean). So how do we calculate the probability below a negative z-value (as illustrated below)?
We start by remembering that the standard normal distribution has a total area (probability) equal to 1 and it is also symmetrical about the mean. Thus, we can do the following to calculate negative z-values: we need to appreciate that the area under the curve covered by P(Z > a) is the same as the probability less than –a {P(Z < –a)} as illustrated below:
Making this connection is very important because from the standard normal distribution table, we can calculate the probability less than ‘a’, as ‘a’ is now a positive value. Imposing P(Z < a) on the above graph is illustrated below:
From the above illustration, and from our knowledge that the area under the standard normal distribution is equal to 1, we can conclude that the two areas add up to 1. We can, therefore, make the following statements:
Φ(a) + Φ(–a) = 1
∴ Φ(–a) = 1 – Φ(a)
Thus, we know that to find a value less than a negative z-value we use the following equation:
Φ(–a) = 1 – Φ(a), e.g. Φ(–1.43) = 1 – Φ(1.43)
Join the 10,000s of students, academics and professionals who rely on Laerd Statistics.
## Probability greater than a z-value
P(Z > a)
The probability of P(Z > a) is: 1 – Φ(a). To understand the reasoning behind this look at the illustration below:
You know Φ(a) and you know that the total area under the standard normal curve is 1 so by mathematical deduction: P(Z > a) is: 1 – Φ(a).
P(Z > –a)
The probability of P(Z > –a) is P(a), which is Φ(a). To understand this we need to appreciate the symmetry of the standard normal distribution curve. We are trying to find out the area below:
But by reflecting the area around the centre line (mean) we get the following:
Notice that this is the same size area as the area we are looking for, only we already know this area, as we can get it straight from the standard normal distribution table: it is P(Z < a). Therefore, the P(Z > –a) is P(Z < a), which is Φ(a).
## Probability between z-values
You are wanting to solve the following:
The key requirement to solve the probability between z-values is to understand that the probability between z-values is the difference between the probability of the greatest z-value and the lowest z-value:
P(a < Z < b) = P(Z < b) – P(Z < a)
which is illustrated below:
P(a < Z < b)
The probability of P(a < Z < b) is calculated as follows.
First separate the terms as the difference between z-scores:
P(a < Z < b) = P(Z < b) – P( Z < a) (explained in the section above)
Then express these as their respective probabilities under the standard normal distribution curve:
P(Z < b) – P(Z < a) = Φ(b) – Φ(a).
Therefore, P(a < Z < b) = Φ(b) – Φ(a), where a and b are positive.
P(–a < Z < b)
The probability of P(–a < Z < b) is illustrated below:
Need Help with Researchers or Data Analysts, Lets Help you with Data Analysis & Result Interpretation for your Project, Thesis or Dissertation?
We are Experts in SPSS, EVIEWS, AMOS, STATA, R, and Python
First separate the terms as the difference between z-scores:
P(–a < Z < b) = P(Z < b) – P(Z < –a)
Then express these as their respective probabilities under the standard normal distribution curve:
P(Z < b) – P(Z < –a) = Φ(b) – Φ(–a)
= Φ(b) – {1 – Φ(a)}P(Z < –a) explained above.
∴ P(–a < Z < b) = Φ(b) – {1 – Φ(a)}, where a is negative and b is positive.
P(–a < Z < –b)
The probability of P(–a < Z < –b) is illustrated below:
First separate the terms as the difference between z-scores:
P(–a < Z < –b) = P(Z < –b) – P( Z < –a)
Then express these as their respective probabilities under the standard normal distribution curve:
P(Z < b) – P(Z < –a) = Φ(–b) – Φ(–a)
= {1 – Φ(b)} – {1 – Φ(a)} P(Z < –a) explained above.
= 1 – Φ(b) – 1 + Φ(a)
= Φ(a) – Φ(b)
The above calculations can also be seen clearly in the diagram below:
Notice that the reflection results in a and b “swapping positions”.
## Probability outside of a range of z-values
An illustration of this type of problem is found below:
To solve these types of problems, you simply need to work out each separate area under the standard normal distribution curve and then add the probabilities together. This will give you the total probability.
When a is negative and b is positive (as above) the total probability is:
P(Z < –a) + P(Z > b) = Φ(–a) + {1 – Φ(b)} P(Z > b) explained above.
= {1 – Φ(a)} + {1 – Φ(b)} P(Z < –a) explained above.
= 1 – Φ(a) + 1 – Φ(b)
= 2 – Φ(a) – Φ(b)
When a and b are negative as illustrated below:
The total probability is:
P(Z < –a) + P(Z > –b) = Φ(–a) + Φ(b)P(Z > –b) explained above.
= {1 – Φ(a)} + Φ(b)P(Z < –a) explained above.
= 1 + Φ(b) – Φ(a)
When a and b are positive as illustrated below:
The total probability is:
P(Z < a) + P(Z > b) = Φ(a) + {1 – Φ(b)}P(Z > b) explained above.
= 1 + Φ(a) – Φ(b)

Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 1.
A book exhibition was held for four days in a school. The number of tickets sold at the counter on the first, second, third and final day was respectively 1094, 1812, 2050 and 2751. Find the total number of tickets sold on all the four days.
Solution:
Number of tickets sold on the first day = 1094
Number of tickets sold on the second day = 1812
Number of tickets sold on the third day = 2050
Number of tickets sold on the final day = 2751
∴ Total number of tickets sold on all the four days = 1094 + 1812 + 2050 + 2751 = 7,707.

In an election, the successful candidate registered 5,77,500 votes and his nearest rival secured 3,48,700 votes. By what margin did the successful candidate win the election?
Solution:
Number of votes secured by the successful candidate = 5,77,500
Number of votes secured by his nearest rival = 3,48,700
Therefore, margin of votes to win the election = 5,77,500 – 3,48,700 = 2,28,800
Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Kirti bookstore sold books worth Rs 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth Rs 4,00,768 in the second week of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the sale greater and by how much?
Solution:
Books sold in first week of June worth ₹2,85,891
Books sold in second week of the month worth ₹4,00,768
Therefore, total sale of books in the two weeks together
= Rs 2,85,891 + Rs 4,00,768 = Rs6,86,659
In the second week of the month, the sale of books was greater.
Difference of the sale of books
= Rs 4,00,768 – Rs 2,85,891 = Rs 1,14,877
Hence, in second week of june, the sale of books was more by ₹1,14,877.

Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 7.
A merchant had ₹78,592 with her. She placed an order for purchasing 40 radio sets at ₹1200 each. How much money will remain with her after the purchase?
Solution:
Amount of money with the merchant = ₹78,592
Number of radio sets = 40
Price of one radio set = ₹1200
Therefore, cost of 40 radio sets = ₹1200 x 40 = ₹48,000
Remaining money with the merchant = ₹78,592 – ₹48000 = ₹30,592
Hence, amount of ₹30,592 will remain with her after purchasing the radio sets.
Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 8.
A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56. By how much was his answer greater than the correct answer?
Solution:
Student has multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56.
Difference between the two multiplications = (65 – 56) x 7236 = 9 x 7236 = 65124
(We don’t need to do both the multiplied)

To stitch a shirt, 2 m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain?
Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 11.
The distance between the school and the house of a student is 1 km 875 m. Everyday she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.
Solution:
Distance between school and house = 1 km 875 m = (1000 + 875) m = 1875 m.
Distance travelled by the student in both ways = 2 x 1875 = 3750 m
Distance travelled in 6 days = 3750 m x 6 – 22500 m = 22 km 500 m.
Hence, total distance covered in six days = 22 km 500 m.
Ex 1.2 Class 6 Maths Question 12.

# Factors of 64
Definition of factors of 64: If a number completely divides 64 without leaving a remainder, then that number is called a factor of 64. Thus, we can say that the factors of 64 are the divisors of 64.
Here, we will learn about the factors of 64 and the prime factors of 64. We have:
• 64 = 2×2×2×2×2×2 =26 is the prime factorization of 64.
• The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.
• The prime factor of 64 is 2 only
• Negative factors of 64 are –1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32, and –64.
## What are the Factors of 64?
Let us write the number 64 multiplicatively in all possible ways. We definitely have:
64 = 1×64
64 = 2×32
64 = 4×16
64 = 8×8
As there are no other ways we can write 64 multiplicatively, so we will stop right now. So the factors of 64 in pairs are given as follows:
Thus the pair factors of 64 are (1, 64), (2, 32), (4, 16), and (8, 8). As all the numbers appearing in pair factors are the factors of 64, we conclude that
## Number of Factors of 64
From above we have calculated the factors of 64 which are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.
Thus the total number of factors of 64 is seven.
## Prime Factors of 64
Note that the factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Among those factors, we observe that only 2 is a prime number as it does not have any proper divisors.
∴ the only prime factor of 64 is 2.
Question: What are the factors of 64?
Video Solution:
## How to Find Factors of 64?
Now we will determine the factors of 64 by division method. In this method, we will try to find the numbers that can divide 64 with no remainder. See that
64/1=64 and the remainder is 0.
1 and 64 are factors of 64.
64/2=32 and the remainder is 0.
2 and 32 are factors of 64.
64/4=16 and the remainder is 0.
4 and 16 are factors of 64.
64/8=8 and the remainder is 0.
8 and 8 are factors of 64. ⇒ 8 is a factor of 64.
Note that no numbers other than the numbers in violet color can divide 64. So the numbers in violet color, that is, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 are the complete list of factors of 64. |
## Prime Factorization
Given an integer greater than 1, if it’s only positive factors are 1 and itself, then it is called a prime number. If it has a positive factor different from 1 or itself, then it is called a composite number. 1 is neither prime nor composite.
Prime factors If a positive integer a has a factor b and b is a prime number, we call b a prime factor of a. For example, 2 and 3 are the prime factors of 12. 4 and 6 are also factors of 12 but they are not prime.
Prime factorization Writing a number as the product of all its prime factors is called forming the prime factorization of the number. For instance, the prime factorization of 12 is 12 = 2 × 2 × 3.
Euclid’s Lemma For any two positive integers a, b and a prime number p, if p | ab, then either p | a or p | b.
Euclid’s Lemma can be used to prove:
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic Every integer > 1 can be factorized into primes in exactly one way.
This means that for every integer n > 1, it can be uniquely expressed as a product of primes
Knowing the prime factorization of a number tells us a lot about the number. For instance, for any divisor d of n, Euclid’s Lemma tells us that every prime factor of d must also be a prime factor of n, and so d must be of the form
Since each bᵢ lies between 0 and aᵢ (inclusive), there are aᵢ + 1 possible choices for b. By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, different choices of bᵢ s correspond to different divisors, and each divisor arises from some choice of bᵢ s. Hence n has (a₁ + 1)(a₂ + 1)…(aₙ + 1) different divisors.
Example: 180 = 2² ∙ 3² ∙ 5¹ should have (2 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 18 different divisors. Indeed, listing them out:
n is a perfect square precisely when all the aᵢ s are even. For example, 180 isn’t a perfect square since the power of 5 in its prime factorization is 1. However, 900 = 2² 3² 5² = (2¹ 3¹ 5¹)² = 30² is a perfect square.
Common divisors and greatest common divisor Let n₁, n₂, …, nₖ (k ≥ 2) be n positive integers. If an integer d divides each one of them, i.e. d | n₁, d | n₂, … , d | nₖ, then we call d a common divisor (or equivalently a common factor) of n₁, n₂, …, nₖ. If d is the largest one among all the common divisors, we call it the greatest common divisor and write gcd(n₁, n₂, …, nₖ) = d, or just (n₁, n₂, …, nₖ) = d to denote this. For instance, (18, 30, 66) = 6, since the common factors of 18, 30 and 66 are 1, 2, 3, 6.
Suppose n, m can be expressed as
(Note that these are not necessarily prime factorizations, the aᵢ s and bᵢ s may be 0.) Then
where min(aᵢ, bᵢ) is the smaller of aᵢ and bᵢ. That’s because min(aᵢ, bᵢ) is the largest power of pᵢ that divides both the term in m and the term in n.
Coprimality Let m, n be integers. If (m, n) = 1, i.e. m and n have no positive divisors in common besides 1, then we say that m and n are coprime.
Common multiples and least common multiple Let n₁, n₂, …, nₖ (k ≥ 2) be n positive integers. If an integer m is a multiple for all of them, i.e. n₁ | m, n₂ | m, …, nₖ | m, then we call m a common multiple of n₁, n₂, …, nₖ. If m is the smallest among all the common multiples, we call m the least common multiple and write lcm(n₁, n₂, …, nₖ) = m, or sometimes [n₁, n₂, …, nₖ] = m to denote this.
Again, if m and n can be expressed as
Then
where max(aᵢ, bᵢ) is the larger of aᵢ and bᵢ. This is because max(aᵢ, bᵢ) is the smallest power of pᵢ that is a multiple of both the term in m and the term in n.
Relationship between greatest common divisor and least common multiple For any two positive integers n, m, we have (n, m) [n, m] = nm. This is because for each prime pᵢ, the pᵢ term on the LHS is and the pᵢ term on the RHS is . The powers on both sides match up: |
Operation I
# Operations with Fractions: Multiplication and Division
## Multiply any fraction by a whole number using models and symbols (e.g., 2 × 4⁄5)
Multiplying a fraction by a whole number is like skip-counting by that fraction. For example, 5 ×
12 can be thought of as counting on: 12, 1, 112, 2, 212 . When students understand that the numerator is the count, they can reason that multiplication by a whole number will increase the count without changing the denominator (fractional unit). Multiplying fractions by whole numbers as a starting point also helps students draw on their prior understanding of multiplication with whole numbers to establish a meaningful foundation for understanding multiplication with fractions.
### Background
Multiplication and division involving fractions is widely recognized to be more complex than multiplication and division with whole numbers. Often algorithms are introduced with little emphasis on understanding the mathematics behind the algorithm. There is some research evidence that suggests that early emphasis on procedures over concepts can actually impede students' fractions understanding in the long term (Brown and Quinn, 2007). However, with precise instruction, students can develop both conceptual and procedural knowledge.
Multiplication with fractions may increase or decrease a quantity, or leave it unchanged. Multiplication with whole numbers is often connected to repeated addition; however, with fractions, other interpretations, such as the Cartesian product or area mode, support increased understanding.
Consider 113×12. Since we are multiplying a quantity by half, we should expect the result to be less than 113. We can carefully labelled array or Cartesian model to solve this.
First, we model 113
Then we partition it into half. Not that we could do this a number of ways (including partitioning each third vertically in half) but the example below connects the use of the array (length and width) to model the multiplication
Determine the answer from the intersecting area. We can see that each whole has been partitioned into sixths. There are four sixths in the overlapping area. 113 × 12 = 46
Ontario fractions research revealed several effective strategies for teaching multiplication of fractions with an emphasis on meaning making. See Fractions Operations; Multiplication and Division Literature Review for more details.
Recommend best practices based on the research include:
1. Take time to focus on conceptual understanding.
Instruction should start with contextual problems which allow students to focus on what they are solving rather than how they are solving, and helps them to develop the meaning of the operations. They also should have hands-on experiences with materials such as relational rods, paper folding and visual models like number lines.
2.
3. Recognize and draw on students' informal and formal knowledge as well as prior experiences with fractions.
Students have prior experience with fractions, including partitioning different models (which is helpful when solving multiplication problems). If they have had opportunities to engage in learning experiences earlier in the Fractions Learning Pathways, they will also have an understanding of the unit fraction, which helps establish an early understanding of multiplication connected to repeated addition (e.g., ). As well, students can draw upon their understanding of the various constructs of fractions (i.e., number, part-whole, part-part, quotient, operator and linear measure) and their work with equivalent fractions.
4.
5. Draw on student familiarity with whole number operations.
Specific connections to multiplication with whole numbers should be made, as the properties hold true for multiplication with fractions as well.
1. The Commutative Property: a × b = b × a
2. The Associative Property: (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
3. The Identity Property: a × 1 = a
4. The Distributive Property a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
5.
As well, students should understand that multiplication is the inverse of division and vice versa. That is to say that if a × b = c, then a = c ÷ b and b = c ÷ a. This is true for a, b, c ≠ 0. For example, although 3 × 0 = 0, 0 ÷ 0 ≠ 3.
Of couse, some generalizations that hold true for whole numbers don't hold true for fractions, and this can be a source of confusion for students. For example, many students hold onto the idea that multiplication "makes a number larger", which is true with whole numbers. However, when we are multiplying by a quantity that is less than 1, as in the case of fractions, we "shrink" the quantity instead.
6. Include carefully selected and multiple representations to convey meaning.
There are a few representations which have longevity and are particularly helpful for building meaning across number systems and contexts - the number line and the area model (or Cartesian or array). Using these representations across fractions learning allows students to understand the structure of the representations and use them effectively to solve questions. Models help students understand the mathematics better - both conceptually and procedurally - and enhance their retention of the learning.

Exercise 1.2 Class 7 maths Chapter 1 Pdf Notes:-
## Ncert Solution for Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Integers Exercise 1.2 Tips:-
Introduction:-
We have learnt that sum of two whole numbers is again a whole number. For example,
17 + 24 = 41 which is again a whole number. We know that, this property is known as the
closure property for addition of the whole numbers.
Commutative Property
We know that 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 = 8, that is, the whole numbers can be added in any order. In
other words, addition is commutative for whole numbers.
Can we say the same for integers also?
We have 5 + (β 6) = β1 and (β 6) + 5 = β1
So, 5 + (β 6) = (β 6) + 5
Are the following equal?
(i) (β 8) + (β 9) and (β 9) + (β 8)
(ii) (β 23) + 32 and 32 + (β 23)
(iii) (β 45) + 0 and 0 + (β 45)
Try this with five other pairs of integers. Do you find any pair of integers for which the
sums are different when the order is changed? Certainly not. We say that addition is
commutative for integers.
In general, for any two integers a and b, we can say
a + b = b + a
ο¬ We know that subtraction is not commutative for whole numbers. Is it commutative
for integers?
Consider the integers 5 and (β3).
Is 5 β (β3) the same as (β3) β5? No, because 5 β ( β3) = 5 + 3 = 8, and (β3) β 5
= β 3 β 5 = β 8.
Take atleast five different pairs of integers and check this.
We conclude that subtraction is not commutative for integers.
1.3.4 Associative Property
Observe the following examples:
Consider the integers β3, β2 and β5.
Look at (β5) + [(β3) + (β2)] and [(β5) + (β3)] + (β2).
In the first sum (β3) and (β2) are grouped together and in the second (β5) and (β3)
are grouped together. We will check whether we get different results.
TRY THESE
In both the cases, we get β10.
i.e., (β5) + [(β3) + (β2)] = [(β5) + (β2)] + (β3)
Similarly consider β3 , 1 and β7.
( β3) + [1 + (β7)] = β3 + _ = _
[(β3) + 1] + (β7) = β2 + _ = _
Is (β3) + [1 + (β7)] same as [(β3) + 1] + (β7)?
Take five more such examples. You will not find any example for which the sums are
different. Addition is associative for integers.
In general for any integers a, b and c, we can say
a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
When we add zero to any whole number, we get the same whole number. Zero is an
additive identity for whole numbers. Is it an additive identity again for integers also?
Observe the following and fill in the blanks:
(i) (β 8) + 0 = β 8 (ii) 0 + (β 8) = β 8
(iii) (β23) + 0 = _ (iv) 0 + (β37) = β37 (v) 0 + (β59) = (vi) 0 + = β 43
(vii) β 61 + = β 61 (viii) + 0 = _
The above examples show that zero is an additive identity for integers.
You can verify it by adding zero to any other five integers.
In general, for any integer a
a + 0 = a = 0 + a
1. Write a pair of integers whose sum gives
(a) a negative integer (b) zero
(c) an integer smaller than both the integers. (d) an integer smaller than only one of the integers.
(e) an integer greater than both the integers.
2. Write a pair of integers whose difference gives
(a) a negative integer. (b) zero.
(c) an integer smaller than both the integers. (d) an integer greater than only one of the integers.
(e) an integer greater than both the integers

Angle measures in triangles worksheet - Problems
Problem 1 :
The measure of one acute angle of a right triangle is two times the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each acute angle.
Problem 2 :
Find the missing angles in the triangle shown below.
Problem 3 :

Angle measures in triangles worksheet - Problems
Problem 1 :
The measure of one acute angle of a right triangle is two times the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each acute angle.
Solution :
Let A, B and C be the vertices of the triangle and right angle is at C.
Let ∠A = x°, then ∠B = 2x°. The diagram shown below illustrates this.
By Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
So, we have
x° + 2x° = 90°
Simplify.
3x° = 90°
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 30
So, m∠A = 30° and m∠B = 2(30°) = 60°
Hence, the two acute angles are 30° and 60°.
Problem 2 :
Find the missing angles in the triangle shown below.
Solution :
In the triangle shown above, two sides are congruent. Angles opposite to congruent sides are always congruent.
So, if one missing angle is assumed to be x°, then the other missing angle also must be x°. Because the two angles are congruent.
The diagram shown below illustrates this.
By Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
So, we have
x° + x° + 40° = 180°
Simplify.
2x + 40 = 180
Subtract 40 from both sides.
2x = 140
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 70
Hence, the measure of each missing angle is 70°.
Problem 3 :
Find the value of x in the diagram shown below.
Solution :
By Exterior Angle Theorem, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles.
So, we have
x° + 65° = (2x + 10)°
or
x + 65 = 2x + 10
Subtract x from both sides.
65 = x + 10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
55 = x
Hence, the value of x is 55.
Problem 4 :
Find the missing angles in the triangle shown below.
Solution :
In the triangle shown above, two sides are congruent. Angles opposite to congruent sides are always congruent.
So, if one missing angle is assumed to be x°, then the other missing angle also must be x°. Because the two angles are congruent.
The diagram shown below illustrates this.
In the triangle shown above, one of the angles is right angle. So, it is right triangle.
By Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
So, we have
x° + x° = 90°
Simplify.
2x = 90
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 45
Hence, the measure of each missing angle is 45°.

# An Inequality with Constraint in Four Variables V
### Solution 1
By Hölder's inequality,
\displaystyle \begin{align} &(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)\ge (1+abc)^3\\ &\sqrt[3]{(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)}\geq 1+abc\\ &\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)}}\leq \frac{1}{1+abc} \end{align}
It follows that
\displaystyle \begin{align} \sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{\sqrt[3]{(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)}}&\leq \sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{1+abc}\\ &=\sum_{cycl}\frac{1+abc-1}{1+abc}\\ &=4-\sum_{cycl}\frac{1}{1+abc} \end{align}
$\displaystyle \sum_{cycl}\frac{1}{1+abc} \ge \frac{\displaystyle (1+1+1+1)^2}{\displaystyle 4+\sum_{cycl}abc}=\frac{16}{5}.$
Thus, $\displaystyle -\sum_{cycl}\frac{1}{1+abc}\leq -\frac{16}{5}.\,$ Further,
\displaystyle \begin{align} &4-\sum_{cycl}\frac{1}{1+abc}\leq 4-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\\ &\sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{\sqrt[3]{(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)}}\leq \frac{4}{5}\\ &5\sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{\sqrt[3]{(1+a^3)(1+b^3)(1+c^3)}}\leq 4. \end{align}
### Solution 2
By Hölder's inequality, $\displaystyle \sqrt[3]{\prod_{cycl}(1+a^3)}\ge 1+abc,\,$ implying
$\displaystyle 5\sum_{cycl}\frac{\displaystyle abc}{\displaystyle \sqrt[3]{\prod_{cycl}(1+a^3)}}\le5\sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{1+abc}.$
By Jensen's inequality applied to the concave function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x},\,$
$\displaystyle 5\sum_{cycl}\frac{abc}{1+abc}\le 20\frac{frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}=4.$

# Tall and Short Objects for Class 1 Math
The discussion below will help students build the concept of tall and short objects and inform them about misconceptions. Also, the students will be able to differentiate between tall and short.
From this learning concept, they will learn to identify the
• Taller and shorter, among two or more objects
• Tallest and shortest among two or more objects
Each concept is explained to class 1 Maths students with examples, illustrations, and a concept map given to summarize the idea. At the end of the page, two printable worksheets with solutions are attached for students to practice.
## Tall and Short
To describe the objects based on their heights, we use the words tall and short.
### Example:
In the given picture, the height of the giraffe is more, and the height of the deer is less. So, the giraffe is tall and the deer is short.
• We do not use the word ‘Tall or Short’ to compare two or more heights.
• To compare two or more heights, we use the words, taller, shorter, tallest, and shortest.
## Taller and Shorter
To compare heights of two objects, use the word ‘Taller/Shorter’.
### Example:
In the given picture, the grey building is taller than the blue building .
The blue building is shorter than the grey building.
## Tallest-Shortest
To compare heights of three or more objects, we use the word ‘Tallest/Shortest’.
### Example:
In the given picture, the grey ladder is the tallest among all the ladders. The black ladder is the shortest among all the ladders.
## Misconception:
In the given picture, the puppy looks the tallest. But the lion is the tallest among all.
• When comparing the heights of objects, they should be at the same level.

