Then the potential zeros can be expressed by the possible combinations as: $\dfrac{m}{n}$. We see from the given polynomial function that it has a constant term of $10$ and a leading coefficient of $-6$.

# 16.2: Substitution Ciphers - Mathematics One simple encryption method is called a substitution cipher. Substitution Cipher A substitution cipher replaces each letter in the message with a different letter, following some established mapping. A simple example of a substitution cipher is called the Caesar cipher, sometimes called a shift cipher. In this approach, each letter is replaced with a letter some fixed number of positions later in the alphabet. For example, if we use a shift of 3, then the letter A would be replaced with D, the letter 3 positions later in the alphabet. The entire mapping would look like: [1] Original: (mathrm{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}) Maps to: (mathrm{DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC}) Example 1 Use the Caesar cipher with shift of 3 to encrypt the message: “We ride at noon” Solution We use the mapping above to replace each letter. W gets replaced with Z, and so forth, giving the encrypted message: ZH ULGH DW QRRQ. Notice that the length of the words could give an important clue to the cipher shift used. If we saw a single letter in the encrypted message, we would assume it must be an encrypted A or I, since those are the only single letters than form valid English words. To obscure the message, the letters are often rearranged into equal sized blocks. The message ZH ULGH DW QRRQ could be written in blocks of three characters as ZHU LGH DWQ RRQ. Example 2 Decrypt the message GZD KNK YDX MFW JXA if it was encrypted using a shift cipher with shift of 5. Solution We start by writing out the character mapping by shifting the alphabet, with A mapping to F, five characters later in the alphabet. Original: (mathrm{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}) Maps to: (mathrm{FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDE}) We now work backwards to decrypt the message. The first letter G is mapped to by B, so B is the first character of the original message. Continuing, our decrypted message is Removing spaces we get BUYFIFTYSHARESA. In this case, it appears an extra character was added to the end to make the groups of three come out even, and that the original message was “Buy fifty shares.” Try it Now 1 Decrypt the message BNW MVX WNH if it was encrypted using a shift cipher with shift 9 (mapping A to J). SEND MONEY Notice that in both the ciphers above, the extra part of the alphabet wraps around to the beginning. Because of this, a handy version of the shift cipher is a cipher disc, such as the Alberti cipher disk shown here[2] from the 1400s. In a cipher disc, the inner wheel could be turned to change the cipher shift. This same approach is used for “secret decoder rings.” The security of a cryptographic method is very important to the person relying on their message being kept secret. The security depends on two factors: 1. The security of the method being used 2. The security of the encryption key used In the case of a shift cipher, the method is “a shift cipher is used.” The encryption key is the specific amount of shift used. Suppose an army is using a shift cipher to send their messages, and one of their officers is captured by their enemy. It is likely the method and encryption key could become compromised. It is relatively hard to change encryption methods, but relatively easy to change encryption keys. During World War II, the Germans’ Enigma encryption machines were captured, but having details on the encryption method only slightly helped the Allies, since the encryption keys were still unknown and hard to discover. Ultimately, the security of a message cannot rely on the method being kept secret; it needs to rely on the key being kept secret. Encryption Security The security of any encryption method should depend only on the encryption key being difficult to discover. It is not safe to rely on the encryption method (algorithm) being kept secret. With that in mind, let’s analyze the security of the Caesar cipher. Example 3 Suppose you intercept a message, and you know the sender is using a Caesar cipher, but do not know the shift being used. The message begins EQZP. How hard would it be to decrypt this message? Solution Since there are only 25 possible shifts, we would only have to try 25 different possibilities to see which one produces results that make sense. While that would be tedious, one person could easily do this by hand in a few minutes. A modern computer could try all possibilities in under a second. (egin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} hline extbf { Shift } & extbf { Message } & extbf { Shift } & extbf { Message } & extbf { Shift } & extbf { Message } & extbf { Shift } & extbf { Message } hline 1 & ext { DPYO } & 7 & ext { XJSI } & 13 & ext { RDMC } & 19 & ext { LXGW } hline 2 & ext { COXN } & 8 & ext { WIRH } & 14 & ext { QCLB } & 20 & ext { KWFV } hline 3 & ext { BNWM } & 9 & ext { VHQG } & 15 & ext { PBKA } & 21 & ext { JVEU } hline 4 & ext { AMVL } & 10 & ext { UGPF } & 16 & ext { OAJZ } & 22 & ext { IUDT } hline 5 & ext { ZLUK } & 11 & ext { TFOE } & 17 & ext { NZIY } & 23 & ext { HTCS } hline 6 & ext { YKTJ } & mathbf{1 2} & extbf { SEND } & 18 & ext { MYHX } & 24 & ext { GSBR } hline & & & & & & 25 & ext { FRAQ } hline end{array}) In this case, a shift of 12 (A mapping to M) decrypts EQZP to SEND. Because of this ease of trying all possible encryption keys, the Caesar cipher is not a very secure encryption method. Brute Force Attack A brute force attack is a method for breaking encryption by trying all possible encryption keys. To make a brute force attack harder, we could make a more complex substitution cipher by using something other than a shift of the alphabet. By choosing a random mapping, we could get a more secure cipher, with the tradeoff that the encryption key is harder to describe; the key would now be the entire mapping, rather than just the shift amount. Example 4 Use the substitution mapping below to encrypt the message “March 12 0300” Original: (mathrm{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789}) Maps to: (mathrm{2BQF5WRTD8IJ6HLCOSUVK3A0X9YZN1G4ME7P}) Solution Using the mapping, the message would encrypt to 62SQT ZN Y1YY Try it Now 2 Use the substitution mapping from Example 4 to decrypt the message C2SVX2VP PARTY AT 9 While there were only 25 possible shift cipher keys (35 if we had included numbers), there are about 1040 possible substitution ciphers[3]. That’s much more than a trillion trillions. It would be essentially impossible, even with supercomputers, to try every possible combination. Having a huge number of possible encryption keys is one important part of key security. Unfortunately, this cipher is still not secure, because of a technique called frequency analysis, discovered by Arab mathematician Al-Kindi in the 9th century. English and other languages have certain letters than show up more often in writing than others.[4] For example, the letter E shows up the most frequently in English. The chart to the right shows the typical distribution of characters. Example 5 The chart to the right shows the frequency of different characters in some encrypted text. What can you deduce about the mapping? Solution Because of the high frequency of the letter S in the encrypted text, it is very likely that the substitution maps E to S. Since W is the second most frequent character, it likely that T or A maps to W. Because C, A, D, and J show up rarely in the encrypted text, it is likely they are mapped to from J, Q, X, and Z. In addition to looking at individual letters, certain pairs of letters show up more frequently, such as the pair “th.” By analyzing how often different letters and letter pairs show up an encrypted message, the substitution mapping used can be deduced[5]. [1] en.Wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Caesar3.svg&page=1. PD [2] en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alberti_cipher_disk.JPG [3] There are 35 choices for what A maps to, then 34 choices for what B maps to, and so on, so the total number of possibilities is 35*34*33*…*2*1 = 35! = about 1040 [4] en.Wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:English_letter_frequency_(alphabetic).svg&page=1 PD [5] For an example of how this is done, see en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_analysis In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is a method for protecting data through encryption and decryption. Most ciphers require a specific key for encryption and decryption, but some ciphers like the ROT13 or Atbash ciphers have fixed keys. Many of the ciphers listed here were for military or other significant use during an earlier time, but today mostly are used only by puzzle makers. Modern encryption methods can be divided by the key type and their operation on input data. Symmetric key algorithms use the same key for encryption and decryption (private key cryptography). Asymmetric key algorithms use different keys for encryption and decryption (public key cryptography). With symmetric keys, the sender and receiver must have agreed upon a key in advance, while with asymmetric keys anyone can send messages to the receiver. Also depending on their operation, ciphers are either block ciphers (encrypting a fixed block size) or stream ciphers (encrypting a continuous stream of data). ## Caesar Shift (Substitution Cipher) A Caesar Shift cipher is a type of mono-alphabetic substitution cipher where each letter of the plain text is shifted a fixed number of places down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 1, letter A would be replaced by letter B, letter B would be replaced by letter C, and so on. This type of substitution Cipher is named after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his generals. Key +5 Plain text alphabet: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z /> Cipher text alphabet: F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D E This type of cipher is a form of symmetric encryption as the same key can be used to both encrypt and decrypt a message. (e.g. If a message is encrypted with a key of +5, it can be decrypted with a key of -5). You can generate your own encryption keys and encrypt your own messages using our online Caesar Shift substitution engine: #### Frequency Analysis SPAASL KVLZ SBRL RUVD AOHA AOL NHSHJAPJ LTWPYL OHZ ZLJYLASF ILNBU JVUZAYBJAPVU VU H ULD HYTVYLK ZWHJL ZAHAPVU LCLU TVYL WVDLYMBS AOHU AOL MPYZA KYLHKLK KLHAO ZAHY.

The calculator logic is explained below the calculator. #### Substitution cipher breaker In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encrypting by which units of plaintext are replaced with ciphertext, according to a fixed system the "units" may be single letters (the most common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing the inverse substitution. Substitution of single letters separately — simple substitution — can be demonstrated by writing out the alphabet in some order to represent the substitution. It is a cipher key, and it is also called a substitution alphabet. 1 For a simple substitution cipher, the set of all possible keys is the set of all possible permutations. Thus, for the English alphabet, the number of keys is 26! (factorial of 26), which is about . Because of this, if you want to decipher the text without knowing the key, the brute force approach is out of the question. However, the simple substitution cipher is considered a weak cipher because it is vulnerable to cryptoanalysis. First of all, substitution does not change the letters' frequencies, so if you have a decent amount of enciphered text and you know the language it was written in, you can try frequency analysis. For example, the most common letter in the English language is E, so, most common letter in the encrypted text is probable the E substitution. The analyst also looks for bigrams and trigrams frequencies because some unigram frequencies are too close to each other to rely on them. Using frequencies, analysts can create trial keys and test them to see if they reveal some words and phrases in the encrypted text. But this manual approach is time-consuming, so the goal of an automated solution is to exclude humans from the process of breaking the cipher. And it is possible due to another simple substitution cipher vulnerability, known as Utility of Partial Solution. In other words, if there are many pairs of keys in the keyspace where the decryption of the ciphertext by the key more similar to the correct key more closely resembles the plaintext than the decryption of the ciphertext by the other key, the cipher has Utility of Partial Solutions. If there is a correlation between the degree to which a key resembles the correct key and the degree to which that key's decryption of the ciphertext resembles the plaintext, it should be possible to search the keyspace efficiently by quickly discarding keys that are "worse" than whatever key is the closest match at any moment, climbing ever closer to the optimal key without knowing it initially. These keyspaces can be searched via Stochastic Optimization Algorithms. 2 The tricky part here is how you can measure if one key is "worse" than another. We need text fitness to address this, which gives us some score on how the given text looks like typical English text. There are different approaches, and I've tried this and that, but one which worked for me is outlined here: Text fitness (version 3). In short, it uses the sum of log probabilities of quadgrams and compares the sum with the sum for the "normal" English text (created as the sum of log probabilities of the most often English quadgrams). Here I'd like to thank Jens Guballa (site), author of another substitution solver, who kindly gives me a hint that text fitness function should be "normalized." The implementation below uses a genetic algorithm to search for the correct key. If it fails, you can repeat a couple of times (each time it starts from a set of random keys as an initial generation) or tweak the settings, for example, increase the number of generations. Just click the Details to reveal additional settings. In this mode, the calculator also displays the best key in each generation, which is quite curious to watch. If you see that the found key is close to the correct one but misses a couple of letters, you may use Substitution cipher tool to manually test the keys. The Bifid cipher was invented by the French amateur cryptographer Félix Delastelle around 1901, and is considered an important invention in cryptology. It uses a combination of a Polybius square and transposition of fractionated letters to encrypt messages. The two-square cipher is also called "double Playfair". It is stronger than an ordinary Playfair cipher, but still easier to use than the four-square cipher. Depending on the orientation of the squares, horizontal or vertical, the cipher behaves slightly different. ## The Germans and the Russians: Real Codes Decrypted Let’s try running our code on a test message: In addition to being correct, most of the attempts were very close as well, giving the first few letters such decodings as “coroti” or “gorothy”. Let’s try a harder one. This message was sent by Baron August Schluga, a German spy in WWI (source): Here’s a code sent by Aldrich Ames, the most notorious CIA mole to have ever been caught. It was a portion of a message sent in 1992 that was found on his person when he was arrested: This is a bit more disheartening because it’s obviously close to correct, but not quite there. A human can quickly fix the errors, switching p with m, and z and k. That being said, perhaps by slightly increasing the number of steps we could find our way to the right decryption. Here’s another, from the same source above, sent by Confederate General J.E. Johnston during the Siege of Vicksburg, May 25, 1863 during the U.S. Civil War. It was intercepted and then deciphered by Lincoln’s three-man team of cryptanalysts: Again, we are close but not quite there. In fact, this time the decryption even fails to segment the last block, even when there are useful pieces inside it. This is a side-effect of our zealous segmentation model that punishes unknown words exponentially in their length. Unfortunately, our program seems to fail more often than succeed. Indeed, the algorithm is not all that good. One might hope the following function is usually the identity on any given message, but it rarely is: In fact I have yet to see one example of this function returning sensible output for any input. That last one was close, but still rather far off. What’s more, for random small inputs the function seems to generate sensible output! Disregarding the fun we could have decrypting random message, we cry, “What gives?!” It seems that there’s some sort of measure of entropy that comes into play here, and messages with less entropy have a larger number of interpretations. Here entropy could mean the number of letters used in the message, the number of distinct letters used in the message, or some combination of both. The last obvious annoyance is that thee program is really slow. If we watch the intermediate computations, we note that it will sometimes approach the correct solution, and then stray away. And what’s more, the number of steps per run is fixed. Why couldn’t it be based on the amount of progress it has made so far, pushing those close solutions a bit further to the correct key, perhaps by spending more time just on those successful decryptions. Next time, we’ll spend our time trying to improve the steepest ascent algorithm. We’ll try to make it more quickly abandon crappy starting positions, and squeeze the most out of successful runs. We’ll further do some additional processing in our search for neighboring keys, and potentially involve letter 2-, 3-, 4-, and even 5-grams. But all in all, this worked out pretty well. We often emphasize the deficiencies of our algorithms, but here we have surprisingly many benefits. For one, we actually decoded real-life messages! With this program in hand even as few as twenty years ago, we would have had a valuable tool for uncovering nefarious secrets encoded via substitution. Even more, by virtue of our data-driven solution, we inherently bolster our algorithm with additional security. It’s stable, in the sense that minor data corruption (perhaps a typo, or nefarious message obfuscation) is handled well: our segmentation algorithm allows for typos, and a message with one or two typos still had a high letter trigram score in our probabilistic model. Hence we trivially bypass any sort of message obfuscation: if the average human can make sense of the decrypted message, so could our program. And as with word segmentation, it’s extensible: simply by swapping out the data sets and making minor alphabet changes, we can make our program handle encrypted messages in any language. This exponentially increases the usefulness of our approach, because data sets are cheap, while sophisticated algorithms are expensive (at least, good ones can be sophisticated). So look forward to next time when we improve the accuracy and speed of the steepest-ascent algorithm. ## Source code dCode retains ownership of the online 'Mono-alphabetic Substitution' tool source code.