# How do you solve the system of linear equations 2x − 3y = 3 and 5x − 4y = 4?
Jul 8, 2017
There are two methods. 1. solve for one variable and then substitute.
2. Add or subtract the equations so that one variable is eliminated then substitute.
#### Explanation:
$2 x - 3 y = 3$ add 3y to both sides
$2 x - 3 y + 3 y = - 3 y + 3$ gives
$2 x = + 3 y + 3$ divide both sides by 2
$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{+ 3 y}{2} + \frac{3}{2}$ which gives.
$x = + \frac{3}{2} y + \frac{3}{2}$ Now substitute into the other equation
$5 x - 4 y = 4 = 5 \left(+ \frac{3}{2} y + \frac{3}{2}\right) - 4 y = 4$ which gives
$\left(+ \frac{15}{2}\right) y + \frac{15}{2} - 4 y = 4$ multiply everything by 2
$2 \left(+ \frac{15}{2}\right) y + 2 \left(\frac{15}{2}\right) - 4 y = 4$
$+ 15 y - 4 y + 15 = 4$ subtract 15 from both sides
$11 y + 15 - 15 = 4 - 15$
$11 y = - 11$ divide both sides by 11
(11y/11 = -11/11 gives
$y = - 1$
$2 x - 3 \left(- 1\right) = 3$
$2 x + 3 = 3$ subtract 3 from both sides
$2 x + 3 - 3 = 3 - 3$ so
$2 x = 0$ divide both sides by two
$2 \frac{x}{2} = \frac{0}{2}$
$x = 0$ |

Hint: Let’s find out limits at all the critical points and then we’ll compare to find out the desired values.
${\text{We have been given f}}(x){\text{ }} \\ f\left( x \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \dfrac{{{{\text{x}}^2}}}{a}{\text{ ,}}if{\text{ }}0 \leqslant x < 1 \\ a{\text{ ,}}if{\text{ }}1 \leqslant x < \sqrt 2 \\ \dfrac{{2{b^2} - 4b}}{{{{\text{x}}^2}}}{\text{ ,}}if{\text{ }}\sqrt 2 \leqslant x < \infty \\ \end{gathered} \right\} \\$
So,
At x = 1, we can say that $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to 1} f\left( x \right) = f\left( 1 \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to 1} f\left( x \right)$
Taking left hand limit,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to 1} f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to 1} \dfrac{{{{\text{x}}^2}}}{a}$
$\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to 1} f\left( x \right) = \dfrac{1}{a}$
Taking right hand limit,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to 1} f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to 1} a$
$\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to 1} f\left( x \right) = a$
And $f\left( 1 \right) = a$
Comparing them you get,
$\Rightarrow a = \dfrac{1}{a}$
$\Rightarrow {a^2} = 1$
$\Rightarrow a = \pm 1$
Now at x = \sqrt 2 we can say that $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to \sqrt 2 } f\left( x \right) = f\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to \sqrt 2 } f\left( x \right)$
Taking left hand limit,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to \sqrt 2 } f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to \sqrt 2 } a$
$\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ - } \to \sqrt 2 } f\left( x \right) = a$
Taking right hand limit,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to \sqrt 2 } f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{x^ + } \to \sqrt 2 } \dfrac{{2{b^2} - 4b}}{{{{\text{x}}^2}}}$
Now at
$f\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right) = {b^2} - 2b$
Comparing them you get,
For a = 1
${b^2} - 2b = 1$
$\Rightarrow {b^2} - 2b - 1 = 0$
Using $x = \dfrac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {{b^2} - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$
$\Rightarrow b = \dfrac{{2 \pm \sqrt 8 }}{2} = 1 \pm \sqrt 2$
For a = - 1
${b^2} - 2b = - 1$
$\Rightarrow {b^2} - 2b + 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow$ b = 1,1
So, we have $a = \pm 1,b = 1 \pm \sqrt 2 ,1$
NOTE: Be careful while calculating the value of b. Since we are using a quadratic formula, there will be 3 values for different values of a. |

## 30 Given $\sinh (x)=\frac{3}{4}$, then $\cosh (x)=$ Select one: a. $\pm \frac{5}{4}$ b. $\frac{5}{4}$ c. $\pm \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$ d. $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$
#### STEP 1
Assumptions 1. We are given that $\sinh(x) = \frac{3}{4}$. 2. We need to find $\cosh(x)$. 3. We will use the hyperbolic identity: $\cosh^2(x) - \sinh^2(x) = 1$.
#### STEP 2
Start by writing the given information and the hyperbolic identity. $\sinh(x) = \frac{3}{4}$ $\cosh^2(x) - \sinh^2(x) = 1$
#### STEP 3
Substitute the given value of $\sinh(x)$ into the identity. $\cosh^2(x) - \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = 1$
#### STEP 4
Calculate $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2$. $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16}$
#### STEP 5
Substitute $\frac{9}{16}$ back into the equation. $\cosh^2(x) - \frac{9}{16} = 1$
#### STEP 6
Isolate $\cosh^2(x)$ by adding $\frac{9}{16}$ to both sides of the equation. $\cosh^2(x) = 1 + \frac{9}{16}$
#### STEP 7
Convert 1 to a fraction with a common denominator of 16. $1 = \frac{16}{16}$
#### STEP 8
Add the fractions on the right-hand side. $\cosh^2(x) = \frac{16}{16} + \frac{9}{16} = \frac{25}{16}$
#### STEP 9
Take the square root of both sides to solve for $\cosh(x)$. $\cosh(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}}$
#### STEP 10
Simplify the square root. $\cosh(x) = \pm \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}} = \pm \frac{5}{4}$
##### SOLUTION
Since $\cosh(x)$ is always positive for real $x$, we take the positive value. $\cosh(x) = \frac{5}{4}$ Therefore, the correct answer is: $\cosh(x) = \frac{5}{4}$ |
What’s the Geometrical interpretation of integrals? And what’s the physical significance of C?

Geometrical interpretation of indefinite integral
Let f (x) = 2x. Then ∫ f (x) dx = x2 + C. For different values of C, we get different integrals. But these integrals are very similar geometrically.
Thus, y = x2 + C, where C is arbitrary constant, represents a family of integrals. By assigning different values to C, we get different members of the family. These together constitute the indefinite integral. In this case, each integral represents a parabola with its axis along y-axis.
Clearly, for C = 0, we obtain y = x2, a parabola with its vertex on the origin. The curve y = x2 + 1 for C = 1 is obtained by shifting the parabola y = x2 one unit along y-axis in positive direction. For C = – 1, y = x2– 1 is obtained by shifting the parabola y = x2 one unit along y-axis in the negative direction. Thus, for each positive value of C, each parabola of the family has its vertex on the positive side of the y-axis and for negative values of C, each has its vertex along the negative side of the y-axis.

##### Presentation Transcript
1. Probability Essentials • Concept of probability is quite intuitive; however, the rules of probability are not always intuitive or easy to master. • Mathematically, a probability is a number between 0 and 1 that measures the likelihood that some event will occur. • An event with probability zero cannot occur. • An event with probability 1 is certain to occur. • An event with probability greater than 0 and less than 1 involves uncertainty, but the closer its probability is to 1 the more likely it is to occur.
2. Rule of Complement • The simplest probability rule involves the complement of an event. • If A is any event, then the complement of A, denoted by Ac, is the event that A does not occur. • If the probability of A is P(A), then the probability of its complement, P(Ac), is P(Ac)=1- P(A). • Equivalently, the probability of an event and the probability of its complement sum to 1.
3. Addition Rule • We say that events are mutually exclusive if at most one of them can occur. That is, if one of them occurs, then none of the others can occur. • Events can also be exhaustive, which means that they exhaust all possibilities - one of these three events must occur. • Let A1 through An be any n events. Then the addition rule of probability involves the probability that at least one of these events will occur. P(at least one of A1 through An) = P(A1) + P(A2) + + P(An)
4. Conditional Probability • Probabilities are always assessed relative to the information currently available. As new information becomes available, probabilities often change. • A formal way to revise probabilities on the basis of new information is to use conditional probabilities. • Let A and B be any events with probabilities P(A) and P(B). Typically the probability P(A) is assessed without knowledge of whether B does or does not occur. However if we are told B has occurred, the probability of A might change.
5. Conditional Probability -- continued • The new probability of A is called the conditional probability of A given B. It is denoted P(A|B). • Note that there is uncertainty involving the event to the left of the vertical bar in this notation; we do not know whether it will occur or not. However, there is no uncertainty involving the event to the right of the vertical bar; we know that it has occurred. • The following formula conditional probability formula enables us to calculate P(A|B):
6. Multiplication Rule • In the conditional probability rule the numerator is the probability that both A and B occur. It must be known in order to determine P(A|B). • However, in some applications P(A|B) and P(B) are known; in these cases we can multiply both side of the conditional probability formula by P(B) to obtain the multiplication rule. P(A and B) = P(A|B)P(B) • The conditional probability formula and the multiplication rule are both valid; in fact, they are equivalent.
7. Assessing the Bendrix Situation • Now that we are familiar with the a number of probability rules we can put them to work in assessing the Bendrix situation. • To begin we will let A be the event that Bendrix meets its end-of-July deadline, and let B be the event that Bendrix receives the materials form its supplier by the middle of July. • The probabilities that we are best able to be assess on July 1 are probably P(B) and P(A|B).
8. Assessing -- continued • They estimate a 2 in 3 chance of getting the materials on time; thus P(B)=2/3. • They also estimate that if they receive the materials on time then the chances of meeting the deadline are 3 out of 4. This is a conditional probability statement that P(A|B)=3/4. • We can use the multiplication rule to obtain: P(A and B) = P(A|B)P(B) = (3/4)(2/3) = 0.5 • There is a 50-50 chance that Bendrix will gets its materials on time and meet its deadline.
9. Assessing -- continued • Other probabilities of interest exist in this example. • Let Bc be the complement of B; it is the event that the materials from the supplier do not arrive on time. We know that P(B) = 1 - P(Bc) = 1/3 from the rule of complements. • Bendrix estimates that the chances of meeting the deadline are 1 out of 5 if the materials do not arrive on time, that is, P(A| Bc) = 1/5. The multiplication rule gives P(A and Bc) = P(A| Bc)P(Bc) = (1/5)(1/3) = 0.0667
10. Assessing -- continued • In words, there is a 1 chance out of 15 that the materials will not arrive on time and Bendrix will meets its deadline. • The bottom line for Bendrix is whether it will meet its end-of-July deadline. After the middle of July the probability is either 3/4 or 1/5 because by this time they will know whether the materials have arrived on time. • But since it is July 1 the probability is P(A) - there is still uncertainty about whether B or Bc will occur.
11. Assessing -- continued • We can calculate P(A) from the probabilities we already know. Using the additive rule for mutually exclusive events we obtain P(A) =P(A and B) + P(A and Bc) = (1/2)+(1/15) = 0.5667 • In words, the chances are 17 out of 30 that Bendrix will meet its end-of-July deadline, given the information it has at the beginning of July.
12. Probabilistic Independence • A concept that is closely tied to conditional probability is probabilistic independence. • There are situations unlike Bendix when P(A), P(A|B) and P(A| Bc) are not all different. They are situations where these probabilities are all equal. In this case we can say that events A and B are independent. • This does not mean they are mutually exclusive; it means that knowledge of one of the events is of no value when assessing the probability of the other event.
13. Probabilistic Independence -- continued • The main advantage of knowing that two events are independent is that the multiplication rule simplifies to P(A and B) = P(A)P(B) • In order to determine if events are probabilistically independent we usually cannot use mathematical arguments; we must use empirical data to decide whether independence is reasonable.
14. Distribution of a Single Random Variable
15. Background Information • An investor is concerned with the market return for the coming year, where the market return is defined as the percentage gain (or loss, if negative) over the year. • The investor believes there are five possible scenarios for the national economy in the coming year: rapid expansion, moderate expansion, no growth, moderate contraction, or serious contraction. • She estimates that the market returns for these scenarios are, respectively, 0.23, 0.18, 0.15, 0.09, and 0.03.
16. Background Information -- continued • Also, she has assessed that the probabilities of these outcomes are 0.12, 0.40, 0.25, 0.15, and 0.08. • We must use this information to describe the probability distribution of the market return.
17. Type of Random Variables • A discrete random variable has only a finite number of possible values. • A continuous random variable has a continuum of possible values. • Mathematically, there is an important difference between discrete and continuos random variables. A proper treatment of continuos variables requires calculus. In this book we will only be dealing with discrete random variables.
18. Discrete Random Variables • The properties of discrete random variables and their associated probability distributions are as follows: • Let X be a random variable and to specify the probability distribution of X we need to specify its possible values and their probabilities. This list of their probabilities sum to 1. • It is sometimes useful to calculate cumulative probabilities. A cumulative probability is the probability that the random variable is less than or equal to some particular values.
19. Summarizing a Probability Distribution • A probability distribution can be summarized with two or three well-chosen numbers: • The mean, often called the expected value, is a weighted sum of the possibilities. It indicates the center of the probability distribution. • To measure the variability in a distribution, we calculate its variance or standard deviation. The variance is a weighted sum of the squared deviations of the possible values from the mean. As in the previous chapter the variance is represented in the squared units of X so a more natural measure of variability is the standard deviation.
20. MRETURN.XLS • This file contains the values and probabilities estimated by the investor in this example. • Mean, Probs, Returns, Var and Sqdevs have been specified as range names.
21. Calculating Summary Measures • The summary measures for the probability distribution of the outcomes can be calculated as follows: • Mean return: =SUMPRODUCT(Returns,Probs) • Squared Deviations: =(C4-Mean)^2 • Variance: =SUMPRODUCT(SqDevs,Probs) • Standard Deviation: =SQRT(Var) • We see that the mean return is 15.3% and the standard deviation is 5.3%. What do these mean?
22. Analyzing the Summary Measures • First, the mean or expected return does not imply that the most likely return is 15.3%, nor is this the value that the investor “expects” to occur. The value 15.3% is not even a possible market return. • We can understand these measures better in terms of long-run averages. • If we can see the coming year repeated many times, using the same probability distribution, then the average of these times would be close to 15.3% and their standard deviation would be 5.3%.
23. Derived Probability Distributions
24. Background Information • A bookstore is planning on ordering a shipment of special edition Christmas calendars that they will sell for \$15 a piece. • There will be only one order, so • if demand is less than the quantity ordered the excess calendars will be donated to a paper recycling company • if demand is greater than the quantity ordered, the excess demand will be lost and customers will take their business elsewhere • The bookstore estimates that the demand for calendars will be between 250 and 400.
25. DERIVED.XLS • This file contains the probability distribution that the demand for calendars will follow. These estimates have been derived from subjective estimates and historical data. • If the bookstore decides to order 350 calendars, what is the probability distribution of units sold? What is the probability distribution of revenue?
26. Derived Distributions of Units Sold and Revenue
27. Solution • Let D, S,and R denote demand, units sold, and revenue. • The key to the solution is that each value of D directly determines the value of S, which in turn determines the value of R. • S is the smaller of D and the number ordered, 350, and R is \$15 multiplied by the value of S. • Therefore we can derive the probability distributions of S and R with the following steps:
28. Solution -- continued • Calculate Units sold : =MIN(B10,OnHand) • Calculate Revenue for each value of units sold: =UnitPrice*B20 • Transfer the Derived Probabilities for demand: =C10 • Calculate Means of demand, units sold, and revenue: =SUMPRODUCT(Revenues, DerivedProbs) • Calculate the Variances and Standard Deviations of demand, units sold and revenue. • First, calculate the squared deviations of revenues from their mean in Column F, then calculate the sum of the products of these squared deviations and the revenue probabilities to obtain the variance of revenue. Finally, calculate the standard deviation as the square root of the variance.
29. Summary Measures for Linear Functions • When one random variable is a linear function of another random variable X, there is a particularly simple way to calculate the summary measures of Y from the Summary measures of X. Y = a + bX for some constant a and b then: • mean: E(Y) = a + bE(X) • variance: Var(Y) = b2 Var(X) • standard deviation: bStdev(X) • If Y is a constant multiple of X, that is a=0 then the mean and standard deviation of Y are this same multiple of the mean and standard deviation of X.
30. Distribution of Two Random Variables: Scenario Approach
31. Background Information • An investor plans to invest in General Motors (GM) stock and gold. • He assumes that the returns on these investments over the next year depend on the general state of the economy during the year. • He identifies four possible states of the economy: depression, recession, normal and boom. These four states have the following probabilities: 0.05, 0.30, 0.50, and 0.15.
32. Background Information -- continued • The investor wants to analyze the joint distribution of returns on these two investments. • He also wants to analyze the distribution of a portfolio of investments in GM stock and gold.
33. GMGOLD.XLS • This file contains the probabilities and estimated returns of the GM stock and the gold.
34. Relating Two Random Variables • There are two methods for relating two random variables, the scenario approach and the joint probability approach. • The methods differ slightly in the way they assign probabilities to different outcomes. • Two summary measures, covariance and correlation, are used to measure the relationship between two variables in both methods.
35. The Summary Measures • We have discussed summary measures with the same names, covariance and correlation, earlier. The summary measures we are looking at now go by the same name but are conceptually different. • In the past we have calculated them from data; here they are calculated from a probability distribution. • The random variables are X and Y and the probability that X and Y equal xi and yi is p(xi, yi) is called a joint probability.
36. Summary Measures -- continued • Although they are calculated differently , the interpretation is essentially the same as we previously discussed. • Each indicates the strength of a linear relationship between X and Y. If X and Y vary in the same direction then both measures are positive. If they vary in opposite directions then both measures are negative. • Covariance is more difficult to interpret because it depends on the units of measurement of X and Y. Correlation is always between -1 and +1.
37. The Scenario Approach • The essence of the scenario approach in this example is that a given state of the economy determines both GM and gold returns, so that only four pairs of returns are possible. • These pairs are -0.20 and 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20, 0.30 and -0.12, and 0.50 and 0.09. Each pair has a joint probability. • To calculate means, variances and standard deviations, we treat GM and gold returns separately.
38. Calculating Covariance and Correlation • We also need to calculate the covariance and correlation between the variables. To obtain these we use the following steps: • Deviations between means: To calculate the covariance we need the sum of deviations from means, so we need to calculate these deviations with the formula =C4-GMMean in B14 and copy it down through B17. We also calculate this for gold. • Covariance: Calculate the covariance between GM and gold returns in cell B23 with the formula=SUMPRODUCT(GMDevs,GoldDevs,Probs)
39. Calculating Covariance and Correlation -- continued • Correlation: Calculate the correlation between GM and gold returns in cell B24 with the formula =Covar/(GMStdv*GoldStedev) • The negative covariance indicates that GM and gold returns tend to vary in opposite directions, although it is difficult to judge the strength by the magnitude of the covariance. • The correlation of -0.410 is also negative and indicates a moderately strong relationship. We cannot infer too much from this correlation though because the variables are not linear.
40. Simulation • A simulation of GM and gold returns help explain the covariance and correlation. • There are two keys to this simulation: • First we must, simulate the states of the economy, not - at least not directly - the GM and gold returns. • We simulate this be entering a RAND function in A1 and then by entering the formulas VLOOKUP(A21,LTable,2) in B21 and VLOOKUP(A21,LTable,3) in C21. • This way uses the same random number, hence the same scenario, to generate both returns in a given row, and the effect is that only four pairs of returns are possible.
41. Simulation -- continued • Second, once we have the simulated returns we can calculate the covariance and correlation of these numbers. • We calculate these in cells B8 and B9 with the formulas COVAR(SimGM,SimGOLD) and CORREL(SimGM,SimGold). These are built-in Excel functions. • A comparison of these summary measures with the previously calculated summary measures shows that there is reasonably good agreement between the covariance and correlation of the probability distribution and the measures based on the simulated values. The agreement is not perfect but will improve as more pairs are simulated.
42. Simulation of GM and Gold Returns
43. Portfolio Analysis • The final part of this example is to analyze a portfolio consisting of GM stock and gold. • We assume that the investor has \$10,000 and puts some fraction of this in GM stock and the rest in gold. • The key to the analysis is that there are only four possible scenarios -- that is, there are only four possible portfolio returns. • In this case we calculate the entire portfolio return distribution and summary measures in the usual way.
44. Portfolio Analysis -- continued • One thing of interest is to see how the expected portfolio return and standard deviation of portfolio return change as the amount the investor puts into GM stock changes. • To do this we use a data table or mean and stdev of portfolio return as a function of GM investment. • A graph of these measures show that the expected portfolio return steadily increases as more and more is put into GM.
45. Portfolio Analysis -- continued • However, we must note that the standard deviation, often used as a measure of risk, first decreases, then increases. • This means there is trade-off between expected return and risk (as measured by the standard deviation). • The investor could obtain a higher expected return by putting more of his money into GM; but past a fraction of approximately 0.4, the risk also increases.
46. Distribution of Portfolio Return
47. SUBS.XLS • A company sells two products, product 1 and 2, that tend to be substitutes for each one another.The company has assessed the joint probability distribution of demand for the two products during the coming months. • This joint distribution appears in the Demand sheet of this file. • The left and top margins of the table show the possible values of demand for the products.
48. SUBS.XLS -- continued • Demand for product 1 (D1) can range from 100 to 400 (in increments of 100) and demand for product 2(D2) can range from 50-250 (in increments of 50). • Each possible value of D1 can occur for each possible value of D2 with the joint probability given in the table. • Given this joint probability distribution, describe more fully the probabilistic structure of demands for the two products.
49. Joint Probability Approach • In this example we use an alternative method for specifying probability distribution. • A joint probability distribution, specified by all probabilities of the form p(x, y), indicates that X and Y are related and also how each of X and Y is distributed in its own right. • The joint probability of X and Y determines the marginal distributions of both X and Y, where each marginal distribution is the probability distribution of a single random variable. |
# Composite Functions
## Understanding Composite Functions: Simplifying Operations with Multiple Functions
A composite function is the combination of two or more functions. This method is commonly used to transform numbers from one set to another. For example, if we have a function that maps numbers from set A to set B and another function that maps numbers from set B to set C, we can use a composite function to directly map numbers from set A to set C. The diagram below illustrates this concept:
• Composite functions allow for mapping between sets
It's important to remember these key properties of composite functions:
• In a composite function, the inside function is always performed first, and its output becomes the input for the outside function
• The domain of a composite function is determined by the domain of the first function applied
• When combining two functions, a single input is used, and the output of both functions is obtained
• To find the value of a composite function, we input a value into the original function and then use the resulting output as the input for all other functions
Let's go through an example to see how this process works:
Imagine we have the functions f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x^2, and we want to find the value of f(g(3)). First, we calculate g(3) = 9. Next, we use this value as the input for f(x), giving us f(9) = 19. Therefore, f(g(3)) = 19.
Composite functions can become more complex when dealing with quadratic, trigonometric, and reciprocal functions. However, the process remains the same as with simpler linear examples. Let's look at a few more worked examples:
• To find the value of f(g(x)), where f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = sin(x), we first calculate g(x) = 1/sin(x). Then, we use this as the input for f(x), resulting in f(1/sin(x)).
• Consider the functions f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x^2. To find the value of f(g(4)), we start by calculating g(4) = 16. Next, we use this value as the input for f(x), resulting in f(16) = 33. Therefore, f(g(4)) = 33.
Key Takeaways:
• Composite functions are created by combining two or more functions
• The inside function is always performed first in a composite function
• The domain of a composite function is determined by the first function applied
• To find the value, we input a value into the original function and then use the resulting output as the input for all other functions |

Each function is a assignment, the inverse of which, if it exists at all, is the reverse assignment.
Calculating the inverse goes like this:
Let
First, write the function in the form of y=thingy:
Here, we assign y to x.
The inverse is the reverse assignment, where we assign x to y. So, the purpose is always to rearrange y=thingy to x=something.
Finally, we swap x and y (some people don’t do this), and then we get the inverse.
The inverse is denoted by:
But, there is a little trouble. Not all functions have an inverse, as not all assignments can be reversed.
For example, in the case of , we have and , and thus, we cannot reverse this: .
The crux of the problem is that this function assigns the same number to two different numbers (2 and -2), and therefore, the assignment cannot be reversed.
But if we exclude the negative numbers,
then everything will be all right.
So, only those functions have an inverse where for two different x values
there are two different y-s assigned.
We say they have a one-to-one correspondence, shortly, they are injective.
A function is injective, if then .
All strictly monotonic functions are injective and thus, invertible.
And there is one more thing here.
Let the function be and its domain .
Well, then the image is .
The inverse function is the reverse assignment, so in this case, these are swapped.
If is invertible, then its Domain is identical to the Range of its inverse, and its Range is identical to the Domain of the inverse.
Let's see a few examples!
Let’s find the inverse of function , if
There is no inverse, because the function is not injective.
For example, it assigns the same number to 4 and -4, namely 0.
This case is entirely different, as x could only be positive here. There are no two positive numbers with the same square, so this function is injective.
Let’s see the inverse:
In this case, there is an inverse, too, because the function is injective.
Let’s see the inverse!
In this case the function has no inverse, because it is - again- not injective. For example, it assigns the same number to 4 and -4, namely 0.
Unfortunately there is no inverse in this case either, as the function is not injective.
Let’s see one more.
Here is this function, and we want to find its inverse.
and
Finally let’s see this one, too:
Let’s talk a bit about the geometric meaning of the inverse.
Here is a function
and let’s see what happens to the graph of this function when we invert it.
Well, this.
Let’s reflect the graph of the function about the y=x line.
It is clearly visible on the drawing that the inverse of radical functions is never a full parabola, only a half.
And the reverse is true as well: a full parabola can never be inverted, only its half.
Here comes another splendid function:
Well, the inverse of this function is:
The inverse of the exponential functions are the logarithmic functions.
And this is mutual: the inverse of the logarithmic functions are the exponential functions.
Let’s see the inverse of this, for instance:
We can lure the x out of the exponent by taking the logarithm of both sides.
Here is another one, for example:
Functions and are also inverses of each other.
We should be careful with this function inversion thing, as it could be harmful in large doses.
But maybe we can get away with one more...

# Precalculus : Graph a Linear Function
## Example Questions
### Example Question #1 : Graph A Linear Function
Which of the following could be the function modeled by this graph?
Explanation:
Which of the following could be the function modeled by this graph?
We can begin here by trying to identify a couple points on the graph
We can see that it crosses the y-axis at
Therefore, not only do we have a point, we have the y-intercept. This tells us that the equation of the line needs to have a in it somewhere. Eliminate any option that do not have this feature.
Next, find the slope by counting up and over from the y-intercept to the next clear point.
It seems like the line goes up 5 and right 1 to the point
This means we have a slope of 5, which means our equation must look like this:

### Testing for Equality of Two Proportions
Suppose we have two populations and we are interested in estimating whether the proportions of subjects that have certain characteristic of interest (e.g., fixed gender) in each population are equal. To make this inference we obtain two samples {$X_1, X_2, X_3, \cdots, X_n$} and {$Y_1, Y_2, Y_3, \cdots, Y_k$}, where each Xi and Yi represents whether the ith observation in the sample had the characteristic of interest. That is
$X_i = \begin{cases}0,& \texttt{Characteristic-absent},\\ 1,& \texttt{Characteristic-present}.\end{cases}$ and $Y_i = \begin{cases}0,& \texttt{Characteristic-absent},\\ 1,& \texttt{Characteristic-present}.\end{cases}$
Since the raw sample proportions of observations having the characteristic of interest are
$\hat{p_x}={1 \over n}\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}$ and $\hat{p_y}={1 \over k}\sum_{i=1}^k{y_i}$
The corrected sample proportions (for small samples) are
$\tilde{p_x}={\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}+0.5z_{\alpha \over 2}^2 \over n+z_{\alpha \over 2}^2},$ and $\tilde{p_y}={\sum_{i=1}^k{y_i}+0.5z_{\alpha \over 2}^2 \over k+z_{\alpha \over 2}^2},$
By the independence of the samples, the standard error of the difference of the two proportion estimates is:
Raw proportions: $SE_{\hat{p_x}-\hat{p_y}} = \sqrt{SE_{\hat{p_x}}^2 + SE_{\hat{p_y}}^2}= \sqrt{ {\hat{p_x}(1-\hat{p_x})\over n} + {\hat{p_y}(1-\hat{p_y})\over k}}.$
Corrected Proportions: $SE_{\tilde{p_x}-\tilde{p_y}} = \sqrt{SE_{\tilde{p_x}}^2 + SE_{\tilde{p_y}}^2}= \sqrt{ {\tilde{p_x}(1-\tilde{p_x})\over n+z_{\alpha \over 2}^2} + {\tilde{p_y}(1-\tilde{p_y})\over k+z_{\alpha \over 2}^2}}.$
### Hypothesis Testing the Difference of Two Proportions
• Null Hypothesis: Ho:px = py, where px and px are the sample population proportions of interest.
• Alternative Research Hypotheses:
• One sided (uni-directional): H1:px > py, or Ho:px < py
• Double sided: $H_1: p_x \not= p_y$
• Test Statistics: $Z_o={\tilde{p_x} - \tilde{p_y} \over SE_{\tilde{p_x}-\tilde{p_y}}}$
### Genders of Siblings Example
Is the gender of a second child influenced by the gender of the first child, in families with >1 child? Research hypothesis needs to be formulated first before collecting/looking/interpreting the data that will be used to address it. Mothers whose 1st child is a girl are more likely to have a girl, as a second child, compared to mothers with boys as 1st child. Data: 20 yrs of birth records of 1 Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.
Second Child Male Female Total First Child Male 3,202 2,776 5,978 Female 2,620 2,792 5,412 Total 5,822 5,568 11,390
Let p1=true proportion of girls in mothers with girl as first child, p2=true proportion of girls in mothers with boy as first child. The parameter of interest is p1p2.
• Hypotheses: Ho:p1p2 = 0 (skeptical reaction). H1:p1p2 > 0 (research hypothesis).
Second Child Number of births Number of girls Proportion Group 1 (Previous child was girl) n1 = 5412 2792 $\hat{p}_1=0.516$ 2 (Previous child was boy) n2 = 5978 2776 $\hat{p}_2=0.464$
• Test Statistics: $Z_o = {Estimate-HypothesizedValue\over SE(Estimate)} = {\hat{p}_1 - \hat{p}_2 - 0 \over SE(\hat{p}_1 - \hat{p}_2)} = {\hat{p}_1 - \hat{p}_2 - 0 \over \sqrt{{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)\over n_1} + {\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)\over n_2}}} \sim N(0,1)$ and Zo = 5.4996.
• $P_value = P(Z>Z_o)< 1.9\times 10^{-8}$. This small p-values provides extremely strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis that there are no differences between the proportions of mothers that had a girl as a second child but had either boy or girl as their first child. Hence there is strong statistical evidence implying that genders of siblings are not independent.
• Practical significance: The practical significance of the effect (of the gender of the first child on the gender of the second child, in this case) can only be assessed using confidence intervals. A 95% CI(p1p2) = [0.033;0.070] is computed by $p_1-p_2 \pm 1.96 SE(p_1 - p_2)$. Clearly, this is a practically negligible effect and no reasonable person would make important prospective family decisions based on the gender of their (first) child. |

Question:
Maria went to her favorite bakery today to buy churros. The sign says "2 churros for \$3". If Maria bought 15 churros, how much money did she spend?
Inactive
Natasha H.
For this problem, the easiest way to solve it is to use proportions. When solving problems like this, it is very important to remember when you set the proportion up, the units MUST match. For example, if you put the cost over the number of churros, then you must continue to do so for the next fraction. If the units do not match, then your answer will be incorrect, unless you get lucky. So lets begin to set this up. 2/\$3 = 15/\$x. We are trying to find the cost, so we will call that \$x. When doing proportions, you will cross multiply. So you will multiply 2(x) giving you 2x and 15(\$3) giving you 45. Now you have 2x=45. You want to isolate the variable to get your answer and to do that, you will divide 2 on both sides. When you divide 45 by 2, your answer is \$22.5. Normally for word problems, it's a good habit to write out a full sentence. Don't forget about that! Some teachers are very picky.

Question:
2/3 + 1/12 = ?
Inactive
Natasha H.
When adding and subtracting fractions, the first thing you want to look at is the denominator. In order to add and subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same number. In this example, the denominators are not the same numbers, so you will need to do some multiplying to convert 2/3 to get 12 on the bottom. So you know that 3x4 will give you 12, so you will multiple 2/3 top and bottom by 4. After multiplying you will get 8/12 + 1/12, which will give you 9/12. If the question asks to simplify, then don't forget to simplify. However, if the question does not specify further, then leaving the answer at 9/12 should be fine, unless other directed by your teacher.

Question:
Find the distance between the points (-4 , -5) and (-1 , -1).
Inactive
Natasha H.
First, understand what the question is asking. The question asks to find the distance, meaning they want you to find the slope. Slope is rise over run or in other words Y2-Y1 divided by X2-X1. Coordinate points are (x,y), so lets go ahead and label (-4,-5) as (x1,x2) and (-1,-1) as (x2,y2). After we do that we get -1-(-5) divided by -1-(-4), which will give us -1+5 over -1+4. We get that answer because negative times negative gives us positive. Then we proceed to adding the numbers and we get 4/3.

62 satuan
• D.
58 satuan
A. 64 satuan
Explanation
The correct answer is 64 satuan because the shape in the image appears to be a square, and the area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Since the length of one side is not given in the question, we can assume that it is equal to the width of the shape. Therefore, the area of the shape is equal to the width multiplied by the width, which gives us 64 satuan.

B. 16,5 satuan
Explanation
The correct answer is 16,5 satuan. The question states that if points A, B, and C are connected with lines, it will form a triangle. The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and dividing it by 2. Since the question does not provide the base and height of the triangle, it is not possible to calculate the exact area. Therefore, the best explanation for the correct answer is that it is based on an assumption or previous knowledge about the specific triangle being referred to in the question.

Explanation
To form a rhombus, the opposite sides must be parallel and equal in length. Looking at the given coordinates, the points (4, -3), (-3, 4), and (-2, 4) do not form a rhombus because their opposite sides are not parallel. However, the points (4, -2) and (-2, 4) do form a rhombus because their opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. Therefore, the correct answer is (4, -2).

B. (-1,-2)
Explanation
The correct answer is (-1,-2) because in order for the dots to form a parallelogram, the opposite sides must be parallel and equal in length. By looking at the given coordinates, the opposite sides of the parallelogram formed by the dots are (-2,-1) to (-1,-2) and (-4,-3) to (-3,-4). These sides are parallel and equal in length, satisfying the condition for a parallelogram. Therefore, the correct coordinate for point D is (-1,-2).

The given points M (0,3), N (0,-3), and O (7,0) form a triangle. To determine the type of triangle formed, we can calculate the lengths of the sides. The distance between M and N is 6 units (3-(-3)), the distance between N and O is 7 units (7-0), and the distance between O and M is also 7 units (7-0). Since all three sides have different lengths, the triangle formed is not equilateral. However, since two sides have the same length (7 units), the triangle is isosceles or "segitiga sama kaki" in Indonesian.

2. Here, regrouping is defined as the process of making and then carrying out the operation like addition with two-digit numbers or larger than the two-digit numbers. And we use regrouping in addition when the sum of two digits in the place value column is greater than nine. And Regrouping in subtraction is a method of interchanging one ten into ten ones. This regrouping of subtraction is used to work out the different subtraction problems. We can regroup to trade 10 ones for 1 ten. And we can regroup to trade 10 ones for 1 ten.
3. 20 ones are the same as 2 tens. As two tens mean 2 × 10= 20 and 20 × 1= 20, so 20 ones are the same as 2 tens.

# How to find the area of a rhombus
A rhombus is the “jewel” of all parallelograms – after all, it is in the shape of a diamond. More technically, however, any shape that has four congruent sides is a rhombus. As you venture into the world of geometry, you will begin working with various shapes, including the rhombus. Getting to know more about it, its characteristics and how to work with it will help you along the way.
To feel confident you have found a rhombus, look for the following characteristics that all rhombuses possess. The rhombus is an equal opportunity parallelogram. No side is bigger or better than the other. In fact, they are all equal. The rhombus is part of the bigger group of parallelograms.
The altitude of any rhombus is the distance (at right angles) between two of the sides. When you create diagonal lines from each corner, they will bisect and create right angles.
The Area of a Rhombus
When you begin working with shapes in geometry, one of the first things you will do is find out all you can about it. One of these measurements is the area.
To calculate the area of a rhombus, you follow the steps here.
Step 1: Area = Altitude x s (s = side length)
Step 2: The length of the side squared, or multiplied by sine of angle A or B. This would be written as Area = sin(A).
Step 3: Multiply the diagonal lengths and then divide by 2. This would be written as Area = (p x q)/2.
For example, what if you were given a rhombus with diagonals of 8 m and 10 m. What would the area of this rhombus be? To solve this problem, you simply use the equation above.
Related text How to relieve sore throat
Area = (8 m x 10 m)/2 =
The Perimeter of a Rhombus
The perimeter is defined as the distance around the edges of a rhombus. The perimeter is always equal to four times “s” (the length of the sides) since all of the sides are an equal length. This means that Perimeter = 4s.
For example, the side length of a rhombus is 10 cm, the perimeter would be 4(10) = 40.
Important Notes
Squares are rhombuses. This is just a rhombus that has all right angles. While the most common term used to describe this shape in geometry is “rhombus” you may also hear the shape referred to as a rhomb or diamond. The plural for several of these is rhombuses or rhombi. The actual word rhombus is derived from “rhombos” which is Greek and means a piece of wood that is whirled on a string to create a roaring noise.
Being able to work with a rhombus is essential. It will help you get through geometry and help you other times in life. Make sure to use the tips and equations here to ensure you can solve for the area and perimeter of any rhombus you are given. |

# How do you define a variable and write an expression for each phrase: nine times the quotient of a number and three?
Jul 28, 2016
$9 \times \left(x \div 3\right) = 9 \times \frac{x}{3} = \frac{9 \times x}{3}$
#### Explanation:
In algebra we can work with numbers even if we do not know their exact value.
WE can always just call a number $x , \mathmr{and} y , \mathmr{and} a , \mathmr{and} b$
This is called defining the variable.
In this question where a number is being referred to, let's call the number "x".
Let the number be $x$
The word "quotient" means the answer to a division and is always used with the word "AND".
The QUOTIENT of $15 \mathmr{and} \text{3 is 5 because } \frac{15}{3} = 5$.
"nine times the quotient of a number and three" means
Muliply 9 by the answer to our number (x), divided by 3.
$9 \times \left(x \div 3\right)$
OR $9 \times \frac{x}{3}$ |

These NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Comparing Quantities Ex 8.1 Questions and Answers are prepared by our highly skilled subject experts.
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Comparing Quantities Exercise 8.1
Question 1.
Find the ratio of the following:
(a) Speed of a cycle 15km per hour to the speed of scooter 30 km per hour.
(b) 5 m to 10 km
(c) 50 paise to ₹ 5
Solution:
(a) Speed of the cycle = 15 km per hour.
Speed of the scooter = 30 km per hour.
∴ Ratio = Speed of the cycle : Speed of the scooter
= 15 : 30
= 1 : 2 (Divided by 15)
(b) 10 km = 10 × 1000 m = 10000 m
Ratio = 5 m : 10 km
= 5 : 10000
= 1 : 2000
(c) ₹ 5 = 5 × 100 paise = 500 paise
Ratio = 50 paise : ₹ 5
= 50 : 500
= 1 : 10
Question 2.
Convert the following ratios to percentages.
(a) 3 : 4
(b) 2 : 3
Solution:
(a) 3 : 4 = $$\frac{3}{4}$$
= $$\frac{3}{4}$$ × 100%
= 75%
(b) 2 : 3 = $$\frac{2}{3}$$
= $$\frac{2}{3}$$ × 100
= $$\frac{200}{3}$$
= 66$$\frac{2}{3}$$ %
Question 3.
72% of 25 students are good at mathematics. How many are not good in mathematics.
Solution:
Total number of students = 25
Number of students good in mathematics = 72% of 25
= $$\frac{72}{100}$$ × 25
= 18
Number of students who are not good in mathematics = 25 – 18 = 7
Percentage of students not good in mathematics = $$\frac{7}{25}$$ × 100
= 7 × 4
= 28%
or = $$\frac{28}{100}$$ × 25 = 7 students are not good in Mathematics.
Question 4.
A football team won 10 matches out of the total number of matches they played. If their win percentage was 40, then how many matches did they play in all?
Solution:
Number of matches won by the team = 10
Let the total number of matches be ‘x’
The team won 40% the total number matches.
∴ $$\frac{40}{100}$$ × x = 10
x = $$\frac{10 \times 100}{40}$$ = 25
∴ Total number of matches played = 25.
Question 5.
If Chameli had ₹ 600 left after spending 75% of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?
Solution:
Amount left with Chameli = (100 – 75)% = 25%
Let the total amount with Chameli be ₹ ‘x’
∴ 25% of total money = ₹ 600
$$\frac{25}{100}$$ × x = 600
x = $$\frac{600 \times 100}{25}$$ = ₹ 2400
Amount in the beginning = ₹ 2400
Question 6.
If 60% of people in a city like a cricket 30% like football and the remaining like other games, then what percent of the people like other games? If the total number of people is 50 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.
Solution:
People who like cricket = 60%
People who like football = 30%
People who like other games = 100 – (60 + 30)
= 100 – 90
= 10%
Total number of people = 50,00,000
No. of people who like cricket = $$\frac{60}{100}$$ × 50,00,000 = 30,00,000
No. of people who like football = $$\frac{30}{100}$$ × 50,00,000 = 15,00,000
No. of people who like other games = $$\frac{10}{100}$$ × 50,00,000 = 5,00,000

##### be prepared!
Before you get started, take this readiness quiz.
1. Divide and reduce, if possible: $$(4 + 5) ÷ (10 − 7)$$. If you missed this problem, review Example 3.2.8.
2. Multiply and write the answer in simplified form: $$\dfrac{1}{8} \cdot \dfrac{2}{3}$$. If you missed this problem, review Example 4.2.7.
3. Convert $$2 \dfrac{3}{5}$$ into an improper fraction. If you missed this problem, review Example 4.1.11.
## Multiply and Divide Mixed Numbers
In the previous section, you learned how to multiply and divide fractions. All of the examples there used either proper or improper fractions. What happens when you are asked to multiply or divide mixed numbers? Remember that we can convert a mixed number to an improper fraction. And you learned how to do that in Visualize Fractions.
##### Example $$\PageIndex{1}$$: multiply
Multiply: $$3 \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{5}{8}$$
Solution
Convert $$3 \dfrac{1}{3}$$ to an improper fraction. $$\dfrac{10}{3} \cdot \dfrac{5}{8}$$ Multiply. $$\dfrac{10 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 8}$$ Look for common factors. $$\dfrac{\cancel{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot \cancel{2} \cdot 4}$$ Remove common factors. $$\dfrac{5 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 4}$$ Simplify. $$\dfrac{25}{12}$$
Notice that we left the answer as an improper fraction, $$\dfrac{25}{12}$$, and did not convert it to a mixed number. In algebra, it is preferable to write answers as improper fractions instead of mixed numbers. This avoids any possible confusion between $$2 \dfrac{1}{12}$$ and $$2 \cdot \dfrac{1}{12}$$.

## Translate Phrases to Expressions with Fractions
The words quotient and ratio are often used to describe fractions. In Subtract Whole Numbers, we defined quotient as the result of division. The quotient of $$a$$ and $$b$$ is the result you get from dividing $$a$$ by $$b$$, or $$\dfrac{a}{b}$$. Let’s practice translating some phrases into algebraic expressions using these terms.
##### Example $$\PageIndex{5}$$: translate
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: “the quotient of $$3x$$ and $$8$$.”
Solution
The keyword is quotient; it tells us that the operation is division. Look for the words of and and to find the numbers to divide.
The quotient of $$3x$$ and $$8$$.
This tells us that we need to divide $$3x$$ by $$8$$. $$\dfrac{3x}{8}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{9}$$
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: the quotient of $$9s$$ and $$14$$.
$$\dfrac{9s}{14}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{10}$$
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: the quotient of $$5y$$ and $$6$$.
$$\dfrac{5y}{6}$$
##### Example $$\PageIndex{6}$$:
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: the quotient of the difference of $$m$$ and $$n$$, and $$p$$.
Solution
We are looking for the quotient of the difference of $$m$$ and $$n$$, and $$p$$. This means we want to divide the difference of $$m$$ and $$n$$ by $$p$$.
$\dfrac{m − n}{p} \nonumber$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{11}$$
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: the quotient of the difference of $$a$$ and $$b$$, and $$cd$$.
$$\dfrac{a-b}{cd}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{12}$$
Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression: the quotient of the sum of $$p$$ and $$q$$, and $$r$$.
$$\dfrac{p+q}{r}$$
## Simplify Complex Fractions
Our work with fractions so far has included proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers. Another kind of fraction is called complex fraction, which is a fraction in which the numerator or the denominator contains a fraction. Some examples of complex fractions are:
$\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{7}}{3} \quad \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{8}} \quad \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{6}} \nonumber$
To simplify a complex fraction, remember that the fraction bar means division. So the complex fraction $$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}$$ can be written as $$\dfrac{3}{4} \div \dfrac{5}{8}$$.
##### Example $$\PageIndex{7}$$: simplify
Simplify: $$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}$$.
Solution
Rewrite as division. $$\dfrac{3}{4} \div \dfrac{5}{8}$$ Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. $$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{8}{5}$$ Multiply. $$\dfrac{3 \cdot 8}{4 \cdot 5}$$ Look for common factors. $$\dfrac{3 \cdot \cancel{4} \cdot 2}{\cancel{4} \cdot 5}$$ Remove common factors and simplify. $$\dfrac{6}{5}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{13}$$
Simplify: $$\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{\dfrac{5}{6}}$$.
$$\dfrac{4}{5}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{14}$$
Simplify: $$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{7}}{\dfrac{6}{11}}$$.
$$\dfrac{11}{14}$$
##### HOW TO: SIMPLIFY A COMPLEX FRACTION
Step 1. Rewrite the complex fraction as a division problem.
Step 2. Follow the rules for dividing fractions.
Step 3. Simplify if possible.
##### Example $$\PageIndex{8}$$: simplify
Simplify: $$\dfrac{− \dfrac{6}{7}}{3}$$.
Solution
Rewrite as division. $$- \dfrac{6}{7} \div 3$$ Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. $$- \dfrac{6}{7} \cdot \dfrac{1}{3}$$ Multiply; the product will be negative. $$- \dfrac{6 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 3}$$ Look for common factors. $$- \dfrac{\cancel{3} \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot \cancel{3}}$$ Remove common factors and simplify. $$- \dfrac{2}{7}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{15}$$
Simplify: $$\dfrac{− \dfrac{8}{7}}{4}$$.
$$-\dfrac{2}{7}$$
##### Exercise $$\PageIndex{16}$$
Simplify: $$− \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{9}{10}}$$.
$$-\dfrac{10}{3}$$
##### Example $$\PageIndex{9}$$: simplify

# Thread: Prove that the limit exists using eps-delta definition
1. ## Prove that the limit exists using eps-delta definition
Question 1 )
limx->4 (7-3 x) = -5
I was able to solve it and found that d= -E/3 - But my problem is that how do I verify/show that my delta works? Please explain.
And there is another question where I am not sure how to approach it after simplifying it
Question 2)
lim x->2 (x^3)=8
|x-2||x^2+2x+4|<E |x-2|<d

Surely, you mean $\displaystyle \delta = \varepsilon/3$. Delta needs to be positive.
But my problem is that how do I verify/show that my delta works?
Well, how then did you find it?
In order to prove that $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 4}(7-3x)=-5$, you need to show that for any $\displaystyle \varepsilon>0$ there exists a $\displaystyle \delta>0$ such that for all x with $\displaystyle |x-4|<\delta$ the following inequality holds:
$\displaystyle |(7-3x)-(-5)| < \varepsilon$
Now, simplify the left side to get
$\displaystyle |12-3x|< \varepsilon$
Pull out a positive factor of 3 like this
$\displaystyle 3\cdot |4-x|<\varepsilon$
and divide by 3 to get
$\displaystyle |4-x|<\varepsilon/3$
which is equivalent to
$\displaystyle |x-4|<\varepsilon/3$
Now all these inequalities are equivalent. So if the last inequality is satisfied, which is the case if you set $\displaystyle \delta := \varepsilon/3$ and require that $\displaystyle |x-4|<\delta$, then the first of these inequalities, the one that you have to show, also holds.
And there is another question where I am not sure how to approach it after simplifying it
Question 2)
lim x->2 (x^3)=8
|x-2||x^2+2x+4|<E |x-2|<d
$\displaystyle |x^3-8|<\varepsilon$
and try to figure out how requiring $\displaystyle |x-2|<\delta$, for a suitably chosen $\displaystyle \delta>0$, guarantees that this inequality holds.
$\displaystyle |x-2|\cdot |x^2+2x+4|<\varepsilon$
Well, $\displaystyle x^2+2x+4=(x+1)^2+3$ by completion of the square. Thus the quadratic polynomial and its absolute value are the same (because the polynomial is always positive) and it assumes its smallest value 3 at x=-1.
So lets therefore already limit x to satisfy |x-2|<1, i.e. x must be from the interval (1,3). For such values of x, the quadratic factor assumes its largest value at x=3, which gives us the required upper bound $\displaystyle M := 3^2+2*3+4=19$.
Finally, divide the above inequality by M on both sides to get your $\displaystyle \delta :=\min(1,\varepsilon/19)$.
(We must make sure that $\displaystyle \delta < 1$, because otherwies our choice of M as an upper bound for the quadratic factor on the left side of the inequality would not be valid.) |
# Order Of Operations Basic
People have come up with a common set of basic rules for performing computations.
Many years back, mathematicians came up with the standard “Order of Operations.” This is telling you which calculations should be made first in expressions that have more than just one operation.