It is also useful for manual cryptanalysis of a substitution cipher - when you have a message written in the English alphabet partially decrypted with an automatic tool and want to tweak the key. This simple tool allows you to encode and decode messages with a simple substitution cipher. For a cipher breaker, see Substitution cipher breaker. You can read a cipher description and some considerations regarding the strength of a cipher below the calculator. #### Substitution Cipher Tool According to Wikipedia, in cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encrypting by which units of plaintext are replaced with ciphertext, according to a fixed system the "units" may be single letters (the most common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing the inverse substitution. A simple substitution is the substitution of single letters separately. The substitution key is usually represented by writing out the alphabet in some order. The Caesar cipher is a form of a simple substitution cipher. For example, its ROT2 key can be presented as CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZAB. This means that A is replaced with C, B with D, and so on. The number of all possible keys for a simple substitution cipher is a factorial of 26 (26!). However, you can break it if you have enough ciphered text by using frequency analysis or the stochastic optimization algorithm (check out our Substitution cipher breaker). The cipher does not change language letter frequencies (it is said to be monoalphabetic), unlike, for example, the polyalphabetic Vigenère cipher, so it is considered to be rather weak. Paste text into the field, fill the key, choose "encode" if you have pasted clear text or "decode" if you have pasted ciphered text, and press "Calculate". Traditionally, punctuation and spaces are removed to disguise word boundaries and text is written in blocks of letters, usually five. This option is supported for encoding as well. ## 16.2: Substitution Ciphers - Mathematics In cryptography we encrypt messages that contains letters, but substitution ciphers are based on arithmetic operations on integers. Therefore, we have to convert the letters into integers before we apply the cryptosystem on the message. Because we use the English alphabet with 26 letters we have the following conversion between letters and integers: a b c d e f g h i j k l m 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 n o p q r s t u v w x y z 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 E.g. the letter "a" is converted into the integer "0", the letter "b" into "1" and so on. #### Modulo computation You already use modulo computation when you look at the clock and e.g. needs to figure out what time it's 3 hours after 11 o'clock, which is 2 o'clock. In math we write that as: where 12 is the modulus because we want the time as an integer between 0 and 11 (12 o'clock is in this case denoted by 0). In words we say 11 plus 3 modulo 12 is equal 2. The result of a modulo computation is an integer between 0 and the modulus minus 1. E.g. with the modulus 3 we have that: • ( 1 : mod : 3 = 1 ) • ( 2 : mod : 3 = 2 ) • ( 3 : mod : 3 = 0 ) • ( 4 : mod : 3 = 1 ) • ( 5 : mod : 3 = 2 ) • ( 6 : mod : 3 = 0 ) • etc. If we e.g. look at ( 27 : mod : 5 ) then modulo computes the number of times 5 divides 27 and then returns the remainder of the result which is 2 in this case, i.e. ( 27 : mod : 5 = 2 ). But how did we get this result? First we compute the number of times it's possible to multiply 5 with the number ( x ) such that we get an integer as close as possible to 27 without exceeding it, i.e. we have to find the maximun value of ( x ) such that ( 5 cdot x leq 27 ). In this case we have that ( x = 5 ) because ( 5 cdot 5 = 25 leq 27 ). Then by subtracting 27 with 25 we get the answer ( 27 - 25 = 2). If the integer is negative e.g. ( -27 : mod : 5 ) we have to do it slightly different and the answer is ( -27 : mod : 5 = 3 ). In this case the integer ( x ) is negative and should be the closest integer that exceed -27, i.e. we have to find the minimum value of ( -x ) such that ( 5 cdot -x geq -27 ). Now we have that ( -x = -6 ) because ( 5 cdot -6 = -30 geq -27 ). Then by subtracting -27 with -30 we get the answer ( -27 - (-30) = -27 + 30 = 3). It's important that ( x ) or ( -x ) is an integer such as ( -14, 3, 17 ) etc. and NOT a fraction or float such as ( frac<1><4>, frac<-3><7>, 2.5, 5.1 ) etc. If two integers ( a ) and ( b ) modulo the same modulus ( c ) returns the same remainder ( r ), then we say that ( a ) and ( b ) are congruent modulo ( c ). I.e. if ( a : mod : c = r ) and ( b : mod : c = r ) then ( a equiv b : (mod : c) ). Also, notice that if the modulus ( c ) is greater than the integer ( a ), i.e. ( c > a ), the result will always be equal ( a : mod : c = a ). #### Greatest common divisor Before we describe what the greatest common divisor of two integers are, we first define what we mean by a divisor. In this context is a divisor of an integer ( x ) some integer that divides ( x ) evenly, i.e. the result must not be a float. E.g. if you try to divide ( x=12 ) with 5 it returns the float ( frac<12> <5>= 2.4 ) and 5 is therefore not a divisor of ( x=12 ). For ( x=12 ) we have the divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 because ( frac<12> <1>= 12 ), ( frac<12> <2>= 6 ), ( frac<12> <3>= 4 ), ( frac<12> <4>= 3 ), ( frac<12> <6>= 2 ) and ( frac<12> <12>= 1 ). Likewise the divisors of 16 is 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 because ( frac<16> <1>= 16 ), ( frac<16> <2>= 8 ), ( frac<16> <4>= 4 ), ( frac<16> <8>= 2 ) and ( frac<16><16>=1 ). The greatest common divisor of 12 and 16 is therefore 4, because it is the largest integer of the common divisors. In math we write that as ( gcd(12, 16) = 4 ). Two integers with greatest common divisor 1 are called relatively prime numbers or co-primes. E.g. 15 and 28 are relatively prime numbers because ( gcd(15, 28) = 1 ) (notice that 28 is not a prime number). If one of the two integers is a prime number the greatest common divisor will always be 1, i.e. ( gcd(a, p) = 1 ) where ( a ) is an integer (either a prime number or a composite number) and ( p ) is a prime number. One method to compute the greatest common divisor of two integers is by using the Euclidean algorithm developed by the famous Greek mathematician Euclid. See "The extended Euclidean algorithm" for more information about how to compute the greatest common divisor of two integer. #### The extended Euclidean algorithm The extended Euclidean algorithm is an extended version of the Euclidean algorithm, which only returns the greatest common divisor of two integers. Given two integers ( a ) and ( b ) the extended Euclidean algorithm returns the integers ( a ), ( b ), ( lambda ) and ( mu ) such that: ( a cdot lambda + b cdot mu = gcd(a, b) ) where ( lambda ) and ( mu ) are called the Bézout coefficients for ( a ) and ( b ). Only if ( a ) and ( b ) are relatively prime numbers, i.e. ( gcd(a, b) = 1 ), then: ( a cdot lambda + b cdot mu = 1 ) and ( lambda mod b ) is the inverse of ( a ), denoted ( a^ <-1>= lambda mod b ), and ( mu : mod : a ) is the inverse of ( b ), denoted ( b^ <-1>= mu : mod : a ) (see "Modulo computation" for more information about the ( mod ) operator). One useful property of an integer and its inverse is that ( a cdot a^ <-1> mod b = 1 ) and ( b cdot b^ <-1> mod a = 1 ). You can easily compute ( gcd(a, b) ), ( lambda ) and ( mu ) for e.g. ( a=5 ) and ( b=39 ) with a simple table. So, let us first create a table with 3 columns (we do not yet know how many rows there will be in the table). Let us denote the entry in the first row and first column for [1,1], the entry in the first row and second column for [1,2], the entry in the second row and first column for [2,1] and so on. Next we write ( b=39 ) in entry [1,1] and ( a=5 ) in entry [2,1]. Then we try to find the biggest integer ( q_ <1>), such that ( q_ <1>cdot a leq b ). We have that ( q_<1>=7 ), which we write in entry [2,2], because ( 7 cdot 5 = 35 leq 39 ) and a remainder of ( r_<1>=4 ), which we write in entry [3,1]. Again we try to find the biggest integer ( q_ <2>), such that ( q_ <2>cdot r_ <1>leq a ). We have that ( q_<2>=1 ), which we write in entry [3,2], because ( 1 cdot 4 = 4 leq 5 ) and a remainder of ( r_<2>=1 ) that we write in entry [4,1]. Notice that we just computed the same as before, just with integers in a lower row. The next computation returns a remainder of ( r_ <3>= 0 ) because ( q_ <3>cdot r_ <2>= 4 cdot 1 = 4 leq 4 = r_ <1>). We have now computed ( gcd(5, 39)=r_<2>=1 ) since ( r_ <3>= 0 ). And because 5 and 39 are relatively prime numbers, we know that ( lambda ) and ( mu ) exists and we can then start using the last column. First we write ( x_<1>=0 ) in entry [4,3] and ( x_<2>=1 ) in entry [3,3]. Then we write ( x_<3>=q_ <2>cdot x_ <2>+ x_ <1>= 1 cdot 1 + 0 = 1 ) in entry [2,3]. For entry [1,3] we compute the same as before, just with integers from the row above, i.e. ( x_<4>=q_ <1>cdot x_ <3>+ x_ <2>= 7 cdot 1 + 1 = 8 ). Finally we have that ( a cdot x_ <4>pm b cdot x_ <3>= r_ <2>), where we need to decide whether it should be plus or minus between the two terms. Because ( a cdot x_ <4>= 5 cdot 8 = 40 ), ( b cdot x_ <3>= 39 cdot 1) and ( 40 geq 39 ) we have that ( 5 cdot 8 - 39 cdot 1 = 1 ) (which is the same as ( 5 cdot 8 + 39 cdot (-1) = 1 )) and the Bézout coefficients are ( lambda=8 ) and ( mu=-1 ). Notice that ( a^ <-1>= lambda mod b = 8 mod 39 = 8) and ( b^ <-1>= mu mod a = -1 : mod : 5 = 4) where ( a cdot a^ <-1> mod b = 5 cdot 8 mod 39 = 1 ) and ( b cdot b^ <-1> mod a = 39 cdot 4 mod 5 = 1 ). The table for computing ( 5 cdot lambda + 39 cdot mu = gcd(5, 39) ) is: ( b=39 ) ( x_<4>=8 ) ( a=5 ) ( q_<1>=7 ) ( x_<3>=1 ) ( r_<1>=4 ) ( q_<2>=1 ) ( x_<2>=1 ) ( r_<2>=1 ) ( q_<3>=4 ) ( x_<1>=0 ) ( r_<3>=0 ) #### The Caesar cipher explained The Caesar cipher, also known as the shift cipher, is named after the Roman general Julius Caesar who used it to communicate with his officers during wars about the year of 50 BC. It's a simple substitution cipher where each letter in the alphabet is substituted with another letter by shifting it ( s ) times. It's said that Julius Caesar used the shift value ( s = 3 ). Assume Alice wants to send a message ( m ) (also called the plaintext) to her friend Bob using the Caesar cipher. First they in advance agree on a shift value ( s ) and then Alice encrypts the message by shifting each letter in the message ( s ) times to the right which produces the ciphertext ( c ). She then sends the ciphertext to Bob who decrypts it by shifting each letters in the ciphertext ( s ) times to the left. In the case with the shift value ( s = 3 ) the letter "a" in the plaintext becomes "D" in the ciphertext, "b" becomes "E", "c" becomes "F" etc. You may wonder what happens with the last letters in the alphabet because there is no letter appearing three letters after "x", "y" and "z". The answer is simple: we just use the same approach as modulo computation, i.e. "x" becomes "A", "y" becomes "B" and "z" becomes "C". The encryption table for ( s = 3 ) is illustrated in the following table where the plaintext letters are in lowercase and the ciphertext letters are in uppercase: Encryption table for ( s = 3 ) a b c d e f g h i j k l m D E F G H I J K L M N O P n o p q r s t u v w x y z Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C If we convert the letters into integers such that "a" is converted into "0", "b" is converted into "1", "c" is converted into "2" etc. then the encryption of the letter ( m_ ) in the message ( m ) is defined as ( c_ = (m_ + s) : mod : 26 ) and decryption is defined as ( m_' = (c_ - s) : mod : 26 ). The modulus is 26 because there is 26 letters in the English alphabet. It's easy to verify that ( m_' = m_ ) because: ##### The protocol Key exchange Alice and Bob agree on the shift value ( s ). Encryption Alice: Uses the shift value to compute the ciphertexts ( c_ = (m_ + s) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots n ) where ( n = |m| ) (the length of the plaintext ( m )). Alice sends the ciphertext ( c = (c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_) ) to Bob. Decryption Bob: Uses the shift value to decrypt the ciphertexts ( m_ = (c_ - s) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots n ) where ( n = |c| ) (the length of the ciphertext ( c )). ##### Example Alice wants to send the message ( m = mbox <"meet me at the secret location">) to Bob. First they agree on the shift value ( s = 3 ) and then Alice converts the letters in ( m ) into the integers ( m_ <1>= 12, m_ <2>= 4, dots, m_ <25>= 13 ), which she encrypts: ( eqalign < c_<1>&= (m_ <1>+ s) : mod : 26 = (12 + 3) : mod : 26 = 15 c_ <2>&= (m_ <2>+ s) : mod : 26 = (4 + 3) : mod : 26 = 7 &vdots c_ <25>&= (m_ <25>+ s) : mod : 26 = (13 + 3) : mod : 26 = 16 > ) She then converts the ciphertexts ( c_ <1>= 15, c_ <2>= 7, dots, c_ <25>= 16 ) into letters and sends the ciphertext ( c = mbox <"PHHW PH DW WKH VHFUHW ORFDWLRQ">) to Bob. Bob decrypts the received ciphertext almost just like Alice encrypted the message. First he converts the letters in the ciphertext ( c ) into the integers ( c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_ <25>) and then he decrypts them: ( eqalign < m_<1>&= (c_ <1>- s) : mod : 26 = (15 - 3) : mod : 26 = 12 m_ <2>&= (c_ <2>- s) : mod : 26 = (7 - 3) : mod : 26 = 4 &vdots m_ <25>&= (c_ <25>- s) : mod : 26 = (16 - 3) : mod : 26 = 13 > ) Finally he converts the plaintexts ( m_<1>, m_<2>, dots, m_ <25>) back into letters which result in the message ( m = mbox <"meet me at the secret location">). #### The Affine cipher explained The affine cipher is a combination of the Caesar cipher and a multiplication cipher: First Alice and Bob agrees on the two integers ( a ) and ( b ) between 0 and 25 such that ( gcd(a, 26) = 1 ) because during decryption her friend Bob needs the inverse ( a^ <-1>) of ( a ) which only exists when ( gcd(a, 26) = 1 ). Alice then encrypts the message ( m ) by first converting each letter into integers where the letter "a" is converted into the integer "0", "b" is converted into "1", "c" is converted into "2" etc. Then for each integer ( m_ ) she computes ( c_ = (a cdot m_ + b) : mod : 26 ) (notice that if ( a=1 ) the affine cipher corresponds to the Caesar cipher with the sift value ( b )), converts each ( c_ ) back into letters and sends the ciphertext ( c ) to Bob. The modulus is 26 because there is 26 letters in the English alphabet. Bob decrypts the ciphertext in a similar way as Alice encrypted the message. First he computes the inverse ( a^ <-1>) of ( a ) with the extended Euclidean algorithm, which gives him the equation ( a cdot lambda + 26 cdot mu = gcd(a, 26) ) where ( a^ <-1>= lambda mod 26 ) and ( a cdot a^ <-1>: mod : 26 = 1 ) (remember that ( a^ <-1>) only exists because ( gcd(a, 26) = 1 )). Then he converts each letter in ( c ) into integers ( c_ ), computes ( m_' = a^ <-1>cdot (c_ - b) : mod : 26 ) and finally he converts the integers ( m_' ) back into letters, which result in the message ( m ). We see that ( m_' = m_ ) because: ( eqalign< m_' &= a^ <-1>cdot (c_ - b) : mod : 26 &&(c_ = (a cdot m_ + b)) &= a^ <-1>cdot ((a cdot m_ + b) - b) : mod : 26 &=a^ <-1>cdot (a cdot m_) : mod : 26 &&(a cdot a^ <-1>: mod : 26 = 1) &= m_ : mod : 26 > ) ##### The protocol Key exchange Alice and Bob agree on the values ( a ) and ( b ) such that ( gcd(a, 26) = 1 ). Encryption Alice: Uses the values ( a ) and ( b ) to compute the ciphertexts ( c_ = (a cdot m_ + b) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots n ) where ( n = |m| ) (the length of the plaintext ( m )). Alice sends the ciphertext ( c = (c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_) ) to Bob. Decryption Bob: Computes the inverse ( a^ <-1>) of ( a ) with the extended Euclidean algorithm. Uses ( b ) and ( a^ <-1>) to decrypt the ciphertexts ( m_ = a^ <-1>cdot (c_ - b) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots n ) where ( n = |c| ) (the length of the ciphertext ( c )). ##### Example Alice wants to send the message ( m = mbox <"it begins at midnight">) to Bob. First they agree on the integers ( a = 15 ) and ( b = 9 ) where ( gcd(a, 26) = gcd(15, 26) = 1 ). Then Alice converts the letters in ( m ) into the integers ( m_ <1>= 8, m_ <2>= 19, dots, m_ <18>= 19 ), which she encrypts: ( eqalign < c_<1>&= (a cdot m_ <1>+ b) : mod : 26 = (15 cdot 8 + 9) : mod : 26 = 25 c_ <2>&= (a cdot m_ <2>+ b) : mod : 26 = (15 cdot 18 + 9) : mod : 26 = 19 &vdots c_ <18>&= (a cdot m_ <18>+ b) : mod : 26 = (15 cdot 19 + 9) : mod : 26 = 8 > ) She then converts ( c_ <1>= 15, c_ <2>= 7, dots, c_ <18>= 16) back into letters and sends the ciphertext ( c = mbox <"ZI YRVZWT JI HZCWZVKI">) to Bob. When Bob receives the ciphertext he first computes the inverse ( a^ <-1>) of ( a = 15 ) with the extended Euclidean algorithm. The extended Euclidean algorithm gives him the equation ( gcd(a, 26) = a cdot lambda + 26 cdot mu = 15 cdot 7 + 26 cdot (-4) = 1 ) where ( a^ <-1>= lambda mod 26 = 7 mod 26 = 7 ). Then he converts the letters in ( c ) into the integers ( c_ <1>, c_<2>, dots, c_ <18>) and decrypts them: ( eqalign < m_<1>&= a^ <-1>cdot (c_ <1>- b) : mod : 26 = 7 cdot (15 - 9) : mod : 26 = 8 m_ <2>&= a^ <-1>cdot (c_ <2>- b) : mod : 26 = 7 cdot (7 - 9) : mod : 26 = 18 &vdots m_ <18>&= a^ <-1>cdot (c_ <18>- b) : mod : 26 = 7 cdot (16 - 9) : mod : 26 = 19 > ) Finally he converts ( m_ <1>, m_<2>, dots, m_ <18>) back into letters which result in the message ( m = mbox <"it begins at midnight">). #### The Vigenére cipher explained The Caesar and affine cipher are both monoalphabetic ciphers because once a key is chosen each letter is mapped uniquely to another letter. As cryptanalytic methods became more sophisticated in the 16th century more sophisticated ciphers were invented and one of them was the Vigenére cipher, which was invented by Blaise de Vigenére in the 16th century. The Vigenére cipher is a polyalphabetic cipher because each letter is encrypted and decrypted with different keys, i.e. the same letter can be mapped to multiple different letters. ##### Example Alice wants to send the message ( m = mbox <"it is hidden at the bridge">) to Bob where ( n = |m| = 21). First they agree on the keyword ( K = mbox <"THEORY">) of length ( t = 6 ). Because ( t Try the cipher The one-time pad described by Gilbert Vernam in 1917 is a perfectly secure cryptosystem when the used key is completely random and only used to encrypt a single message. Perfectly secure means that if Alice and Bob's common adversary Eve with infinity computing power intercept a ciphertext she learns nothing whatsoever about the message or the key. Encryption and decryption in the one-time pad are almost identical to the one used in the Vigenére cipher which makes it very attractive because they are simple operations, but unfortunately the used key must have the same length as the message. If we could encrypt multiple messages with the same key this would not be a problem, but the key must only be used once to keep the one-time pad perfectly secure. In the one-time pad Alice and Bob first agrees on a random key ( K ) of length ( n ) where ( n = |m| ) (the length of the message ( m )). Alice then encrypts the message ( m ) using the key ( K ) just like she did in the Vigenére cipher: She first converts the letters in the key ( K ) and the message ( m ) into the integers ( k_<1>, k_<2>, dots, k_ ) and ( m_<1>, m_<2>, dots, m_ ) respectively. Then she encrypts each letter by computing ( c_ = (m_ + k_) : mod : 26 ) where the modulus is 26 because the English alphabet has 26 letters. Finally she converts the integers ( c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_ ) into letters and sends the ciphertext ( c ) to Bob. Bob decrypts the received ciphertext ( c ) in a similar way: he converts the key ( K ) and the ciphertext ( c ) into the integers ( k_<1>, k_<2>, dots, k_ ) and ( c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_ ) respectively and computes ( m_' = (c_ - k_) : mod : 26 ). Finally he converts the integers ( m_<1>', m_<2>', dots, m_' ) into letters, which result in the message ( m ). We have that ( m_' = m_ ) because: ##### The protocol Key exchange Alice and Bob agree on the key ( K = (k_<1>, k_<2>, dots, k_) ) where ( n = |m| ) (the length of the message ( m )). Encryption Alice: Uses the key ( k_ ) to compute the ciphertext ( c_ = (m_ + k_) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots, n ). Alice sends the ciphertext ( c = (c_<1>, c_<2>, dots, c_) ) to Bob. Decryption Bob: Uses the key ( k_ ) to decrypt the ciphertext ( m_ = (c_ - k_) : mod : 26 ) for ( i = 1, 2, dots, n ). ##### Example Alice wants to send the message ( m = mbox <"meet me tomorrow morning">) to Bob where ( n = |m| = 21 ). First they agree on a random key with the same length as the message: ( K = mbox <"WVJLQCOEUTYJNNUGDROVS">) . She then converts the letters in ( K ) and ( m ) into the integers ( k_ <1>= 22, k_ <2>= 21, dots, k_ <21>= 18 ) and ( m_ <1>= 12, m_ <2>= 4, dots, m_ <21>= 6 ) respectively and computes: ( eqalign < c_<1>&= (m_ <1>+ k_<1>) : mod : 26 = (12 + 22) : mod : 26 = 8 c_ <2>&= (m_ <2>+ k_<2>) : mod : 26 = (4 + 21) : mod : 26 = 25 &vdots c_ <21>&= (m_ <21>+ k_<18>) : mod : 26 = (6 + 18) : mod : 26 = 24 > ) She then converts ( c_ <1>= 8, c_ <2>= 25, dots, c_ <21>= 24 ) back into letters and sends the ciphertext ( c = mbox <"IZNE CG HSGHPABJ GUUEWIY">) to Bob. When Bob receives the ciphertext he converts the letters in ( K ) and ( c ) into the integers ( k_ <1>, k_<2>, dots, k_ <21>) and ( c_ <1>, c_<2>, dots, c_ <21>) respectively and computes: ( eqalign < m_<1>&= (c_ <1>- k_<1>) : mod : 26 = (8 - 22) : mod : 26 = 12 m_ <2>&= (c_ <2>- k_<2>) : mod : 26 = (25 - 21) : mod : 26 = 4 &vdots m_ <21>&= (c_ <21>- k_<18>) : mod : 26 = (24 - 18) : mod : 26 = 6 > ) Finally he converts ( m_ <1>, m_<2>, dots, m_ <21>) back into letters, which result in the message ( m = mbox <"meet me tomorrow morning">). ## Substitution Cipher This problem offers a statistical activity that has immediate practical application. We have offered a spreadsheet toolkit so that students can concentrate on the analysis of the data without needing to waste time on computation. ### Possible approach "Which letters do you think appear most often in the English language?" "How could you find out?" Allow some time for students to think about and share their answers. If they have books with them, perhaps suggest that they take a look to see which letters seem most common at first glance. If a computer room is available, introduce students to the toolkit and give them time to perform a frequency analysis on some English text (Wikipedia articles are a great source for this). Share results from the frequency analysis. Does everybody find the same letters come out top, and bottom? There is opportunity here for some discussion about the benefits of using longer sample texts. Then present students with the ciphertext in the problem (available as a text file here). If a computer room is not available, the ciphertext is available as a worksheet here. Here is a second version of the worksheet with the ciphertext faint so that students can write over it as they go deciphering the message. ### Key questions Are there any short words? What might they be? ### Possible support Students could be encouraged to work collaboratively on this problem. There are lots of suggestions to help them get started in the hint. ### Possible extension Students could investigate the frequency of digraphs (pairs of letters such as th or sh) in the English language and consider whether this speeds up the deciphering process. The Secondary Cipher Challenge and Substitution Transposed offer challenging extensions for students who have worked on this problem and the problem Transposition Cipher. ## The Black Chamber The monoalphabetic substitution cipher seemed uncrackable, because of the huge number of possible keys. There was, however, a shortcut that would undermine its security. This section tells the story of how this code breaking technique was invented, explains how it works and provides you with a tool that will help you to crack ciphers. The cracking of the substitution cipher marks the birth of cryptanalysis (code breaking). This occurred during the golden age of the Islamic civilization, when many ancient foreign manuscripts were being brought to Baghdad to be added to the great Arab libraries. Some of these manuscripts were encrypted, which motivated the code breakers to crack the ciphers and reveal the secrets within. The picture shows the first page of al-Kindi's manuscript "On Deciphering Cryptographic Messages", containing the oldest known description of cryptanalysis by frequency analysis. The letters "a" and "I" are the most common in Arabic. In English, E, then T, then A are the most common letters. If a message is enciphered so that every letter is substituted for a different letter, then the new letter will take on all the attributes of the old letter, including how common it is. So if the most common letter in an encoded English message is W, then W probably represents E. If there are lots of Gs, then G might represent T. And so on. The letters "a" and "I" are the most common in Arabic. In English, E, then T, then A are the most common letters. Although it is not known who first realized that the variation in the frequencies of letters could be exploited in order to break ciphers, the earliest known description of the technique is by the 9th century scientist Abu Yusuf Ya 'qub ibn Is-haq ibn as-Sabbah ibn 'omran ibn Ismail al-Kindi. Known as the philosopher of the Arabs', al-Kindi was the author of 290 books on medicine, astronomy, mathematics, linguistics and music, but his greatest treatise, which was only rediscovered in 1987 in the Sulaimaniyyah Ottoman Archive in Istanbul, is entitled "A Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages."

The boxes can hold a good amount of packing peanuts. Each day, one of the students goes to the storeroom to get a big bag of packing peanuts. Then they work on filling 5 – 10 boxes half-way full of packing peanuts so that they are ready to go when the time comes. “I wonder how much one box holds,” Candice asked Trevor one morning. “I think that would depend on the box. I think that a tall skinny box would hold more than a wide flat box,” Trevor said, challenging her. “I don’t. Think about it. Tall may seem like it would hold more, but you can spread out the peanuts in the wide flat box. I think the wide flat one will hold more.” “Let’s test it out,” Candice said. “We can fill them and then go back and count all of the peanuts.” “There is an easier way than that. We can use the dimensions and figure out the volume of each box.” Candice is a bit puzzled by that. She thinks that counting all of the peanuts would be a quicker way to work. The two begin a short argument and decide to try out both methods. Candice begins filling boxes and Trevor begins to work it through mathematically. Here are the dimensions of the two boxes: The tall box has a length of 5 inches, a width of 4 inches and a height of 18 inches. The wide flat box has a length of 12 inches, a width of 6 inches, and a height of 5 inches. Do you have a prediction which one has the greater volume? This lesson is all about figuring out the volume of prisms. Pay close attention and you will understand by the end of the lesson. What You Will Learn By the end of this lesson, you will be able to demonstrate the following skills. • Recognize volume of prisms as the sum of volumes of layers of unit cubes. • Find volumes of rectangular prisms using formulas. • Find volumes of triangular prisms using formulas. • Solve real-world problems involving volumes of prisms. Teaching Time I. Recognize Volume of Prisms as the Sum of Volumes of Layers of Unit Cubes You have heard the world “volume” before in everyday life. We can talk about the volume of water in a pool or in a glass or in a pitcher. This lesson will focus on how we can find the volume of a prism. A prism is a three-dimensional figure with two congruent parallel bases and rectangular faces for sides. The prism is named by the polygon which makes up its base. Volume is the measure of how much three-dimensional space it takes up or holds. Imagine a fish aquarium. Its length, width, and height determine how much water the tank will hold. If we fill it with water, the amount of water represents the volume of the tank. We measure volume in cubic units, because we are multiplying three dimensions: length, width, and height. We will look at several ways to calculate volume. One way is to use unit cubes. Volume, as we have said, is the amount of space a three-dimensional solid takes up. One way to find the volume of a prism is to consider how many unit cubes it can contain. A unit cube is simply a cube measuring one inch, one centimeter, one foot, or whatever units of measurement we are using, on all sides. Here are some unit cubes. We use unit cubes as a way to measure the space inside a solid figure, or its volume. We simply count the number of unit cubes that “fit” into the prism. We begin by counting the number of cubes that cover the bottom of the prism, and then count each layer. Let’s see how this works. How many cubes do you see here? If we count all of the cubes, you will see that we have 24 cubes in this prism. The volume of this prism is 24 units3\begin{align*}\text{units}^3\end{align*} or cubic units. Let’s look at another example. Example Find the volume of the following figure using unit cubes. How many cubes are in this figure? We can see by counting that there are 48. The volume of this prism is 48 cubic units or units3\begin{align*}\text{units}^3\end{align*}. Did you notice a pattern here? If you look carefully, you will see that the volume of the rectangular prism is a function of multiplying the length ×\begin{align*}\times\end{align*} the width ×\begin{align*}\times\end{align*} the height. Here is our formula!! II. Find Volumes of Rectangular Prisms Using Formulas We just discovered the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. Now let’s refine that formula a little further. Here is the formula. V=Bh\begin{align*}V=Bh\end{align*} The volume is equal to the B\begin{align*}B\end{align*}, base area of the prism, multiplied by the height of the prism. Let’s look at an example. Example Find the volume of the prism below. We simply put the values for the length, width, and height in for the appropriate variables in the formula. Then we solve for V\begin{align*}V\end{align*}, volume. First we find the area of the base. This is the rectangular side on the bottom. Remember, to find the area of a rectangle we multiply the length by the width. BBB=lw=16×9=144 cm2\begin{align*}B & = lw\\ B & = 16 \times 9\\ B & = 144 \ cm^2\end{align*} The base area is 144 square centimeters. Now we simply multiply this by the height, which represents the number of layers in the prism. VVV=Bh=144×4=576 cm3\begin{align*}V & = Bh\\ V & = 144 \times 4\\ V & = 576 \ cm^3\end{align*} The volume of this rectangular prism is 576 cubic centimeters. We can calculate the volume of the same rectangular prism with unit cubes too. You can see that we could count the unit cubes here to find the volume of the rectangular prism. The other option is to multiply the measurements that we see. This would work as well. Let’s try it and see. VVV=lwh=(16)(9)(4)=576 cm3\begin{align*}V & = lwh\\ V & = (16)(9)(4)\\ V & = 576 \ cm^3\end{align*} Wow! We got the same answer! 10I. Lesson Exercises Find the volume of each rectangular prism given the following dimensions. 1. Length of 10 in, width of 8 in, height of 6 inches 2. Length of 8 m, width of 7 m, height of 3 meters 3. Length of 15 ft, width of 12 ft, height of 11 feet III. Find Volumes of Triangular Prisms Using Formulas You have just finished working with rectangular prisms, now we are going to look at volume with triangular prisms. What is the difference between a rectangular prism and a triangular prism? A rectangular prism has two parallel faces that are rectangles, then the other faces are rectangles as well. With a triangular prism, the two parallel faces are triangles and then the other faces are still rectangles. Here is a picture of a triangular prism. We calculate the volume of triangular prisms almost the same way that we find the volume of rectangular prisms. We still use the formula V=Bh\begin{align*}V = Bh\end{align*}. However, this time the bottom layer of the prism is a triangle, not a rectangle. Therefore we need to use the area formula for a triangle to find B\begin{align*}B\end{align*}. Then we can multiply this amount by the height. Let’s look at an example to see how this works. Example What is the volume of this triangular prism? As we have seen, the volume formula for any prism is V=Bh\begin{align*}V = Bh\end{align*}. First we need to find the base area. Because the base is a triangle, we need to use the formula for the area of a triangle: 12bh\begin{align*}\frac{1}{2} bh\end{align*}. The height of the triangle, h\begin{align*}h\end{align*}, is indicated by a dashed line. The base of the triangle, \begin{align*}b\end{align*}, is the side perpendicular to the height. Remember, we use the height and base measurements for the triangular face, not the height measurement for the whole prism. Look carefully at the image! So there are two things that we need to accomplish, we need to find the area of one of the triangular bases and then we can take that measurement and multiply it with the height of the entire prism. \begin{align*}V & = Bh\\ B & = \frac{1}{2} bh\\ B & = \frac{1}{2}(16)(6)\\ B & = 48\\ V & = (48)H\\ V & = (48)(10)\\ V & = 480 \ in^3\end{align*} The volume of this triangular prism is \begin{align*}480 \ inches^3\end{align*}. 10J. Lesson Exercises Find the volume of the following triangular prisms. 1. \begin{align*}b = 12 \ in, \ h = 10 \ in, \ H = 15 \ in\end{align*} 2. \begin{align*}b = 7 \ cm, \ h = 5 \ cm, \ H = 9 \ cm\end{align*} 3. \begin{align*}b = 4 \ mm, \ h = 3 \ mm, \ H = 5 \ mm\end{align*} IV. Solve Real-World Problems Involving Volumes of Prisms We can use the methods we have learned to solve real-world problems involving area. First, be sure you understand what the question is asking. Second, consider whether the item in the problem is a rectangular or a triangular prism so that you know which formula to use. Let’s practice with a few problems. Example Carla is cleaning out her fish tank, so she filled the bathtub to the rim with water for her fish to swim in while she empties their tank. If the bathtub is 5.5 feet long, 3.3 feet wide, and 2.2 feet deep, how much water can it hold? First of all, what is the problem asking us to find? We need to find the volume of the bathtub. Is a bath tub a rectangular or a triangular prism? It is a rectangular prism, so we’ll need to use the area formula for rectangles to find \begin{align*}B\end{align*}. \begin{align*}B & = lw\\ B & = 5.5 \times 3.3\\ B & = 18.15 \ ft^2\end{align*} Now we put this value into the volume formula and solve: \begin{align*}V & = Bh\\ V & = 18.15 \times 2.2\\ V & = 39.93 \ ft^3\end{align*} Carla’s bathtub can hold 39.93 cubic feet of water. Example Every year Jeanie gets a bottle of her favorite perfume for her birthday. The perfume comes in a bottle shaped like a triangular prism. She is worried that she might run out of perfume before her next birthday because the bottle is only half full. How much perfume does she have left? First, let’s think about what the problem is asking us to find. We need to know how much perfume Jeanie has left. This means we need to find the volume of a full bottle and then divide by 2. Before we can use the volume formula, we also need to decide what kind of prism this is. The problem tells us that the bottle is in the shape of a triangular prism, so we’ll need to use the area formula for triangles to find the base area, \begin{align*}B\end{align*}. \begin{align*}B & = \frac{1}{2} bh\\ B & = \frac{1}{2} (6) (4)\\ B & = 3 (4)\\ B & = 12 \ cm^2 \end{align*} The base area is 12 square centimeters. Now we can put this into the volume formula and solve. \begin{align*}V & = Bh\\ V & = 12 \times 9\\ V & = 108 \ cm^3\end{align*} Now we know that the volume of the perfume bottle is 108 cubic centimeters. This is the amount a full bottle can contain. Remember, Jeanie’s bottle is only half full. Therefore we need to divide the volume in half: \begin{align*}108 \ cm^3 \div 2 = 54 \ cm^3\end{align*} There are 54 cubic centimeters of perfume left in Jeanie’s perfume bottle. ## Real–Life Example Completed Packing Peanuts Here is the original problem once again. Reread it and then use math with Trevor to find the volume of both boxes. One of the tasks that Candice and Trevor have is to fill boxes with packing peanuts when wrapping something that is fragile. The boxes can hold a good amount of packing peanuts. Each day, one of the students goes to the storeroom to get a big bag of packing peanuts. Then they work on filling 5 – 10 boxes half-way full of packing peanuts so that they are ready to go when the time comes. “I wonder how much one box holds,” Candice asked Trevor one morning. “I think that would depend on the box. I think that a tall skinny box would hold more than a wide flat box,” Trevor said, challenging her. “I don’t. Think about it. Tall may seem like it would hold more, but you can spread out the peanuts in the wide flat box. I think the wide flat one will hold more.” “Let’s test it out,” Candice said. “We can fill them and then go back and count all of the peanuts.” “There is an easier way than that. We can use the dimensions and figure out the volume of each box.” Candice is a bit puzzled by that. She thinks that counting all of the peanuts would be a quicker way to work. The two begin a short argument and decide to try out both methods. Candice begins filling boxes and Trevor begins to work it through mathematically. Here are the dimensions of the two boxes: The tall box has a length of 5 inches, a width of 4 inches and a height of 18 inches. The wide flat box has a length of 12 inches, a width of 6 inches, and a height of 5 inches. First, we can figure out the volume of both of the boxes. We can do this simply by multiplying the length \begin{align*}\times\end{align*} the width \begin{align*}\times\end{align*} the height of both of the boxes. Let’s do the tall one first. \begin{align*}V&=lwh\\ V&=5(4)(18) \\ V&=360 \ cubic \ inches \end{align*} Now we can find the volume of the wide, flat box. \begin{align*}V& =lwh \\ V & =(6)(5)(12) \\ V & =360 \ cubic \ inches \end{align*} “WOW!” Trevor exclaimed as Candice was still counting. “What?” Candice asked looking up from one pile of peanuts. “They have the same volume!!” Trevor took his piece of paper to show Candice his work. Then he smiled and the two began picking up the packing peanuts. Use arithmetic was definitely faster in this case! ## Vocabulary Here are the vocabulary words found in this lesson. Prism a three-dimensional solid with two flat parallel polygon bases and rectangular faces. The bases can be any polygon in shape. Volume the measure of the space inside a solid figure. Volume often is measured in terms of capacity connected with liquid measure. Cubic Units volume is measured in cubic units because three parts of a solid are being measured, length, width and height. ## Technology Integration 1. http://www.mathplayground.com/mv_volume_prisms.html – This is a Brightstorm video on how to find the volume of prisms. ## Time to Practice Directions: Find the volume of each rectangular prism.