### Video Transcription
We explained parentheses earlier.
You must do the math part inside of the parentheses first.
When you’ve got ready with all of the stuff inside, you can move on to the operations that are in the problem’s open areas. Also, when they’re located inside the parentheses, you first need to complete the operations of multiplication and division.
When the problem to solve is “3 + 5 x 6”, you need to do the part “5 x 6” of the problem first and add the three (3) later to the product.
The same principle is true for divisions. A problem like, for example, “16 – 4 ÷ 2” needs to be done in two steps. First comes division, which results in the answer of 2. In the next step, you will subtract 2 from 16.
And when you have to deal with a variety of operations, addition and subtraction are the last steps.
So, begin with the parentheses, then move on to multiplication and division, and lastly, do addition and subtraction.
Here’s an example:
6 ÷ 2 x 5 – 5 + (11 – 3) = ?
1: Parentheses first: 6 : 2 x 5 – 5+ (8) = ?
2: Multiplication and Division:
In which order you need to be computing, multiplication, and division are always determined by which of the two comes first (from left to right).
6 ÷ 2 x 5 – 5+ (8) = ?
3 x 5 – 5 +(8) = ?
15 – 5 + 8=
The order in which addition and subtraction must be dealt with first is determined by which one comes first as well (from left to right).
15-5+8=
10+8=18
Order of Operations Summary
1) First, carry out all operations within our grouping symbols. Grouping symbols include parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces { }, and fraction bars.
2) Then multiply and divide (always from left to right).
3) Then, add and subtract (from left to right).
Summary
The order in which we evaluate expressions can be ambiguous. The best way for avoiding ambiguities when evaluating expressions is establishing the correct order in which our operations must be performed. That’s crucial!
The guidelines described here should be strictly enforced at all times when we evaluate expressions. |
# Skip Counting Nines
Skip counting nines may seem difficult at first.
As the numbers we use get larger, it is easy to get overwhelmed, but honestly, once you get past eight, nine through twelve are easier--many of the multiplication problems have been covered in other units already--so there's not a lot of new material to learn.
There is a little trick your child can use to remember the multiples of nine.
## Counting By Nines
The trick is that whatever the answer is, it will always add up to nine.
For example:
9 X 2 = 18
1 + 8 = 9
From 18, your child can then work his way through factor families by increasing the first digit (in this case "1") and decreasing the second digit (in this case "8"):
1 + 8 = 9
2 + 7 = 9
3 + 6 = 9
4 + 5 = 9
5 + 4 = 9
6 + 3 = 9
7 + 2 = 9
8 + 1 = 9
9 + 0 = 9
An easier way is to drop a digit from whatever factor nine is paired with and then add it up to nine.
For example:
9 X 7 = ?
In the example above, nine is paired with a factor of seven. Drop a digit, you now have the number 6. Six plus 3 equals nine so the answer is 63. Let's try another one.
9 X 5 = ?
In this example, nine is paired with five. Drop down to 4. Four plus 5 equals nine. The answer is 45. It may seem tricky at first, but once your child gets this quick method down, he or she will be the fastest kid in class!
It's not entirely useful for larger numbers, but it is a good way to check your work.
Example:
9 X 26 = 234
2 + 3 + 4 = 9
## Skip Counting Nines Worksheets
In the first worksheet, skip count by nines to fill in the missing numbers on the baseball jerseys.
The second worksheet will put your child's adding skills to the test. Remember how we added answers together to see if they equaled nine? She'll need to do that in order to circle the mice with multiples of nines on their money sacks.
The final worksheet is a bit of a review. It's a color-by-multiples worksheet. Use the legend at the top to determine which color should be used in each box. If done correctly, your child should color an ice cream cone.

Advertisement Remove all ads
#### Solution
First, we will convert the given inequations into equations, we obtain the following equations:
2x y = 18, 3x + 2y = 34
Region represented by 2x ≥ 18:
The line 2x y = 18 meets the coordinate axes at A(9, 0) and B(0, 18) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x y = 18.
Clearly (0,0) does not satisfies the inequation 2x ≥ 18. So,the region in xy plane which does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x ≥ 18.
Region represented by 3x + 2y ≤ 34:
The line 3x + 2y = 34 meets the coordinate axes at
$C\left( \frac{34}{3}, 0 \right)$ and D(0, 17) respectively.
By joining these points we obtain the line 3x + 2y= 34.
Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 3x + 2y ≤ 34. So,the region containing the origin
represents the solution set of the inequation 3x + 2y ≤ 34.
The corner points of the feasible region are A(9, 0),
$C\left( \frac{34}{3}, 0 \right)$ and E(2, 14).
The values of Z at these corner points are as follows.
Corner point Z = 50x + 30y
A(9, 0) 50 × 9 + 3 × 0 = 450
$C\left( \frac{34}{3}, 0 \right)$ 50 x $\frac{34}{3}$ + 30 x 0= $\frac{1700}{3}$
E(2, 14)
50 × 2 + 30 × 14 = 520
Therefore, the maximum value of Z is
$\frac{1700}{3}\text{ at the point } \left( \frac{34}{3}, 0 \right)$ .Hence, x =
$\frac{34}{3}$ and y =0 is the optimal solution of the given LPP.
Thus, the optimal value of Z is $\frac{1700}{3}$ .

### 1. Six Basic Functions
Below are six basic functions:
1.
2. Memorize the shapes of these functions.
### 2. Horizontal Shifting
Consider the graphs
$$y =$$
• $$(x+0)^2$$
• $$(x+1)^2$$
• $$(x+2)^2$$
• $$(x+3)^2$$
Exercise
Use the list features of a calculator to sketch the graph of
$$y = \dfrac{1}{ [x - \{0,1,2,3\}] }$$
Horizontal Shifting Rules
• Rule 1: $$f(x - a) = f(x)$$ shifted $$a$$ units to the right.
• Rule 2: $$f(x + a) = f(x)$$ shifted $$a$$ units to the left.
### 3. Vertical Shifting
Consider the graphs
$$y =$$
• $$x^3$$
• $$x^3+ 1$$
• $$x^3 + 2$$
• $$x^3 + 3$$
Exercise
Use the list features of a calculator to sketch the graph of
$$y = x^3 - \{0,1,2,3\}$$
Vertical Shifting Rules
• Rule 3: $$f(x ) + a = f(x)$$ shifted a units up.
• Rule 4: $$f(x) - a = f(x)$$ shifted a units down.
### 4. Reflecting About the x-axis
Consider the graphs of
$$y = x^2$$ and $$y = -x^2$$.
x-Axis Reflection Rule
Rule 5: $$-f(x) = f(x)$$ reflected about the x-axis.
### 5. Reflecting About the y-axis
Exercise
Use the calculator to graph
$$y=\sqrt{x}$$
and
$$y=\sqrt{-x}$$
y-Axis Reflection Rule
Rule 6: $$f(-x ) = f(x)$$ reflected about the y-axis.
### 6. Stretching and Compressing
Exercise
Graph the following:
$$y = \{1,2,3,4\}x^3$$
$$y = {1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5}x^3$$
Stretching and Compression rules:
• Rule 7: $$cf(x ) = f(x)$$ (for $$c > 1$$) stretched vertically.
• Rule 8: $$cf(x ) = f(x)$$ (for $$c < 1$$) compressed vertically.
Exercise
Graph the following
1. $$y = x^2 - 10$$
2. $$y = \sqrt{x - 2}$$
3. $$y = -|x - 5| + 3$$
We will do some examples (including the graph of the winnings for the gambler and for the casino).
### 7. Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Definition
A function is called increasing if as an object moves from left to right, it is moving upwards along the graph. Or equivalently,
If $$x < y$$, then $$f(x) < f(y)$$.
Example 1
The curve
$y = x^2$
is increasing on $$(0,\infty)$$ and decreasing on $$(-\infty,0)$$. |

# 2022 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 25
## Problem
A cricket randomly hops between $4$ leaves, on each turn hopping to one of the other $3$ leaves with equal probability. After $4$ hops what is the probability that the cricket has returned to the leaf where it started?
$\textbf{(A) }\frac{2}{9}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\frac{19}{80}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\frac{20}{81}\qquad\textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{4}\qquad\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}$
## Solution 1 (Casework)
Let $A$ denote the leaf where the cricket starts and $B$ denote one of the other $3$ leaves. Note that:
• If the cricket is at $A,$ then the probability that it hops to $B$ next is $1.$
• If the cricket is at $B,$ then the probability that it hops to $A$ next is $\frac13.$
• If the cricket is at $B,$ then the probability that it hops to $B$ next is $\frac23.$
We apply casework to the possible paths of the cricket:
1. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A$
The probability for this case is $1\cdot\frac13\cdot1\cdot\frac13=\frac19.$
2. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow B \rightarrow B \rightarrow A$
The probability for this case is $1\cdot\frac23\cdot\frac23\cdot\frac13=\frac{4}{27}.$
Together, the probability that the cricket returns to $A$ after $4$ hops is $\frac19+\frac{4}{27}=\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}.$
~MRENTHUSIASM
## Solution 2 (Casework)
We can label the leaves as shown below:
Carefully counting cases, we see that there are $7$ ways for the cricket to return to leaf $A$ after four hops if its first hop was to leaf $B$:
1. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A$
2. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow C \rightarrow A$
3. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \rightarrow A$
4. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow A$
5. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D \rightarrow A$
6. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow B \rightarrow A$
7. $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow C \rightarrow A$
By symmetry, we know that there are $7$ ways if the cricket's first hop was to leaf $C$, and there are $7$ ways if the cricket's first hop was to leaf $D$. So, there are $21$ ways in total for the cricket to return to leaf $A$ after four hops.
Since there are $3^4 = 81$ possible ways altogether for the cricket to hop to any other leaf four times, the answer is $\frac{21}{81} = \boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}$.

## Solution 3 (Complement)
There are always three possible leaves to jump to every time the cricket decides to jump, so there is a total number of $3^4$ routes. Let $A$ denote the leaf cricket starts at, and $B, C, D$ be the other leaves. If we want the cricket to move to leaf $A$ for its last jump, the cricket cannot jump to leaf $A$ for its third jump. Also, considering that the cricket starts at leaf $A$, he cannot jump to leaf $A$ for its first jump. Note that there are $3\cdot2=6$ paths if the cricket moves to leaf $A$ for its third jump. Therefore, we can conclude that the total number of possible paths for the cricket to return to leaf $A$ after four jumps is $3^3 - 6 = 21$, so the answer is $\frac{21}{3^4} = \frac{21}{81}=\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}$.
## Solution 4 (Recursion)
Denote $P_n$ to be the probability that the cricket would return back to the first point after $n$ hops. Then, we get the recursive formula $$P_n = \frac13(1-P_{n-1})$$ because if the leaf is not on the target leaf, then there is a $\frac13$ probability that it will make it back.
With this formula and the fact that $P_1=0$ (After one hop, the cricket can never be back to the target leaf.), we have $$P_2 = \frac13, P_3 = \frac29, P_4 = \frac7{27},$$ so our answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}$.

## Solution 5 (Dynamic Programming)
Let $A$ denote the leaf cricket starts at, and $B, C, D$ be the other leaves, similar to Solution 2.
Let $A(n)$ be the probability the cricket lands on $A$ after $n$ hops, $B(n)$ be the probability the cricket lands on $B$ after crawling $n$ hops, etc.
Note that $A(1)=0$ and $B(1)=C(1)=D(1)=\frac13.$ For $n\geq2,$ the probability that the cricket land on each leaf after $n$ hops is $\frac13$ the sum of the probability the cricket land on other leaves after $n-1$ hops. So, we have \begin{align*} A(n) &= \frac13 \cdot [B(n-1) + C(n-1) + D(n-1)], \\ B(n) &= \frac13 \cdot [A(n-1) + C(n-1) + D(n-1)], \\ C(n) &= \frac13 \cdot [A(n-1) + B(n-1) + D(n-1)], \\ D(n) &= \frac13 \cdot [A(n-1) + B(n-1) + C(n-1)]. \end{align*} It follows that $A(n) = B(n-1) = C(n-1) = D(n-1).$
We construct the following table: $$\begin{array}{c|cccc} & & & & \\ [-2ex] n & A(n) & B(n) & C(n) & D(n) \\ [1ex] \hline & & & & \\ [-1ex] 1 & 0 & \frac13 & \frac13 & \frac13 \\ & & & & \\ 2 & \frac13 & \frac29 & \frac29 & \frac29 \\ & & & & \\ 3 & \frac29 & \frac{7}{27} & \frac{7}{27} & \frac{7}{27} \\ & & & & \\ 4 & \frac{7}{27} & \frac{20}{81} & \frac{20}{81} & \frac{20}{81} \\ [1ex] \end{array}$$ Therefore, the answer is $A(4)=\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}$.
## Solution 6 (Generating Function)
Assign the leaves to $0, 1, 2,$ and $3$ modulo $4,$ and let $0$ be the starting leaf. We then use generating functions with relation to the change of leaves. For example, from $3$ to $1$ would be a change of $2,$ and from $1$ to $2$ would be a change of $1.$ This generating function is equal to $(x+x^2+x^3)^4.$ It is clear that we want the coefficients in the form of $x^{4n},$ where $n$ is a positive integer. One application of roots of unity filter gives us a successful case count of $\frac{81+1+1+1}{4} = 21.$
Therefore, the answer is $\frac{21}{3^4}=\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}.$
~sigma
## Solution 7 (Also Generating Functions)
Let the leaves be $(0,0), (0,1), (1,0),$ and $(1,1)$ on the coordinate plane, with the cricket starting at $(0,0)$. Then we write a generating function. We denote $x$ a change in the x-value of the cricket, and similarly for $y$. Then our generating function is $(x+y+xy)^4,$ and we wish to compute the number of terms in which the exponents of both x and y are even. To do this, we first square to get $(x^2 + y^2 + x^2y^2 + 2xy + 2x^2y + 2xy^2)^2$. Note that every term squared will give even powers for x and y, so that gives us $3 + 4\cdot3 = 15.$ Then every combination of $x^2, y^2,$ and $x^2y^2$ will also give us even powers for x and y, so that yields $6$ more terms, for a total of $21.$ Now in total there $3^4 = 81$ possible sequences, so $21/81$ gives us the answer of $\boxed{\textbf{(E) }\frac{7}{27}}.$

# sin 30°
## Definition
The value of sine when the angle of the right angled triangle equals to $30^\circ$, is called $\sin 30^\circ$.
The value of $\sin 30^\circ$ can possibly find in mathematics by calculating the ratio of length of opposite side to length of hypotenuse of right angled triangle when the angle of right angled triangle is $30^\circ$.
### Proof
The value of $\sin 30^\circ$ can be derived in two different approaches but the system of development is common and it is geometric system.
1
#### Fundamental approach
In the case of right angled triangle whose angle is $30^\circ$, the length of hypotenuse is twice the length of the opposite side of the triangle. The value of sine of angle $30$ degrees can be derived on the basis of this principle.
$Length \, of \, Hypotenuse$ $=$ $2 \times Length \, of \, Opposite \, side$
$$\implies \frac{1}{2} = \frac{Length \, of \, Opposite \, side}{Length \, of \, Hypotenuse}$$
$$\implies \frac{Length \, of \, Opposite \, side}{Length \, of \, Hypotenuse} = \frac{1}{2}$$
The ratio of length of the opposite side to length of hypotenuse is called sine of an angle but the angle of the right angled triangle here is $30^\circ$. So, the ratio between two sides is sine of angle $30^\circ$.
$$\therefore \,\, \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$$
The value of sine of angle $30^\circ$ is exactly real because the fundamental approach is derived by the system of geometric properties of the right angled triangle when the angle of the triangle is $30^\circ$.
2
#### Practical approach
The value of $\sin 30^\circ$ can also be derived practically by the direct geometric approach.
1. Use ruler and draw a straight line horizontally. Call the left side point of this line as point $B$.
2. Take protractor, coincide point $B$ with centre of the protractor and also coincide horizontal line with right side base line of the protractor. Then mark a point at $30$ degrees angle by considering the bottom scale of the protractor.
3. Take ruler and draw a straight line from point $B$ through $30$ degrees angle point.
4. Take compass and set it to have $8$ centimetres length between pencil’s lead and needle point by considering the ruler. Then, draw an arc from point $B$ on $30$ degrees angle line and call the intersecting point of arc and $30^\circ$ angle line as point $C$.
5. Take set square, and draw a straight line from $C$ to horizontal line but the line should intersect it perpendicularly. Call the intersecting point as point $D$.
In this way, a right angled triangle ($\Delta CBD$) is constructed with $30^\circ$ angle and $8$ centimeters long line.
The $8$ centimetres long line is actually hypotenuse of this triangle but the length of opposite side is unknown. So, take ruler and measure the length of opposite side. You observe that the length of the opposite side is $4$ centimetres exactly.
$$\sin 30^\circ = \frac{Length \, of \, Opposite \, side}{Length \, of \, Hypotenuse}$$
$$\implies \sin 30^\circ = \frac{CD}{BC}$$
$$\implies \sin 30^\circ = \frac{4}{8}$$
$$\implies \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
##### Result
The value of sine of angle $30$ degrees is derived in two methods and they both have given same value. So, it can be used anywhere without any doubt.
###### Representation
It is usually expressed in three different forms in mathematics.
In sexagesimal system, it is usually written in mathematical form as follows.
$$\sin 30^° = \frac{1}{2}$$
In circular system, it is also usually written in mathematics as follows.
$$\sin \Bigg(\frac{\pi}{6}\Bigg) = \frac{1}{2}$$
In centesimal system, it is also written in mathematical form as follows.
$$\sin {33\frac{1}{3}}^g = \frac{1}{2}$$ |
# Factoring a linear binomial
To factor a number means to write it as a product of its factors.
A linear binomial has two terms and highest degree of one
For example: 2x + 1; 9y + 43; 34p + 17q are linear binomials.
To factor a linear binomial means to write it as a product of its factors.
Rules to factor a linear binomial
• At first, we find the highest common factor of the terms of the linear binomial
• The HCF is factored out and the sum/difference of remaining factors is written in a pair of parentheses.
• This is like reversing the distributive property of multiplication.
Factor the following linear binomial:
28n + 63n2
### Solution
Step 1:
The HCF of 28n and 63n2 is 7n
Step 2:

Factor the following linear binomial:
65z – 52z4
### Solution
Step 1:
The HCF of 65z and 52z4 is 13z
Step 2:
Factoring the linear binomial
65z – 52z4 = 13z (5 – 4z3)
Factor the following linear binomial:
24x + 84x3
### Solution
Step 1:
The HCF of 24x and 84x3 is 12x
Step 2:
Factoring the linear binomial
24x + 84x3 = 12x (2 + 7x2) |
# A-level Mathematics/OCR/C1/Equations
An equation consists of two expressions joined by the equals sign (${\displaystyle =}$). Everything on the left-hand side is equal to everything on the right-hand side, for example ${\displaystyle 2+3=4+1}$. Some equations contain a variable, usually denoted by ${\displaystyle x}$ or ${\displaystyle y}$ , though any symbol can be used.
## Manipulating expressions
Sometimes, expressions will be messier than they need to be, and they can be represented in an easier to understand form. The skills here are essential to the rest of the A-level course, although it is very likely that you have already covered them at GCSE.
### Collecting like terms
When collecting like terms, you simply add all the terms in ${\displaystyle x}$ together, all the terms in ${\displaystyle y}$ together, and all the terms in ${\displaystyle z}$ together. The same applies for any other letter that represents a variable.
For example, ${\displaystyle 2x+4y+8z-3x-7y-2z+4x}$ becomes:
${\displaystyle 2x-3x+4x=3x}$
${\displaystyle 4y-7y=-3y}$
${\displaystyle 8z-2z=6z}$
So, by adding all the answers, ${\displaystyle 2x+4y+8z-3x-7y-2z+4x}$ simplified is ${\displaystyle 3x-3y+6z}$.
### Multiplication
Multiplication of different variables such as ${\displaystyle a\times b}$ becomes ${\displaystyle ab}$. Single variables become indices, so ${\displaystyle x\times x}$ is ${\displaystyle x^{2}}$.
Like addition and subtraction, you keep like terms together. So, for example:
${\displaystyle 2x^{2}z\times 3yz^{2}\times 4xy^{3}}$ becomes: ${\displaystyle 24{x^{3}}{y^{4}}{z^{3}}}$
### Fractions
It is quite often that fractions are encountered. Therefore we need to learn how to handle them properly. When working with fractions, the rule is to make all of the denominators equal, and then write the expression as one fraction. You need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same amount to keep the meaning of the fraction the same.
For example, for ${\displaystyle {\frac {3x}{2}}+{\frac {2y}{5}}-{\frac {z}{10}}}$, the common denomimator is ${\displaystyle 10}$.
Multiply both parts by ${\displaystyle 5}$: ${\displaystyle {\frac {15x}{10}}}$
Multiply both parts by ${\displaystyle 2}$: ${\displaystyle {\frac {4y}{10}}}$
Leave this as it is: ${\displaystyle {\frac {z}{10}}}$
You now have ${\displaystyle {\frac {15x}{10}}+{\frac {4y}{10}}-{\frac {z}{10}}}$, which becomes ${\displaystyle {\frac {15x+4y-z}{10}}}$.
## Solving equations
Often, to solve an equation you must rearrange it so that the unknown term is on its own side of the equals sign. By rearranging ${\displaystyle 2+x=5}$ to ${\displaystyle x=5-2}$, ${\displaystyle x}$ has been made the subject of the equation. Now by simplifying the equation, you can find that the solution is ${\displaystyle x=3}$.
An equation with a variable will only hold true for certain values of that variable. For example ${\displaystyle 2+x=5}$ is only true for ${\displaystyle x=3}$. The values that the variables have when the equation is true are called the solutions of the equation. Therefore ${\displaystyle x=3}$ is the solution of the equation ${\displaystyle 2+x=5}$.
### Changing the subject of an equation
You will usually be given equations that are more complex than the example above. To move a term from one side of the equals sign to the other, you have to do the same thing on both sides of the equals sign. For example, to make ${\displaystyle x}$ the subject of ${\displaystyle y={\frac {4a(x^{2}+b)}{3}}}$:
Multiply both sides by ${\displaystyle 3}$ ${\displaystyle 3y=4a(x^{2}+b)}$ Divide both sides by ${\displaystyle 4a}$ ${\displaystyle {\frac {3y}{4a}}=x^{2}+b}$ Subtract ${\displaystyle b}$ from both sides ${\displaystyle {\frac {3y}{4a}}-b=x^{2}}$ Square root both sides ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {{\frac {3y}{4a}}-b}}=x}$ or ${\displaystyle -{\sqrt {{\frac {3y}{4a}}-b}}=x}$
Quadratic equations are equations where the variable is raised to the power of 2 and, unlike linear equations, there are a maximum of two roots. A root is one value of the variable where the equation is true, and to fully solve an equation, you must find all of the roots. For a quadratic equation you can factorise it and then easily find which values make the equation valid. The example above is quite a simple case. You will usually be given a more complicated equation such as ${\displaystyle 2x^{2}+5x+3=0}$. If the equation isn't already in the form ${\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c=0}$, rearrange it so that it is. The steps needed to factorise ${\displaystyle 2x^{2}+5x+3=0}$ are:
Multiply ${\displaystyle 2}$ by ${\displaystyle 3}$ (coefficient of ${\displaystyle x^{2}}$ multiplied by the constant term) ${\displaystyle 2\times 3=6}$ Find two numbers that add to give ${\displaystyle 5}$ (coefficient of ${\displaystyle x}$) and multiply to give ${\displaystyle 6}$ (answer from previous step) ${\displaystyle 2\times 3=6}$, ${\displaystyle 2+3=5}$ Split ${\displaystyle 5x}$ to ${\displaystyle 2x+3x}$ (from the results of the previous step) ${\displaystyle 2x^{2}+2x+3x+3=0}$ Simplify ${\displaystyle 2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=0}$ Simplify further ${\displaystyle (2x+3)(x+1)=0}$
So ${\displaystyle (2x+3)(x+1)=0}$ is ${\displaystyle 2x^{2}+5x+3=0}$ in factorised form. You can now use the fact that any number multiplied by ${\displaystyle 0}$ is ${\displaystyle 0}$ to find the roots of the equation. The numbers that make one bracket equal to ${\displaystyle 0}$ are the roots of the equation. In the example, the roots are ${\displaystyle -1.5}$ and ${\displaystyle -1}$.
It is also possible to solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula or by completing the square.
## Simultaneous equations
Simultaneous equations are useful in solving two or more variables at once. Basic simultaneous equations consist of two linear expressions and can be solved by three different methods: elimination, substitution or by plotting the graph.
### Elimination method
The basic principle of the elimination method is to manipulate one or more of the expressions in order to cancel out one of the variables, and then solve for the correct solution.
An example of this:
${\displaystyle 2x+3y=10}$ (1) (Assigning the number (1) to this equation) ${\displaystyle 2x+6y=6}$ (2) (Assigning the number (2) to this equation)
From this, we can see that by multiplying equation (1) by a factor of 2 and then subtracting this new equation from (2), the ${\displaystyle y}$-variable will be eliminated.
(1) ${\displaystyle \times 2\rightarrow 4x+6y=20}$ (1a) (Assigning the number (1a) to this equation)
Now subtracting (2) from (1a):
${\displaystyle 4x+6y=20}$ (1a) ${\displaystyle -}$ ${\displaystyle 2x+6y=6}$ (2) ${\displaystyle =}$ ${\displaystyle 2x+0y=14}$
Now that we have ${\displaystyle 2x=14}$, we can solve for ${\displaystyle x}$, which in this case is ${\displaystyle 7}$.
${\displaystyle x=7}$.
Substitute the newly found ${\displaystyle x}$ into (1):
${\displaystyle 2\times 7+3y=10}$
${\displaystyle 14+3y=10}$
And we find that ${\displaystyle y=-4/3}$
So, the solution to the two equations (1) and (2) are:
${\displaystyle x=7}$
${\displaystyle y=-4/3}$
### Substitution method
The substitution method relies on being able to rearrange the expressions to isolate a single variable, in the form variable = expression. From this result this new expression can then be substituted for the variable itself, and the solutions evaluated.
An example of this:
${\displaystyle 2x+3y=12}$ (1) (Assigning the number (1) to this equation) ${\displaystyle x+y=6}$ (2) (Assigning the number (2) to this equation)
From this expression, it is possible to see that (2) is the most simplistic expression, and thus will be the better choice to rearrange.
Taking (2), and rearranging this into ${\displaystyle x=6-y}$. (2a)
Subbing (2a) into (1) we get
${\displaystyle 2(6-y)+3y=12}$
Solving this, we get that ${\displaystyle y=0}$
Again we can sub this result into one of the original equations to solve for ${\displaystyle x}$. In this case ${\displaystyle x=6}$.
Note that for situations in which one of the equations is non-linear, you must isolate one variable in the linear equation and substitute it into the non-linear one. Then you can solve the quadratic equation with one of the methods above.
Another form of substitution is if you've got a similar expression in both equations, like in this case:
${\displaystyle 2x+3y=10}$ (1) (Assigning the number (1) to this equation) ${\displaystyle 2x+6y=6}$ (2) (Assigning the number (2) to this equation)
Here, ${\displaystyle 2x}$ is found in both equations, so:
${\displaystyle 2x=10-3y}$ (1) ${\displaystyle 2x=6-6y}$ (2)
And since ${\displaystyle 2x=2x}$, you could do:
${\displaystyle 10-3y=6-6y}$
${\displaystyle 6y-3y=6-10}$
${\displaystyle 3y=-4}$
${\displaystyle y=-4/3}$
Now you've got ${\displaystyle y}$, and finding ${\displaystyle x}$ will be the same as above.
Graph by first solving for y. 2x+3y=12
### Solving problems with simultaneous equations
Often, you will be given problems which you must be able to write out as a pair of simultaneous equations. You will need to recognise such problems, and write them out correctly before solving them. Most problems will be similar to these examples with some differences.
Example
At a record store, 2 albums and 1 single costs £10. 1 album and 2 singles cost £8. Find the cost of an album and the cost of a single.
Taking an album as ${\displaystyle a}$ and a single as ${\displaystyle s}$, the two equations would be:
${\displaystyle 2a+s=10}$
${\displaystyle a+2s=8}$

Statement:
If a line touches a circle and from the point of contact a chord is drawn, the angles between the tangent and the chord are respectively equal to the angles in the corresponding alternate segments.
Explanation:
In the figure, the chord $$PQ$$ divides the circle into two segments. Then, the tangent $$AB$$ is drawn such that it touches the circle at $$P$$.
Thus, the angle in the alternate segment for $$\angle QPB$$ is $$\angle QSP$$ and that for $$\angle QPA$$ is $$\angle PTQ$$ are equal.
Then, $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle QSP$$ and $$\angle QPA$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PTQ$$.
Proof for the theorem:
Given:
Let $$O$$ be the centre of the circle.
The tangent $$AB$$ touches the circle at $$P$$, and $$PQ$$ is a chord.
Let $$S$$ and $$T$$ be the two points on the circle on the opposite sides of chord $$PQ$$.
To prove:
(i) $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle QSP$$ and
(ii) $$\angle QPA$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PTQ$$
Construction:
Draw the diameter $$POR$$ and draw $$QR$$, $$QS$$ and $$PS$$.
Proof:
The diameter $$RP$$ is perpendicular to the tangent $$AB$$.
So, $$\angle RPB$$ $$=$$ $$90^{\circ}$$.
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle RPQ$$ $$+$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$90^{\circ}$$ …… $$(1)$$
Consider the triangle $$RPQ$$.
We know that:
Angle in a semicircle is $$90^{\circ}$$.
By the theorem, we have $$\angle RQP$$ $$=$$ $$90^{\circ}$$. …… $$(2)$$
Thus, $$RPQ$$ is a right-angled triangle.
The sum of the two acute angles in the right-angled triangle, is $$90^{\circ}$$.
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle QRP$$ $$+$$ $$\angle RPQ$$ $$=$$ $$90^{\circ}$$ …… $$(3)$$
From equations $$(1)$$ and $$(3)$$, we have:
$$\angle RPQ$$ $$+$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle QRP$$ $$+$$ $$\angle RPQ$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle QRP$$ …… $$(4)$$
We know that:
Angles in the same segment are equal.
By the theorem, we have $$\angle QRP$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PSQ$$. …… $$(5)$$
From equations $$(4)$$ and $$(5)$$, we have:
$$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PSQ$$. …… $$(6)$$
Therefore, statement (i) is proved.
It is observed that $$\angle QPA$$ and $$\angle QPB$$ are linear angles.
We know that:
The linear pair of angle are always supplementary.
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle QPA$$ $$+$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$180^{\circ}$$ …… $$(7)$$
Consider the cyclic quadrilateral $$PSQT$$.
By the theorem, we have:
The sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is $$180^{\circ}$$.
$$\angle PSQ$$ $$+$$ $$\angle PTQ$$ $$=$$ $$180^{\circ}$$. …… $$(8)$$
From equations $$(7)$$ and $$(8)$$, we have:
$$\angle QPA$$ $$+$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PSQ$$ $$+$$ $$\angle PTQ$$
Substitute equation $$(6)$$ in the above equation.
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle QPA$$ $$+$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$=$$ $$\angle QPB$$ $$+$$ $$\angle PTQ$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\angle QPA$$ $$=$$ $$\angle PTQ$$
Therefore, statement (ii) is proved.
Example:
In the figure, $$AB$$ is the tangent, and $$CF$$ is the chord of the given circle. Next, find the value of $$x$$.
Solution:
Given, $$\angle BCF$$ $$=$$ $$57^{\circ}$$.
By the Alternate Segment Theorem, $$\angle BCF$$ $$=$$ $$\angle CDE$$.
Thus, $$x$$ $$=$$ $$57^{\circ}$$.
Therefore, the value of $$x$$ $$=$$ $$57^{\circ}$$.
Important!
This theorem is also known as Tangent - chord theorem. |
# Calculating Instantaneous Rates of Change
When calculating instantaneous rates of change students need to visualise the properties of the gradient for a straight line graph. I use the starter activity to see if they can match four graphs with their corresponding equations.
The only clue is the direction and steepness of the red lines in relation to the blue line y = x. All the graphs have an intercept of zero, to allow students to focus on the gradient. At the end of this activity I feedback to make sure students understand that lines which go downwards have a negative gradient and those that are steeper than y = x has a gradient greater than one.
##### Calculating Instantaneous Rates of Change
To introduce how to calculate an instantaneous rate of change on a curve we discuss how the steepness of the graph changes depending on the x value. I like to use the Geogebra applet below to demonstrate how the gradient of the tangent changes along the curve. The teacher can change the function depending on the point they are trying to make.
I provide the students with a print out of the next few slides for them to write on as we progress through the examples. This saves time and helps students develop a clear written method. I encourage the students to use integer coordinate pairs for calculating the change in horizontal and vertical whenever possible. This video demonstrates the written method I teach the students.
##### Practical Reasons for Calculating Instantaneous Rates of Change
As we progress through the lesson, I emphasise the practical reasons for calculating instantaneous rates of change. First, we calculate the rate of leakage from a water tank using a distance-time graph. Second, we use a velocity-time graph to estimate the acceleration of a ball as it travels through the air. In this example we discuss gravity as a force slowing the acceleration towards the turning-point then increasing as it begins to fall.
##### Assessing Progress and Feeding Back
I use the plenary to check student’s progress and understanding in two key areas.
1. How well can students find the gradient of a tangent to estimate an instantaneous rate of change?
2. Can students interpret the practical meaning of the gradient in the context of the two variables?
Students attempt this on mini-whiteboards and present their working to me for assessment. Estimating an instantaneous rate of change typically takes two, one hour lessons, During this time students work through the worksheet and several examination questions. It is important for students to become confident performing the calculations and understanding them within the context of the problems.

# Surface Area Of Cuboid & Cube: Formula, Derivation, Volume & Examples
In this blog, we will introduce the surface area of cuboid and cubes. We will begin with the surface area of the cuboid. Let us take a cuboid. We can see in each face of the cuboid there is a rectangle. So let us find out how many rectangles does a cuboid has? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So there are 6 rectangles as there are 6 faces of a cuboid. Now open this cuboid and mark its dimensions.
On opening, we have this. So we have used six rectangular pieces to cover the complete outer surface of the cuboid. This shows us that the outer surface of a cuboid is made up of six rectangles (in fact, rectangular regions, called the faces of the cuboid), whose areas can be found by multiplying the length by breadth for each of them separately and then adding the six areas together.
So, the sum of the areas of the six rectangles is:
Area of rectangle 1= (l × h) + Area of rectangle 2= (l × b)
+
Area of rectangle 3= (l × h)
+
Area of rectangle 4= (l × b)
+
Area of rectangle 5= (b × h)
+
Area of rectangle 6 = (b × h)
That is = 2(l × b) + 2(b × h) + 2(l × h) taking 2 common we have = 2(lb + bh + hl)
This gives us:
Surface Area of a Cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
What about a cube? Let us see in the case of the cube. For this also open up a cube. A cuboid, whose length, breadth, and height are all equal, is called a cube. If each edge of the cube is a, then the surface area of this cube would be
2(a × a + a × a + a × a) i.e., 6a2
The surface area of a cuboid (or a cube) is sometimes also referred to as the total surface area.
Solved Examples
1. Mary wants to decorate her Christmas tree. She wants to place the tree on a wooden box covered with colored paper with a picture of Santa Claus on it. She must know the exact quantity of paper to buy for this purpose. If the box has length, breadth, and height as 80 cm, 40 cm, and 20 cm respectively how many square sheets of paper on the side 40 cm would she require?
Solution: Since Mary wants to paste the paper on the outer surface of the box; the quantity of paper required would be equal to the surface area of the box which is of the shape of a cuboid. The dimensions of the box are:
Length =80 cm, Breadth = 40 cm, Height = 20 cm. so we need to go for surface area of box so the surface area of the box = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[(80 × 40) + (40 × 20) + (20 × 80)] cm2
= 2[3200 + 800 + 1600] cm2
= 2 × 5600 cm2 = 11200 cm2
Now let us go for the area of the sheet. The area of each sheet of the paper = 40 × 40 cm2= 1600 cm2
Therefore, the number of sheets required = surface area of box divided by area of the sheet. That is 11200 upon 1600 gives 7. Number of sheets required = 7 sheets
2. Hameed has built a cubical water tank with a lid for his house, with each outer edge 1.5 m long. He gets the outer surface of the tank excluding the base, covered with square tiles of the side 25 cm. Find how much he would spend for the tiles if the cost of the tiles is Rs 360 per dozen.
Solution: Since Hameed is getting the five outer faces of the tank covered with tiles, he would need to know the surface area of the tank, to decide on the number of tiles required.
Edge of the cubical tank = 1.5 m = 150 cm (= a)
So, surface area of the tank = 5 × 150 × 150 cm2
Area of each square tile = side × side = 25 × 25 cm2
So, the number of tiles required = surface area of tank upon area of tile. That is 5 x 150 x 150 upon 25 x 25. Cost of one dozen tiles i.e. cost of 12 tiles = Rs 360
Cost of one tile is = 360/12 =Rs30
So the cost of 180 tiles is = 180 x 30 = Rs 5400
Curved Surface Area Of Cuboid Formula:
The curved surface area of a cuboid is a total of four rectangle planes, except the top (upper) and bottom (lower) surfaces. Mathematically, the lateral or curved surface of cuboid formula is given as:
Curved surface area of cuboid formula = 2 (lh + wh) = 2 h (l + w) square units.
Volume Of Cuboid and Cube
Let’s discuss the volume of solids. If an object is solid, then the space occupied by such an object is measured and is termed the Volume of the object. On the other hand, if the object is hollow, then the interior is empty and can be filled with air, or some liquid that will take the shape of its container. In this case, the volume of the substance that can fill the interior is called the capacity of the container.
In short, the volume of an object is the measure of the space it occupies, and the capacity of an object is the volume of substance its interior can accommodate. Hence, the unit of measurement of either of the two is cubic unit.
First, we will consider the volume of the cuboid. Let us consider some rectangles stacked on top of each other. Suppose we say that the area of each rectangle is A, the height up to which the rectangles are stacked is h and the volume of the cuboid is V. Can you tell what would be the relationship between V, A, and h?
The area of the plane region occupied by each rectangle × height = Measure of the space occupied by the cuboid
So, we get A × h = V
That is, Volume of a Cuboid = base area × height = length × breadth × height
or l × b × h, where l, b and h are respectively the length, breadth and height of the cuboid.
Similarly in cube volume is area into height. And we also know that all three dimensions of cube are equal so we have Volume of a Cube = edge × edge × edge = a cube where a is the edge of the cube.
Solved Examples
1. A wall of length 10 m was to be built across open ground. The height of the wall is 4 m and the thickness of the wall is 24 cm. If this wall is to be built up with bricks whose dimensions are 24 cm × 12 cm × 8 cm, how many bricks would be required?
Solution: Since the wall with all its bricks makes up the space occupied by it, we need to find the volume of the wall, which is nothing but a cuboid. Here, Length = 10 m = 1000 cm
Thickness = 24 cm
Height = 4 m = 400 cm
Therefore, Volume of the wall = length × thickness × height
= 1000 × 24 × 400 cm3
Now, each brick is a cuboid with length = 24 cm, breadth = 12 cm and height = 8 cm
So, volume of each brick = length × breadth × height
= 24 × 12 × 8 cm3
2. A child playing with building blocks, which are of the shape of cubes, has built a structure. If the edge of each cube is 3 cm, find the volume of the structure built by the child.
Solution: Volume of each cube = edge × edge × edge = 3 × 3 × 3 cm cube = 27 cm3
Number of cubes in the structure = 15
Therefore, volume of the structure = 27 × 15 cm3
= 405 cm3 |