### Relations and Functions and Their Domains and Ranges Relations and Functions You learned that the most general type of link between two quantities is called a relation. In a relation each x value (domain value) maps to one or more y value (range value) Example: y2 = x, In this case there are two values of y for every value of x since y is equal to plus or minus the squareroot of x. The requirement for a relation is that there be one or more values of y for every value of x. That requirement is fulfilled by the example. In a function, as opposed to a relation each x value (domain value) maps to exactly one, and only one range value (y value). Note that all of the x values may map to the same value of y. The requirement is that each x maps to one y value. There is no requiement that each x map to a different value of y. y = 6x + 3 and y = x2 are examples of functions, each x maps to one and only one value of y. In this session we are going to take a deeper look at functions and the notation that goes with them. Functional Notation - Input and Output - An example of functional notation is d = g(t) = 16(t)2. In this case we are saying that d (distance traveled) in a function of t, here g(t) and the particular function is 16(t)2. If we want to evaluate distance traveled at a particular time, say 2 seconds, we could write d = g(t=2) = 16(2)2. That is the way we could write it, but we don't write it that way (we use a notational form that was first used by Leonhard Euler around 1734). The notation that is used expresses the idea by writting it as g(2) = 16(2)2. In other words the argument of g( ? ) is the value of t that we want to use and everwhere in the function we replace t with that value. So if we had h(x) = 2x2 + 6x and we wanted to determine the value of the function when x was equal to -4 we would write it as h(-4) = 2(-4)2 + 6(-4) = 2(16) - 24 = 32 - 24 = 8. To illustrate the idea consider the following examples: • m(t) = 2(t)3 - 6t2, when t = -1 we have m(-1)=2(-1)3 - 6(-1)2=-2 + 6 = 4 • w(s)= 2s2 - 4s, when s = a we have w(a) = 2(a)2 - 4(a) = 2a2 - 4a • m(x) = 1/x + 3x, when x = 2x we have m(2x) = 1/(2x) + 3(2x) = 1/2x + 6x • r(x) = 2x2 - 7x, when x = a- 2 we have • r(a-2) = 2(a-2)2 - 7(a-2) • r(a-2 )= 2(a2-4a +4) -7a + 14 • r(a-2)= 2a2-8a + 8- 7a+ 14 • r(a-2)= 2a2 -15a + 22. Input and Output - When write a function, f(x) the x represents the input, when we have a formula and replace all the x's with the value of x the resulting output is the value of the function for that value of x. Let's look at input and output for three cases, (i) we have a formula, (ii) the information is in a table and (iii) the function is represented by a graph. 1. We have a formula Define a function such as: f(x) = 3x2 + 5x - 7 1. Select an input value for x, in this case x = -4 2. Rewrite the function as: f(-4) = 3(-4)2 + 5(-4) - 7 3. Carry out the arithmetic to get: f(-4) = 3(16) - 20 - 7 = 48-27 = 21 4. When x = -4 (input) the value of the function is 21 (output) 2. The information is contained in a table such as the one shown below. The table is designed to provide data on the age of a human fetus (weeks since conception) as a function of the size of a body part (foot length). The function can be written as A(l) (age is a function of length). If we wanted the value of f(20) we would look for 20 in the foot length row and then look for the corresponding value of age, 14 weeks. Conversely, if we were given A(?) = 32, meaning the age is predicted to be 32 weeks but we want the foot length. In this case we would go to the age row to find 32 and then look for the corresponding value of foot length, 68 mm. Foot lentgh (mm) 9 20 39 50 63 83 Age (weeks) 10 14 20 24 30 38 3. The function is described by a graph. In the figure on the right two points have been selected (-4, -1) and (3, 2). We will use the first point to illustrate the treatment of input. f(-4) means the value of the function when x = -4. We go along the x axis to minus 4 and then drop a vertical line to the curve. Next we draw a horizontal line from the curve to the y axis. It itersects the axis at -1 so the value of the function when x = -4 [ f(-4) ] is -1 or f(-4) = -1. Now using the right most point if we are told that f(x) = 2 we go up the y axis (f(x) axis) until we come to 2, then horizontally until we hit the graph and finally vertically until we hit the x axis at x = 3. This says that when f(x) = 2 the value of x is 3. [Remember there could be more than one value of x that gives us this value of f(x)]. ### Range and Domain of a Function Domain of a function: The domain on a function consists of all of the values that the independent variable (usually X ) for which the function is defined. For example • f(x) = 1/x is defined for all values of x except x = 0 (you cannot divide by zero) • f(x) = x2 is defined for all values of x. Range of a function:The range of a function consists of all of the values of the function as the independent variable (x) varies over its domain. Using the previous examples • the range of f(x) = 1/x is from -infinity up to zero and from zero to plus infinity (does not include zero) • the range of f(x) = x2 is from zero to plus infinity (the function is never negative)
# Lines Parallel to the Same Line In Geometry, a line is defined as a one-dimensional geometric figure that extends infinitely in both directions. A line has no thickness. A line is generally made up of an infinite number of points. In this article, we will discuss the lines parallel to the same line and the theorem related to it with many solved examples. ## What is Meant by Lines Parallel to the Same Line? Theorem: Lines that are parallel to the same line are parallel to each other. It means that if two lines are parallel to the same line, then they will be parallel to each other. Now, let us check this theorem with the help of the below figure. From the given figure, we can say that line m is parallel to line l and line n is parallel to line l. (i.e) line m || line l and line n || line l. Also, “t” is the transversal for the lines l, m and n. Therefore, we can say that ∠1 = ∠2 and ∠1 = ∠3. (By corresponding angles axioms). So, we can also say that ∠2 and ∠3 are corresponding and they are equal to each other. Thus, ∠2 = ∠3 By using the converse of corresponding angle axioms, we conclude that line m is parallel to line n. (i.e) Line m || Line n. Note: This property can be extended to more than two lines also. ### Solved Example Example: From the given figure, AB is parallel to CD and CD is parallel to EF. Also, given that EA is perpendicular to AB. Find the values of x, y and z, if ∠BEF = 55°. Solution: Given that AB|| CD, CD || EF, EA ⊥ AB, and ∠BEF = 55°. Therefore, y+ 55° = 180° (Interior angles on the same side of transversal ED) Hence, y = 180°-55°= 125° By using the corresponding angles axiom, AB || CD, we can say that x = y. Therefore, the value of x= 125°. Since, AB || CD and CD || EF, therefore AB || EF. So, we can write: ∠ FEA + ∠ EAB = 180° (Interior angles on the same side of transversal EA) 55° + z + 90° = 180° z = 180° – 90° – 55° z = 180° – 145° z = 35° Therefore, the values of x, y and z are 125°, 125° and 35°, respectively. ### Practice Problems Solve the following problems: 1. From the given figure, AB ||CD and CD || EF and y:z = 3:7. Find the value of x. 2. From the given figure, if PQ || RS and ∠MXQ = 135° and ∠MYR = 40°, then find the value of ∠XMY.

# 2005 AMC 10A Problems/Problem 23 ## Problem Let $AB$ be a diameter of a circle and let $C$ be a point on $AB$ with $2\cdot AC=BC$. Let $D$ and $E$ be points on the circle such that $DC \perp AB$ and $DE$ is a second diameter. What is the ratio of the area of $\triangle DCE$ to the area of $\triangle ABD$? $\mathrm{(A) \ } \frac{1}{6}\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } \frac{1}{4}\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } \frac{1}{3}\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } \frac{1}{2}\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } \frac{2}{3}$ ## Solution 1 Let us assume that the diameter is of length $1$. $AC$ is $\frac{1}{3}$ of diameter and $CO$ is $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}$. $OD$ is the radius of the circle, so using the Pythagorean theorem height $CD$ of $\triangle AOC$ is $\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{6})^2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$. This is also the height of the $\triangle ABD$. Area of the $\triangle DCO$ is $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{36}$. The height of $\triangle DCE$ can be found using the area of $\triangle DCO$ and $DO$ as base. Hence the height of $\triangle DCE$ is $\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{36}}{\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{9}$. The diameter is the base for both the triangles $\triangle DCE$ and $\triangle ABD$. Hence, the ratio of the area of $\triangle DCE$ to the area of $\triangle ABD$ is $\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{9}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}}$ = $\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow C$ ## Solution 2 Since $\triangle DCE$ and $\triangle ABD$ share a base, the ratio of their areas is the ratio of their altitudes. Draw the altitude from $C$ to $DE$. $[asy] import graph; import olympiad; pair O,A,B,C,D,E,F; O=(0,0);A=(15,0);B=(-15,0);C=(5,0);D=(5,14.142135623730950488016887242097);E=(-5,-14.142135623730950488016887242097);F=(0.5555555555555555,1.5713484026367722764463208046774); draw(Circle((0,0),15)); draw(A--B);draw(D--E);draw(C--D);draw(C--E);draw(C--F);draw(A--D);draw(D--B); label("A",A,NE);label("B",B,W);label("C",C,SE);label("D",D,NE);label("E",E,SW);label("O",O,SW);label("F",F,NW); markscalefactor=0.2; draw(anglemark(C,F,D),blue);draw(anglemark(D,C,B),blue); [/asy]$ $OD=r, OC=\frac{1}{3}r$. Since $m\angle DCO=m\angle DFC=90^\circ$, then $\triangle DCO\cong \triangle DFC$. So the ratio of the two altitudes is $\frac{CF}{DC}=\frac{OC}{DO}=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow \text{(C)}$ ## Solution 3 Say the center of the circle is point $O$; Without loss of generality, assume $AC=2$, so $CB=4$ and the diameter and radius are $6$ and $3$, respectively. Therefore, $CO=1$, and $DO=3$. The area of $\triangle DCE$ can be expressed as $\frac{1}{2}(CD)(6)\text{sin}(CDE).$ $\frac{1}{2}(CD)(6)$ happens to be the area of $\triangle ABD$. Furthermore, $\text{sin} CDE = \frac{CO}{DO},$ or $\frac{1}{3}.$ Therefore, the ratio is $\frac{1}{3}.$

# Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle $x^2+(y-1)^2=4$ In the manner describe: a) One around clockwise starting at $(2,1)$ b) Three times around counterclockwise starting at $(2,1)$ This question aims to understand the parametric equations and dependent and independent variables concepts. A sort of equation that uses an independent variable named a parameter (t) and in which dependent variables are described as continuous functions of the parameter and are not dependent on another existent variable. When necessary More than one parameter can be used. Given that a particle moves around the circle having equation is $x^2+(y-1)^2=4$. Part a: $x^2+(y-1)^2=4$ is the path of the circle in which the particle moves in the manner once around clockwise, starting at $(2,1)$ $x^2+(y-1)^2=4$ $\dfrac{x^2}{4}+\dfrac{(y-1)^2}{4}=1$ $\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{(y-1)}{2}\right)^2=1$ $\cos^2t + \sin^2t =1$ is the parametric equation of the circle. As the circle is revolving once in the clockwise direction then the limit $t$ is $0 \leq t \leq 2\pi$ By comparing the two equations $\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)^2 +\left(\dfrac{(y-1)}{2}\right)^2 =1$and$\cos^2t +\sin^2t=1$. $\dfrac{x}{2}=\cos t\space\space and \space\space\dfrac{y-1}{2}=\sin t$ $x=2\cos t\space\space and\space\space y-1=2\sin t$ $x=2\cos t \space\space and\space\space y=1+2\sin t \space\space \epsilon\space |0, 2\pi|$ Part b: $x^2+(y-1)^2 =4$ is the path of the circle in which the particle moves in the manner three times around counter-clockwise, starting at $(2,1)$ $x^2+(y-1)^2=4$ The circle has a radius of $2$ and the center is at $(0,1)$. As the circle is revolving thrice, the $t$ is less than equal to $3(2\pi)$ that is, $0\leq t\leq 6\pi$ By comparing the two equations $\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{(y-1)}{2}\right)^2=1$ and $\cos^2t+\sin^2t=1$. $\dfrac{x}{2}=\cos t\space\space and \space\space\dfrac{y-1}{2} =\sin t$ $x =2\cos t\space\space and \space \space y-1= 2\sin t$ $x =2\cos t\space\space and \space \space y=1+2\sin t \space\space\epsilon\space |0, 6\pi|$ Part a: $x = 2\cos t \space \space and \space \space y = 1+2\sin t \space \space \epsilon \space |0, 2\pi|$ Part b: $x = 2\cos t \space \space and \space \space y = 1+2\sin t \space \space \epsilon \space |0, 6\pi|$ ## Example A particle moves along the circle. Find its parametric equation for the path in the manner halfway around counterclockwise starting at $(0,3)$. $x^2 + (y-1)^2 =4$ is the path of the circle in which the particle moves in the manner halfway around counter-clockwise, starting at $(0,3)$. $x^2 + (y-1)^2 =4$ point $(0,3)$ lies on the y-axis. $\dfrac{x^2}{4} + \dfrac{(y-1)^2}{4} =1$ $\left( \dfrac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \left( \dfrac{(y-1)}{2} \right)^2 =1$ $\cos^2t + \sin^2t =1$ is the parametric equation of the circle. As the circle is revolving in halfway around the counterclockwise direction, the limit $t$ is $\dfrac{\pi}{2} \leq t \leq \dfrac{\pi}{2} + \pi$ That is: $\dfrac{\pi}{2}\leq t \leq \dfrac{3\pi}{2}$ By comparing the two equations $\left( \dfrac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \left( \dfrac{(y-1)}{2} \right)^2 =1$ and $\cos^2t + \sin^2t =1$. $\dfrac{x}{2} = \cos t \space \space and \space \space \dfrac{y-1}{2} = \sin t$ $x = 2\cos t \space \space and \space \space y-1 = 2\sin t$ $x = 2\cos t \space \space and \space \space y = 1+2\sin t \space \space \epsilon \space |\dfrac{\pi}{2}, \dfrac{3 \pi}{2}|$
# Math VariablesProperties of Equality In Math, variables can appear in many formulas and expressions. They are usually letters of the alphabet, for example    a , b , x , y. As the name variable suggests, the value of these letters can vary. Variables can be assigned any value or set of values, the value or values aren’t known initially. In the expression   x + 3  =  5,       the variable is  x. Even though for an equation such as this one, the value of  x  can be seen to be only  2. It is still referred to as a variable. ## Math VariablesDependent/Independent A variable can be dependent or independent. With    y  =  2x + 6, x  is an independent variable, it could be assigned a range of values. However,  y  is a dependent variable. As the value of  y  depends on what value is given to  x. The value of  y  is dependent on the value of  x. ## Manipulating Expressions/Equations with VariablesProperties of Equality The  Polynomials  section and the  Linear Equations  section go into a bit more detail about manipulating expressions and equations to solve for variables. But this page will give a basic run through of some examples of how to approach finding the value of variables. Using some of the properties of equality. Say you have a variable in a basic equation labelled  x, to solve for this  x, we would want to structure the equation into the form  "x =". Examples of such situations using some of the properties of equality are shown below. Examples (1.1) If   a = b    then    a + c  =  b + c . 1)   x + 3  =  7  ,     can subtract  3  from both sides to have the form "x =". x + 33  =  73       =>       x  =  4 2)   x1  =  5  ,     can add  1  to both sides. x1 + 1  =  5 + 1       =>       x  =  6 (1.2) If   a = b    then    a × c  =  b × c . \\boldsymbol{\\frac{x}{2}}  =  8  ,   can multiply both sides by 2. \\boldsymbol{\\frac{x}{2}} × 2   =   8 × 2       =>       x  =  16 (1.3) If   a = b    then    \\boldsymbol{\\frac{\\mathbf{a}}{c}}  =  \\boldsymbol{\\frac{b}{c}} . 1)   4x  =  12  ,     can divide both sides by  4. \\boldsymbol{\\frac{4x}{4}}  =  \\boldsymbol{\\frac{12}{4}}       =>       x  =  3 2)   -2x  =  4  ,     can divide both sides by  -2. \\boldsymbol{\\frac{-2x}{-2}}  =  \\boldsymbol{\\frac{4}{-2}}       =>       x  =  -2 (1.4) If   a = b    then    a − b  =  0. 3x6  =  0   ,     can move  6  across, then divide. 3x  =  6       =>       \\boldsymbol{\\frac{3x}{3}}  =  \\boldsymbol{\\frac{6}{3}}       =>       x  =  2 (1.5) 2x  =  3 + x  ,     can move  x  across, to have the like terms on the same side. 2xx  =  3       =>       x  =  3 1.

# Question #b5882 Apr 10, 2017 $x = - \frac{22}{13}$ and $y = - \frac{29}{13}$ #### Explanation: Ill do the first one as an example, $x - 3 y = 5$ and $3 x + 7 y = 1$ The goal is to eliminate one of the variables so it is possible to solve for the other, $x - 3 y = 5$ equation 1 $3 x + 7 y = 1$ equation 2 Multiply the first equation by $3$, and subtract the first equation from the second equation. $3 x - 6 y = 30$ $3 x + 7 y = 1$ Subtracting the equations gives you, $- 13 y = 29$ $y = - \frac{29}{13}$ Now knowing $y = - \frac{29}{13}$, you can solve for $x$. Do so by subsituting the value for $y$ into equation 1. $x - 3 \left(- \frac{29}{13}\right) = 5$ $x + \frac{87}{13} = 5$ $x = 5 - \frac{87}{13}$ $x = - \frac{22}{13}$ Therefore, $x = - \frac{22}{13}$ and $y = - \frac{29}{13}$

Composite numbers have more than two contributing factors. Depending on how many factors they contain, numbers may be categorised. A number is a prime number if it only contains two factors: one and the number itself. The majority of numbers, known as composite numbers, include more than two components. ## Types of composite numbers There are two main types of composite numbers: ●       Odd composite numbers: All odd numbers that are not classified as prime numbers are odd composite numbers. The first few of them are 9,15,21,25,27 etc. ●       Even composite numbers: All even numbers except for 2 are composite numbers, because 2 is the only even prime number and always is a factor to the rest of the even numbers. The first few of them are 4,6,8,10,12,14 etc. ## Finding composite numbers The steps to determine if a particular number is prime or composite are as follows: ●       Find all positive integer’s factors. ●       If a number only contains the number one and itself as components, it is said to be prime. ●       A composite number is one with more than two factors. ## Properties of composite numbers ●       There are more than two components in composite numbers. ●       By their factors, composite numbers can be divided equally. ●       Every composite number has itself as a factor. ●       4, which is the lowest composite number. ●       For example,, where 3 and 5 are prime numbers, each composite number will have at least two prime numbers as its components. ●       Additionally, composite numbers can be divided by other composite numbers. ## Is 0 considered a composite number? Any number may be written as the product of two prime numbers, according to the fundamental principle of arithmetic. It wouldn’t work if 0 were a prime number since any integer multiplied by 0 would result in 0, giving it more than 2 factors. It cannot be written as a product of two primes if it were deemed composite since doing so would require multiplying by 0, which we have assumed to be the case. ## List of common composite numbers The list of composite numbers from 1 to 100 is 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100. ## Prime factorization of composite numbers Here is a list of all the composite numbers from 1 to 50, along with a breakdown of their prime factors. Here, you can see the prime factorization of the composites. To better understand, look at the table below. This table allows you to locate composites with prime factorizations that are more than 50. ## Are all composite numbers even? No not all composite numbers are even, the numbers that may be stated as the product of two or more prime numbers are known as composite numbers. Since we are assuming that all even numbers are composite numbers, 2 cannot be written as the sum of two or more prime numbers. All the odd numbers that have factors of odd prime numbers are composite numbers. ## Applications of composite numbers ●       In mathematics, the usage of composite numbers, or any whole integer that is not prime, is common. ●       In all areas of mathematics, the usage of composite numbers is utilised to explain shape, measure, determine how much of an object there is, and do arithmetic. ●       Numbers are used often in daily life, such as when purchasing or selling anything, paying for something, finding out the time, counting the number of runs the Indian cricket team scored during a match, counting the number of pupils seated in a classroom, calculating a student’s grades, etc. ●       A key to the code is required to decipher the encrypted data. Prime and composite integers are used in one of the most widely used encryption techniques. ●       The composite numbers, which are typically quite big, are used as codes. It is difficult to divide the composite number into its two prime elements since the number of prime numbers is unknown. ## Conclusion In this article we learnt about composite numbers and their different types. We learnt how to identify composite numbers and its properties. We also learnt about the differences between prime numbers and composite numbers, and we saw how prime factorization works and the factorization for composite numbers till 50. Composite numbers are a category of numbers we use in everyday life scenarios and are a major type of numbers. ## Sample examples Example 1: Find if 456 is a composite number Solution 1: The factors to 456 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456 Since the integer has factors other than 1 and itself it is a composite number. Example 2: What is the prime factorization of 78? Solution 2: The prime factors of 78 is . Example 3: Find if the product of the first 5 prime numbers is composite. Solution 3: The first 5 prime numbers are:2,3,5,7,11. The product is , and we can see the factors include other factors apart from 1 and the number itself, therefore, the product is composite. Example 4: Identify the composite numbers from the list given, 2,4,56,57,89,768,404,77. Solution 4: 2,57,89 are prime numbers. 4,56,768,404,77 are composite numbers with factors 1, 2, 4; 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 768; 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404; 1, 7, 11, 77; respectively. Example 5: What is the largest composite number between 1 and 100 with only odd numbers in its prime factorization. Solution 5: The largest composite number with only odd numbers in the factorization is 99 with the factorization as . ## FAQs 1. What are consecutive composite numbers? Ans: Composite numbers that follow one another in a straight line without a prime number in between are said to be consecutive composite numbers. The initial few consecutive composite numbers, for instance, may be presented as 4, 6, 8, 9, etc. 2. Does 1 classify as a composite number? Ans: No, because 1 only has one component and does not include more than two. It is therefore neither prime nor composite. 3. What is the smallest composite number? Ans: Other than 1 and the number itself, a composite number consists of more than two components. In this case, the number 4 meets this requirement, and no other smaller number is composite. The lowest composite number is 4, which follows the requirements. 4. Can a number be both composite and prime? Ans: A number cannot be prime and composite at the same time. A composite number has more elements than a prime number, which only has 1 and itself as its factors. All natural numbers are either prime or composite, but not both, with the exception of 1 which is neither. 5. What is the only even number that is not composite? Ans: 2 is the only even prime number since it has only 1 and itself as its factors. ## References Pradhan, J. B. (2019).