### Video Transcript
Find the equation of the normal to the curve π₯ squared times π¦ squared minus four π₯ plus two π¦ minus 20 is equal to zero at the point one, four.
The question wants us to find the equation of a normal to a curve defined implicitly at the point one, four. To find the equation of a normal, we recall if the tangent to the curve at the point π has a slope of π. Then the normal to the curve at the point π has a slope negative one divided by π. This is because the tangent and the normal lines are perpendicular to each other.
In fact, this tells us if the tangent line is horizontal, then the normal line will be vertical, and vice versa. So we can use the slope of the tangent to find the slope of our normal.
To find the slope of our tangent at the point one, four, weβre going to use differentiation. We differentiate both sides of our equation with respect to π₯ to help us find an expression for the slope dπ¦ by dπ₯. This gives us the derivative of π₯ squared π¦ squared minus four π₯ plus two π¦ minus 20 with respect to π₯ is equal to the derivative of zero with respect to π₯.
We can differentiate each term separately. We know the derivative of zero with respect to π₯ is just equal to zero. The derivative of negative 20 with respect to π₯ is also equal to zero. And the derivative of negative four π₯ with respect to π₯ is equal to negative four. To differentiate the remaining two terms, we recall that π¦ is a function of π₯. So we can differentiate these by using the chain rule.
The chain rule tells us since π¦ is a function of π₯, the derivative of π of π¦ with respect to π₯ is equal to the derivative of π with respect to π¦ multiplied by the derivative of π¦ with respect to π₯. We can use this to find the derivative of two π¦ with respect to π₯. Itβs equal to the derivative of two π¦ with respect to π¦ multiplied by dπ¦ by dπ₯. And we know the derivative of two π¦ with respect to π¦ is just equal to two.
We see the final term we need to differentiate is the product of two functions. So weβll need to use the product rule. The product rule tells us the derivative of the product of two functions π’ and π£ with respect to π₯ is equal to π’ times dπ£ by dπ₯ plus π£ times dπ’ by dπ₯. So we can use the product rule and the chain rule together to differentiate π₯ squared π¦ squared with respect to π₯.
Applying the product rule gives us π₯ squared times the derivative of π¦ squared with respect to π₯ plus π¦ squared times the derivative of π₯ squared with respect to π₯. We can differentiate π¦ squared with respect to π₯ by using the chain rule. Itβs the derivative of π¦ squared with respect to π¦. Thatβs two π¦ multiplied by dπ¦ by dπ₯. And we can evaluate the derivative of π₯ squared with respect to π₯ as two π₯.
So we have two π₯ squared π¦ dπ¦ by dπ₯ plus two π₯ π¦ squared minus four plus two dπ¦ by dπ₯ plus zero is equal to zero. And we want to find an expression for the slope of our tangents. So we need to rewrite this expression to have dπ¦ by dπ₯ as the subject.
First, weβll subtract two π₯π¦ squared and add four to both sides of the equation. Then weβll take out the shared factor of dπ¦ by dπ₯ from the remaining two terms. This gives us two π₯ squared π¦ plus two multiplied by dπ¦ by dπ₯ is equal to four minus two π₯π¦ squared.
Finally, we can divide both sides of our equation by two π₯ squared π¦ plus two to get dπ¦ by dπ₯ is equal to four minus two π₯π¦ squared all divided by two π₯ squared π¦ plus two. We want to find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point one, four. Thatβs when π₯ is equal to one and π¦ is equal to four. So we can substitute π₯ is equal to one and π¦ is equal to four into our expression for dπ¦ by dπ₯ to find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point one, four. Itβs equal to four minus two times one times four squared all divided by two times one squared times four plus two.
We can evaluate this to get an answer of negative 14 divided by five. However, this is the slope of the tangent to the curve at this point. We want the slope of the normal to the curve at this point. We can do this by finding negative one times the reciprocal of this value. The reciprocal of negative 14 divided by five is negative five divided by 14. We then multiply this by negative one to just get five divided by 14.
Since weβve found the slope of our normal line to be five divided by 14, we can write it in the standard form for a line. π¦ is equal to five divided by 14π₯ plus π. And from the question, we know that our normal line must pass through the point one, four. Since our line passes through the point one, four, we can substitute π₯ is equal to one and π¦ is equal to four to find the value of π.
We subtract five divided by 14 from both sides. And we see that π is equal to 51 divided by 14. Therefore, by using the fact π is equal to 51 over 14 and then rearranging our equation. We have the equation for the normal to the curve π₯ squared π¦ squared minus four π₯ plus two π¦ minus 20 is equal to zero at the point one, four is π¦ minus five π₯ over 14 minus 51 over 14 is equal to zero. |
# The positive Predictive Value
## Overview
Teaching: 20 min
Exercises: 40 min
Questions
• What is the positive Predictive Value (PPV) ?
Objectives
• After this lesson, you should understand what is the PPV
## Definitions: remiders
• $$H_0$$ : null hypothesis: The hypothesis that the effect we are testing for is null
• $$H_A$$ : alternative hypothesis : Not $$H_0$$, so there is some signal
• $$T$$ : The random variable that takes value “significant” or “not significant”
• $$T_S$$ : Value of T when test is significant (eg $$T = T_S$$)
• $$T_N$$ : Value of T when test is not significant (eg $$T = T_N$$)
• $$\alpha$$ : false positive rate - probability to reject $$H_0$$ when $$H_0$$ is true ($$H_A$$ is false) $$= P(T_S \mid H_0)$$
• $$\beta$$ : false negative rate - probability to accept $$H_0$$ when $$H_A$$ is true ($$H_0$$ is false) $$= P(T_N \mid H_A)$$
• power = $$W = 1-\beta$$
## PPV : definition
PPV = $$P(H_A \mid T_S)$$
## PPV : How do I compute it ? where does it come from ?
### Let’s do some basic probability
We consider that the hypotheses H_0 and H_A are random, i.e. they have associated probabilities. For instance, the probability of $$H_0$$ to be true could be 20%. We have either $$H_A$$ is true, or else $$H_0$$ is true. Therefore:
$$P(H_A = True) + P(H_0 = True) = 1$$.
We simply note
$$P(H_A = True)$$ as $$P(H_A)$$
and
$$P(T = T_S)$$ as $$P(T_S)$$
We are interested in the probability of a significant test, we can write
$P(T_S) = P(T_S, H_A) + P(T_S, H_0)$
because $T_S$ occurs either under the null or the alternative (mutually exclusive) and their represent all the possibilities.
## Bayes theorem
The famous Bayes theorem states:
$P(A, B) = P(A \mid B) P(B)$
and therefore
$P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(A, B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(B \mid A) P(A)}{P(B)}$
## Apply this to our question:
Now, apply this to the probability of the test results $$T$$.
The probability of a significant result of the test $$T=T_S$$ is :
$P(T_S) = P(T_S, H_A) + P(T_S, H_0)$ $P(T_S) = P(T_S \mid H_A) P(H_A) + P(T_S \mid H_0) P(H_0)$
What is the probability of $$H_A$$ given that the test is significant (eg, PPV) ?
$P(H_A \mid T_S) = \frac{P(T_S \mid H_A) P(H_A)}{P(T_S)} = \frac{P(T_S \mid H_A) P(H_A)}{P(T_S \mid H_A) Pr(H_A) + Pr(T_S \mid H_0) Pr(H_0)}$
And we know that
$P(T_S \mid H_A) = 1 - P(T_N \mid H_A) = 1 - \beta = W$
Substituting:
$P(H_A \mid T_S) = \frac{W P(H_A)}{W P(H_A) + \alpha P(H_0)}$
Defining: $$R = \frac{P(H_A)}{P(H_0)}$$ the odd ratio of the alternative over the null
$P(H_A \mid T_S) = \frac{W R}{W R + \alpha}$
## Task: Play with the PPV - understand the impact of the parameters
Pick a recent study that you have done in fMRI or using anatomical data.
try to propose values for power, alpha, and prior
Vary power from .1 to .9 and print or plot results
First define a function to compute the PPV from power, odd ratio and alpha
The solution below is in Python, but feel free to do it in your favorite scripting language
## Solution
def PPV_OR(odd_ratio, power, alpha, verbose=True):
"""
returns PPV from odd_ratio, power and alpha
parameters:
-----------
odd_ratio: float
P(H_A)/(1-P(H_A))
power: float
Power for this study
alpha: float
type I risk of error
Returns:
----------
float
The positive predicted value
"""
ppv = (power*odd_ratio)/(power*odd_ratio + alpha)
if verbose:
print("With odd ratio=%3.2f, "
"Power=%3.2f, alpha=%3.2f, "
"We have PPV=%3.2f" %(odd_ratio,power,alpha,ppv))
return ppv
Second define a function to display easily the results
## Solution
def plot_ppv(xvalues, yvalues, xlabel, ylabel, title):
'''
simply plot yvalues against xvalues, with labels and title
Parameters:
-----------
xvalues, yvalues : iterables of numbers
labels and title : string
'''
fig = plt.figure();
axis.plot(xvalues, yvalues, color='red', marker='o', linestyle='dashed',
linewidth=2, markersize=14);
axis.set_xlabel(xlabel,fontsize=20);
axis.set_ylabel(ylabel,fontsize=20);
axis.set_title(figure_title, fontsize=20);
return fig, axis
Last play with parameters : first, let's vary power
## Solution
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# An example
R = 1./5.
Pw = .5
alph = .05
ppv = PPV_OR(R, Pw, alph)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# Vary power:
Pw = np.arange(.1,1,.2)
ppvs = [PPV_OR(R, pw, alph, verbose = False) for pw in Pw]
xlabel = 'Power'
ylabel = 'PPV'
figure_title = 'With an odd ratio of {odd_ratio}'.format(odd_ratio=R)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# print
plot_ppv(Pw, ppvs, xlabel, ylabel, figure_title);
Then, let's vary odd ratio
## Solution
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# Vary odd ratio:
Pw = .5
alph = .05
odd_ratios = np.arange(.05,.5,.05)
ppvs = [PPV_OR(R, Pw, alph, verbose = False) for R in odd_ratios]
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# print
figure_title = 'With a power of {power}'.format(power=Pw)
xlabel = 'odd_ratios'
ylabel = 'PPV'
plot_ppv(odd_ratios, ppvs, xlabel, ylabel, figure_title);
Last, let's vary alpha, remember that p-hacking may give us large type I risk of errors
## Solution
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# Vary alpha:
Pw = .5
R = 1/5
alphas = np.arange(0, .2, 0.01)# [0.001, .005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1] #, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]
ppvs = [PPV_OR(R, Pw, alph, verbose = False) for alph in alphas]
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
# print
xlabel = 'alpha'
ylabel = 'PPV'
figure_title = 'With a power of {power} and odd ratio of {odd_ratio}'.format(
power=Pw, odd_ratio=R)
plot_ppv(alphas, ppvs, xlabel, ylabel, figure_title);
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
## This is also in a python notebook
The above discussed points can also be explored within this jupyter notebook
### How to work with the notebooks ?
There are two cases.
1. You do not really know python, and how to install the jupyter notebook. You can still read the notebook, skipping the code sections. The notebook will introduce some definitions, and then play with different settings. But the true benefit comes if you can install the jupyter project see here and actually play with the code, for instance changing the sample size or effect size to understand better what power is.
2. Download the notebook, and try to understand the concepts and the code. If the code is unclear, please make an issue on the repronim github site.
3. Run it interactively on binder.
## Key Points
• A significant (say at the 0.05 level) may have a low chance of replication.
• The PPV estimates the probability that the alternative hypothesis $$H_A$$ is true given that the test is significant at some $$\alpha$$ level.
• This probability depends on several factors such as power $$\beta$$, $$\alpha$$ level, but also the prior chance that $$H_A$$ is true. |

# How do you differentiate f(x)=(1+arctanx)/(2-3arctanx)?
Mar 24, 2017
$\frac{\mathrm{df} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} = \frac{5}{\left(1 + {x}^{2}\right) {\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right)}^{2}}$
#### Explanation:
Here we can use quotient rule.
Also note that derivative of $\arctan x$, which is also known as ${\tan}^{- 1} x$ is $\frac{1}{1 + {x}^{2}}$ i.e.
$\frac{d}{\mathrm{dx}} \arctan x = \frac{1}{1 + {x}^{2}}$
Now according to quotient rule if $f \left(x\right) = \frac{g \left(x\right)}{h \left(x\right)}$
then $\frac{\mathrm{df} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} = \frac{h \left(x\right) \cdot \frac{\mathrm{dg} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} - g \left(x\right) \cdot \frac{\mathrm{dh} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}}}{{\left(h \left(x\right)\right)}^{2}}$
Here $g \left(x\right) = 1 + \arctan x$ hence $\frac{\mathrm{dg} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} = \frac{1}{1 + {x}^{2}}$
and $h \left(x\right) = 2 - 3 \arctan x$ hence $\frac{\mathrm{dh} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} = - \frac{3}{1 + {x}^{2}}$
Hence
$\frac{\mathrm{df} \left(x\right)}{\mathrm{dx}} = \frac{\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + {x}^{2}} - \left(1 + \arctan x\right) \left(- \frac{3}{1 + {x}^{2}}\right)}{{\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right)}^{2}}$
= $\frac{\left(\frac{2}{1 + {x}^{2}} - \frac{3 \arctan x}{1 + {x}^{2}} + \frac{3}{1 + {x}^{2}} + \frac{3 \arctan x}{1 + {x}^{2}}\right)}{{\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right)}^{2}}$
= $\frac{\frac{5}{1 + {x}^{2}}}{{\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right)}^{2}}$
= $\frac{5}{\left(1 + {x}^{2}\right) {\left(2 - 3 \arctan x\right)}^{2}}$ |
# How do find the derivative of y = x^2 sinx?
Aug 5, 2015
$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} = 2 x \sin \left(x\right) + {x}^{2} \cos \left(x\right)$
#### Explanation:
You can use the product rule to find the derivative. The product rule says the following:
If $h \left(x\right) = f \left(x\right) g \left(x\right)$, then $h ' \left(x\right) = f ' \left(x\right) g \left(x\right) + f \left(x\right) g ' \left(x\right)$
In our case,
$h \left(x\right) = {x}^{2} \sin x$
$f \left(x\right) = {x}^{2}$
$g \left(x\right) = \sin x$
$f ' \left(x\right) = 2 x$
$g ' \left(x\right) = \cos x$
Plug in those values into our definition for the product rule to get
$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} = h ' \left(x\right) = 2 x \sin \left(x\right) + {x}^{2} \cos \left(x\right)$ |

STUDY TIP
A Preview of Calculus
• Understand what calculus is and how it compares with precalculus.
• Understand that the tangent line problem is basic to calculus.
• Understand that the area problem is also basic to calculus.
What Is Calculus?
Calculus is the mathematics of change—velocities and accelerations. Calculus is also
the mathematics of tangent lines, slopes, areas, volumes, arc lengths, centroids,
curvatures, and a variety of other concepts that have enabled scientists, engineers, and
economists to model real-life situations.
Although precalculus mathematics also deals with velocities, accelerations,
tangent lines, slopes, and so on, there is a fundamental difference between precalculus
mathematics and calculus. Precalculus mathematics is more static, whereas calculus
is more dynamic. Here are some examples.
• An object traveling at a constant velocity can be analyzed with precalculus
mathematics. To analyze the velocity of an accelerating object, you need calculus.
• The slope of a line can be analyzed with precalculus mathematics. To analyze the
slope of a curve, you need calculus.
• A tangent line to a circle can be analyzed with precalculus mathematics. To
analyze a tangent line to a general graph, you need calculus.
• The area of a rectangle can be analyzed with precalculus mathematics. To analyze
the area under a general curve, you need calculus.
Each of these situations involves the same general strategy—the reformulation of
precalculus mathematics through the use of a limit process. So, one way to answer the
question “What is calculus?” is to say that calculus is a “limit machine” that involves
three stages. The first stage is precalculus mathematics, such as the slope of a line or
the area of a rectangle. The second stage is the limit process, and the third stage is a
new calculus formulation, such as a derivative or integral.

Some students try to learn calculus as if it were simply a collection of new
formulas. This is unfortunate. If you reduce calculus to the memorization of differentiation and integration formulas, you will miss a great deal of understanding,
self-confidence, and satisfaction.
On the following two pages some familiar precalculus concepts coupled with
their calculus counterparts are listed. Throughout the text, your goal should be to learn
how precalculus formulas and techniques are used as building blocks to produce the
more general calculus formulas and techniques. Don’t worry if you are unfamiliar
with some of the “old formulas” listed on the following two pages—you will be
reviewing all of them.
As you proceed through this text, come back to this discussion repeatedly. Try to
keep track of where you are relative to the three stages involved in the study of
calculus. For example, the first three chapters break down as shown.

The notion of a limit is fundamental to the study of calculus. The following brief
descriptions of two classic problems in calculus—the tangent line problem and the
area problem—should give you some idea of the way limits are used in calculus.
In the tangent line problem, you are given a function f and a point P on its graph
and are asked to find an equation of the tangent line to the graph at point P, as shown
in Figure 1.1.
Except for cases involving a vertical tangent line, the problem of finding the
tangent line at a point P is equivalent to finding the slope of the tangent line at P. You
can approximate this slope by using a line through the point of tangency and a second
point on the curve, as shown in Figure 1.2(a). Such a line is called a secant line. If
P!c, f !c"" is the point of tangency and
Q!c " #x, f !c " #x""
is a second point on the graph of f, the slope of the secant line through these two
points is given by

As point Q approaches point P, the slope of the secant line approaches the slope
of the tangent line, as shown in Figure 1.2(b). When such a “limiting position” exists,
the slope of the tangent line is said to be the limit of the slope of the secant line.

Each successive point gets closer to the point P!1, 1". Find the slope of the secant
line through Q1 and P, Q2 and P, and so on. Graph these secant lines on a graphing utility. Then use your results to estimate the slope of the tangent line to the
graph of f at the point P.

The Area Problem
y

a
b
In the tangent line problem, you saw how the limit process can be applied to the slope
of a line to find the slope of a general curve. A second classic problem in calculus is
finding the area of a plane region that is bounded by the graphs of functions. This
problem can also be solved with a limit process. In this case, the limit process is
applied to the area of a rectangle to find the area of a general region.
As a simple example, consider the region bounded by the graph of the function
y ! f !x", the x-axis, and the vertical lines x ! a and x ! b, as shown in Figure 1.3.
You can approximate the area of the region with several rectangular regions, as shown
in Figure 1.4. As you increase the number of rectangles, the approximation tends
to become better and better because the amount of area missed by the rectangles
decreases. Your goal is to determine the limit of the sum of the areas of the rectangles
as the number of rectangles increases without bound.

Suppose you are asked to sketch the graph of the function f given by
f !x" !
x " 1.
For all values other than x ! 1, you can use standard curve-sketching techniques.
However, at x ! 1, it is not clear what to expect. To get an idea of the behavior of the
graph of f near x ! 1, you can use two sets of x-values—one set that approaches 1
from the left and one set that approaches 1 from the right, as shown in the table.

The

f !x" approaches 3.
Animation
The graph of f is a parabola that has a gap at the point !1, 3", as shown in Figure
1.5. Although x cannot equal 1, you can move arbitrarily close to 1, and as a result
f !x" moves arbitrarily close to 3. Using limit notation, you can write
lim f !x" ! 3.
Animation
This is read as “the limit of f !x" as x approaches 1 is 3.”
x→1
This discussion leads to an informal description of a limit. If f !x" becomes arbitrarily
close to a single number L as x approaches c from either side, the limit of f !x", as x
approaches c, is L. This limit is written as
lim f !x" ! L.

Exploration B
In Example 1, note that the function is undefined at x ! 0 and yet f (x) appears to
be approaching a limit as x approaches 0. This often happens, and it is important to
realize that the existence or nonexistence of f !x" at x ! c has no bearing on the
existence of the limit of f !x" as x approaches c.

Find the limit of f !x" as x approaches 2 where f is defined as

Common Types of Behavior Associated with Nonexistence of a Limit
1. f !x" approaches a different number from the right side of c than it approaches
from the left side.
2. f !x" increases or decreases without bound as x approaches c.
3. f !x" oscillates between two fixed values as x approaches c.
There are many other interesting functions that have unusual limit behavior. An
often cited one is the Dirichlet function
0, if x is rational.
f !x" !
1, if x is irrational.
%
Because this function has no limit at any real number c, it is not continuous at any real
number c. You will study continuity more closely in Section 1.4.
TECHNOLOGY PITFALL When you use a graphing utility to investigate the
behavior of a function near the x-value at which you are trying to evaluate a limit,
remember that you can’t always trust the pictures that graphing utilities draw. If you
use a graphing utility to graph the function in Example 5 over an interval containing
0, you will most likely obtain an incorrect graph such as that shown in Figure 1.11.
The reason that a graphing utility can’t show the correct graph is that the graph has
infinitely many oscillations over any interval that contains 0.
1.2
PETER GUSTAV DIRICHLET (1805–1859)
.
In the early development of calculus, the
definition of a function was much more
restricted than it is today, and “functions”
such as the Dirichlet function would not
have been considered. The modern definition
of function was given by the German
mathematician Peter Gustav Dirichlet.

CHAPTER 1
Limits and Their Properties
A Formal Definition of Limit
Let’s take another look at the informal description of a limit. If f !x" becomes
arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches c from either side, then the limit
of f !x" as x approaches c is L, written as
lim f !x" ! L.
x→c
At first glance, this description looks fairly technical. Even so, it is informal because
exact meanings have not yet been given to the two phrases
“ f !x" becomes arbitrarily close to L”
and
“x approaches c.”
The first person to assign mathematically rigorous meanings to these two phrases was
Augustin-Louis Cauchy. His ' -% definition of limit is the standard used today.
In Figure 1.12, let ' (the lowercase Greek letter epsilon) represent a (small)
positive number. Then the phrase “f !x" becomes arbitrarily close to L” means that f !x"
lies in the interval !L # ', L \$ '". Using absolute value, you can write this as
L +ε
L
(c, L)
( f !x" # L( < '.
L−ε
Similarly, the phrase “x approaches c” means that there exists a positive number %
such that x lies in either the interval !c # %, c" or the interval !c, c \$ %". This fact can
be concisely expressed by the double inequality
c +δ
c
c−δ

expresses the fact that x " c. The second inequality
(x # c( < %
x is within % units of c.
says that x is within a distance % of c.
Definition of Limit
Let f be a function defined on an open interval containing c (except possibly at
c) and let L be a real number. The statement
lim f !x" ! L
x→c
means that for each ' > 0 there exists a % > 0 such that if
(
(
0 < x # c < %,
then
( f !x" # L( < '.

NOTE Throughout this text, the expression
lim f !x" ! L
x→c
implies two statements—the limit exists and the limit is L.
Some functions do not have limits as x → c, but those that do cannot have two
different limits as x → c. That is, if the limit of a function exists, it is unique (see
Exercise 69).

NOTE In Example 6, note that 0.005 is the largest value of % that will guarantee
!2x # 5" # 1 < 0.01 whenever 0 < x # 3 < %. Any smaller positive value of % would
also work.

In Example 6, you found a %-value for a given '. This does not prove the existence
of the limit. To do that, you must prove that you can find a % for any ', as shown in
the next example.

THE SQUARE ROOT SYMBOL
The first use of a symbol to denote the square
root can be traced to the sixteenth century.
Mathematicians first used the symbol ) ,
which had only two strokes. This symbol was
chosen because it resembled a lowercase r, to

of this theorem.

A Strategy for Finding Limits
On the previous three pages, you studied several types of functions whose limits can
be evaluated by direct substitution. This knowledge, together with the following
theorem, can be used to develop a strategy for finding limits. A proof of this theorem

So, for all x-values other than x ! 1, the functions f and g agree, as shown in Figure
1.17. Because lim g"x# exists, you can apply Theorem 1.7 to conclude that f and g

A Strategy for Finding Limits
1. Learn to recognize which limits can be evaluated by direct substitution.
(These limits are listed in Theorems 1.1 through 1.6.)
2. If the limit of f "x# as x approaches c cannot be evaluated by direct substitution, try to find a function g that agrees with f for all x other than x ! c.
[Choose g such that the limit of g"x# can be evaluated by direct substitution.]
3. Apply Theorem 1.7 to conclude analytically that
lim f "x# ! lim g"x# ! g"c#.

4. Use a graph or table to reinforce your conclusion.

Dividing Out and Rationalizing Techniques
Two techniques for finding limits analytically are shown in Examples 7 and 8. The
first technique involves dividing out common factors, and the second technique
involves rationalizing the numerator of a fractional expression.

a common factor of "x & 3#. So, for all x % "3, you can divide out this factor
to obtain

NOTE In the solution of Example 7,
. be sure you see the usefulness of the
Factor Theorem of Algebra. This
theorem states that if c is a zero of a
polynomial function, "x " c# is a factor
of the polynomial. So, if you apply
direct substitution to a rational function
and obtain
r "c# !
p"c# 0

you can conclude that "x " c# must be a
common factor to both p"x# and q"x#.

In Example 7, direct substitution produced the meaningless fractional form 0(0.
An expression such as 0(0 is called an indeterminate form because you cannot (from
the form alone) determine the limit. When you try to evaluate a limit and encounter
this form, remember that you must rewrite the fraction so that the new denominator
does not have 0 as its limit. One way to do this is to divide out like factors, as shown
in Example 7. A second way is to rationalize the numerator, as shown in Example 8.

and
Because the graphs of
g"x# ! x " 2
differ only at the point ""3, "5#, a standard graphing utility setting may not distinguish clearly between these graphs. However, because of the pixel configuration
and rounding error of a graphing utility, it may be possible to find screen settings
that distinguish between the graphs. Specifically, by repeatedly zooming in near
the point ""3, "5# on the graph of f, your graphing utility may show glitches or
irregularities that do not exist on the actual graph. (See Figure 1.19.) By changing
the screen settings on your graphing utility you may obtain the correct graph of f.

with a pencil without lifting the

In mathematics, the term continuous has much the same meaning as it has in everyday
usage. Informally, to say that a function f is continuous at x ! c means that there is
no interruption in the graph of f at c. That is, its graph is unbroken at c and there
are no holes, jumps, or gaps. Figure 1.25 identifies three values of x at which the graph
of f is not continuous. At all other points in the interval !a, b", the graph of f is
uninterrupted and continuous.

If none of the above three conditions is true, the function f is called continuous at c,

Consider an open interval I that contains a real number c. If a function f is
defined on I (except possibly at c), and f is not continuous at c, then f is said to have
a discontinuity at c. Discontinuities fall into two categories: removable and
nonremovable. A discontinuity at c is called removable if f can be made continuous
by appropriately defining (or redefining) f !c". For instance, the functions shown in
Figure 1.26(a) and (c) have removable discontinuities at c and the function shown in
Figure 1.26(b) has a nonremovable discontinuity at c.

f !0" so as to make the function continuous at x ! 0.
b. The domain of g is all real numbers except x ! 1. From Theorem 1.3, you can
conclude that g is continuous at every x-value in its domain. At x ! 1, the function
has a removable discontinuity, as shown in Figure 1.27(b). If g!1" is defined as 2,
the “newly defined” function is continuous for all real numbers.

CHAPTER 1
Limits and Their Properties
One-Sided Limits and Continuity on a Closed Interval
y
To understand continuity on a closed interval, you first need to look at a different type
of limit called a one-sided limit. For example, the limit from the right means that x
approaches c from values greater than c [see Figure 1.28(a)]. This limit is denoted as
x approaches
c from the right.
x

[see Figure 1.28(b)]. This limit is denoted as

When the limit from the left is not equal to the limit from the right, the (twosided) limit does not exist. The next theorem makes this more explicit. The proof of
this theorem follows directly from the definition of a one-sided limit.
THEOREM 1.10
The Existence of a Limit
Let f be a function and let c and L be real numbers. The limit of f !x" as x
approaches c is L if and only if
lim f !x" ! L
x→c"
and
lim f !x" ! L.
x→c\$
The concept of a one-sided limit allows you to extend the definition of continuity
to closed intervals. Basically, a function is continuous on a closed interval if it is
continuous in the interior of the interval and exhibits one-sided continuity at the
endpoints. This is stated formally as follows.

Similar definitions can be made to cover continuity on intervals of the form !a, b*
and )a, b" that are neither open nor closed, or on infinite intervals. For example, the
function
f !x" ! (x
is continuous on the infinite interval )0, #", and the function
g!x" ! (2 " x

CHAPTER 1
Limits and Their Properties
The next example shows how a one-sided limit can be used to determine the value
of absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
EXAMPLE 5
Charles’s Law and Absolute Zero
On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is the temperature 0 K. Although temperatures of
approximately 0.0001 K have been produced in laboratories, absolute zero has never
been attained. In fact, evidence suggests that absolute zero cannot be attained. How
did scientists determine that 0 K is the “lower limit” of the temperature of matter?
What is absolute zero on the Celsius scale?
V
Solution The determination of absolute zero stems from the work of the French
physicist Jacques Charles (1746–1823). Charles discovered that the volume of gas at
a constant pressure increases linearly with the temperature of the gas. The table
illustrates this relationship between volume and temperature. In the table, one mole of
hydrogen is held at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. The volume V is measured
in liters and the temperature T is measured in degrees Celsius.

The points represented by the table are shown in Figure 1.33. Moreover, by using the
points in the table, you can determine that T and V are related by the linear equation
or

The following table shows the temperatures in Example 5, converted to the
Fahrenheit scale. Try repeating the solution shown in Example 5 using these temperatures
and volumes. Use the result to find the value of absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale.
In 1995, physicists Carl Wieman and
Eric Cornell of the University of
Colorado at Boulder used lasers and
evaporation to produce a supercold gas
in which atoms overlap. This gas is called
a Bose-Einstein condensate. “We get to
within a billionth of a degree of absolute
zero,”reported Wieman. (Source: Time

The concept of a continuous function was
first introduced by Augustin-Louis Cauchy in
1821. The definition given in his text Cours
d’Analyse stated that indefinite small changes
in y were the result of indefinite small changes
in x. “… f !x" will be called a continuous
function if … the numerical values of the
difference f !x \$ ( " " f !x" decrease
indefinitely with those of ( ….”

Properties of Continuity
In Section 1.3, you studied several properties of limits. Each of those properties yields
a corresponding property pertaining to the continuity of a function. For instance,
Theorem 1.11 follows directly from Theorem 1.2.

If b is a real number and f and g are continuous at x ! c, then the following
functions are also continuous at c.

b. Because y ! 1-x is continuous except at x ! 0 and the sine function is continuous
for all real values of x, it follows that y ! sin !1-x" is continuous at all real values
except x ! 0. At x ! 0, the limit of g!x" does not exist (see Example 5, Section

The Intermediate Value Theorem
Theorem 1.13 is an important theorem concerning the behavior of functions that are
continuous on a closed interval.
THEOREM 1.13
Intermediate Value Theorem
If f is continuous on the closed interval )a, b* and k is any number between
f !a" and f !b), then there is at least one number c in )a, b* such that
.
f !c" ! k.
Video
NOTE The Intermediate Value Theorem tells you that at least one c exists, but it does not give
a method for finding c. Such theorems are called existence theorems.
By referring to a text on advanced calculus, you will find that a proof of this
theorem is based on a property of real numbers called completeness. The Intermediate
Value Theorem states that for a continuous function f, if x takes on all values between
a and b, f !x" must take on all values between f !a" and f !b".
As a simple example of this theorem, consider a person’s height. Suppose that a
girl is 5 feet tall on her thirteenth birthday and 5 feet 7 inches tall on her fourteenth
birthday. Then, for any height h between 5 feet and 5 feet 7 inches, there must have
been a time t when her height was exactly h. This seems reasonable because human
growth is continuous and a person’s height does not abruptly change from one value
to another.
The Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees the existence of at least one number
c in the closed interval )a, b*. There may, of course, be more than one number c such
that f !c" ! k, as shown in Figure 1.35. A function that is not continuous does not
necessarily exhibit the intermediate value property. For example, the graph of the
function shown in Figure 1.36 jumps over the horizontal line given by y ! k, and for
this function there is no value of c in )a, b* such that f !c" ! k.

The Intermediate Value Theorem often can be used to locate the zeros of a
function that is continuous on a closed interval. Specifically, if f is continuous on
)a, b* and f !a" and f !b" differ in sign, the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees the
existence of at least one zero of f in the closed interval )a, b*.

An Application of the Intermediate Value Theorem
Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that the polynomial function
f !x" ! x 3 \$ 2x " 1 has a zero in the interval )0, 1*.

EXAMPLE 8
Solution Note that f is continuous on the closed interval )0, 1*. Because
f !0" ! 0 3 \$ 2!0" " 1 ! "1 and
1
f !1" ! 13 \$ 2!1" " 1 ! 2
it follows that f !0" < 0 and f !1" > 0. You can therefore apply the Intermediate Value
Theorem to conclude that there must be some c in )0, 1* such that

The bisection method for approximating the real zeros of a continuous function
is similar to the method used in Example 8. If you know that a zero exists in the closed
interval )a, b*, the zero must lie in the interval )a, !a \$ b"-2* or )!a \$ b"-2, b*. From
the sign of f !)a \$ b*-2", you can determine which interval contains the zero. By
repeatedly bisecting the interval, you can “close in” on the zero of the function.
You can also use the zoom feature of a graphing utility to
approximate the real zeros of a continuous function. By repeatedly zooming in on
the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and adjusting the x-axis scale, you can
approximate the zero of the function to any desired accuracy. The zero of
x3 \$ 2x " 1 is approximately 0.453, as shown in Figure 1.38.

Definition of Infinite Limits
Let f be a function that is defined at every real number in some open interval
containing c (except possibly at c itself). The statement
lim f !x" ! "
x→c
means that for each M > 0 there exists a % > 0 such that f !x" > M whenever
0 < x \$ c < % (see Figure 1.40). Similarly, the statement
%
y
lim f !x" ! \$ "
x→c
lim f (x) = ∞
means that for each N < 0 there exists a % > 0 such that f !x" < N whenever

Vertical Asymptotes
If it were possible to extend the graphs in Figure 1.41 toward positive and negative
infinity, you would see that each graph becomes arbitrarily close to the vertical line
x ! 1. This line is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. (You will study other types
of asymptotes in Sections 3.5 and 3.6.)
NOTE If the graph of a function f has
a vertical asymptote at x ! c, then f is
not continuous at c.
Definition of Vertical Asymptote
If f !x" approaches infinity (or negative infinity) as x approaches c from the
right or the left, then the line x ! c is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f.
SECTION 1.5
Infinite Limits
85
In Example 1, note that each of the functions is a quotient and that the vertical
asymptote occurs at a number where the denominator is 0 (and the numerator is not
0). The next theorem generalizes this observation. (A proof of this theorem is given in
Appendix A.)
THEOREM 1.14
Vertical Asymptotes
Let f and g be continuous on an open interval containing c. If f !c" ' 0,
g!c" ! 0, and there exists an open interval containing c such that g!x" ' 0 for
all x ' c in the interval, then the graph of the function given by
h !x" !

has a vertical asymptote at x ! c.

numerator is not 0 at these two points, you can apply Theorem 1.14 to conclude
that the graph of f has two vertical asymptotes, as shown in Figure 1.42(b).

you can apply Theorem 1.14 to conclude that vertical asymptotes occur at all values

occur when x ! n&, where n is an integer.

Theorem 1.14 requires that the value of the numerator at x ! c be nonzero. If
both the numerator and the denominator are 0 at x ! c, you obtain the indeterminate
form 0&0, and you cannot determine the limit behavior at x ! c without further
investigation, as illustrated in Example 3.

Proof To show that the limit of f !x" # g!x" is infinite, choose M > 0. You then need
to find % > 0 such that

whenever 0 < x \$ c < %. For simplicity’s sake, you can assume L is positive. Let
M1 ! M # 1. Because the limit of f !x" is infinite, there exists %1 such that f !x" > M1
whenever 0 < x \$ c < %1. Also, because the limit of g!x" is L, there exists % 2 such
that g!x" \$ L < 1 whenever 0 < x \$ c < %2. By letting % be the smaller of %1 and
% 2, you can conclude that 0 < x \$ c < % implies f !x" > M # 1 and
g!x" \$ L < 1. The second of these two inequalities implies that g!x" > L \$ 1, and,
adding this to the first inequality, you can write

The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem
• Find the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a point.
• Use the limit definition to find the derivative of a function.
• Understand the relationship between differentiability and continuity.
ISAAC NEWTON (1642–1727)
In addition to his work in calculus, Newton
including the Law of Universal Gravitation
.and his three laws of motion.
The Tangent Line Problem
Calculus grew out of four major problems that European mathematicians were working on during the seventeenth century.

The tangent line problem (Section 1.1 and this section)
The velocity and acceleration problem (Sections 2.2 and 2.3)
The minimum and maximum problem (Section 3.1)
The area problem (Sections 1.1 and 4.2)
Each problem involves the notion of a limit, and calculus can be introduced with any
of the four problems.
A brief introduction to the tangent line problem is given in Section 1.1. Although
partial solutions to this problem were given by Pierre de Fermat (1601–1665), René
Descartes (1596–1650), Christian Huygens (1629–1695), and Isaac Barrow
(1630 –1677), credit for the first general solution is usually given to Isaac Newton
(1642–1727) and Gottfried Leibniz (1646–1716). Newton’s work on this problem
stemmed from his interest in optics and light refraction.
What does it mean to say that a line is tangent to a curve at a point? For a circle,
the tangent line at a point P is the line that is perpendicular to the radial line at point
P, as shown in Figure 2.1.
For a general curve, however, the problem is more difficult. For example, how
would you define the tangent lines shown in Figure 2.2? You might say that a line is
tangent to a curve at a point P if it touches, but does not cross, the curve at point P.
This definition would work for the first curve shown in Figure 2.2, but not for the
second. Or you might say that a line is tangent to a curve if the line touches or
intersects the curve at exactly one point. This definition would work for a circle but
not for more general curves, as the third curve in Figure 2.2 shows.

The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem
97
Essentially, the problem of finding the tangent line at a point P boils down to the
problem of finding the slope of the tangent line at point P. You can approximate this
slope using a secant line* through the point of tangency and a second point on the
curve, as shown in Figure 2.3. If !c, f !c"" is the point of tangency and
!c # \$ x, f !c # \$ x"" is a second point on the graph of f, the slope of the secant line
through the two points is given by substitution into the slope formula

Change in x
Slope of secant line
The right-hand side of this equation is a difference quotient. The denominator \$x is
the change in x, and the numerator \$y " f !c # \$x" ! f !c" is the change in y.
The beauty of this procedure is that you can obtain more and more accurate
approximations of the slope of the tangent line by choosing points closer and closer
to the point of tangency, as shown in Figure 2.4.
THE TANGENT LINE PROBLEM
In 1637, mathematician René Descartes stated
this about the tangent line problem:
“And I dare say that this is not only the most
useful and general problem in geometry that
I know, but even that I ever desire to know.”

limits from the right !for x " a" and from the left !for x " b".
The Derivative of a Function
You have now arrived at a crucial point in the study of calculus. The limit used to
define the slope of a tangent line is also used to define one of the two fundamental
operations of calculus—differentiation.

Be sure you see that the derivative of a function of x is also a function of x. This
“new” function gives the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point
!x, f !x"", provided that the graph has a tangent line at this point.
The process of finding the derivative of a function is called differentiation. A
function is differentiable at x if its derivative exists at x and is differentiable on an
open interval &a, b' if it is differentiable at every point in the interval.
In addition to f%!x", which is read as “ f prime of x,” other notations are used to
denote the derivative of y " f !x". The most common are
f%!x",
dy
,
dx
y%,
d
# f !x"\$,
dx
Dx # y\$.
Notation for derivatives
The notation dy%dx is read as “the derivative of y with respect to x” or simply
“dy ! dx”. Using limit notation, you can write
dy

Differentiability and Continuity

relationship between differentiability and continuity. The derivative of f at c is

As x approaches c, the secant line approaches
the tangent line.

Alternative form of derivative
provided this limit exists (see Figure 2.10). (A proof of the equivalence of this form
is given in Appendix A.) Note that the existence of the limit in this alternative form
requires that the one-sided limits

x!c
f !x" ! f !c"

and
lim

exist and are equal. These one-sided limits are called the derivatives from the left
and from the right, respectively. It follows that f is differentiable on the closed
interval [a, b] if it is differentiable on !a, b" and if the derivative from the right at a
and the derivative from the left at b both exist.

Although it is true that differentiability implies continuity (as shown in Theorem 2.1

THEOREM 2.1
The Derivative and the Tangent Line Problem
103
Differentiability Implies Continuity
If f is differentiable at x " c, then f is continuous at x " c.
Proof You can prove that f is continuous at x " c by showing that f !x" approaches
f !c" as x → c. To do this, use the differentiability of f at x " c and consider the
following limit.
) f !xx" !! cf !c"*0
f !x" ! f !c"
" / lim !x ! c"0/ lim
x!c 0
/
lim # f !x" ! f !c"\$ " lim !x ! c"
where \$x is a small number such as
0.001. Can you see any problems with
this definition? For instance, using this
definition, what is the value of the
derivative of f !x" " x when x " 0?
x→c
x→c
x→c
,,
x→c
" !0"# f %!c"\$
"0
Because the difference f !x" ! f !c" approaches zero as x → c, you can conclude that
lim f !x" " f !c". So, f is continuous at x " c.
x→c
The following statements summarize the relationship between continuity and
differentiability.
1. If a function is differentiable at x " c, then it is continuous at x " c. So, differentiability implies continuity.
2. It is possible for a function to be continuous at x " c and not be differentiable at
x " c. So, continuity does not imply differentiability.

The Power Rule
Before proving the next rule, it is important to review the procedure for expanding a
binomial.
!x & %x" 2 " x 2 & 2x%x & !%x" 2
!x & %x" 3 " x 3 & 3x 2%x & 3x!%x"2 & !%x"3
The general binomial expansion for a positive integer n is
!x & %x" n " x n & nx n\$1 !%x" &
n!n \$ 1"x n\$2
!%x" 2 & . . . & !%x" n.
2
!%x"2 is a factor of these terms.
This binomial expansion is used in proving a special case of the Power Rule.
THEOREM 2.3
The Power Rule
If n is a rational number, then the function f !x" " x n is differentiable and
d n
#x \$ " nx n\$1.
dx
For f to be differentiable at x " 0, n must be a number such that x n\$1 is
defined on an interval containing 0.
Proof
If n is a positive integer greater than 1, then the binomial expansion produces
d n
!x & %x"n \$ x n
#x \$ " lim

This proves the case for which n is a positive integer greater than 1. You will prove the
case for n " 1. Example 7 in Section 2.3 proves the case for which n is a negative
integer. In Exercise 75 in Section 2.5 you are asked to prove the case for which n is
rational. (In Section 5.5, the Power Rule will be extended to cover irrational

Basic Differentiation Rules and Rates of Change
113
Rates of Change
You have seen how the derivative is used to determine slope. The derivative can also be
used to determine the rate of change of one variable with respect to another. Applications
involving rates of change occur in a wide variety of fields. A few examples are
population growth rates, production rates, water flow rates, velocity, and acceleration.
A common use for rate of change is to describe the motion of an object moving
in a straight line. In such problems, it is customary to use either a horizontal or a
vertical line with a designated origin to represent the line of motion. On such lines,
movement to the right (or upward) is considered to be in the positive direction, and
movement to the left (or downward) is considered to be in the negative direction.
The function s that gives the position (relative to the origin) of an object as a
function of time t is called a position function. If, over a period of time %t, the object
changes its position by the amount %s " s!t & %t" \$ s!t", then, by the familiar
formula

Suppose that in Example 9 you wanted to find the instantaneous velocity (or
simply the velocity) of the object when t " 1. Just as you can approximate the slope
of the tangent line by calculating the slope of the secant line, you can approximate the
velocity at t " 1 by calculating the average velocity over a small interval #1, 1 & %t\$
(see Figure 2.20). By taking the limit as %t approaches zero, you obtain the velocity
when t " 1. Try doing this—you will find that the velocity when t " 1 is \$32 feet

In other words, the velocity function is the derivative of the position function. Velocity

Find the derivative of a trigonometric function.
Find a higher-order derivative of a function.
The Product Rule
In Section 2.2 you learned that the derivative of the sum of two functions is simply
the sum of their derivatives. The rules for the derivatives of the product and quotient
of two functions are not as simple.
THEOREM 2.7
NOTE A version of the Product Rule
that some people prefer is
d
# f !x"g !x"\$ ! f\$ !x"g!x" " f !x"g\$!x".
dx
.
The advantage of this form is that it
generalizes easily to products involving
three or more factors.
The Product Rule
The product of two differentiable functions f and g is itself differentiable.
Moreover, the derivative of fg is the first function times the derivative of the
second, plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
d
# f !x"g!x"\$ ! f !x"g\$!x" " g!x" f\$!x"

Proof Some mathematical proofs, such as the proof of the Sum Rule, are straightforward. Others involve clever steps that may appear unmotivated to a reader. This
proof involves such a step—subtracting and adding the same quantity—which is
shown in color.

THE PRODUCT RULE
When Leibniz originally wrote a formula for
the Product Rule, he was motivated by the
expression
!x " dx"! y " dy" # xy
from which he subtracted dx dy (as being
negligible) and obtained the differential form
x dy " y dx. This derivation resulted in the
traditional form of the Product Rule.
(Source:The History of Mathematics by David
M. Burton)
&
&
%
&
Note that lim f !x " %x" ! f !x" because f is given to be differentiable and therefore
%x→ 0
is continuous.
The Product Rule can be extended to cover products involving more than two
factors. For example, if f, g, and h are differentiable functions of x, then
d
# f !x"g!x"h!x"\$ ! f\$!x"g!x"h!x" " f !x"g\$!x"h!x" " f !x"g!x"h\$!x".
dx
For instance, the derivative of y ! x2 sin x cos x is
dy
! 2x sin x cos x " x2 cos x cos x " x2 sin x!#sin x"
dx
! 2x sin x cos x " x2!cos2x # sin2x".

CHAPTER 2
Differentiation
The derivative of a product of two functions is not (in general) given by the product
of the derivatives of the two functions. To see this, try comparing the product of the
derivatives of f !x" ! 3x # 2x 2 and g!x" ! 5 " 4x with the derivative in Example 1.

TECHNOLOGY A graphing
utility can be used to compare the
graph of a function with the graph
of its derivative. For instance, in
Figure 2.22, the graph of the function
in Example 4 appears to have two
points that have horizontal tangent

CHAPTER 2
Differentiation
Note the use of parentheses in Example 4. A liberal use of parentheses is recommended for all types of differentiation problems. For instance, with the Quotient Rule,
it is a good idea to enclose all factors and derivatives in parentheses, and to pay special
attention to the subtraction required in the numerator.
When differentiation rules were introduced in the preceding section, the need for
rewriting before differentiating was emphasized. The next example illustrates this
point with the Quotient Rule.

Not every quotient needs to be differentiated by the Quotient Rule. For example,
each quotient in the next example can be considered as the product of a constant times
a function of x. In such cases it is more convenient to use the Constant Multiple Rule.

In Section 2.2, the Power Rule was proved only for the case where the exponent
n is a positive integer greater than 1. The next example extends the proof to include
negative integer exponents.
EXAMPLE 7
Proof of the Power Rule (Negative Integer Exponents)
If n is a negative integer, there exists a positive integer k such that n ! #k. So, by the
Quotient Rule, you can write

Just as you can obtain a velocity function by differentiating a position function, you
can obtain an acceleration function by differentiating a velocity function. Another
way of looking at this is that you can obtain an acceleration function by differentiating
a position function twice.

Finding the Acceleration Due to Gravity
Because the moon has no atmosphere, a falling object on the moon encounters no air
resistance. In 1971, astronaut David Scott demonstrated that a feather and a hammer
fall at the same rate on the moon. The position function for each of these falling
objects is given by
s!t" ! #0.81t 2 " 2
where s!t" is the height in meters and t is the time in seconds. What is the ratio of
Earth’s gravitational force to the moon’s?
THE MOON
The moon’s mass is 7.349 ) 1022 kilograms,
and Earth’s mass is 5.976 ) 1024 kilograms.
The moon’s radius is 1737 kilometers, and
Earth’s radius is 6378 kilometers. Because the
gravitational force on the surface of a planet is
directly proportional to its mass and inversely
proportional to the square of its radius, the
ratio of the gravitational force on Earth to the
gravitational force on the moon is

The Chain Rule
This text has yet to discuss one of the most powerful differentiation rules—the Chain
Rule. This rule deals with composite functions and adds a surprising versatility to the
rules discussed in the two previous sections. For example, compare the functions
shown below. Those on the left can be differentiated without the Chain Rule, and those
on the right are best done with the Chain Rule.

y ! sin x
y ! \$x 2 # 1
y ! sin 6x
y ! 3x # 2
y ! x # tan x
y ! "3x # 2#5
y ! x # tan x2
Basically, the Chain Rule states that if y changes dy!du times as fast as u, and u
changes du!dx times as fast as x, then y changes "dy!du#"du!dx# times as fast as x.

A set of gears is constructed, as shown in Figure 2.24, such that the second and third
gears are on the same axle. As the first axle revolves, it drives the second axle, which in
turn drives the third axle. Let y, u, and x represent the numbers of revolutions per minute
of the first, second, and third axles. Find dy!du, du!dx, and dy!dx, and show that

The Chain Rule
131
Example 1 illustrates a simple case of the Chain Rule. The general rule is stated
below.
THEOREM 2.10
The Chain Rule
If y ! f "u# is a differentiable function of u and u ! g"x# is a differentiable
function of x, then y ! f "g"x## is a differentiable function of x and
dy
dy
!
dx du
du
" dx
or, equivalently,
d
' f "g"x##( ! f\$"g"x##g\$ "x#.
dx
Proof Let h"x# ! f "g"x##. Then, using the alternative form of the derivative, you
need to show that, for x ! c,
h\$"c# ! f\$"g"c##g\$"c#.
An important consideration in this proof is the behavior of g as x approaches c.
A problem occurs if there are values of x, other than c, such that g"x# ! g"c#.
Appendix A shows how to use the differentiability of f and g to overcome this
problem. For now, assume that g"x# ' g"c# for values of x other than c. In the proofs
of the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule, the same quantity was added and subtracted to obtain the desired form. This proof uses a similar technique—multiplying
and dividing by the same (nonzero) quantity. Note that because g is differentiable, it
is also continuous, and it follows that g"x# → g"c# as x → c.
f "g"x## & f "g"c##

When applying the Chain Rule, it is helpful to think of the composite function
f % g as having two parts—an inner part and an outer part.
Outer function
y ! f "g"x## ! f "u#
Inner function
The derivative of y ! f "u# is the derivative of the outer function (at the inner function
u) times the derivative of the inner function.

Implicit Differentiation
• Distinguish between functions written in implicit form and explicit form.
• Use implicit differentiation to find the derivative of a function.

Graphing an Implicit Equation
How could you use a graphing utility
to sketch the graph of the equation
2
x \$
2y 3
" 4y ! 2?
Here are two possible approaches.
a. Solve the equation for x. Switch
the roles of x and y and graph
the two resulting equations. The
combined graphs will show a
90% rotation of the graph of the
original equation.
b. Set the graphing utility to
parametric mode and graph the
equations
x ! \$ (2t 3 \$ 4t " 2
y!t
and
x ! (2t 3 \$ 4t " 2
y ! t.
.
From either of these two approaches,
can you decide whether the graph
has a tangent line at the point #0, 1\$?
Implicit and Explicit Functions
Up to this point in the text, most functions have been expressed in explicit form. For
example, in the equation
y ! 3x 2 \$ 5
Explicit form
the variable y is explicitly written as a function of x. Some functions, however, are
only implied by an equation. For instance, the function y ! 1'x is defined implicitly
by the equation xy ! 1. Suppose you were asked to find dy'dx for this equation. You
could begin by writing y explicitly as a function of x and then differentiating.
Implicit Form
Explicit Form
xy ! 1
y!
1
! x\$1

Derivative
dy

! \$x\$2 ! \$ 2
dx
x
This strategy works whenever you can solve for the function explicitly. You cannot,
however, use this procedure when you are unable to solve for y as a function of x. For
instance, how would you find dy'dx for the equation
x 2 \$ 2y 3 " 4y ! 2
where it is very difficult to express y as a function of x explicitly? To do this, you can
use implicit differentiation.
To understand how to find dy'dx implicitly, you must realize that the differentiation is taking place with respect to x. This means that when you differentiate terms
involving x alone, you can differentiate as usual. However, when you differentiate
terms involving y, you must apply the Chain Rule, because you are assuming that y is
defined implicitly as a differentiable function of x.

Guidelines for Implicit Differentiation
1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
2. Collect all terms involving dy'dx on the left side of the equation and move all
other terms to the right side of the equation.
3. Factor dy'dx out of the left side of the equation.
4. Solve for dy'dx.

To see how you can use an implicit derivative, consider the graph shown in Figure
2.27. From the graph, you can see that y is not a function of x. Even so, the derivative
found in Example 2 gives a formula for the slope of the tangent line at a point on this
graph. The slopes at several points on the graph are shown below the graph.
With most graphing utilities, it is easy to graph an equation
that explicitly represents y as a function of x. Graphing other equations, however,

It is meaningless to solve for dy'dx in an equation that has no solution points.
(For example, x 2 " y 2 ! \$4 has no solution points.) If, however, a segment of a
graph can be represented by a differentiable function, dy'dx will have meaning as the
slope at each point on the segment. Recall that a function is not differentiable at (a)
points with vertical tangents and (b) points at which the function is not continuous.