# Represent an Inequality as an Interval on a Number Line Learning Outcomes 1. Graph and inequality on a number line. 2. Graph the complement on a number line for both continuous and discrete variables. Inequalities come up frequently in statistics and it is often helpful to plot the inequality on the number line in order to visualize the inequality. This helps both for inequalities that involve real numbers and for inequalities that refer to just integer values. As an extension of this idea, we often want to look at the complement of an inequality, that is all numbers that make the inequality false. In this section we will look at examples that accomplish this task. ## Sketching an Inequality on a number line where the possible values are real numbers. There are four different inequalities: $$<,\:\le,\:>,\:\ge$$. What makes this the most challenging is when they are expressed in words. Here are some of the words that are used for each: • $$<$$: "Less Than", "Smaller", "Lower", "Younger" • $$\le$$: "Less Than or Equal to", "At Most", "No More Than", "Not to Exceed" • $$>$$: "Greater Than", "Larger", "Higher", "Bigger", "Older", "More Than" • $$\ge$$: "Greater Than or Equal to", "At Least", "No Less than" These are the most common words that correspond to the inequalities, but there are others that come up less frequently. Example $$\PageIndex{1}$$ Graph the inequality: $$3<x\le5$$ on a number line Solution First notice that the interval does not include the number 3, but does include the number 5. We can represent not including a number with an open circle and including a number with a closed circle. The number line representation of the inequality is shown below. Example $$\PageIndex{2}\ In statistics, we often want to find probabilities of an event being at least as large or no more than a given value. It helps to first plot the interval on a number line. Suppose you want to find the probability that you will have to wait in line for at least 4minutes. Sketch this inequality on a number line. Solution First, notice that "At Least" has the symbol \(\ge$$. Thus, we have a closed circle on the number 4. There is no upper bound, so we draw a long arrow from 4 to the right of 4. The solution is shown below Example $$\PageIndex{3}$$ Another main topic that comes up in statistics is confidence intervals. For example in recent poll to see the percent of Americans who think that Congress is doing a good job found that a 95% confidence interval had lower bound of 0.18 and an upper bound of 0.24. This can be written as [0.18,0,24]. Sketch this interval on the number line. Solution The first thing we need to do is decide on the tick marks to put on the number line. If we counted by 1's, then the interval of interest would be too small to stand out. Instead we will count by 0.1's. The number line is shown below. Example $$\PageIndex{4}$$ Often in statistics, we deal with discrete variables. Most of the time this will mean that only whole number values can occur. For example, you want to find out the probability that a college student is taking at most three classes. Graph this on a number line. Solution First note that the outcomes can only be whole numbers. Second, note that "at most" means $$\le$$. Thus the possible outcomes are: 0, 1, 2, and 3. The number line below displays these outcomes. ## Graphing the Complement In statistics, we often want to graph the complement of an interval. The complement means everything that is not in the interval. Example $$\PageIndex{5}$$ Graph the complement of the interval [2,4). Solution Notice that the complement of numbers inside the interval between 2 and 4 is the numbers outside that interval. This will consist of the numbers to the left of 2 and to the right of 4. Since the number 2 is included in the original interval, it will not be included in the complement. Since the number 4 is not included in the original interval, it will be included in the complement. The complement is shown on the number line below. Example $$\PageIndex{6}$$ Some calculators can only find probabilities for values less than a certain number. If we want the probability of an interval greater than a number, we need to use the complement. Suppose that you want to find the probability that a person will have traveled to more than two foreign countries in the last twelve months. Find the complement of this and graph it on a number line. Solution: First notice that only whole numbers are possible since it does not make sense to go to a fractional number of countries. Second note that the lowest number that is more than 2 is 3. If 3 is included in the original list, then 3 will not be included in the complement. Thus, the highest number that is in the complement of "more than 2" is 2. The number line below shows the complement of more than 2. Exercise Suppose you want to find the probability that at least 4 people in your class have a last name that contains the letter "W". To make this calculation you will need to first find the complement of "at least 4". Sketch this complement on the number line.
# Calculating with constant acceleration #### Prerequisites If we have a constant acceleration — the velocity is either increasing or decreasing at a uniform rate — then we can figure out a lot of useful stuff.  For this section, we'll assume that we are moving along a line.  We could be traveling back and forth, but we won't consider changes of the angle of our motion.  So we will drop the $\hat{i}$ or $\hat{j}$ that picks out which line we are traveling along and work only with one coordinate.  For convenience here, we will call it $x$. ## The velocity If the acceleration is constant, then the velocity is changing at a constant rate.  Our equation defining the acceleration is then $$a_0 = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$$ or $$a_0 = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{\Delta t}$$ where $v_1$ is our velocity at the beginning of the time interval (initial velocity) and $v_2$ is our velocity at the end of the time interval (final velocity). If we solve for the final velocity we get $$v_2 = v_1 + a_0 (t_2 - t_1)$$ Since we have selected particular times, everything in this equation is a  constant. But we can be choose one or more of them to turn back into a variable.  In particular, let's call $t_2$, "$t$", and treat it like an independent variable.  Then we can see what the velocity looks like as a function of time. The "final velocity", since it corresponds to the velocity at time $t_2$ will become a dependent variable, $v$. If this seems a little weird to you, get used to it.  In physics, since we tend to describe both general and specific situations, we will often let a constant "wander around", becoming a variable.  And we will often fix a variable at a specific value in order to have an equation apply to a specific situation. This gives us the equation for $v$ (which holds between time t1 and some later time t that is unspecified) $$v(t) = v_t + a_0 (t - t_1)$$ If we plot this velocity as a function of $t$, we get a figure that looks like the one at the left in the figures below.  If we want to figure out what the average velocity in that time interval is, we have to find the constant line so that the areas under the true velocity curve equals the area under the average velocity line (a constant).  We do this by adjusting the average velocity line so that the light pink area (the area no longer included) and the light blue area (the extra area now included) are equal. It's pretty clear both from thinking about how the velocity changes and from looking at the graph, that the average velocity is going to be halfway between the endpoints; that is,  if a is constant, then $$\langle v \rangle = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$$ Since we know that the definition of the average velocity is "that velocity which, if you go constantly with it, will produce the same displacement", we can see that if the acceleration is constant: $$\Delta v = a \Delta t$$ $$\Delta x = \langle v \rangle \Delta t$$ $$\Delta v = v_2 - v_1$$ $$\langle v \rangle = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$$ These 4 equations each have a clear and straightforward conceptual meaning and let you calculate whatever you need from whatever you know when the acceleration is constant. The tricky part sometimes, if remembering which equation works for $\Delta v$ and which for $\langle v \rangle$. It's easy to keep it straight if you keep the meaning of "change" and "average" in mind and think about what they would each be if the velocity were constant. Joe Redish 9/10/11 Article 332
## SEMICIRCLE In this page semicircle we are going to see how to find area and perimeter (circumference) of a semi-circle. To understand this topic much better we have given different kinds of example problems. Semicircle is exactly half the entire circle. Area of Semi-circle  = (1/2) Π r² Perimeter of semi circle = (Π + 2)r Here r represents the radius of the circle. Now let us see example problems based on the above formula. Example 1: Find the area of the semi-circle whose radius is 7 cm. Solution : Area of Semi-circle  = (1/2) Π r² Here r= 7 cm and Π = 22/7 =  (1/2) x (22/7) x 7² =  (1/2) x (22/7) x 7 x 7 =  1 x 11 x 7 =  77 cm² Example 2 : Find the area of the semi-circle whose radius is 3.5 cm. Solution : Area of Semi-circle  = (1/2) Π r² Here r = 3.5 cm and Π = 22/7 =  (1/2) x (22/7) x (3.5)² =  (1/2) x (22/7) x 3.5 x 3.5 =  1 x 11 x 0.5 x 3.5 =  19.25 cm² Example 3 : Find the circumference of the semi-circle whose diameter is 7 cm. Solution : r = diameter/2  ==>  r = 7/2  ==> r = 3.5 Now we can apply the formula Circumference of semi-circle = (Π + 2)r here r = 3.5 and Π = 22/7 =  [(22/7)  + 2]x 3.5 =  (22+14) x 0.5 =  36 x 0.5 =  18 cm Example 4 : Find the circumference of the semi-circle whose diameter is 42 cm. Solution : r = diameter/2  ==> r = 42/2  ==> r = 21 Now we can apply the formula Circumference of semi-circle = Πr here r = 21 and Π = 22/7 =  (22/7) x 21 =  22 x 3 =  66 cm Example 5 : Find the circumference of the semi-circle whose diameter is 56 cm. Solution : r = diameter/2  ==>  r = 56/2 ==> r = 28 Now we can apply the formula Circumference of semi-circle = Πr here r = 28 and Π = 22/7 =  (22/7) x 28 =  22 x 4 =  88 cm Related Topics Kindly mail your feedback to v4formath@gmail.com ## Recent Articles 1. ### Honors Algebra 2 Problems with Solutions (Part - 1) Aug 09, 24 08:39 PM Honors Algebra 2 Problems with Solutions (Part - 1) 2. ### Honors Algebra 2 Problems with Solutions (Part - 2) Aug 09, 24 08:36 PM Honors Algebra 2 Problems with Solutions (Part - 2)
ma006 ยป ## Adding Rational Expressions Like Denominators For this lesson, we're going to try our hand at adding rational expressions. We're going to draw upon our knowledge of adding fractions to figure that out. For example, if we wanted to add 3 11ths to 2 11ths, we would just add the numerators and keep the denominators the same. We would get a total of 5 11ths. Keep in mind we can only add or subtract two fractions whenever the denominators are like. Keeping this in mind, I want you to try and add these rational expressions together. This last one isn't addition though, it's subtraction. So you want to make sure you subtract the numerator. You'll also need to use your knowledge of simplifying rational expressions for these two problems. Try your best, and don't worry if they're not right on the first try. ## Adding Rational Expressions Like Denominators Here are the correct answers. Fantastic work if you got at least one of those correct. If either of these problems are giving you trouble, then watch the solution and we'll figure it out together. To add these two fractions together, we simply add the numerators. 3 n and 2 n equal 5 n. We leave the denominator alone, so we have 5 n divided by 11. This problem is exactly like the one we saw before. It's just we needed to combine the like terms and our numerator first. For the second problem, we want to add the numerators a and b together, and keep the denominator the same. Since we have a plus b divided by a plus b, we know those reduce to 1. And finally, for this third one, we want to subtract a y from this numerator. So we'll have 2 y minus 1 minus 1 y, we subtract the like terms to get y minus 1 for our numerator. Now we want to factor our denominator to see if it can reduce with our numerator since our numerator has changed and it turns out that's a great move because we can factor and reduce and equivalence of 1. Y minus 1 divided by y minus 1 equals 1. This leaves us with the answer of 1 divided by y plus 2. If you got the first two, excellent work, and I know this one might of given you some trouble. ## Adding Fractions Unlike Denominators But what if we wanted to add these 2 fractions together? What do you think we could do? Well, adding these 2 rational expressions together is very similar to adding 2 fractions together. If the denominators are different, we need to change each fraction. By finding the lowest common denominator first. We know the lowest common denominator would be 90, the product of these factors. We multiply 1 10th by nine over nine, which is the missing factor from ten. 1 10th by 9 9ths is 9 90ths. For 1 18th we multiply by five over five. This is the missing factor for 18. So 1 18th time 5 5ths is 5 90ths. Now we add these 2 fractions just as we learned before. 9 plus 5 equals 14 and we have 14 90ths. These numbers are both even and so we can reduce them by 2. So these are a couple of fractions. ## The LCD of Rational Expressions with Unlike Denominators Now, that we've remembered how to add two fractions together, I want you to apply this method to figure out the LCD for these two fractions. What's the lowest common denominator? ## The LCD of Rational Expressions with Unlike Denominators Two K S squared is the lowest common denominator, great work if you found it. If you're wondering why that's true, it's because these two numbers share a common factor of two. Remember these variables are the placeholders of numbers so two times K would be a number and two time S squared would really be a number as well. We don't know what K is, but it's the other factor for this denominator. And the same is true for s squared. It's the other factor for 2 s squared. We multiply all these together to get 2 k s squared. Now I know I did a little bit of reordering in this situation, but we usually list the coefficient or number first. Then we list the variables in alphabetical order. ## Creating Equivalent Fractions with the LCD Now that we know that the LCD is 2ks squared. What should we multiply each of these fractions by in order to get new fractions with denominators of the LCD? Write your answers in these boxes. ## Creating Equivalent Fractions with the LCD Well, we should multiply the first fraction by s squared divided by s squared.This would give us s squared over 2ks squared. I know I multiply this first fraction by s squared divided by s squared. S squared is missing from the new denominator or our lowest common denominator. For the second fraction, we only need to multiply by k over k. 2s squared times k would give us our lowest common denominator. 2k s squared. Keep in mind that we're really just multiplying by a form of 1 in both of these cases. We're not changing the value of the fractions, we're just changing what they look like. ## Add Rational Expressions Like Denominators So, just like when adding fractions, we start out by finding the LCD or the lowest common denominator. Next, we multiplied each of these fractions by the missing factors of the lowest common denominator. That was the same for our actual numbers. Now, we're ready for the last step. Let's find the actual fractions that are equivalent and then find the sum. So, what are these two equivalent fractions? And then, what I want you to do is to find the sum of the two fractions and put that here. Good luck. ## Add Rational Expressions Like Denominators For the first fraction we'll have s squared for a numerator and 2 k s squared for the denominator. For the second fraction we'll have k for a numerator and 2 k s squared for the denominator. And now we're ready to add these two fractions together. We add the numerators together, just like from before and then keep the denominator the same. Be careful that you don't multiply these two numbers together. We really just have s squared plus k. We don't multiply them, since we're adding. ## The LCD and Adding Rational Expressions So whenever we want to add rational expressions together we should find the lowest common denominator of our fractions. The lowest common denominator is the product of all of the different factors that appear in each denominator. Keep in mind that we want to take the highest power of any factor that appears in a denominator. We're not going to jump into the entire process yet. Let's just get comfortable with this first step of finding the lowest common denominator. ## Finding the LCD 1 What LCD or lowest common denominator would we need in order to add these two fractions together? Now, we aren't going to actually add the two fractions together since we're just getting comfortable with the first step. What do you think the LCD would be? Write it here. ## Finding the LCD 1 If we had a binomial or trinomial in these denominators, we would want to factor them first. But since these are monomials, we can use our factor tree method to figure out what they share. I know 9 and 15 share a common factor of 3, and the a's share a common factor of 1a. The highest power of b that's in common is b squared. So 3ab squared is my greatest common factor. The other factor for this denominator is 3a squared. If we multiply these two together, we'll get our original denominator. Whereas for this fraction, the missing factor is 5b squared, if I multiply these two together we'll get 15, 3 times 5, a, and then b squared times b squared or b to the fourth. We multiply all these factors together to get our LCD. So our lowest common denominator is 3 times 3 times 5, which is 45 and then a squared time a which is a cubed, and b squared times b squared which b to the fourth. I said earlier that you want to use the highest power of any factor for the lowest common denominator. Notice that we have a cubed in a. A cubed is the highest power in either denominator. So we want to make sure that appears in our LCD. Likewise between b squared and b to the fourth, this fourth power is higher, so we know b to the fourth needs to appear in our LCD. This is a quick way you can check to make sure your variables or your factors are correct. ## Finding the LCD 2 Let's try another problem where we find the lowest common denominator. You'll need to factor these denominators first, since they're not just monomials. As a hint, your LCD will contain a constant and two binomials. And you'll want to make sure you leave it in factored form. I know you might not have seen this before, but I want you to give it a try. If you get stuck, there's always this solution. ## Finding the LCD 2 The LCD is 2 times u minus 3 times u plus 3. Fantastic work if you figured that one out. Again, I don't expect you to get that right on your first try, or even maybe at all. Let's see how we do it. We know u squared minus 9 is a difference of two perfect squares. So we can factor this as u plus 3 times u minus 3. So we can rewrite this first fraction like this. For the second denominator we have a common factor of 2. So we can factor that out. Now that we have factored denominators, we can use our factor tree method. These two denominators share a common factor of u minus 3, and the other factor for this one is u plus 3, while the other factor for this one is positive 2. And there it is. We multiply all these together to get 2 times u plus 3 times u minus 3, our LCD. ## Finding the LCD 3 Alright, here's our third and last example of trying to find the LCD. Remember we're not quite adding these two rational expressions together yet. We just want to get a common denominator since these two denominators are different. ## Finding the LCD 3 The lowest common denominator for these three fractions would be p minus 1 times p minus 2 times p plus 3, fantastic work for finding that one. First we factor this denominator to p minus 2 times p minus 1, we find factors of 2 that sum to negative 3. For our second denominator, we find factors of negative 6 that sum to positive 2, which are positive 3 and negative 2. Once our denominators have been factored, we're ready to use our factor tree. So we have p minus 1 times p minus 2 times p plus 3. This is our lowest common denominator. ## Equivalent Fractions Rational Expressions So why do we need to find the lowest common denominator? Well remember that we have to find a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions. In our very first example, we needed to have 90th in order to add these two fractions together. In the second example, we needed to have a common denominator of 2ks squared in order to add these two fractions together. Once we have a lowest common denominator, we multiply the numerator and the denominator in each fraction by the factors that are missing to change our fraction into an equivalent form. So for 18, it was missing a factor of five. So we multiplied by fraction by k over k. Since k is the missing factor. From 2s squared. When we multiply by k divided by k, we're really multiplying by 1, and we're changing our first fraction into its equivalent form. So let's go back to our third example of finding the LCD. We found the lowest common denominator for these two fractions, and it was p minus 1, times p minus 2, times p plus 3. Remember we want to change these two fractions to an equivalent form. So here's your question. What should we multiply each of these fractions by to get an equivalent fraction with a lowest common denominator of this? ## Equivalent Fractions Rational Expressions We multiply this first fraction by p plus 3 divided by p plus 3. The denominator here is missing a factor of p plus 3. This is the one factor we need in order to change our denominator into the LCD. For our second fraction we multiply by p minus 1 divided by p minus 1. And this denominator, p minus 1 is the missing factor we need in order to get the LCD. Now we multiply these two numerators together and these two denominators together this gives us our new first equivalent fraction. We do the same process for the second fraction to get this, these two denominators may look different but they really the same. We know the order of the factors don't matter because its multiplication. Now that the two fractions have like denominators, we can simply add the numerators together. We add the like terms. The p's and the constants. 1 p and 1 p would equal 2 p and positive 3 and negative 1 would equal positive 2. Now that we're here, we should ask ourselves, are we done? Well, we added two things in a numerator together, so we have a new numerator entirely. We want to see if we can factor it if possible, and it turns out we can. We can take out a 2, to have 2 times p plus another factor of p plus 1 does not appear in the denominator. So the answer is yes, we're done, and here's the addition of these two rational expressions. Now this is some algebra. ## Simplify the Sum So here's our guide, our steps that we could follow to add rational expressions together. First, we want to factor the denominators and find the LCD. Next, we multiply each fraction by the missing factors of the LCD to get equivalent fractions. Finally, we add the numerators together and then we check if we can simplify this by cancelling any factors. And again, don't make the mistake of canceling terms. We can't cancel these since this is addition in the numerator. We can only cancel factors. ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 1 Let's try adding these two rational expressions together an see if we can get the correct answer. We're not going to do all of the steps at once instead we're going to break it down into three pieces let's start with the first one. What do you think would be the lowest common denominator for these two fractions? Write your answer here. ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 1 We find the lowest common denominator by factoring each of these denominators first. The first denominator will have factors of x plus 2 times x minus 6, since factors of 12 that sum to negative 4 are positive 2 and negative 6. The factors for x squared minus 36 would be x minus 6 and x plus 6. This is just the difference of two perfect squares. We can see that both of the denominators share a common factor of x minus 6. So this is the factor they share, and we list it in the middle. The other factor of this denominator is x plus 2, and the other factor of this denominator is x plus 6. Finally, we just multiply all these factors together to get our lowest common denominator, right here. ## Add Rational Expressions Equivalent Fractions 1 We've completed step 1 and we found the lowest common denominator for these two fractions. Now we're ready to make equivalent fractions for each of these. What do we need to multiply this fraction by and this fraction by to get our new equivalent fractions? You can write the factors in these boxes. Good luck.. ## Add Rational Expressions Equivalent Fractions 1 We need multiply the first fraction by x plus 6 divided by x plus 6. We know that because this denominator is missing a factor of x plus 6. If we multiply the numerator and the denominator by x plus 6, we're multiplying by a form of 1, and we changed this denominator into our lowest common denominator. For the second fraction we need to multiply by x plus 2 divided by x plus 2. This denominator is missing our factor of x plus 2 to form the LCD. If you got these correct, excellent thinking. ## Add Rational Expressions Multiply 1 Now that we're changing each of these 2 fractions, I want you to multiply these numerators together and write your answer here. For the denominators, we don't want to multiply them out. We just want to list the factors. This is because we're going to add the numerators in the end. We'll refactor that if possible and see if we can cancel any factors in the numerator and denominator of our final answer. ## Add Rational Expressions Equivalent Multiply 1 Six x plus 36, and five x plus ten, are our new numerators. Great work if you found those two. We know we're really just distributing the six to the x and the six. So six times x is six-x. And six times six is 36. For this new numerator, we're distributing the five times x, which is five-x. And 5 times 2 which is 10. So, 5x plus 10 is our new numerator. ## Add Rational Expressions Final Sum 1 First we found the LCD and then we changed each fraction by multiplying by the missing factors of the LCD. Now that we've converted this fraction and this fraction into new fractions that have common denominators. What would the sum be? Write the numerator here and the denominator here. ## Add Rational Expressions Final Sum 1 we would get 11X plus 46 divided by the factors x plus 2 times x minus 6 times X plus 6. Fantastic work if you just added these numerators together. When we add the numerators we just want to add the like terms, like 6X and 5X Which would equal 11x. Likewise we would add the constant terms. Positive 36 and positive 10 equal positive 46. So here's our numerator and here's our denominator. ## Simplify Further Well, the answer would be no. When we look at 11x and positive 46, we can think about the greatest common factor between them. That greatest common factor would just be 1. Because there's no other factor of 11x plus 46 in our denominator, we can't cancel this factor with anything down here. This is another reason why we want to leave the denominator in factored form. At the end, we should check to see if this is factorable and cancel any factors that appear in the numerator and denominator. ## Simplify a Different Sum But what if our sum, instead, was 11 x plus 22? What do you think our final answer would be this time? Now, I know this wasn't the sum for our last problem, but I want you to see if there's an extra step you need to do at the end. Sometimes you need to simplify further. Can you in this case? Write your answer here. ## Simplify a Different Sum It turns out we can. The numerator would be eleven and the denominator would be X minus six times X plus six. Great job, if you've figured that one out. When I look at this numerator and these two terms, I can see they share a common factor of eleven. If we factor eleven out of our numerator, we'll get eleven times X plus two. Now we can see this X plus two is a factor and the numerator. Add in the denominator, which means we can simplify. These factors cancel to 1, and we're left with 11 divided by x minus 6 times x plus 6. ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 2 Alright, now you try one on your own. I want you to add these two rational expressions together and remember to check to see if you can simplify your numerator and your denominator in the end. Make sure your numerator is multiplied out in the end, and make sure the denominator is in factored form. Have fun and good luck. ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 2 This was our final answer. Excellent work if you found it. We start by finding the lowest common denominator, which means that we have to factor this denominator and this one first. Factors of 24 that sum to positive 10 are positive 6 and positive 4, while the factors of negative 12 that sum to positive would be y plus 6 times y plus 4 times y minus 3. Next, we multiply each fraction by the missing factors of our lowest common denominator. For the first denominator, it's missing the factor y minus 3. So we multiply the numerator and denominator by y minus 3, since we're really just multiplying by 1. For the second fraction, we need to multiply by y plus 6 divided by y plus 6. When we multiply each of these fractions by a form of 1, we get two new equivalent fractions. We multiply these two numerators together, or these two binomials together, to get y squared minus 6y plus 9. And then here again, we multiply these two binomials together to get y squared plus 12y plus 36. We multiply these out, since we're adding our numerators in the end. The denominators, however, we can just leave in factored form since these won't change. When we add the like terms of our numerators together, we get 2y squared from 1y squared and 1y squared. We get positive 6y, from negative 6y and positive 12y. And we get 45 from positive 9 and positive 36. And finally, we want to check to see if this is factorable, to see if we can cancel a factor in the numerator and denominator. We find factors of 90 that sum to positive 6. When I look at the positive factors of 90, these are the factor pairs. None of these add to positive 6. So I know this numerator is not factorable. Since we cant factor this numerator, we actually have our final answer. None of these add to positive ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 3 For our third practice problem, I want to you to try to add these two rational expressions together. Write your answer here. ## Add Rational Expressions Practice 3 This was the correct answer. Fantastic job if you found it. Now if you got stuck along the way, it might of been at this denominator that gave you trouble. Let's see how we can find our lowest common denominator first. This denominator factors to x plus 2 times x minus 1. And then this denominator is actually the difference of two perfect squares. So we can factor it as X plus 1 times X minus that in the middle for our factor tree method. The other factor's on the outside and then we multiply all of them together to get our lowest common denominator. X plus 2 times X minus 1. Times x plus 1. Next we want to turn each of these fractions into an equivalent fraction with the lowest common denominator. This first denominator is missing the factor x plus 1. So we multiply the numerator and denominator by it. The second fraction is missing the factor x plus 2. For this numerator we're multiplying 2 binomials together and we get x squared minus x minus 2. For the second fraction we're[INAUDIBLE] this 3, the quantity x plus added our numerators together we have a new numerator. And we should always ask ourselves can we factor this? If we can factor this then we'll be able to simplify another factor in the numerator and denominator. But in this case, this numerator can't be factored. There are no factor pairs of 4 that sum to positive ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 1 To subtract this fraction, we're going to distribute this negative sign to every term in the numerator. We know subtraction is the same as adding the opposite. And in this case, we only had to change the sign of one term, the positive 3. If there were more terms in the numerator, we would want to change the sign or distribute the negative 1 to each of those terms. Now, we're in familiar territory. We know how to add two rational expressions with different denominators. First, we'll find the LCD, create equivalent fractions, and finally, add the numerators together and check to see if we can simplify. So, you give this one a shot. What would be the final answer? ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 1 This would be our solution, great work if you found it. We want to start by finding the lowest common denominator, so we should factor each of these denominators. We factored this denominator to be m plus 1 times m minus 5. This denominator, we'll need to use factoring by grouping. You need to find factors of 30 that sum to negative 13. Those factors are negative 3 and negative 10. They multiply to give us positive 30, and they add or sum to give us negative multiply our first fraction by the missing factor of two m minus three, whereas we multiply our second fraction by the missing factor of m plus one. And remember, we're really just multiplying by a one here and a one here. We're changing these fractions into equivalent forms. We distribute m to 2m minus 3 to get the first numerator, 2m squared minus 3m. Next, we distribute the negative 3 to the m plus 1. We'll get negative 3m and negative 3. Now, we want to add the two numerators together and keep our denominator the same. The like terms in these numerators are negative 3m and negative 3m. So we have 2 m squared, minus want to find factors of -6, that's sum to -6. Well there are no factor pairs of -6 that sum to you -6. So we're finished. So really subtracting rational expressions is not that different from adding them. We just want to make sure we remember to distribute the negative sign. ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 2 Okay, try this one on your own. Subtract these two rational expressions and write your numerator here and your denominator here. Good luck. ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 2 To subtract the second rational expression we really want to add the opposite. We want to distribute our subtraction sign to each term in the numerator which gives us a negative 1. Now we factor each denominator and try to find the lowest common denominator between the two fractions. The lowest common denominator is x minus 1 times x minus 1 times x plus 1. We know this since these two denominators share a common factor of x minus 1. The other factor for this denominator is x minus 1. And the other factor for this denominator is x plus 1. We multiply each fraction by the missing factors of the lowest common denominator. For the first fraction, we distribute 6x to the quantity x plus 1. We'll get 6x squared plus 6x. For this second fraction, we'll have negative 1 times the quantity x minus 1. We really just changed these two signs. So we'll have negative x plus 1. Now that we have two fractions with common denominators We can add the numerators together. We just add the like terms. When we add the like terms of 6x and negative x together we'll get 6x squared plus 5x plus 1. Now remember, we have a new numerator here. And let's see if we can factor it. We want factors of positive 6 that's sum to 5. Well yes that would be 3 and 2. This would be the factored form if we use factoring by grouping. But notice that this doesn't help us out. None of these factors appears in our denominator. We can't simply any more. I final answer would be 6 x squared plus 5 x plus 1. Divided by the factors of this denominator. ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 3 Try this third subtraction problem now. Be sure you distribute this negative sign to each term in our numerator. Then, you'll have an addition problem and you can proceed as usual. Good luck. You'll also want to get the most simplified answer. Multiply out your numerator and then leave your denominator in factored form. ## Subtract Rational Expressions Practice 3 Here's our answer. Great algebra skills if you found that one out. First we distribute our negative sign to each term in our numerator. So we'll have plus negative two b plus five. Make sure you change that sign there. Next we find the lowest common denominator, which is b plus two, times b minus two, times b plus five. Next we multiply each fraction by a form of one. This denominator was missing b plus 5, and this denominator was missing b plus 2. Next we multiply these two numerators together, to get b squared plus 8b plus 15. For the second equivalent fraction, we'll multiply negative 2b plus 5, times b plus 2. This gives us this trinomial, and finally we add the like terms of each numerator together. B squared and negative 2b squared equals negative 1b squared. 8b and positive b equal 9b and 15 and 10 equal 25. So this is our final answer. We also know that this is our final answer because we can't factor this enumerator further. There are no factors of negative 25. That's sum to positive nine. I hope you've gained a lot of practice with adding and subtracting rational expressions.