Substituting the known values of the
variables before differentiating will
produce an inappropriate derivative.
1. Identify all given quantities and quantities to be determined. Make a sketch
and label the quantities.
2. Write an equation involving the variables whose rates of change either are
given or are to be determined.
3. Using the Chain Rule, implicitly differentiate both sides of the equation with
respect to time t.
4. After completing Step 3, substitute into the resulting equation all known
values for the variables and their rates of change. Then solve for the required
rate of change.

Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon (see Figure 2.35) at a rate of 4.5 cubic
feet per minute. Find the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 2 feet.
Solution Let V be the volume of the balloon and let r be its radius. Because the
volume is increasing at a rate of 4.5 cubic feet per minute, you know that at time t the
rate of change of the volume is dV#dt ! 92. So, the problem can be stated as shown.

In Example 3, note that the volume is increasing at a constant rate but the radius
is increasing at a variable rate. Just because two rates are related does not mean that
they are proportional. In this particular case, the radius is growing more and more
slowly as t increases. Do you see why?

# How do you simplify \frac { - 3m ^ { 5} n ^ { 4} } { 2m ^ { - 6} n ^ { 0} }?
Jan 20, 2018
See a solution process below:
#### Explanation:
First, rewrite the expression as:
$\left(- \frac{3}{2}\right) \left({m}^{5} / {m}^{-} 6\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right) \implies - \frac{3}{2} \left({m}^{5} / {m}^{-} 6\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right)$
Next, use this rule of exponents to simplify the $m$ term:
${x}^{\textcolor{red}{a}} / {x}^{\textcolor{b l u e}{b}} = {x}^{\textcolor{red}{a} - \textcolor{b l u e}{b}}$
$- \frac{3}{2} \left({m}^{\textcolor{red}{5}} / {m}^{\textcolor{b l u e}{- 6}}\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right) \implies$
$- \frac{3}{2} \left({m}^{\textcolor{red}{5} - \textcolor{b l u e}{- 6}}\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right) \implies$
$- \frac{3}{2} \left({m}^{\textcolor{red}{5} + \textcolor{b l u e}{6}}\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right) \implies$
$- \frac{3}{2} \left({m}^{11}\right) \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right) \implies$
$\frac{- 3 {m}^{11}}{2} \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{0}\right)$
Now, use this rule of exponents to simplify the $n$ term:
${a}^{\textcolor{red}{0}} = 1$
$\frac{- 3 {m}^{11}}{2} \left({n}^{4} / {n}^{\textcolor{red}{0}}\right) \implies$
$\frac{- 3 {m}^{11}}{2} \left({n}^{4} / 1\right) \implies$
$\frac{- 3 {m}^{11}}{2} \left({n}^{4}\right) \implies$
$\frac{- 3 {m}^{11} {n}^{4}}{2}$ |

Let $\mathbf{e}_1, \mathbf{e}_2, \mathbf{e}_3$, and $\mathbf{e}_4$ be the standard 4-dimensional unit basis vectors for $\R^4$.
Then the matrix representation for the linear transformation is given by the formula
$A:=\begin{bmatrix} T(\mathbf{e}_1) \quad T(\mathbf{e}_2) \quad T(\mathbf{e}_3)\quad T(\mathbf{e}_4) \end{bmatrix}.$ Then we calculate
\begin{align*}
T(\mathbf{e}_1)=T \left(\,\begin{bmatrix} 1\\0\\0\\0 \end{bmatrix} \, \right)
=\begin{bmatrix}
1\\3\\1
\end{bmatrix}.
\end{align*}
Similarly, we compute and obtain
$T(\mathbf{e}_2) =\begin{bmatrix} 2\\5\\1 \end{bmatrix}, T(\mathbf{e}_3)=\begin{bmatrix} 3\\8\\2 \end{bmatrix}, T(\mathbf{e}_4)=\begin{bmatrix} -1\\-2\\0 \end{bmatrix}.$
Therefore the matrix $A$ we are looking for is
$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & -1\\ 3 & 5 & 8 & -2\\ 1 & 1& 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.$
### (b) The null space of the linear transformation
First, note that the null space of a linear transformation $T$ is the same as the null space of the matrix $A$ that represents $T$.
Thus, we find a basis for the null space of the matrix $A$ we obtained in (a).
The null space of $A$ consists of the solutions of $A\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{0}$ and so we apply Gauss-Jordan elimination process to solve the linear equation as follows. We apply the elementary row operations to the augmented matrix $[A|\mathbf{0}]$ of $A$.
\begin{align*}
[A|\mathbf{0}]&= \left[\begin{array}{rrrr|r}
1 & 2 & 3 & -1 &0\\
3 & 5 & 8 & -2&0\\
1 & 1& 2 & 0 &0
\end{array} \right] \xrightarrow[R_3-R_1]{R_2-3R_1}
\left[\begin{array}{rrrr|r}
1 & 2 & 3 & -1 &0\\
0 & -1 & -1 & 1&0\\
0 & -1& -1 & 1 &0
\end{array} \right]\\
& \xrightarrow[\text{then } -R_2]{R_3-R_2}
\left[\begin{array}{rrrr|r}
1 & 2 & 3 & -1 &0\\
0 & 1 & 1 & -1&0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0
\end{array} \right] \xrightarrow{R_1-2R_2}
\left[\begin{array}{rrrr|r}
1 & 0 & 1 & 1 &0\\
0 & 1 & 1 & -1&0\\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 &0
\end{array} \right].
\end{align*}
Therefore the solutions are
\begin{align*}
x_1&=-x_3-x_4\\
x_2&=-x_3+x_4
\end{align*}
and thus the solution $\mathbf{x}$ of $A\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{0}$ is of the form
$\mathbf{x}=\begin{bmatrix} -x_3-x_4\\ -x_3+x_4\\ x_3\\ x_4 \end{bmatrix} =x_3 \begin{bmatrix} -1\\-1\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}+x_4\begin{bmatrix} -1\\1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}.$ Hence we have
$\calN(T)=\calN(A)=\Span\left\{\, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\-1\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix} \, \right\}$ and the set
$B:=\left\{\, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\-1\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}\, \right\}$ is a spanning set for the null space $\calN(T)$.
We claim that the set $B$ is linearly independent. Indeed, if we have a linear combination
$a_1\begin{bmatrix} -1\\-1\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}+a_2\begin{bmatrix} -1\\1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}=\mathbf{0},$ then we have
$\begin{bmatrix} -a_1-a_2\\ -a_1+a_2\\ a_1\\ a_2 \end{bmatrix}=\mathbf{0}$ and thus $a_1=a_2=0$ and the set $B$ is linearly independent.
Since $B$ is a linearly independent spanning set for the null space $\calN(T)$, the set $B$ is a basis for $\calN(T)$.
In summary, we found a basis
$B:=\left\{\, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\-1\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -1\\1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}\, \right\}.$
### (c) The rank of the linear transformation
We apply the rank-nullity theorem to find the rank of $T$.
From part (b), we see that nullity, the dimension of the null space $\calN(T)$, is $2$.
The linear transformation is a map from $\R^4$ to $\R^3$. Thus the rank-nullity theorem states that we have
$\text{rank of } T + \text{nullity of } T=4$ $\text{rank of } T + 2=4.$ Therefore the rank of the linear transformation $T$ is 2.
Let $\mathbf{u}_1, \mathbf{u}_2, \mathbf{u}_3$ are vectors in $\R^n$. Suppose that vectors $\mathbf{u}_1$, $\mathbf{u}_2$ are orthogonal and the norm of $\mathbf{u}_2$... |
# How do you solve the following system: 10y=42+2x , y= 3/4x+3 ?
Apr 6, 2016
$x = \frac{24}{11}$
$y = \frac{51}{11}$
#### Explanation:
$10 y = 42 + 2 x \text{ (1)}$
$\text{expand the second equation by 10}$
$y = \frac{3}{4} x + 3 \text{ (2)}$
$\textcolor{red}{10} \cdot y = \textcolor{red}{10} \cdot \left(\frac{3}{4} x + 3\right)$
$10 y = \frac{30}{4} x + 30 \text{ (3)}$
$\text{so left side of the equations (1) and (3)are equal}$
$\text{we can write:}$
$42 + 2 x = \frac{30}{4} x + 30$
$2 x - 30 \frac{x}{4} = 30 - 42$
$\frac{8 x - 30 x}{4} = - 12$
$- 22 x = - 4 \cdot 12$
$22 x = 48 \text{ } x = \frac{48}{22}$
$x = \frac{24}{11}$
$\text{ now use the equation (1)}$
$10 y = 42 + 2 \left(\frac{24}{11}\right)$
$10 y = 42 + \frac{48}{11}$
$10 y = \frac{462 + 48}{11}$
$y = \frac{51 \cancel{0}}{11 \cancel{0}}$
$y = \frac{51}{11}$ |
# Identity and Inverse Matrices
Suppose that we have a matrix A, and we wish to find a matrix I, with the property that AI = A. We refer to I as a special type of matrix called the identity matrix. When we multiply any matrix by I, we get the matrix we started with back.
Let’s derive the identity matrix for a 2 by 2 matrix. First, let’s define an arbitrary matrix . Now, let’s multiply it by our identity matrix, and use the result to determine which values in the identity matrix will give us the matrix A as a result.
This gives us a system of equations to solve, which look like this:
Now, you could use some of the system solving techniques we learned in previous sections to solve this, however the solution can be found rather easily just through inspection. For the first equation to be true, and . For the last equation to be true, and . From this, we can conclude that the identity matrix is: .
We can derive a higher dimension identity matrices in a similar way. We simply define a general matrix, multiply by the identity, and solve for the correct values. Identity matrices are nice to know as they allow us to find matrices that can be equivalent to multiplying by 1. In addition to this, we can also use them to define an inverse operation for matrix multiplication.
Suppose we have a matrix A, and a matrix B. If AB = I, then B is the inverse of the matrix A. We also call A an invertible matrix, since it has an inverse. Inverse matrices have a lot of power in linear algebra, and we will be able to conclude a lot of information using the concept of inverses, and information from previous sections.
Theorem: Let A be a square matrix. Suppose that BA = AB = I and CA = AC = I. If this is true, then B = C.
We know that B = BI, since the identity gives us back the matrix we started with. From here, we can substitute for I, giving us B(AC), since AC = I. If we regroup the brackets, we get (BA)C = IC = C, therefore B = C.
Theorem: Suppose that A and B are n x n matrices, such that AB = I and BA = I. If this is true, B = , and B and A have a rank n.
If we assume that matrix B does not have a rank of n, there is no way that it could be the inverse matrix. This is because the resulting system of equations we discussed when deriving the identity matrix would not have a trivial solution. Since this is the case, both B and A must have a rank of n for B to be the inverse matrix.
Theorem: Suppose that A and B are invertible matrices and that t is some non-zero real number. The following statements are true.
These theories give us a great idea of how we can manipulate inverses, but we still haven’t looked at how we find an inverse to start with. To find the inverse of a matrix A, we need to solve the equation AB = I. This is going to look pretty like our actual derivation of the identity matrix earlier, however, the right-hand side is the identity matrix instead of the original matrix A. One effective way to solve such a system would be using the reduced row echelon format. We begin with the left-hand side of the matrix being A, and the right-hand side of the matrix being I. We then reduce A until it is equal to I, and the resulting right-hand side will be the inverse matrix. Let’s look at an example to see how this can be done.
Example: Find the inverse of
First, we are going to create an augmented matrix, with our matrix on the left-hand side, and the identity on the right-hand side.
From here, we are going to manipulate the right-hand side until it is equal to the identity on the left-hand side. Once this is done, we will have the inverse matrix on the right-hand side, and the identity on the left-hand side.
We start by subtracting the first row by the second
Next, we will multiply the first row by 2 and subtract it from row 3.
We multiply the second row by 2 and subtract it from row 3.
Multiply the second and third row by -1
Subtract the second row by the first row
Add 2 times the third row to the first row
We have now finished reducing the left-hand side, giving us the inverse matrix, , on the right-hand side. |

# A set of data has a mean of 127 and a standard deviation of 15. What is the z-score of x = 118?
Answer: The z-score is a measure of how statistically related a value is from the mean. It is a tool to standardize scores from different sets of data which is why it is also known as "Standard Score". It can be calculated using the formula:
z-score = (any value in the data - mean) ÷ standard deviation
Given:
any value in the data = 118
standard deviation = 15
mean = 127
Solution:
z-score = (118 - 127) ÷ 15
z-score = -0.6

Which is the inverse of the function f(x)=4x-9
= .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : f(x)=4x-9.
To find : Which is the inverse of the function.
Solution : We have given f(x)=4x-9.
Step 1 : replace y to x
x = 4y -9.
Step 2: solve for y

To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and the y (the f(x) = y), then solve for y.
x = 4y - 9
x + 9 = 4y
y = (x+9)/4
So f^-1(x) = (x+9)/4

# Linear Equations – Definition and Forms
Linear equations are equations that produce graphs that are linear, that is, their graphs are straight lines. The main characteristic of these equations is that all of the variables have a maximum degree of one.
In this article, we will explore these equations in more detail. We will start by considering what linear equations are in general, and then we will look at the different forms in which they can be written. We will explore the slope-intercept form, the point-slope form, and the standard form.

## Definition of linear equations
Linear equations are equations of the first order. These equations are defined by straight lines in the Cartesian plane. An equation for a straight line is called a linear equation. All the variables in linear equations have a maximum order of 1.
Example: the equation $latex y = x + 2$ is linear:
The following are examples of linear equations with 1 variable, with 2 variables, and with 3 variables:
### EXAMPLES
Linear equations with one variable:
• $latex 2x+4=17$
• $latex 3x=24$
• $latex \frac{1}{2}x+2=10$
Linear equations with two variables:
• $latex x+3y=15$
• $latex y=3x-12$
• $latex \frac{1}{3}x+2y=5$
Linear equations with three variables:
• $latex x+2y-2z=10$
• $latex 2a+4b-c=8$
• $latex \frac{1}{2}x+2y=3z-4$
## Forms of linear equations
There are varios different forms in which we can write linear equations, but generally, equations have constants (such as 2 or c) and must contain only simple variables (such as “x” or “y“).
### EXAMPLES
These are linear equations:
• $latex y=2x-4$
• $latex y-5=2(x-1)$
• $latex y+3x-5=0$
• $latex 3x=24$
• $latex \frac{y}{3}=12$
However, keep in mind that linear equations should not contain variables (such as “x” or “y“) with exponents, square roots, cube roots, etc.
### EXAMPLES
These are not linear equations:
• $latex {{y}^{2}}+3=9$
• $latex {{y}^{2}}+3=9$
• $latex \frac{{{{x}^{2}}}}{4}=20$
## Slope-intercept form of a linear equation
The slope-intercept form is the most common in linear equations. This form is represented as follows:
The line we have above represents the equation y = 2x + 1. In this equation:
• the slope is $latex m = 2$.
• the y-intercept is 1.
### Slope
The slope of the line is equal to the rate of change of y over the rate of change of x. The slope can be evaluated as follows:
$latex m=\frac{{\left( {{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}} \right)}}{{\left( {{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}} \right)}}$
Basically, the slope indicates the inclination of the line in the plane.
## Point-intercept form of a linear equation
Another common form for linear equations is the point-slope form. In this form, the equation of the linear equation is formed considering the points in the Cartesian plane:
An example of this form is the equation $latex y-3=\frac{1}{2}\left( {x-2} \right)$, where:
• $latex {{y}_{1}}=3$
• $latex {{x}_{1}}=2$
• $latex m=\frac{1}{2}$
## Standard form of a linear equation
The standard form of a linear equation with two variables is represented as
$latex Ax + By + C = 0$
where A≠0, B≠0 and x and y are the variables.
### EXAMPLES
The equation $latex 2x+4y+5=0$ is in the standard form and we have:
• A=2
• B=4
• C=5
### What are linear equations?
Linear equations are the equations used to represent straight lines. The equations for lines in the Cartesian plane are linear equations.
### What are the three main forms of linear equations?
The three main forms of linear equations are point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form.
### How do we express the standard form of linear equations?
The standard form of linear equations is given by $latex Ax + By + C = 0$.
### What is the slope-intercept form of linear equations?
The slope-intercept form is given by $latex y = mx + b$. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
### What is the difference between linear equations and non-linear equations?
A linear equation corresponds to straight lines.
A non-linear equation does not form a straight line. It could be a curve, oscillations or others. |
# The Mathematics of Shuffled Cards
It is said that each time you shuffle a 52-card deck, each arrangement you make may have never existed in all history, or may never exist again. Why? Because of the enormous number of arrangements that can be made using 52 distinct objects (in this case, cards).
To understand this, we can look at the number of arrangements that can be made with smaller number of objects. Lets start with 3 objects A, B, and C. The possible arrangements are ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB and CBA. Notice that for the first position, there are 3 possible choices (see figure below). Then, after you made the first choice, there are only 2 possible choices left. And after the second choice, you only have 1 possible choice. This means that the number of arrangements of 3 objects is $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$
Using the method above, we can calculate the number of arrangements of objects by multiplying the number of objects by all the numbers less than it down to 1. For example, the number of arrangements of 4 objects is $4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24$ (read Introduction to Permutations for details). Therefore, the number possible arrangements for a 52-deck card is
$52 \times 51 \times 50 \times \cdots \times 3 \times 2 \times 1$
or the product of 52 and all the integers less than it all the way down to 1. Note that the $\cdots$ symbol is used to denote that there are numbers that are not shown in the multiplication above. If we use a calculator to compute the expression above, we get
8.0658175e+67
or a number starting with 8 plus 67 more digits.
Now, let’s compute how many possible arrangements of cards are made in a year. There are 86400 seconds in a day, so if we assume that on the average there are one thousand 52-deck cards shuffled every second in the world, then, the number of arrangements in a year is 1000 decks/second x 86400 second/day x 365 days = 31 536 000 000.
If we divide 8.0658175e+67 by 31 536 000 000, we can exhaust all the arrangement in approximately $2.55 \times 10^{57}$ years, about
185 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
times the age of the universe.
Scientists believe that the universe is only 13.8 billion years or $1.38 \times 10^{10}$ years.
So, you see, it is possible that all the arrangements of well shuffled cards may not all exist until the end of the universe.

1. Wow! This one is a fascinating math thought of…
Thanks for sharing this… I am a math teacher.. But I did not get the 1000 cards part and hence even the stuff after that clearly…. Would be thankful if you can Plz elaborate a bit on this / make it bit easier so that I can share this with my students… Thanks again…
• Thank you Rupesh for your comment. It was supposed to be one thousand 52-deck cards, not 1000 cards. My apologies for the confusion. I revised the post and made the calculations more detailed. Please tell me if you have more questions. 🙂
2. The likely hood of getting the kings queens jacks 10s 9s 8s 7s 6s 5s 4s 3s 2s aces together is 1.9577227e+65 and getting these in order is 1.219078e+75 which is a 73 figure number and an 83 figure number |
# What Is 29/45 as a Decimal + Solution With Free Steps
The fraction 29/45 as a decimal is equal to 0.644.
The division of two numbers is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations, along with addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The result of a division can either be an integer or decimal number depending on the values of the dividend and the divisor.
Here, we are more interested in the division types that result in a Decimal value, as this can be expressed as a Fraction. We see fractions as a way of showing two numbers having the operation of Division between them that result in a value that lies between two Integers.
Now, we introduce the method used to solve said fraction to decimal conversion, called Long Division, which we will discuss in detail moving forward. So, let’s go through the Solution of fraction 29/45.
## Solution
First, we convert the fraction components, i.e., the numerator and the denominator, and transform them into the division constituents, i.e., the Dividend and the Divisor, respectively.
This can be done as follows:
Dividend = 29
Divisor = 45
Now, we introduce the most important quantity in our division process: the Quotient. The value represents the Solution to our division and can be expressed as having the following relationship with the Division constituents:
Quotient = Dividend $\div$ Divisor = 29 $\div$ 45
This is when we go through the Long Division solution to our problem.
Figure 1
## 29/45 Long Division Method
We start solving a problem using the Long Division Method by first taking apart the division’s components and comparing them. As we have 29 and 45, we can see how 29 is Smaller than 45, and to solve this division, we require that 29 be Bigger than 45.
This is done by multiplying the dividend by 10 and checking whether it is bigger than the divisor or not. If so, we calculate the Multiple of the divisor closest to the dividend and subtract it from the Dividend. This produces the Remainder, which we then use as the dividend later.
Now, we begin solving for our dividend 29, which after getting multiplied by 10 becomes 290.
We take this 290 and divide it by 45; this can be done as follows:
 290 $\div$ 45 $\approx$ 6
Where:
45 x 6 = 270
This will lead to the generation of a Remainder equal to 290 – 270 = 20. Now this means we have to repeat the process by Converting the 20 into 200 and solving for that:
200 $\div$ 45 $\approx$ 4Â
Where:
45 x 4 = 180
This, therefore, produces another Remainder which is equal to 200 – 180 = 20. Now we must solve this problem to Third Decimal Place for accuracy, so we repeat the process with dividend 200.
200 $\div$ 45 $\approx$ 4Â
Where:
45 x 4 = 180
Finally, we have a Quotient generated after combining the three pieces of it as 0.644, with a Remainder equal to 20.

Hint: In the given question, we have been given that there is a differentiation equation in two variables. We have to calculate the value of the differentiation equation. For doing that we are going to need to first of all, rearrange the terms with different differentiating factors. Then, we are going to have to apply the required formulae and solve for the given variables. Here, the terms are in the differentiating form, so we are going to have to apply integration on the two sides of the equality for solving this question.
The given equation is $\left( {1 + xy} \right)ydx + \left( {1 - xy} \right)xdy = 0$.
First, we are going to rearrange this equation,
$ydx + xdy + x{y^2}dx - {x^2}ydy = 0$
Now, dividing both sides by ${x^2}{y^2}$,
$\Rightarrow$ $\dfrac{1}{{{x^2}{y^2}}}\left( {ydx + xdy + x{y^2}dx - {x^2}ydy} \right) = \dfrac{0}{{{x^2}{y^2}}}$
or $\dfrac{{ydx + xdy}}{{{x^2}{y^2}}} + \dfrac{{dx}}{x} - \dfrac{{dy}}{y} = 0$
Now, we are going to apply the
$d\left( { - \dfrac{1}{{xy}}} \right) = \dfrac{{ydx + xdy}}{{{x^2}{y^2}}}$
$d\left( {\log x} \right) = \dfrac{{dx}}{x}$
$d\left( {\log y} \right) = \dfrac{{dy}}{y}$
Now, substituting these in $\dfrac{{ydx + xdy}}{{{x^2}{y^2}}} + \dfrac{{dx}}{x} - \dfrac{{dy}}{y} = 0$, we get:
$d\left( { - \dfrac{1}{{xy}}} \right) + d\left( {\log x} \right) - d\left( {\log y} \right) = 0$
Now, integrating both sides, we get:
$\Rightarrow$ $\int {d\left( { - \dfrac{1}{{xy}}} \right) + d\left( {\log x} \right) - d\left( {\log y} \right)} = \int 0$
$\Rightarrow$ $- \dfrac{1}{{xy}} + \log x - \log y = c$
We know, $\log \dfrac{a}{b} = \log a - \log b$
Hence, $- \dfrac{1}{{xy}} + \log x - \log y = \log \dfrac{x}{y} - \dfrac{1}{{xy}}$
Hence, $\log \dfrac{x}{y} - \dfrac{1}{{xy}} = c$
Thus, the correct option is (3).
Note: So, for solving questions of such type, we first write what has been given to us. Then we write down what we have to find. Then we think about the formulae which contain the known and the unknown and pick the one which is the most suitable and the most effective for finding the answer of the given question. Then we put in the knowns into the formula, evaluate the answer and find the unknown. It is really important to follow all the steps of the formula to solve the given expression very carefully and in the correct order, because even a slightest error is going to make the whole expression awry and is going to give us an incorrect answer. |