For a regular pentagon with successive vertices A, B, C, D, E, if P is any point on the circumcircle between points B and C, then PA + PD = PB + PC + PE. 2 John Conway labels these by a letter and group order. After forming a regular convex pentagon, if one joins the non-adjacent corners (drawing the diagonals of the pentagon), one obtains a pentagram, with a smaller regular pentagon in the center. Steps 6–8 are equivalent to the following version, shown in the animation: This follows quickly from the knowledge that twice the sine of 18 degrees is the reciprocal golden ratio, which we know geometrically from the triangle with angles of 72,72,36 degrees. [5] Consequently, this construction of the pentagon is valid. Repeat #8, adding a side until you find a pattern for the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon.

This point is joined to the periphery vertically above the center at point D. Angle CMD is bisected, and the bisector intersects the vertical axis at point Q. So, the measure of the central angle of a regular pentagon is 72 degrees. . Regular Polygons and Angle Relationships KEY 17. [6] This methodology leads to a procedure for constructing a regular pentagon. Regular Polygons. Starfruit is another fruit with fivefold symmetry. Work out angle ! in each case. Though the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon and irregular polygon with the same number of sides the same, the measure of each interior angle differs. This is true for both regular and irregular heptagons. First, to prove a pentagon cannot form a regular tiling (one in which all faces are congruent, thus requiring that all the polygons be pentagons), observe that 360° / 108° = 3​1⁄3 (where 108° Is the interior angle), which is not a whole number; hence there exists no integer number of pentagons sharing a single vertex and leaving no gaps between them. Only the g5 subgroup has no degrees of freedom but can be seen as directed edges. Putting together what is now known about equal angles at the vertices, it is easy to see that the pentagon ABCDE is divided into 5 isosceles triangles similar to the 36-108-36 degree triangle ABC, 5 isosceles triangles similar to the 72-36-72 degree triangle DAC, and one regular p… A pentagon is composed of 5 sides. where P is the perimeter of the polygon, and r is the inradius (equivalently the apothem). So, the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. {\displaystyle d_{i}} Mark the left intersection with the circle as point, Construct a vertical line through the center. We first note that a regular pentagon can be divided into 10 congruent triangles as shown in the, Draw a circle and choose a point to be the pentagon's (e.g. Regular polygon. None of the pentagons have any symmetry in general, although some have special cases with mirror symmetry. More difficult is proving a pentagon cannot be in any edge-to-edge tiling made by regular polygons: The maximum known packing density of a regular pentagon is approximately 0.921, achieved by the double lattice packing shown. [10] Full symmetry of the regular form is r10 and no symmetry is labeled a1. [16] As of 2020[update], their proof has not yet been refereed and published.

Quadrilateral Tessellations with GeoGebra For those who have access to The Geometer's Sketch… Therefore, a pentagon cannot appear in any tiling made by regular polygons. {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\sqrt {5}}/2} Rejecting cookies may impair some of our website’s functionality. A pentagon (five-sided polygon) can be divided into three triangles. You can only use the formula to find a single interior angle if the polygon is regular!. Considering a regular polygon, it is noted that all sides of the polygon tend to be equal. Tessellation Exploration: The Basics 2. Examples for regular polygon are equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon etc. The rectified 5-cell, with vertices at the mid-edges of the 5-cell is projected inside a pentagon. The top panel shows the construction used in Richmond's method to create the side of the inscribed pentagon. Furthermore, all the interior angles remain equivalent. 5 The reason for this is that the polygons that touch the edges of the pentagon must alternate around the pentagon, which is impossible because of the pentagon's odd number of sides. We can see triangle has no diagonals because each vertex has only adjacent vertices. A diagonalof a polygon is a segment line in which the ends are non-adjacent vertices of a polygon. The formula for calculating the size of an exterior angle in a regular polygon is: 360 \ (\div\) number of sides. The sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is SUM = (n-2)∙180° So for a pentagon, the sum is SUM = (5-2)∙180° = 3∙180° = 540° Since all interior angles of a regular pentagon are equal, we divide that by 5, and get 540°÷5 = 108° So each of the interior angles of the pentagon measures 108°. To determine the length of this side, the two right triangles DCM and QCM are depicted below the circle. Repeat the procedure to find the measure of each of the interior and exterior angles of a regular pentagon, regular hexagon, regular heptagon, and regular octagon as well as the exterior angle sum. When a regular pentagon is circumscribed by a circle with radius R, its edge length t is given by the expression. Mark one intersection with the circle as point. As the number of sides increase, the internal angle can come very close to 180°, and the shape of the polygon approaches that of a circle.

For example, the Myan number system used a symbol for zero, a dot for one or twenty, and a bar for five. 27 28 Number Systems There are many different number systems that have been used throughout history, and are still used in different parts of the world today. Sumerian wedge = 10, line = 1 Roman Numerals 28 29 Our Number System Generally, we have 10 fingers and 10 toes. This makes it very easy to count to ten. Many historians believe that this is where our number system came from. Base ten. 29 30 Base Ten We have a base ten number system. This means that in a multidigit number, a digit in one place is ten times as much as the place to its right. Also, a digit in one place is 1/10 the value of the place to its left. 30 31 Base 10 How do you think things would be different if we had six fingers on each hand? 31 32 Powers of 10 Numbers can be VERY long. \$100,000,000,000,000 Wouldn't you love to have one hundred trillion dollars? Fortunately, our base ten number system has a way to make multiples of ten easier to work with. It is called Powers of 33 Powers of 10 Numbers like 10, 100 and 1,000 are called powers of 10. They are numbers that can be written as products of tens. 100 can be written as 10 x 10 or ,000 can be written as 10 x 10 x 10 or 34 Powers of The raised digit is called the exponent. The exponent tells how many tens are multiplied. 34 35 Powers of 10 A number written with an exponent, like 10 3, is in exponential notation. A number written in a more familiar way, like 1,000 is in standard notation. 35 36 Powers of 10 Powers of 10 (greater than 1) Standard Product Exponential Notation of 10s Notation x , x 10 x , x 10 x 10 x , x 10 x 10 x 10 x ,000, x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 37 Powers of 10 Remember, in powers of ten like 10, 100 and 1,000 the zeros are placeholders. Each place holder represents a value ten times greater than the place to its right. Because of this, it is easy to MULTIPLY a whole number by a power of 38 Multiplying Powers of 10 To multiply by powers of ten, keep the placeholders by adding on as many 0s as appear in the power of 10. Examples: 28 x 10 = 280 Add on one 0 to show 28 tens 28 x 100 = 2,800 Add on two 0s to show 28 hundreds 28 x 1,000 = 28,000 Add on three 0s to show 28 thousands 38 39 Multiplying Powers of 10 If you have memorized the basic multiplication facts, you can solve problems mentally. Use a pattern when multiplying by powers of 10. Steps 50 x 100 = 5, Multiply the digits to the left of the zeros in each factor. 50 x x 1 = 5 2. Count the number of zeros in each factor. 50 x Write the same number of zeros in the product. 5, x 100 = 5,000 39 40 Multiplying Powers of x 400 = steps 1.

Multiply the digits to the left of the zeros in each factor. 6 x 4 = Count the number of zeros in each factor. 60 x Write the same number of zeros in the product. 60 x 400 = 24,000 42 43 Multiplying Powers of x 70,000 = steps 1. Multiply the digits to the left of the zeros in each factor. 5 x 7 = Count the number of zeros in each factor. 3. Write the same number of zeros in the product. 43 44 Multiplying Powers of x 70,000 = steps 1.

Remember, a digit in one place is 1/10 the value of the place to its left. Take off as many 0s as appear in the power of 10. Example: 42,000 / 10 = 4,200 Take off one 0 to show that it is 1/10 of the value. 42,000 / 100 = 420 Take off two 0's to show that it is 1/100 of the value. 42,000 / 1,000 = 42 Take off three 0's to show that it is 1/1,000 of the value. 56 57 Dividing Powers of 10 If you have memorized the basic division facts, you can solve problems mentally.

# Newton’s Method 6.006 Intro to Algorithms Recitation 12 October 26, 2011 ## Newton’s Method Find root of f ( x ) = 0 through successive approximation e.g., f ( x ) = x 2 − a x i x i+1 y = f(x) Figure 1 : Newton’s Method. Tangent at ( x i , f ( x i )) is line y = f ( x i ) + f 0 ( x i ) · ( x − x i ) where f 0 ( x i ) is the derivative. x i +1 = intercept on x-axis x i +1 = x i − f ( x i ) f 0 ( x i ) ### Square Roots We want to find the square root of a number Newton’s Method, so that our answer x a through successive approximation using will converge on a 1 / 2 . It looks like f ( x ) = a 1 / 2 − x has a root at x = a 1 / 2 . Let’s try to use it with Newton’s Method. f ( x ) = f 0 ( x ) = χ i +1 = = = = a 1 / 2 − x 1 χ i − f ( χ i ) f 0 ( χ i ) a 1 / 2 χ χ i χ i + a 1 / 2 1 χ i a 1 / 2 The choice of this function was unsuccessful, since we’re unable to compute Let’s try squaring both sides of x = x i +1 using x i . a 1 / 2 . This time, it looks like we get something usable: 1 6.006 Intro to Algorithms Recitation 12 October 26, 2011 f ( x ) = x 2 − a χ i +1 = χ i ( χ i 2 − a ) 2 χ i = a χ i + χ i 2 ### Error Analysis of Newton’s Method Suppose X n = √ a · (1 + n ) n may be + or - Then, X n +1 = = = = = X n + a/X n 2 a (1 + n ) + √ a a (1+ n ) 2 p ( a ) (1 + n ) + 1 (1+ n ) p p ( ( a a ) ) 2 + 2 n 2 + n 2 2(1 + n 2 n ) 1 + 2(1 + n ) Therefore, n +1 = n 2 2(1 + n ) Quadratic convergence, as ] correct digits doubles each step. ### Complexity of Computing Square Roots We apply a first level of Newton’s method to solve f ( x ) = x 2 − a . Each iteration of this first level requires a division. If we set the precision to d digits right from the beginning, then convergence at the first level will require lg d iterations. This means the complexity of computing a square root will be Θ( d α lg d ) if the complexity of multiplication is Θ( d α ) , given that we have shown that the complexity of division is the same as the complexity of multiplication. However, we can do better, if we recognize that the number of digits of precision we need at beginning of the first level of Newton’s method starts out small and then grows. If the complexity of a d -digit division is Θ( d α ) , then a similar summation to the one above tells us that the complexity of computing square roots is Θ( d α ) . 2 6.006 Intro to Algorithms Recitation 12 October 26, 2011 ### Termination χ i + b a/χ i c Iteration: χ i +1 = b c 2 Do floors hurt? Does program terminate? ( α and β are the fractional parts below.) Iteration is χ i +1 = = χ i + χ i + a χ i 2 a χ i 2 α β γ where γ = α 2 + β and 0 γ < 1 Since a + b √ ab, χ i 2 won’t stay stuck above if + 2 i a χ i < 1 √ a , so subtracting γ (good initial guess). always leaves us ≥ b √ a c . This ### Cube Roots Now that we’ve seen square roots, let’s calculate cube roots. This time, x a 1 / 3 , instead. We can use f ( x ) = a − x 3 : will converge on f ( x ) = x 3 f 0 ( x ) = 3 x 2 − a χ i +1 = = = χ i − f ( χ i ) f 0 ( χ i ) χ i 1 3 χ i − a χ 2 i 2 3 χ i + 1 a 3 χ 2 i 3 6.006 Intro to Algorithms Recitation 12 October 26, 2011 Suppose x i +1 Then, = a 1 / 3 · (1 + i ) i may be + or - χ i +1 = = = = = = = 2 3 χ i + 1 a 3 χ 2 i 2 a 3 1 / 3 (1 + i ) + 1 a 3 ( a 1 / 3 (1 + n )) 2 a 1 / 3 3 2(1 + i ) + (1 + 1 i ) 2 a 1 / 3 1 2(1 + 3 3 (1 + i ) 2 a 1 / 3 3 3 + 6 i + 6 1 + 2 i 2 i + 2 + 2 i a 1 / 3 3 + 3 2 i + 2 3 i 3 1 + 2 i + 2 i 3 i a 1 / 3 1 + 2 i + (1 + 2 3 3 i i ) 2 i + 3 2 i + 3 i ) + 1 Notice that the cubic term gets dominated by the quadratic term in the numerator, and that the denominator is very close to 1. Therefore, we have quadratic convergence here, just like in the square root case. The running time analysis is very similar to the square root case as well: the only difference is one additional multiplication in the denominator, so the running time stays the same as the running time of a multiplication. 4 MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Fall 201 1
Lesson Video: Work Done by a Constant Force | Nagwa Lesson Video: Work Done by a Constant Force | Nagwa # Lesson Video: Work Done by a Constant Force Mathematics In this video, we will learn how to calculate the work done by a constant force acting on a particle. 14:04 ### Video Transcript In this video, we’ll learn how to calculate the work done by a constant force acting on a particle. As we’ll see, this work done can be positive, negative, or zero. This has to do with the direction a particle moves compared to the direction of the force acting on it. To get started, let’s consider this situation of a box of some mass at rest on the ground next to a table. Say that we walk up to this box and then pick it up, applying a constant vertically upward force to do this. If we know the strength of that constant force, we’ll call it 𝐹, and the distance through which the box moved, we’ll call that 𝑑, then we can compute the work done on the box by our force 𝐹 according to this relationship. In this equation, 𝑑 is technically a displacement rather than a distance. That’s important because it means the direction of 𝑑 is taken into account. In this case of us lifting up the box, the fact that 𝑑 and 𝐹 are in the same direction means that the overall work that we do on the box during this process is positive. We can represent that like this. When we apply a constant force 𝐹 to lift a box up, and that box does indeed go up, then the work done on the box by the force 𝐹 is positive. In terms of its magnitude, it would be the magnitude of the force 𝐹 multiplied by this distance 𝑑. Next, let’s say that we place this box on top of the table. And let’s imagine further that this tabletop is smooth, that there’s essentially no friction between the box and the table. In that case, it would take literally no effort at all to push this box horizontally along the table. Here, the distance the box travels is to the right, while the force needed to create this motion is zero. This means that sliding our box across our smooth tabletop requires zero work. But now let’s imagine a third motion for this box. Say we catch the box at the other side of the table. And then applying the same vertically upward force as before on the box, this time, we let it move downward at a constant speed under the force of gravity. Just like before then, the force we apply points up. But now the box moves down instead of up. And because the force and the box’s displacement are in opposite directions, this means the work that our applied force 𝐹 does on the box is actually negative. As we’ve seen, the reason for this is that 𝐹 and 𝑑 are pointing in opposite directions. When it comes to work then, we do have this formula where we calculate work by multiplying 𝐹 and 𝑑. But we see that the outcome of this calculation depends on the relative directions of these two factors. And in fact, it’s only the parallel or antiparallel components of these factors that go into calculating work. For example, say that we applied a force in this direction on our box. If the box moved only horizontally, as a result of this applied force, then we could say that it’s only the horizontal component of this applied force that did any work. The vertical component did no work. And we can see this because in this vertical dimension, the distance traveled 𝑑 is zero. Now, it’s worth pointing out that even though we are talking about constant forces being applied to different objects, it’s still possible that this may accelerate the objects in question. For example, if we say that the floor, like our tabletop, is smooth so that this box slides frictionlessly across it, then that means there will be a nonzero net force in the horizontal direction. And this may remind us of Newton’s second law of motion, which says that the net force acting on an object in a given dimension equals that object’s mass times its acceleration in that dimension. All this to say the force in our work equation may be an individual force or it may be a net force, or they may even be the same thing. This shows us that when we talk about work, it’s important to be specific about what force is doing that work. Recall that when we were lowering our box from approximately here to here, the work we did by applying an upward force was negative because that force and the distance the box moved were in opposite directions. However, if we considered instead the work done by the force of gravity acting down on the box, in that case, we would have a downward-acting force with a downward-pointing distance. So the work done by gravity on the box would be positive. Let’s get some practice with these ideas now through an example. Calculate the work done by a force of 13 newtons acting on a body that moved 40 meters to the north if the force was acting towards the south. State your answer in joules. Okay, so if we say that north points upward, like this, and we imagine we’re looking down on some body from above, then we’re told that this particular body moves 40 meters to the north and that all throughout that motion the body is subject to a 13-newton force acting southward. We want to calculate the work done by this 13-newton force. We can recall that work is equal to force multiplied by displacement. Sometimes we hear this factor called a distance. But really, it’s important to keep in mind the direction of our object’s motion. A good example of that is our current situation. If we consider the northern direction to be positive, then we would say our body’s total displacement is positive 40 meters. This implies though that the southern direction is considered negative. And so we would say that the 13-newton force, we’ll call it 𝐹, is negative 13 newtons. All this means that when we use this value of 𝐹 and 𝑑 in our equation for work, we have negative 13 newtons being multiplied by positive 40 meters. A newton times a meter is a joule. And so our answer comes out to negative 520 joules. This is the work done by the 13-newton force acting on this body. Now let’s look at an example involving Newton’s second law of motion. A force acted on a body of mass 400 grams which had been at rest, causing it to accelerate at 36 centimeters per second squared. If the work done by this force was 0.72 joules, find the distance the body moved. Alright, so let’s say that this is our body, which starts out at rest, and then a force is applied to it. So it starts to accelerate. And we’ll call this acceleration 𝑎. We’re told the mass of our body, we’ll call that 𝑚, as well as the work done on it, we’ll call it 𝑊, by this force. Knowing that this work was done while the body moved across some distance, we’ll call it 𝑑, it’s that distance we want to solve for. To start doing this, we can recall that work is equal to force multiplied by distance. Strictly speaking, this 𝑑 is a displacement. But in this case, we can treat it as a distance, a quantity with no direction associated with it. Along with this equation for work, we can recall Newton’s second law of motion. It tells us that the net force acting on an object is equal to that object’s mass multiplied by its acceleration. In this exercise, we’re told that this force that acts on our body is what causes it to accelerate at this given rate. This means the force does represent the net force acting on the body. And so we can replace 𝐹 in our equation for work with 𝑚 times 𝑎 from Newton’s second law. In this equation, it’s the distance 𝑑 that we want to solve for. If we divide both sides of the equation by 𝑚 times 𝑎, those factors cancel on the right. And we find that 𝑑 equals 𝑊 over 𝑚 times 𝑎. If we substitute in the given values of 𝑊, 𝑚, and 𝑎, we find that, because of the units involved, we’re not quite ready to calculate 𝑑. We’ll want to convert the mass of our body to the SI base unit of kilograms and our body’s acceleration to units of meters per second squared. Recalling that 1,000 grams equals one kilogram and that 100 centimeters is one meter, we can write an equivalent expression in updated units like this. Our body’s mass is 0.400 kilograms, while its acceleration is 0.36 meters per second squared. At this point, all of our units agree. So we can calculate 𝑑. We find it to equal exactly five meters. This is the distance our body moved while accelerating under the given conditions. Let’s look now at another example. A construction worker of mass 100 kilograms is carrying some bricks up a ladder of height 15 meters. If the work done by the construction worker in climbing the ladder is 20,433 joules, find the mass of the bricks. Take 𝑔 to equal 9.8 meters per second squared. Okay, so let’s say that this is our ladder, which we’re told has a height we’ll call ℎ of 15 meters, and that on this ladder there’s a construction worker with a mass we’ll call 𝑚 sub 𝑐, who has climbed all the way to the top carrying a load of bricks with a mass we’ll call 𝑚 sub 𝑏. Knowing that this construction worker did 20,433 joules of work in climbing this ladder with this load of bricks, we want to determine the mass of the bricks, 𝑚 sub 𝑏. If we think about the combined mass involved, the mass of the bricks plus the mass of the construction worker, we know that this total mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity is equal to the weight force that acts on this worker. But then, over against this force, the construction worker is able to climb up a height of 15 meters. We can say then that the magnitude of the force the construction worker exerts, we’ll call it 𝐹 sub 𝑐, is equal to this total mass times 𝑔. At this point, we can recall that the work done by a given force 𝐹 is equal to that force multiplied by the displacement of an object on which the force acts. In our case, our body’s displacement is the height of our ladder ℎ, while the force involved is the sum of the masses of the bricks and the construction worker times 𝑔. Therefore, we can write this expression for the work done by the construction worker. Recalling that it’s 𝑚 sub 𝑏 that we want to solve for, we divide both sides of the equation by 𝑔 times ℎ. Those factors then are canceled on the right. And following that, we subtract 𝑚 sub 𝑐, the mass of the construction worker, from both sides. That results in this equation for the mass of the bricks. When we plug in for the values of 𝑊, 𝑔, ℎ, and 𝑚 sub 𝑐, we obtain a result of 39 kilograms. This is the mass of the bricks the worker carried to the top of the ladder. Let’s look now at one last example involving work. A man of mass 94 kilograms ascended a plane of length 90 meters, which was inclined at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. Determine the work done by his weight to the nearest joule. Take 𝑔 to equal 9.8 meters per second squared. Okay, so let’s say that this is our plane at 30 degrees to the horizontal. And there’s a man of mass 94 kilograms climbing up the plane. We’ll call that mass 𝑚. And we’re told that the length of the plane is 90 meters, which we’ll call 𝑙. We want to calculate the work done by this man’s weight to the nearest joule. We can say then that this man’s weight, his mass times the acceleration due to gravity, a downward-acting force, actually does work as this man climbs up the incline. That work is equal to the force involved, that is, the man’s weight force, multiplied by the vertical distance through which the man moves. That is, the distance we’ll use in our calculation won’t be the length 𝑙. But rather it will be this vertical distance 𝑑. That’s because this distance represents the only component of the length 𝑙, we could call it, that is parallel or antiparallel to the force involved. Here’s where we can start then. We know that the force for which we want to calculate work done is the man’s weight force, 𝑚 times 𝑔. Going a step further, since this 30-degree slope is part of a right triangle, we can say that the distance 𝑑 is equal to 𝑙 times the sin of 30 degrees. This is so because the sine of this angle is equal to the ratio of 𝑑 to 𝑙. Rearranging that relationship, we get that 𝑑 equals 𝑙 sin 30. Before we plug in the given values for 𝑚, 𝑔, and 𝑙, it’s important to set up a sign convention. Note that as this man climbs the incline, he moves upward vertically. This is in the opposite direction to his weight force, which acts down. To make sure that we combine quantities correctly, let’s say that one of these directions is positive, making the other negative. If we say that the upward direction is positive, then that means the value of 𝑙 times the sin of 30 degrees is positive. But then that means that 𝑚 times 𝑔, which is directed downward, must be negative. The point here is that the force involved, the man’s weight force, is acting in an opposite direction to the displacement 𝑑. The net effect of this is that the work done by this weight force will be negative. Now that we’ve figured out the signs, we’re ready to substitute in for 𝑚, 𝑔, and 𝑙. The man’s mass is 94 kilograms, 𝑔 is 9.8 meters per second squared, and 𝑙 is 90 meters. Entering this expression on our calculator, we get a result, to the nearest joule, of negative 41,454 joules. This, to the nearest joule, is the work done by this man’s weight as he ascends this plane. Let’s finish up now by summarizing a few key points. In this video, we’ve seen that the work done by a constant force 𝐹 on some object is equal to the product of that force and the displacement that the object undergoes. For both 𝐹 and 𝑑, the direction is very important. In general, the work done by a constant force can be positive, negative, or zero. Lastly, we saw that it’s only the parallel or antiparallel components of 𝐹 and 𝑑 that contribute to the total work done by the force 𝐹.

In this section, we explore the algebraic properties of logarithms. Historically, these have played a huge role in the scientific development of our society since, among other things, they were used to develop analog computing devices called slide rules which enabled scientists and engineers to perform accurate calculations leading to such things as space travel and the moon landing. As we shall see shortly, logs inherit analogs of all of the properties of exponents you learned in Elementary and Intermediate Algebra. We first extract two properties from Theorem 6.2 to remind us of the definition of a logarithm as the inverse of an exponential function. Theorem 6.3. (Inverse Properties of Exponential and Log Functions) Let b > 0, b 6= 1. • ba = c if and only if logb(c) = a • logb (bx) = x for all x and blogb(x) = x for all x > 0 Next, we spell out what it means for exponential and logarithmic functions to be one-to-one. Theorem 6.4. (One-to-one Properties of Exponential and Log Functions) Let f(x) = bx and g(x) = logb(x) where b > 0, b 6= 1. Then f and g are one-to-one. In other words: • bu = bw if and only if u = w for all real numbers u and w. • logb(u) = logb(w) if and only if u = w for all real numbers u > 0, w > 0. We now state the algebraic properties of exponential functions which will serve as a basis for the properties of logarithms. While these properties may look identical to the ones you learned in Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, they apply to real number exponents, not just rational exponents. Note that in the theorem that follows, we are interested in the properties of exponential functions, so the base b is restricted to b > 0, b 6= 1. An added benefit of this restriction is that it eliminates the pathologies discussed in Section 5.3 when, for example, we simplified ( x2/3 )3/2 and obtained |x| instead of what we had expected from the arithmetic in the exponents, x1 = x. Theorem 6.5. (Algebraic Properties of Exponential Functions) Let f(x) = bx be an exponential function (b > 0, b 6= 1) and let u and w be real numbers. • Product Rule: f(u+ w) = f(u)f(w). In other words, bu+w = bubw • Quotient Rule: f(u− w) = f(u) f(w) . In other words, bu−w = bu bw • Power Rule: (f(u))w = f(uw). In other words, (bu)w = buw While the properties listed in Theorem 6.5 are certainly believable based on similar properties of integer and rational exponents, the full proofs require Calculus. To each of these properties of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule http://www.redorbit.com/news/space/73297/nasa_marks_35th_anniversary_of_first_moon_landing/ • 438 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions exponential functions corresponds an analogous property of logarithmic functions. We list these below in our next theorem. Theorem 6.6. (Algebraic Properties of Logarithm Functions) Let g(x) = logb(x) be a logarithmic function (b > 0, b 6= 1) and let u > 0 and w > 0 be real numbers. • Product Rule: g(uw) = g(u) + g(w). In other words, logb(uw) = logb(u) + logb(w) • Quotient Rule: g ( u w ) = g(u)− g(w). In other words, logb ( u w ) = logb(u)− logb(w) • Power Rule: g (uw) = wg(u). In other words, logb (uw) = w logb(u) There are a couple of different ways to understand why Theorem 6.6 is true. Consider the product rule: logb(uw) = logb(u) + logb(w). Let a = logb(uw), c = logb(u), and d = logb(w). Then, by definition, ba = uw, bc = u and bd = w. Hence, ba = uw = bcbd = bc+d, so that ba = bc+d. By the one-to-one property of bx, we have a = c + d. In other words, logb(uw) = logb(u) + logb(w). The remaining properties are proved similarly. From a purely functional approach, we can see the properties in Theorem 6.6 as an example of how inverse functions interchange the roles of inputs in outputs. For instance, the Product Rule for exponential functions given in Theorem 6.5, f(u+w) = f(u)f(w), says that adding inputs results in multiplying outputs. Hence, whatever f−1 is, it must take the products of outputs from f and return them to the sum of their respective inputs. Since the outputs from f are the inputs to f−1 and vice-versa, we have that that f−1 must take products of its inputs to the sum of their respective outputs. This is precisely what the Product Rule for Logarithmic functions states in Theorem 6.6: g(uw) = g(u)+g(w). The reader is encouraged to view the remaining properties listed in Theorem 6.6 similarly. The following examples help build familiarity with these properties. In our first example, we are asked to ‘expand’ the logarithms. This means that we read the properties in Theorem 6.6 from left to right and rewrite products inside the log as sums outside the log, quotients inside the log as differences outside the log, and powers inside the log as factors outside the log.1 Example 6.2.1. Expand the following using the properties of logarithms and simplify. Assume when necessary that all quantities represent positive real numbers. 1. log2 ( 8 x ) 2. log0.1 ( 10x2 ) 3. ln ( 3 ex )2 4. log 3 √ 100x2 yz5 5. log117 ( x2 − 4 ) Solution. 1. To expand log2 ( 8 x ) , we use the Quotient Rule identifying u = 8 and w = x and simplify. 1Interestingly enough, it is the exact opposite process (which we will practice later) that is most useful in Algebra, the utility of expanding logarithms becomes apparent in Calculus. • 6.2 Properties of Logarithms 439 log2 ( 8 x ) = log2(8)− log2(x) Quotient Rule = 3− log2(x) Since 23 = 8 = − log2(x) + 3 2. In the expression log0.1 ( 10x2 ) , we have a power (the x2) and a product. In order to use the Product Rule, the entire quantity inside the logarithm must be raised to the same exponent. Since the exponent 2 applies only to the x, we first apply the Product Rule with u = 10 and w = x2. Once we get the x2 by itself inside the log, we may apply the Power Rule with u = x and w = 2 and simplify. log0.1 ( 10x2 ) = log0.1(10) + log0.1 ( x2 ) Product Rule = log0.1(10) + 2 log0.1(x) Power Rule = −1 + 2 log0.1(x) Since (0.1)−1 = 10 = 2 log0.1(x)− 1 3. We have a power, quotient and product occurring in ln ( 3 ex )2 . Since the exponent 2 applies to the entire quantity inside the logarithm, we begin with the Power Rule with u = 3ex and w = 2. Next, we see the Quotient Rule is applicable, with u = 3 and w = ex, so we replace ln ( 3 ex ) with the quantity ln(3) − ln(ex). Since ln ( 3 ex ) is being multiplied by 2, the entire quantity ln(3)− ln(ex) is multiplied by 2. Finally, we apply the Product Rule with u = e and w = x, and replace ln(ex) with the quantity ln(e) + ln(x), and simplify, keeping in mind that the natural log is log base e. ln ( 3 ex )2 = 2 ln ( 3 ex ) Power Rule = 2 [ln(3)− ln(ex)] Quotient Rule = 2 ln(3)− 2 ln(ex) = 2 ln(3)− 2 [ln(e) + ln(x)] Product Rule = 2 ln(3)− 2 ln(e)− 2 ln(x) = 2 ln(3)− 2− 2 ln(x) Since e1 = e = −2 ln(x) + 2 ln(3)− 2 4. In Theorem 6.6, there is no mention of how to deal with radicals. However, thinking back to Definition 5.5, we can rewrite the cube root as a 13 exponent. We begin by using the Power • 440 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Rule2, and we keep in mind that the common log is log base 10. log 3 √ 100x2 yz5 = log ( 100x2 yz5 )1/3 = 13 log ( 100x2 yz5 ) Power Rule = 13 [ log ( 100x2 ) − log ( yz5 )] Quotient Rule = 13 log ( 100x2 ) − 13 log ( yz5 ) = 13 [ log(100) + log ( x2 )] − 13 [ log(y) + log ( z5 )] Product Rule = 13 log(100) + 1 3 log ( x2 ) − 13 log(y)− 1 3 log ( z5 ) = 13 log(100) + 2 3 log(x)− 1 3 log(y)− 5 3 log(z) Power Rule = 23 + 2 3 log(x)− 1 3 log(y)− 5 3 log(z) Since 10 2 = 100 = 23 log(x)− 1 3 log(y)− 5 3 log(z) + 2 3 5. At first it seems as if we have no means of simplifying log117 ( x2 − 4 ) , since none of the properties of logs addresses the issue of expanding a difference inside the logarithm. However, we may factor x2 − 4 = (x + 2)(x − 2) thereby introducing a product which gives us license to use the Product Rule. log117 ( x2 − 4 ) = log117 [(x+ 2)(x− 2)] Factor = log117(x+ 2) + log117(x− 2) Product Rule A couple of remarks about Example 6.2.1 are in order. First, while not explicitly stated in the above example, a general rule of thumb to determine which log property to apply first to a complicated problem is ‘reverse order of operations.’ For example, if we were to substitute a number for x into the expression log0.1 ( 10x2 ) , we would first square the x, then multiply by 10. The last step is the multiplication, which tells us the first log property to apply is the Product Rule. In a multi-step problem, this rule can giv

# How do you calculate the total resistance of a parallel circuit? ## How do you calculate the total resistance of a parallel circuit? The Effective Resistance of Resistors Connected in Parallel 1. There are three important characteristics in a parallel circuit: (a) The potential difference is the same across each resistor. (b) The current that passes through each resistor is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor. (c) The total current in the circuit equals to the sum of the currents passing through the resistors in its parallel branches. 2. When two or more resistances are connected between two common points so that the same potential difference is applied across each of them, they are said to be connected is parallel. When such a combination of resistance is connected to a battery, all the resistances have the same potential difference across their ends. 3. Derivation of mathematical expression of parallel combination: Let, V be the potential difference across the two common points A and B. Then, from Ohm’s law Current passing through R1,     I1 = V/R1             … (i) Current passing through R2,     I2 = V/R2           … (ii) Current passing through R3,     I3 = V/R3          … (iii) 4. If R is the equivalent resistance, then from Ohm’s law, the total current flowing through the circuit is given by, I = V/R                               … (iv) and I = I1 + I2 + I3           … (v) 5. Substituting the values of I, I1, I2 and I3 in Eq. (v), $$\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\text{V}}{{{\text{R}}_{\text{1}}}}+\frac{\text{V}}{{{\text{R}}_{\text{2}}}}+\frac{\text{V}}{{{\text{R}}_{\text{3}}}}\text{ }……..\text{ (vi)}$$ 6. Cancelling common V term, one gets $$\frac{\text{1}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\text{1}}{{{\text{R}}_{\text{1}}}}+\frac{\text{1}}{{{\text{R}}_{2}}}+\frac{\text{1}}{{{\text{R}}_{3}}}$$ The equivalent resistance of a parallel combination of resistance is less than each of all the individual resistances. 7. The equivalent circuit is shown in Figure. Important results about parallel combination: 1.  Total current through the circuit is equal to the sum of the currents flowing through it. 2.  In a parallel combination of resistors the voltage (or potential difference) across each resistor is the same and is equal to the applied voltage i.e. V1 = V2 = V3 = V. 3.  Current flowing through each resistor is inversely proportional to its resistances, thus higher the resistance of a resistors, lower will be the current flowing through it.
# Calculating The Number Of Days In 30 Years | Understanding Leap Years // Thomas Learn how to calculate the number of days in 30 years, including leap years. Understand the importance of knowing the total days for financial planning, project management, and historical analysis. ## Calculating the Number of Days in 30 Years Calculating the number of days in 30 years may seem like a daunting task, but fear not! We’ll break it down step by step to make it easy for you to understand. So let’s dive in! ### Days in a Year Before we can calculate the number of days in 30 years, let’s first understand how many days are in a single year. In most cases, a year consists of 365 days. However, there are exceptions to this rule, which we’ll explore in the next subsection. ### Leap Years Leap years are the exception to the standard 365-day year. These special years occur every four years and have an extra day, making them 366 days long. The additional day is added to the month of February, and it’s called a leap day. This adjustment is necessary to keep our calendar in sync with the Earth’s orbit around the sun. ### Calculation Formula Now that we know about leap years, let’s move on to the calculation formula for determining the number of days in a given number of years, including both regular and leap years. To calculate the days in 30 years, we’ll need to consider the following: 1. Regular years: Multiply the number of regular years (non-leap years) by 365. 2. Leap years: Multiply the number of leap years by 366. 3. Add the results of step 1 and step 2 together to get the total number of days. ### Example Calculation To illustrate the calculation formula, let’s take an example. Suppose we want to calculate the number of days in 30 years. First, we determine the number of regular years and the number of leap years within this period. Since a leap year occurs every four years, we have 7 leap years (30 divided by 4, rounded down) and 23 regular years. Next, we calculate the days in these years: – Regular years: 23 years multiplied by 365 days equals 8,395 days. – Leap years: 7 years multiplied by 366 days equals 2,562 days. Finally, we add the results together: 8,395 days (regular years) + 2,562 days (leap years) equals a total of 10,957 days in 30 years. Congratulations! You now know how to calculate the number of days in 30 years. This knowledge can come in handy in various scenarios, such as financial planning, project management, and historical analysis. So let’s explore why it’s important to have this information in the next section. ## Understanding Leap Years Leap years are an important concept to understand when calculating the number of days in a 30-year period. Let’s dive into the details of what leap years are, how they are calculated, and how many leap years occur in a 30-year span. ### Definition of a Leap Year A leap year is a year that contains an extra day, February 29th, making it 366 days instead of the usual 365. This adjustment is necessary to keep our calendar in sync with the Earth’s orbit around the sun. Without leap years, our calendar would gradually fall out of alignment with the astronomical year. ### Calculation of Leap Years The calculation of leap years follows a specific rule. A leap year occurs every four years, except for years that are divisible by 100. However, years that are divisible by 400 are still considered leap years. This rule ensures that the calendar remains accurate over long periods. To determine if a year is a leap year, we use the following criteria: 1. If a year is divisible by 4, it is a leap year. 2. If a year is divisible by 100, it is not a leap year, unless… 3. If a year is divisible by 400, it is a leap year. For example, the year 2020 is a leap year because it is divisible by 4. However, the year 1900 was not a leap year because it is divisible by 100 but not by 400. ### Leap Years in a 30-Year Period Now that we understand how leap years are calculated, let’s determine how many occur in a 30-year span. To do this, we divide the number of years by 4 and subtract any that fall within the divisible-by-100 exception. In a 30-year period, there are typically 7 leap years. However, it’s important to consider the exceptions. For example, if the 30-year period includes a year divisible by 100 but not by 400, we subtract one leap year from the total count. Calculating the number of leap years in a 30-year span allows us to accurately determine the total number of days in that period, taking into account both regular years and . Understanding leap years is crucial when performing various calculations related to time, such as financial planning, project management, and historical analysis. Now that we have a solid foundation on leap years, we can explore further aspects of calculating the number of days in a 30-year period. ## Calculation Method for Days in a Year ### Days in a Non-Leap Year In order to calculate the number of days in a non-leap year, we need to understand the basic structure of a calendar year. A non-leap year consists of 365 days, which are divided into 12 months. Most months have 30 or 31 days, except for February, which has 28 days in a non-leap year. To calculate the number of days in a non-leap year, we can simply add up the days in each month. Here is a breakdown of the days in each month: • January: 31 days • February: 28 days • March: 31 days • April: 30 days • May: 31 days • June: 30 days • July: 31 days • August: 31 days • September: 30 days • October: 31 days • November: 30 days • December: 31 days By adding up the days in each month, we can determine that a non-leap year has a total of 365 days. ### Days in a Leap Year A leap year, on the other hand, has one extra day compared to a non-leap year. This extra day is added to the month of February, making it 29 days instead of the usual 28 days. To calculate the number of days in a leap year, we can use the same method as for a non-leap year, but with a modification for the month of February. Here is the breakdown of the days in each month in a leap year: • January: 31 days • February: 29 days • March: 31 days • April: 30 days • May: 31 days • June: 30 days • July: 31 days • August: 31 days • September: 30 days • October: 31 days • November: 30 days • December: 31 days By adding up the days in each month, we can determine that a leap year has a total of 366 days. Knowing the calculation method for days in a year is essential for various purposes, including financial planning, project management, and historical analysis. It allows us to accurately estimate timeframes, allocate resources, and analyze trends over extended periods. ## Calculation Formula for Days in 30 Years ### Calculation Steps To calculate the number of days in 30 years, you need to follow a simple calculation formula. Here are the steps: 1. Start by determining the number of days in a year. This will depend on whether it’s a leap year or not, which we will explain in the next section. 2. Calculate the number of days in a non-leap year. Multiply the number of days in a non-leap year by the number of non-leap years in 30 years. 3. Calculate the number of days in a leap year. Multiply the number of days in a leap year by the number of leap years in 30 years. 4. Add the total number of days in non- and leap years together to get the final result. ### Example Calculation Let’s take a moment to illustrate the calculation with an example: 1. Number of days in a non-leap year: 365 days 2. Number of days in a leap year: 366 days Now, let’s assume we want to calculate the number of days in 30 years. • Number of non-leap years in 30 years: 30 – 6 (leap years) = 24 • Number of in 30 years: 6 Calculating the days in non-: 365 days x 24 years = 8,760 days Calculating the days in leap years: 366 days x 6 years = 2,196 days Adding the total number of days in non-leap years and leap years: 8,760 days + 2,196 days = 10,956 days Therefore, there are 10,956 days in 30 years. By following these calculation steps and using the example above, you can easily determine the number of days in any given 30-year period. This knowledge can be useful in various scenarios, as we will explore in the following sections. ## Importance of Knowing the Number of Days in 30 Years In our everyday lives, understanding the number of days in a 30-year period may not seem particularly important at first glance.

Vectors Some quantities can be described with only a number. These quantities have magnitude (amount) only and are referred to as scalar quantities. Scalar - a quantity which can be described with only a magnitude Quantities that are described with both a magnitude and a direction are called vector quantities. Vector - a quantity with both magnitude and direction 2. Vectors We can use a graphical method to help us picture vectors, and to allow us to understand how vectors are added and subtracted. We will represent vector quantities with arrows. The length of the arrow represents its magnitude, the arrow tip and the direction of the arrow represent the vector direction. tip tail The point of the arrow is referred to as the “Tip”. The non-pointed end is called the “Tail” 3. The length and direction gives all the info about a vector. Vectors A and B are completely equivalent. B = 12 m east A = 12 m east A = B Vectors A vector can be moved (translated) without changing it. As long as the length and direction do not change, the vector has not changed. 4. If vectors are to be worked with graphically, axes and an appropriate scale must be chosen. Suppose we are describing the motion of a bug walking on the ground. If the bug walks 12 m to the east, we call this the bug’s displacement. We would write this as A = 12 m east . Once we establish a coordinate system, we can represent this displacement vector with an arrow like the one below. N W E S Vectors A = 12 m east 5. Vector Addition The process of adding two or more vectors is called Vector Addition. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant vector. 6. N C B W E A S C = A + B Vector Addition “Triangle Method” of Vector Addition Steps for adding two vectors using the tip-to-tail method: 1) Draw the first vector (A) to scale, with its tail at the origin 2) Draw the second vector (B) also to scale, with its tail at the tip of the first vector 3) The resultant vector runs from the tail end of the first vector to the tip of the second vector. 7. N C B W E A S C = A + B “Parallelogram Method” of Vector Addition Vector Addition Steps for adding two vectors using the parallelogram method: 1) Draw the first vector (A) to scale, with its tail at the origin 2) Draw the second vector (B) also to scale, and also with its tail at the origin. 3) Starting at the tip of one vector, draw a dotted line parallel to the other vector. Repeat, starting from the tip of the second vector. 4) The resultant vector runs from the origin to the intersection of the two dotted lines. 8. Notice - whichever method you use, you get the same value for vector C ! N N C C B B W E W E A A S S C = A + B C = A + B Tip - to - Tail Method Parallelogram Method Vector Addition 9. N N B B W W E E C C A A S S A + B = C A + B = C Vector Addition The methods work no matter the direction of the original vectors. Tip - to - Tail Method Parallelogram Method 10. N N C D D B B W W E E C A A S S C + B + A = D A + B + C = D Vector Addition If you need to add more than two vectors, the tip-to-tail method is usually easiest. Note that the order the vectors are added does not affect the result. 11. A -A Vector Subtraction For any vector A, the vector -A is simply a vector equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to A. 12. Subtracting one vector from another is the same as adding a negative vector. A - B = A + (-B) addition: A + B A + B = C C B B -B -B A A A A subtraction: A - B A + (-B) = D D Vector Subtraction 13. N  C B W E A S C = A + B Tip - to - Tail Method Vector addition: Mathematical Method To add two perpendicular vectors mathematically, make a sketch of the two vectors you are adding, and use either graphical method to sketch their resultant. To find the magnitude of the resultant, use the Pythagorean theorem. To find the direction of the resultant, use an inverse trig function, for example: tan-1 Tan = B/A = tan-1(B/A) 14. N CN C W E CE S Finding Vector Components: Mathematical Method To break a vector down into perpendicular components, first make a sketch of the vector. Sketch dotted lines from the tip of the vector and parallel to each axis. Draw in the components, from the origin to the dotted line.  To calculate the magnitude of the components, use the sin and cos functions. Sin = CN/C C = CE + CN CN = C sin CE = C cos Cos = CE/C More Related

The solids that it is made up of are generally prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. In order to find the surface area and volume of a composite solid, you need to know how to find the surface area and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Finding the Volume of a Parallelogram-Based Prism Find the volume of the solid below. This solid is a parallelogram-based prism with a cylinder cut out of the middle. \begin{align*}V_{prism} &= (25 \cdot 25)30=18,750 \ cm^3\\ V_{cylinder} &= \pi (4)^2 (30)=480 \pi \ cm^3\end{align*} The total volume is \begin{align*}18750 - 480 \pi \approx 17,242.04 \ cm^3\end{align*}. Finding the Surface Area Find the surface area of the following solid. This solid is a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. Because it is one fluid solid, we would not include the bottom of the hemisphere or the top of the cylinder because they are no longer on the surface of the solid. Below, “\begin{align*}LA\end{align*}” stands for lateral area. \begin{align*}SA&=LA_{cylinder}+LA_{hemisphere}+A_{base \ circle}\\ & = \pi rh+ \frac{1}{2} 4 \pi r^2+ \pi r^2\\ & = \pi (6)(13)+2 \pi 6^2+ \pi 6^2\\ & = 78 \pi +72 \pi +36 \pi \\ & = 186 \pi \ in^2\end{align*} Finding the Volume Find the volume of the following solid.

First, we need to find the height of the pyramid portion. The slant height is 25 and the edge is 48. Using have of the edge, we have a right triangle and we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. \begin{align*}h=\sqrt{25^2-24^2}=7\end{align*} \begin{align*}V_{prism}&=(48)(48)(18)=41472 \ cm^3\\ V_{pyramid}&=\frac{1}{3} (48^2)(7)=5376 \ cm^3\end{align*} The total volume is \begin{align*}41472 + 5376 = 46,848 \ cm^3\end{align*}.

0 # What is (9 plus 15) plus divided by 3 plus 2? Updated: 9/27/2023 Wiki User 6y ago The rules given below transform a given number into a generally smaller number, while preserving divisibility by the divisor of interest. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the resulting number should be evaluated for divisibility by the same divisor. In some cases the process can be iterated until the divisibility is obvious; for others (such as examining the last n digits) the result must be examined by other means. For divisors with multiple rules, the rules are generally ordered first for those appropriate for numbers with many digits, then those useful for numbers with fewer digits. Note: To test divisibility by any number that can be expressed as 2n or 5n, in which n is a positive integer, just examine the last n digits. Divisor Divisibility condition Examples 1 Automatic. Any integer is divisible by 1. 2 The last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).[1][2]1,294: 4 is even. 3 Sum the digits.[1][3][4]405 → 4 + 0 + 5 = 9 and 636 → 6 + 3 + 6 = 15 which both are clearly divisible by 3. 16,499,205,854,376 → 1+6+4+9+9+2+0+5+8+5+4+3+7+6 sums to 69 → 6 + 9 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6, which is clearly divisible by 3. Subtract the quantity of the digits 2, 5 and 8 in the number from the quantity of the digits 1, 4 and 7 in the number. Using the example above: 16,499,205,854,376 has four of the digits 1, 4 and 7; four of the digits 2, 5 and 8; ∴ Since 4 − 4 = 0 is a multiple of 3, the number 16,499,205,854,376 is divisible by 3. 4 Examine the last two digits.[1][2]40832: 32 is divisible by 4. If the tens digit is even, and the ones digit is 0, 4, or 8. If the tens digit is odd, and the ones digit is 2 or 6. 40832: 3 is odd, and the last digit is 2. Twice the tens digit, plus the ones digit. 40832: 2 × 3 + 2 = 8, which is divisible by 4. 5 The last digit is 0 or 5.[1][2]495: the last digit is 5. 6 It is divisible by 2 and by 3.[5]1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible by 3 and the last digit is even, hence the number is divisible by 6. 7 Form the alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left.[6][4]1,369,851: 851 − 369 + 1 = 483 = 7 × 69 Subtract 2 times the last digit from the rest. (Works because 21 is divisible by 7.) 483: 48 − (3 × 2) = 42 = 7 × 6. Or, add 5 times the last digit to the rest. (Works because 49 is divisible by 7.) 483: 48 + (3 × 5) = 63 = 7 × 9. Or, add 3 times the first digit to the next. (This works because 10a + b − 7a = 3a + b − last number has the same remainder) 483: 4×3 + 8 = 20 remainder 6, 6×3 + 3 = 21. Multiply each digit (from right to left) by the digit in the corresponding position in this pattern (from left to right): 1, 3, 2, -1, -3, -2 (repeating for digits beyond the hundred-thousands place). Then sum the results. 483595: (4 × (-2)) + (8 × (-3)) + (3 × (-1)) + (5 × 2) + (9 × 3) + (5 × 1) = 7. 8 If the hundreds digit is even, examine the number formed by the last two digits. 624: 24. If the hundreds digit is odd, examine the number obtained by the last two digits plus 4. 352: 52 + 4 = 56. Add the last digit to twice the rest. 56: (5 × 2) + 6 = 16. Examine the last three digits[1][2]34152: Examine divisibility of just 152: 19 × 8 Add four times the hundreds digit to twice the tens digit to the ones digit. 34152: 4 × 1 + 5 × 2 + 2 = 16 9 Sum the digits.[1][3][4]2,880: 2 + 8 + 8 + 0 = 18: 1 + 8 = 9. 10 The last digit is 0.[2]130: the last digit is 0. 11 Form the alternating sum of the digits.[1][4]918,082: 9 − 1 + 8 − 0 + 8 − 2 = 22. Add the digits in blocks of two from right to left.[1]627: 6 + 27 = 33. Subtract the last digit from the rest. 627: 62 − 7 = 55. If the number of digits is even, add the first and subtract the last digit from the rest. 918,082: the number of digits is even (6) → 1808 + 9 − 2 = 1815: 81 + 1 − 5 = 77 = 7 × 11 If the number of digits is odd, subtract the first and last digit from the rest. 14,179: the number of digits is odd (5) → 417 − 1 − 9 = 407 = 37 × 11 12 It is divisible by 3 and by 4.[5]324: it is divisible by 3 and by 4. Subtract the last digit from twice the rest. 324: 32 × 2 − 4 = 60. 13 Form the alternating sum of blocks of three from right to left.[6]2,911,272: −2 + 911 − 272 = 637 Add 4 times the last digit to the rest. 637: 63 + 7 × 4 = 91, 9 + 1 × 4 = 13. Multiply each digit (from right to left) by the digit in the corresponding position in this pattern (from left to right): -3, -4, -1, 3, 4, 1 (repeating for digits beyond the hundred-thousands place). Then sum the results.[7]. 30,747,912: (2 × (-3)) + (1 × (-4)) + (9 × (-1)) + (7 × 3) + (4 × 4) + (7 × 1) + (0 × (-3)) + (3 × (-4)) = 13. 14 It is divisible by 2 and by 7.[5]224: it is divisible by 2 and by 7. Add the last two digits to twice the rest. The answer must be divisible by 14. 364: 3 × 2 + 64 = 70. 15 It is divisible by 3 and by 5.[5]390: it is divisible by 3 and by 5. 16 If the thousands digit is even, examine the number formed by the last three digits. 254,176: 176. If the thousands digit is odd, examine the number formed by the last three digits plus 8. 3,408: 408 + 8 = 416. Add the last two digits to four times the rest. 176: 1 × 4 + 76 = 80. 1168: 11 × 4 + 68 = 112. Examine the last four digits.[1][2]157,648: 7,648 = 428 × 16. 17 Subtract 5 times the last digit from the rest. 221: 22 − 1 × 5 = 17. 18 It is divisible by 2 and by 9.[5]342: it is divisible by 2 and by 9. 19 Add twice the last digit to the rest. 437: 43 + 7 × 2 = 57. 20 It is divisible by 10, and the tens digit is even. 360: is divisible by 10, and 6 is even. If the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 20. 480: 80 is divisible by 20. Step-by-step examplesDivisibility by 2 First, take any even number (for this example it will be 376) and note the last digit in the number, discarding the other digits. Then take that digit (6) while ignoring the rest of the number and determine if it is divisible by 2. If it is divisible by 2, then the original number is divisible by 2. Example 1. 376 (The original number) 2. 37 6 (Take the last digit) 3. 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (Check to see if the last digit is divisible by 2) 4. 376 ÷ 2 = 188 (If the last digit is divisible by 2, then the whole number is divisible by 2) Divisibility by 3 First, take any number (for this example it will be 492) and add together each digit in the number (4 + 9 + 2 = 15). Then take that sum (15) and determine if it is divisible by 3. The original number is divisible by 3 if and only if the final number is divisible by 3. If a number is a multiplication of 3 consecutive numbers then that number is always divisible by 3. This is useful for when the number takes the form of (n × (n − 1) × (n + 1)) Ex. 1. 492 (The original number) 2. 4 + 9 + 2 = 15 (Add each individual digit together) 3. 15 is divisible by 3 at which point we can stop. Alternatively we can continue using the same method if the number is still too large: 4. 1 + 5 = 6 (Add each individual digit together) 5. 6 ÷ 3 = 2 (Check to see if the number received is divisible by 3) 6. 492 ÷ 3 = 164 (If the number obtained by using the rule is divisible by 3, then the whole number is divisible by 3) Ex. 1. 336 (The original number) 2. 6 × 7 × 8 = 336 3. 336 ÷ 3 = 112 Divisibility by 4 The basic rule for divisibility by 4 is that if the number formed by the last two digits in a number is divisible by 4, the original number is divisible by 4;[1][2]this is because 100 is divisible by 4 and so adding hundreds, thousands, etc. is simply adding another number that is divisible by 4. If any number ends in a two digit number that you know is divisible by 4 (e.g. 24, 04, 08, etc.), then the whole number will be divisible by 4 regardless of what is before the last two digits. Alternatively, one can simply divide the number by 2, and then check the result to find if it is divisible by 2. If it is, the original number is divisible by 4. In addition, the result of this test is the same as the original number divided by 4. Ex. General rule 1. 2092 (The original number) 2. 20 92 (Take the last two digits of the number, discarding any other digits) 3. 92 ÷ 4 = 23 (Check to see if the number is divisible by 4) 4. 2092 ÷ 4 = 523 (If the number that is obtained is divisible by 4, then the original number is divisible by 4) Alternative example 1. 1720 (The original number) 2. 1720 ÷ 2 = 860 (Divide the original number by 2) 3. 860 ÷ 2 = 430 (Check to see if the result is divisible by 2) 4. 1720 ÷ 4 = 430 (If the result is divisible by 2, then the original number is divisible by 4) Divisibility by 5 Divisibility by 5 is easily determined by checking the last digit in the number (475), and seeing if it is either 0 or 5. If the last number is either 0 or 5, the entire number is divisible by 5.[1][2] If the last digit in the number is 0, then the result will be the remaining digits multiplied by 2. For example, the number 40 ends in a zero (0), so take the remaining digits (4) and multiply that by two (4 × 2 = 8). The result is the same as the result of 40 divided by 5(40/5 = 8). If the last digit in the number is 5, then the result will be the remaining digits multiplied by two (2), plus one (1). For example, the number 125 ends in a 5, so take the remaining digits (12), multiply them by two (12 × 2 = 24), then add one (24 + 1 = 25). The result is the same as the result of 125 divided by 5 (125/5=25). Ex. If the last digit is 0 1. 110 (The original number) 2. 11 0 (Take the last digit of the number, and check if it is 0 or 5) 3. 11 0 (If it is 0, take the remaining digits, discarding the last) 4. 11 × 2 = 22 (Multiply the result by 2) 5. 110 ÷ 5 = 22 (The result is the same as the original number divided by 5) If the last digit is 5 1. 85 (The original number) 2. 8 5 (Take the last digit of the number, and check if it is 0 or 5) 3. 8 5 (If it is 5, take the remaining digits, discarding the last) 4. 8 × 2 = 16 (Multiply the result by 2) 5. 16 + 1 = 17 (Add 1 to the result) 6. 85 ÷ 5 = 17 (The result is the same as the original number divided by 5) Divisibility by 6 Divisibility by 6 is determined by checking the original number to see if it is both an even number (divisible by 2) and divisible by 3.[5]This is the best test to use. Alternatively, one can check for divisibility by six by taking the number (246), dropping the last digit in the number (24 6, adding together the remaining number (24 becomes 2 + 4 = 6), multiplying that by four (6 × 4 = 24), and adding the last digit of the original number to that (24 + 6 = 30). If this number is divisible by six, the original number is divisible by 6. If the number is divisible by six, take the original number (246) and divide it by two (246 ÷ 2 = 123). Then, take that result and divide it by three (123 ÷ 3 = 41). This result is the same as the original number divided by six (246 ÷ 6 = 41). Ex. General rule 1. 324 (The original number) 2. 324 ÷ 3 = 108 (Check to see if the original number is divisible by 3) 3. 324 ÷ 2 = 162 OR 108 ÷ 2 = 54 (Check to see if either the original number or the result of the previous equation is divisible by 2) 4. 324 ÷ 6 = 54 (If either of the tests in the last step are true, then the original number is divisible by 6. Also, the result of the second test returns the same result as the original number divided by 6) Finding a remainder of a number when divided by 6 6 − (1, −2, −2, −2, −2, and −2 goes on for the rest) No period. Minimum magnitude sequence (1, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 4 goes on for the rest) Positive sequence Multiply the right most digit by the left most digit in the sequence and multiply the second right most digit by the second left most digit in the sequence and so on. Next, compute the sum of all the values and take the remainder on division by 6. Example: What is the remainder when 1036125837 is divided by 6? Multiplication of the rightmost digit = 1 × 7 = 7 Multiplication of the second rightmost digit = 3 × −2 = −6 Third rightmost digit = −16 Fourth rightmost digit = −10 Fifth rightmost digit = −4 Sixth rightmost digit = −2 Seventh rightmost digit = −12 Eighth rightmost digit = −6 Ninth rightmost digit = 0 Tenth rightmost digit = −2 Sum = −51 −51 modulo 6 = 3 Remainder = 3 Divisibility by 7‹ Whether to make the |reason= mandatory for the {{cleanup}} template is being discussed.

Please help improve this section if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions. (August 2010) Divisibility by 7 can be tested by a recursive method. A number of the form 10x + y is divisible by 7 if and only if x − 2y is divisible by 7. In other words, subtract twice the last digit from the number formed by the remaining digits. Continue to do this until a small number (below 20 in absolute value) is obtained. The original number is divisible by 7 if and only if the number obtained using this procedure is divisible by 7. For example, the number 371: 37 − (2×1) = 37 − 2 = 35; 3 − (2 × 5) = 3 − 10 = −7; thus, since −7 is divisible by 7, 371 is divisible by 7. Another method is multiplication by 3. A number of the form 10x + y has the same remainder when divided by 7 as 3x + y. So get the leftmost digit of the original number, multiply by 3, add the next digit, get the remainder by 7, and continue from the beginning: multiply by 3, add the next digit, etc. For example, the number 371: 3×3 + 7 = 16 remainder 2, and 2×3 + 1 = 7. This method can be used to find the remainder of division by 7. A more complicated algorithm for testing divisibility by 7 uses the fact that 100 ≡ 1, 101 ≡ 3, 102 ≡ 2, 103 ≡ 6, 104 ≡ 4, 105 ≡ 5, 106 ≡ 1, ... (mod 7). Take each digit of the number (371) in reverse order (173), multiplying them successively by the digits 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, repeating with this sequence of multipliers as long as necessary (1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, ...), and adding the products (1×1 + 7×3 + 3×2= 1 + 21 + 6 = 28). The original number is divisible by 7 if and only if the number obtained using this procedure is divisible by 7 (hence 371 is divisible by 7 since 28 is).[8] This method can be simplified by removing the need to multiply. All it would take with this simplification is to memorise the sequence above (132645...), and to add and subtract, but always working with one-digit numbers. The simplification goes as follows: • Take for instance the number 371 • Change all occurrences of a 7, 8 or 9 into 0, 1 or 2respectively. In this example, we get: 301. This second step may be skipped, except for the left most digit, but following it may facilitate calculations later on. • Now convert the first digit (3) into the following digit in the sequence 13264513... In our example, 3 becomes 2. • Add the result in the previous step (2) to the second digit of the number, and substitute the result for both digits, leaving all remaining digits unmodified: 2 + 0 = 2. So 301 becomes 21. • Repeat the procedure until you have a recognisable multiple of 7, or to make sure, a number between 0 and 6. So, starting from 21 (which is anyway a recognisable multiple of 7) take the first digit (2) and convert it into the following in the sequence above: 2 becomes 6. Then add this to the second digit: 6 + 1 = 7. • If at any point the first digit is an 8 or a 9, these should become 1, or 2 respectively. But if it is a 7 it should become 0, only if no other digits follow. Otherwise, it should simply be dropped. This is because that 7 would have become 0, and numbers with at least two digits before the decimal dot do not begin with 0, which is useless. According to this, our 7 becomes 0. If through this procedure you obtain a 0 or any recognisable multiple of 7, then the original number is a multiple of 7. If you obtain any number from 1 to 6, that will indicate how much you should subtract from the original number to get a multiple of 7. In other words, you will find the remainder of dividing the number by 7. For example take the number 186: • First, change the 8 into a 1: 116. • Now, change 1 into the following digit in the sequence (3), add it to the second digit, and write the result instead of both: 3 + 1 = 4. So 116 becomes now 46. • Repeat the procedure, since the number is greater than 7. Now, 4 becomes 5, which must be added to 6. That is 11. • Repeat the procedure one more time: 1 becomes 3, which is added to the second digit (1): 3 + 1 = 4. Now we have a number lower than 7, and this number (4) is the remainder of dividing 186/7. So 186 minus 4, which is 182, must be a multiple of 7. Note: The reason why this works is that if we have: a+b=cand b is a multiple of any given number n, then a and c will necessarily produce the same remainder when divided by n. In other words, in 2 + 7 = 9, 7 is divisible by 7. So 2 and 9 must have the same reminder when divided by 7. The remainder is 2. Therefore, if a number n is a multiple of 7 (i.e.: the remainder of n/7 is 0), then adding (or subtracting) multiples of 7 cannot possibly change that property. What this procedure does, as explained above for most divisibility rules, is simply subtract little by little multiples of 7 from the original number until reaching a number that is small enough for us to remember whether it is a multiple of 7. If 1 becomes a 3 in the following decimal position, that is just the same as converting 10×10n into a 3×10n. And that is actually the same as subtracting 7×10n (clearly a multiple of 7) from 10×10n. Similarly, when you turn a 3 into a 2 in the following decimal position, you are turning 30×10n into 2×10n, which is the same as subtracting 30×10n−28×10n, and this is again subtracting a multiple of 7. The same reason applies for all the remaining conversions: • 20×10n − 6×10n=14×10n • 60×10n − 4×10n=56×10n • 40×10n − 5×10n=35×10n • 50×10n − 1×10n=49×10n First method example 1050 → 105 − 0=105 → 10 − 10 = 0. ANSWER: 1050 is divisible by 7. Second method example 1050 → 0501 (reverse) → 0×1 + 5×3 + 0×2 + 1×6 = 0 + 15 + 0 + 6 = 21 (multiply and add). ANSWER: 1050 is divisible by 7. Vedic method of divisibility by osculation Divisibility by seven can be tested by multiplication by the Ekhādika. Convert the divisor seven to the nines family by multiplying by seven. 7×7=49. Add one, drop the units digit and, take the 5, the Ekhādika, as the multiplier. Start on the right. Multiply by 5, add the product to the next digit to the left. Set down that result on a line below that digit. Repeat that method of multiplying the units digit by five and adding that product to the number of tens. Add the result to the next digit to the left. Write down that result below the digit. Continue to the end. If the end result is zero or a multiple of seven, then yes, the number is divisible by seven. Otherwise, it is not. This follows the Vedic ideal, one-line notation.[9] Vedic method example: Is 438,722,025 divisible by seven? Multiplier = 5. 4 3 8 7 2 2 0 2 5 42 37 46 37 6 40 37 27 YES Pohlman-Mass method of divisibility by 7 The Pohlman-Mass method provides a quick solution that can determine if most integers are divisible by seven in three steps or less. This method could be useful in a mathematics competition such as MATHCOUNTS, where time is a factor to determine the solution without a calculator in the Sprint Round. Step A: If the integer is 1,000 or less, subtract twice the last digit from the number formed by the remaining digits. If the result is a multiple of seven, then so is the original number (and vice versa). For example: 112 -> 11 − (2×2) = 11 − 4 = 7 YES 98 -> 9 − (8×2) = 9 − 16 = −7 YES 634 -> 63 − (4×2) = 63 − 8 = 55 NO Because 1,001 is divisible by seven, an interesting pattern develops for repeating sets of 1, 2, or 3 digits that form 6-digit numbers (leading zeros are allowed) in that all such numbers are divisible by seven. For example: 001 001 = 1,001 / 7 = 143 010 010 = 10,010 / 7 = 1,430 011 011 = 11,011 / 7 = 1,573 100 100 = 100,100 / 7 = 14,300 101 101 = 101,101 / 7 = 14,443 110 110 = 110,110 / 7 = 15,730 01 01 01 = 10,101 / 7 = 1,443 10 10 10 = 101,010 / 7 = 14,430 111,111 / 7 = 15,873 222,222 / 7 = 31,746 999,999 / 7 = 142,857 576,576 / 7 = 82,368 For all of the above examples, subtracting the first thee digits from the last three results in a multiple of seven. Notice that leading zeros are permitted to form a 6-digit pattern. This phenomenon forms the basis for Steps B and C. Step B: If the integer is between 1,001 and one million, find a repeating pattern of 1, 2, or 3 digits that forms a 6-digit number that is close to the integer (leading zeros are allowed and can help you visualize the pattern). If the positive difference is less than 1,000, apply Step A. This can be done by subtracting the first three digits from the last three digits. For example: 341,355 − 341,341 = 14 -> 1 − (4×2) = 1 − 8 = −7 YES 67,326 − 067,067 = 259 -> 25 − (9×2) = 25 − 18 = 7 YES The fact that 999,999 is a multiple of 7 can be used for determining divisibility of integers larger than one million by reducing the integer to a 6-digit number that can be determined using Step B. This can be done easily by adding the digits left of the first six to the last six and follow with Step A. Step C: If the integer is larger than one million, subtract the nearest multiple of 999,999 and then apply Step B. For even larger numbers, use larger sets such as 12-digits (999,999,999,999) and so on. Then, break the integer into a smaller number that can be solved using Step B. For example: 22,862,420 − (999,999 × 22) = 22,862,420 − 21,999,978 -> 862,420 + 22 = 862,442 862,442 -> 862 − 442 (Step B) = 420 -> 42 − (0×2) (Step A) = 42 YES This allows adding and subtracting alternating sets of three digits to determine divisibility by seven. Understanding these patterns allows you to quickly calculate divisibility of seven as seen in the following examples: Pohlman-Mass method of divisibility by 7, examples: Is 98 divisible by seven? 98 -> 9 − (8×2) = 9 − 16 = −7 YES (Step A) Is 634 divisible by seven? 634 -> 63 − (4×2) = 63 − 8 = 55 NO (Step A) Is 355,341 divisible by seven? 355,341 − 341,341 = 14,000 (Step B) -> 014 − 000 (Step B) -> 14 = 1 − (4×2) (Step A) = 1 − 8 = −7 YES Is 42,341,530 divisible by seven? 42,341,530 -> 341,530 + 42 = 341,572 (Step C) 341,572 − 341,341 = 231 (Step B) 231 -> 23 − (1×2) = 23 − 2 = 21 YES (Step A) Using quick alternating additions and subtractions: 42,341,530 -> 530 − 341 = 189 + 42 = 231 -> 23 − (1×2) = 21 YES Multiplication by 3 method of divisibility by 7, examples: Is 98 divisible by seven? 98 -> 9 remainder 2 -> 2×3 + 8 = 14 YES Is 634 divisible by seven? 634 -> 6×3 + 3 = 21 -> remainder 0 -> 0×3 + 4 = 4 NO Is 355,341 divisible by seven? 3 * 3 + 5 = 14 -> remainder 0 -> 0×3 + 5 = 5 -> 5×3 + 3 = 18 -> remainder 4 -> 4×3 + 4 = 16 -> remainder 2 -> 2×3 + 1 = 7 YES Find remainder of 1036125837 divided by 7 1×3 + 0 = 3 3×3 + 3 = 12 remainder 5 5×3 + 6 = 21 remainder 0 0×3 + 1 = 1 1×3 + 2 = 5 5×3 + 5 = 20 remainder 6 6×3 + 8 = 26 remainder 5 5×3 + 3 = 18 remainder 4 4×3 + 7 = 19 remainder 5 Answer is 5 Finding remainder of a number when divided by 7 7 − (1, 3, 2, −1, −3, −2, cycle repeats for the next six digits) Period: 6 digits. Recurring numbers: 1, 3, 2, −1, −3, −2 Minimum magnitude sequence (1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, cycle repeats for the next six digits) Period: 6 digits. Recurring numbers: 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5 Positive sequence Multiply the right most digit by the left most digit in the sequence and multiply the second right most digit by the second left most digit in the sequence and so on and so for. Next, compute the sum of all the values and take the modulus of 7. Example: What is the remainder when 1036125837 is divided by 7? Multiplication of the rightmost digit = 1 × 7 = 7 Multiplication of the second rightmost digit = 3 × 3 = 9 Third rightmost digit = 8 × 2 = 16 Fourth rightmost digit = 5 × −1 = −5 Fifth rightmost digit = 2 × −3 = −6 Sixth rightmost digit = 1 × −2 = −2 Seventh rightmost digit = 6 × 1 = 6 Eighth rightmost digit = 3 × 3 = 9 Ninth rightmost digit = 0 Tenth rightmost digit = 1 × −1 = −1 Sum = 33 33 modulus 7 = 5 Remainder = 5 Digit pair method of divisibility by 7 This method uses 1, −3, 2 pattern on the digit pairs. That is, the divisibility of any number by seven can be tested by first separating the number into digit pairs, and then applying the algorithm on three digit pairs (six digits). When the number is smaller than six digits, then fill zero's to the right side until there are six digits. When the number is larger than six digits, then repeat the cycle on the next six digit group and then add the results. Repeat the algorithm until the result is a small number. The original number is divisible by seven if and only if the number obtained using this algorithm is divisible by seven. This method is especially suitable for large numbers. Example 1: The number to be tested is 157514. First we separate the number into three digit pairs: 15, 75 and 14. Then we apply the algorithm: 1 × 15 − 3 × 75 + 2 × 14 = 182 Because the resulting 182 is less than six digits, we add zero's to the right side until it is six digits. Then we apply our algorithm again: 1 × 18 − 3 × 20 + 2 × 0 = −42 The result −42 is divisible by seven, thus the original number 157514 is divisible by seven! Example 2: The number to be tested is 15751537186. (1 × 15 − 3 × 75 + 2 × 15) + (1 × 37 − 3 × 18 + 2 × 60) = −180 + 103 = −77 The result −77 is divisible by seven, thus the original number 15751537186 is divisible by seven! Divisibility by 13 Remainder Test 13 (1, −3, −4, −1, 3, 4, cycle goes on.) If you are not comfortable with negative numbers, then use this sequence. (1, 10, 9, 12, 3, 4) Multiply the right most digit of the number with the left most number in the sequence shown above and the second right most digit to the second left most digit of the number in the sequence. The cycle goes on. Example: What is the remainder when 321 is divided by 13? Using the first sequence, Ans: 1 × 1 + 2 × −3 + 3 × −4 = 9 Remainder = −17 mod 13 = 9 Example: What is the remainder when 1234567 is divided by 13? Using the second sequence, Answer: 7 × 1 + 6 × 10 + 5 × 9 + 4 × 12 + 3 × 3 + 2 × 4 + 1 × 1 = 178 mod 13 = 9 Remainder = 9 Beyond 20 Divisibility properties can be determined in two ways, depending on the type of the divisor. Composite divisors A number is divisible by a given divisor if it is divisible by the highest power of each of its prime factors. For example, to determine divisibility by 24, check divisibility by 8 and by 3.[5]Note that checking 4 and 6, or 2 and 12, would not be sufficient. A table of prime factors may be useful. A composite divisor may also have a rule formed using the same procedure as for a prime divisor, given below, with the caveat that the manipulations involved may not introduce any factor which is present in the divisor. For instance, one can not make a rule for 14 that involves multiplying the equation by 7. This is not an issue for prime divisors because they have no smaller factors. Prime divisors The goal is to find an inverse to 10 modulo the prime (not 2 or 5) and use that as a multiplier to make the divisibility of the original number by that prime depend on the divisibility of the new (usually smaller) number by the same prime. Using 17 as an example, since 10 × (−5) = −50 = 1 mod 17, we get the rule for using y − 5x in the table above. In fact, this rule for prime divisors besides 2 and 5 is really a rule for divisibility by any integer relatively prime to 10 (including 21 and 27; see tables below). This is why the last divisibility condition in the tables above and below for any number relatively prime to 10 has the same kind of form (add or subtract some multiple of the last digit from the rest of the number). Notable examples The following table provides rules for a few more notable divisors: Divisor Divisibility condition Examples 21 Subtract twice the last digit from the rest. 168: 16 − (8×2) = 0, 168 is divisible. 1050: 105 − (0×2) = 105, 10 − (5×2) = 0, 1050 is divisible. 23 Add 7 times the last digit to the rest. 3128: 312 + (8×7) = 368, 368 ÷ 23 = 16. 25 The number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 25.[2]134,250: 50 is divisible by 25. 27 Sum the digits in blocks of three from right to left. If the result is divisible by 27, then the number is divisible by 27. 2,644,272: 2 + 644 + 272 = 918 = 27×34. Subtract 8 times the last digit from the rest. 621: 62 − (1×8) = 54. 29 Add three times the last digit to the rest. 261: 1×3 = 3; 3 + 26 = 29 31 Subtract three times the last digit from the rest. 837: 83 − 3×7 = 62 32 The number formed by the last five digits is divisible by 32.[1][2]25,135,520: 35,520=1110×32 If the ten thousands digit is even, examine the number formed by the last four digits. 41,312: 1312. If the ten thousands digit is odd, examine the number formed by the last four digits plus 16. 254,176: 4176+16 = 4192. Add the last two digits to 4 times the rest. 1,312: (13×4) + 12 = 64. 33 Add 10 times the last digit to the rest; it has to be divisible by 3 and 11. 627: 62 + 7 × 10 = 132, 13 + 2 × 10 = 33. Add the digits in blocks of two from right to left. 2,145: 21 + 45 = 66. 35 Number must be divisible by 7 ending in 0 or 5. 37 Take the digits in blocks of three from right to left and add each block, just as for 27. 2,651,272: 2 + 651 + 272 = 925. 925 = 37×25.

Generalized divisibility rule To test for divisibility by D, where D ends in 1, 3, 7, or 9, the following method can be used.[10]Find any multiple of D ending in 9. (If D ends respectively in 1, 3, 7, or 9, then multiply by 9, 3, 7, or 1.) Then add 1 and divide by 10, denoting the result as m. Then a number N = 10t + q is divisible by Dif and only if mq + t is divisible by D. For example, to determine if 913 = 10×91 + 3 is divisible by 11, find that m = (11×9+1)÷10 = 10. Then mq+t = 10×3+91 = 121; this is divisible by 11 (with quotient 11), so 913 is also divisible by 11. As another example, to determine if 689 = 10×68 + 9 is divisible by 53, find that m = (53×3+1)÷10 = 16. Then mq+t = 16×9 + 68 = 212, which is divisible by 53 (with quotient 4); so 689 is also divisible by 53. ProofsProof using basic algebra Many of the simpler rules can be produced using only algebraic manipulation, creating binomials and rearranging them. By writing a number as the sum of each digit times a power of 10 each digit's power can be manipulated individually. Case where all digits are summed This method works for divisors that are factors of 10 − 1 = 9. Using 3 as an example, 3 divides 9 = 10 − 1. That means (see modular arithmetic). The same for all the higher powers of 10: They are all congruent to 1 modulo 3. Since two things that are congruent modulo 3 are either both divisible by 3 or both not, we can interchange values that are congruent modulo 3. So, in a number such as the following, we can replace all the powers of 10 by 1: which is exactly the sum of the digits. Case where the alternating sum of digits is used This method works for divisors that are factors of 10 + 1 = 11. Using 11 as an example, 11 divides 11 = 10 + 1. That means . For the higher powers of 10, they are congruent to 1 for even powers and congruent to −1 for odd powers: Like the previous case, we can substitute powers of 10 with congruent values: which is also the difference between the sum of digits at odd positions and the sum of digits at even positions. Case where only the last digit(s) matter This applies to divisors that are a factor of a power of 10. This is because sufficiently high powers of the base are multiples of the divisor, and can be eliminated. For example, in base 10, the factors of 101 include 2, 5, and 10. Therefore, divisibility by 2, 5, and 10 only depend on whether the last 1 digit is divisible by those divisors. The factors of 102 include 4 and 25, and divisibility by those only depend on the last 2 digits. Case where only the last digit(s) are removed Most numbers do not divide 9 or 10 evenly, but do divide a higher power of 10n or 10n − 1. In this case the number is still written in powers of 10, but not fully expanded. For example, 7 does not divide 9 or 10, but does divide 98, which is close to 100. Thus, proceed from where in this case a is any integer, and b can range from 0 to 99. Next, and again expanding and after eliminating the known multiple of 7, the result is which is the rule "double the number formed by all but the last two digits, then add the last two digits". Case where the last digit(s) is multiplied by a factor The representation of the number may also be multiplied by any number relatively prime to the divisor without changing its divisibility. After observing that 7 divides 21, we can perform the following: after multiplying by 2, this becomes and then Eliminating the 21 gives and multiplying by −1 gives Either of the last two rules may be used, depending on which is easier to perform. They correspond to the rule "subtract twice the last digit from the rest". Proof using modular arithmetic This section will illustrate the basic method; all the rules can be derived following the same procedure. The following requires a basic grounding in modular arithmetic; for divisibility other than by 2's and 5's the proofs rest on the basic fact that 10 mod m is invertible if 10 and m are relatively prime. For 2n or 5n: Only the last n digits need to be checked. Representing x as and the divisibility of x is the same as that of z. For 7: Since 10 × 5 ≡ 10 × (−2) ≡ 1 (mod 7) we can do the following: Representing x as so x is divisible by 7 if and only if y − 2zis divisible by 7 Velda Stanton Lvl 10 2y ago
# 5th Grade Fractions In 5th Grade Fractions we will discuss about definition of fraction, concept of fractions and different types of examples on fractions. A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. The whole may be a single object or a group of objects. Definition of Fraction: A number that compares part of an object or set with the whole, especially the quotient of two whole numbers, written in the form of $$\frac{x}{y}$$ is called a fraction. The fraction $$\frac{2}{5}$$, which means 2 divided by 5, can be represented as 2 books out of a box of 5 books. A fraction is a (i) part of a whole (ii) part of a collection ## Concept of 5th Grade Fractions: A fraction is a number which represents/indicates a part or parts of a whole. Fractions can be represented in three ways: (i) Fraction as a Part of a Whole: In the given figure, the coloured parts represent $$\frac{5}{8}$$ of the whole, i.e., $$\frac{5}{8}$$ 5 indicates 5 parts out of 8 equal parts of a whole. So, $$\frac{5}{8}$$ is a fraction. 5      Numerator 8  →  Denominator Clearly, a fraction comprises two numbers separated by a horizontal line. The number above the horizontal line is called the numerator and the number below the horizontal line is called the denominator of the fraction. (ii) Fraction as a Part of a Collection: We can find the fractional part of a collection by dividing the collection into subgroups equal to the number representing the denominator of the fraction. Then, we take the number of subgroups equal to the number representing the numerator of the fraction. Consider a collection of 9 balls. If we divide this collection into three equal parts, we get 3 balls in each of the three parts. Thus, one-third of 9 is 3. i.e., $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of 9 = 9 × $$\frac{1}{3}$$ = $$\frac{9}{3}$$ = 3 (iii) Fraction as Division: A fraction can be expressed as a division. Conversely, division can be expressed as fraction. If 42 pencils are distributed equally among 7 students then each student will get 42 ÷ 7 = 6 pencils. But if 1 mango is to be distributed among 4 students, then how many mango will a student get? Obviously, each student gets 1 ÷ 4 i.e., $$\frac{1}{4}$$ mango. ### Following are Some Examples of 5th Grade Fractions: (i) Consider the fraction $$\frac{7}{12}$$. This fraction is read as ”seven-twelfth” which means that 7 parts out of 12 equal parts in which the whole is divided. In the fraction $$\frac{7}{12}$$, 7 is called the numerator and 12 is called the denominator. (ii) The fraction $$\frac{5}{7}$$ is read as ”five-seventh” which means that 5 parts out of 7 equal parts in which the whole is divided. In the fraction $$\frac{5}{7}$$, 5 is called the numerator and 7 is called the denominator. (iii) The fraction $$\frac{3}{10}$$ is read as ”three-tenth” which means that 3 parts out of 10 equal parts in which the whole is divided. In the fraction $$\frac{3}{10}$$, 3 is called the numerator and 10 is called the denominator. (iv) The fraction $$\frac{1}{5}$$ is read as ”one-fifth” which means that 1 parts out of 5 equal parts in which the whole is divided. In the fraction $$\frac{1}{5}$$, 1 is called the numerator and 5 is called the denominator. For example on 5th Grade Fractions: 1. Mrs. Brown has 24 apples. She ate $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of them. (i) How many apples does she eat? (ii) How many does she have left? Solution: (i) Here the fraction $$\frac{1}{4}$$ means take 1 part from 4 equal parts. So, arrange 24 apples in four equal groups. Clearly, each group will contain 24 ÷ 4 = 6 apples. Thus, $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of 24 is 6. Hence, Mrs. Brown ate 6 apples. (ii) Number of left out apples = 24 – 6 = 18. 2. Andrea has a packet of 20 biscuits. She gives $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of them to Andy and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of them to Sally. The rest she keeps. (i) How many biscuits does Andy get? (ii) How many biscuits does Sally get? (iii) How many biscuits does Andrea keep? Solution: (i) Here, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of 20 means take 1 part from two equal parts. So, we arrange 20 biscuits in two equal parts. Clearly, each part will contain 20 ÷ 2 = 10 biscuits. Therefore, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of 20 is 10. Hence, Andy gets 10 biscuits. (ii) $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of 20 means take 1 part from four equal parts. So, we arrange 20 biscuits in four equal parts. Clearly, each part will contain 20 ÷ 4 = 5 biscuits. Therefore, $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of 20 is 5. Hence, Sally gets 5 biscuits. (iii) Clearly, left out biscuits are kept by Andrea. Therefore, Andrea keeps 20 – 10 – 5 = 5 biscuits. 5th Grade Fractions 3. What fraction of a day is 8 hours? Solution: We have, One day = 12 hours. Therefore, 8 hours = $$\frac{8}{12}$$ of a day. Hence, 8 hours is $$\frac{8}{12}$$ part of a day. 4. Determine $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of a collection of 9 balls. Solution: In order to find $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of a collection of 9 balls, we divide the collection of 9 balls in 3 equal parts and take 2 such parts. Clearly, each row has $$\frac{9}{3}$$ = 3 balls. When, we take 2 rows out of 3 rows. It represents $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of 9 balls. There are 6 balls in 2 rows. Hence, $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of 9 balls = 6 balls. ## You might like these • ### Conversion of Mixed Fractions into Improper Fractions |Solved Examples To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the proper fraction and then to the product add the numerator of the fraction to get the numerator of the improper fraction.

# ### Denominators ## What is a Denominator? A denominator is the bottom number of a fraction. The word comes from the Latin root word “denominaire” and it means “that which gives a name to”. Ancient mathematicians chose this word because the denominator of a fraction names the size of a fractional part. The size of a fractional part is determined by the number of parts in a whole. If there is a larger number of parts in the whole, the parts will be smaller because the whole is split into more pieces. ## Examples The denominator of $$\frac{4}{5}$$ is 5. The denominator of $$\frac{7}{12}$$ is 12. The denominator of $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is 2. ## Fractions as Division Fractions are usually interpreted as a parts of a whole. When most people see $$\frac{2}{3}$$, they think of one whole split into three parts with two of the parts shaded. However, fractions can also be interpreted as division. For example, $$\frac{2}{3}$$ could be seen as two wholes that are divided equally among three people. Either way, the amount represented by the fraction $$\frac{2}{3}$$ is the same. There are just two different ways of thinking about it. When fractions are interpreted as division, the denominator of the fraction is the divisor of the division problem. ## When Will I Use Denominators? Any time you add or subtract fractions, you have to find common denominators because you can’t add fractions if the fraction parts are not the same size. When you have a square root in the bottom of a fraction, you may be asked to rationalize the denominator before you submit your answer. If you have variables like x or y in a fraction, that means you are dealing with a rational expression. You can follow these rules to simplify rational expressions or you can follow these steps to solve rational equations if there is an equal sign.
What is meant by curve sketching? What is meant by curve sketching? In geometry, curve sketching (or curve tracing) are techniques for producing a rough idea of overall shape of a plane curve given its equation, without computing the large numbers of points required for a detailed plot. It is an application of the theory of curves to find their main features. Is curve sketching important? Curve sketching shows us how we can understand and predict the behavior of the function based on its first and second derivatives. Functions and their graphs are important not only in math but in other fields and applications as well. How do you find the curve? A curve is defined as a smoothly- flowing continuous line that has bent. It does not have any sharp turns. The way to identify the curve is that the line bends and changes its direction at least once. What are the rules for curve tracing? A) If Curve is symmetric about x-axis, We find asymptote parallel to y-axis by equating coefficient of highest degree term in y to zero. B) If Curve is symmetric about y-axis, We find asymptote parallel to x-axis by equating coefficient of highest degree term in x to zero. What is a curve in mathematics? curve, In mathematics, an abstract term used to describe the path of a continuously moving point (see continuity). Such a path is usually generated by an equation. The word can also apply to a straight line or to a series of line segments linked end to end. What is a simple curve in mathematics? Simple Curve: A simple curve changes direction but does not cross itself while changing direction. A simple curve can be open and closed both. 6. Non-simple curves: A curve that crosses its own path is called a non-simple curve. How do you draw a graph step by step? 1. Step 1: Identify the variables. 2. Step 2: Determine the variable range. 3. Step 3: Determine the scale of the graph. 4. Step 4: Number and label each axis and title the graph. 5. Step 5: Determine the data points and plot on the graph. 6. Step 6: Draw the graph.

Understanding And Calculating Combinations With 6 Numbers // Thomas Explore the world of combinations with 6 numbers. Understand the definition and importance of combinations, and learn how to calculate them using a step-by-step process. Discover real-life examples and strategies for generating combinations, and explore their applications in various fields such as probability, cryptography, and data analysis. Understanding Combinations with 6 Numbers Definition of Combinations Combinations refer to the different ways in which a set of numbers can be arranged or selected without regard to the order. In the context of 6 numbers, combinations refer to the unique sets of numbers that can be formed by selecting 6 numbers out of a larger set, without repetition. Importance of Combinations Combinations play a crucial role in various fields and applications. They are particularly important in probability and statistics, cryptography and encryption, and data analysis. By understanding combinations, we can gain insights into the likelihood of events, secure sensitive information, and make informed decisions based on data samples. Factors Affecting Combinations Several factors can affect the number of possible combinations with 6 numbers. The main factors include: – The total number of available numbers: The larger the pool of numbers to choose from, the more combinations can be formed. – The presence of repetition: If repetition is allowed, the number of combinations increases significantly. – The order of the numbers: Combinations do not consider the order of the selected numbers, so different orders of the same numbers are considered as one combination. – The number of numbers to be selected: In this case, we are selecting 6 numbers, but the number of combinations would differ if we were selecting a different number of numbers. Understanding these factors is essential for accurately calculating and analyzing combinations with 6 numbers. By considering these factors, we can explore the vast possibilities and potential outcomes that arise from combining numbers in different ways. Calculating Combinations with 6 Numbers Formula for Calculating Combinations When it comes to understanding combinations with 6 numbers, it’s important to know the formula used for calculating them. The formula for calculating combinations is based on the concept of choosing a specific number of items from a larger set without considering the order in which they are selected. The formula for calculating combinations is: nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!) Here, “n” represents the total number of items in the set, and “r” represents the number of items being chosen. The exclamation mark denotes the factorial of a number, which means multiplying the number by all the positive integers less than it down to 1. For example, if we want to calculate the number of combinations when choosing 6 numbers out of a set of 10, the formula would be: 10C6 = 10! / (6!(10-6)!) = 10! / (6!4!) Step-by-Step Calculation Process To calculate combinations with 6 numbers, we can follow a step-by-step process using the formula mentioned earlier. Let’s illustrate this process with an example: Suppose we have a set of 8 numbers, and we want to calculate the number of combinations when choosing 6 numbers out of this set. 1. Identify the values of “n” and “r” in the formula. In this case, n = 8 (the total number of numbers in the set) and r = 6 (the number of numbers being chosen). 2. Calculate the factorials of n, r, and (n-r). In our example, we have: n! = 8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 40,320 r! = 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720 (n-r)! = (8-6)! = 2! = 2 x 1 = 2 3. Substitute the values into the formula and perform the calculation. Using our example: 8C6 = 8! / (6!(8-6)!) = 40,320 / (720 x 2) = 40,320 / 1440 = 28 Therefore, there are 28 different combinations when choosing 6 numbers from a set of 8. Common Mistakes to Avoid Calculating combinations with 6 numbers can be straightforward if done correctly, but there are some common mistakes to avoid to ensure accurate results. 1. Mistake: Forgetting to calculate factorials correctly. Solution: Double-check the factorial calculations to ensure accurate results. Mistakes in factorials can lead to incorrect combinations. 2. Mistake: Using the wrong formula. Solution: Make sure to use the combination formula specifically when dealing with choosing items without considering their order. Using other formulas like permutations can lead to incorrect results. 3. Mistake: Misinterpreting the values of “n” and “r”. Solution: Be clear about the total number of items in the set (n) and the number of items being chosen (r). Switching or misunderstanding these values can lead to incorrect combinations. By being aware of these common mistakes and following the correct calculation process, you can confidently calculate combinations with 6 numbers and obtain accurate results. Real-Life Examples of Combinations with 6 Numbers Combinations in Lottery Games Have you ever wondered how lottery games determine the winning numbers? It all comes down to combinations. In lottery games, a set of numbers is drawn from a larger pool of numbers, and players try to match the drawn numbers with their own selections. The winning combination is determined by the specific numbers drawn, and the order in which they are drawn doesn’t matter. This means that if you have chosen the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the winning numbers are 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, and 6, you would still be a winner! The concept of combinations is fundamental in lottery games, as it determines the chances of winning and helps ensure fairness in the selection process. Combinations in Locks and Security Systems Locks and security systems often rely on combinations to provide access control. For example, think of a combination lock with three rotating discs, each containing the numbers 0 to 9. To open the lock, you need to align the discs so that the correct combination of numbers is displayed. In this case, the combination consists of six numbers, and each number has ten possibilities. This gives us a total of 10^6 (1,000,000) potential combinations! The security of the lock depends on the uniqueness and secrecy of the combination. By utilizing a large number of possible combinations, lock manufacturers can create secure systems that are challenging to bypass. We encounter combinations in our everyday lives when setting passwords or personal identification numbers (PINs) for various online accounts, mobile devices, or bank cards. A common requirement is to have a password or PIN that consists of six numbers. This seemingly simple requirement still offers a significant number of possible combinations, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to guess or brute force their way into our accounts. By using a combination of numbers, we add an extra layer of security to our personal information and digital assets. Remember to choose a strong and unique combination for your passwords and PINs, and avoid using easily guessable patterns such as sequential numbers or repeating digits. By exploring these real-life examples, we can see the practical applications of combinations with six numbers. Whether it’s determining winning numbers in lottery games, providing secure access control in locks and security systems, or safeguarding our personal information with strong passwords and PINs, combinations play a crucial role in various aspects of our daily lives. Strategies for Generating Combinations with 6 Numbers When it comes to generating combinations with 6 numbers, there are a few strategies you can employ to increase your chances of success. Let’s explore three popular approaches: random number generation, frequency analysis, and the systematic approach. Random Number Generation Random number generation is a common strategy used in various fields, including generating combinations with 6 numbers. The idea behind this approach is to rely on chance and ensure that each number in the combination has an equal probability of being selected. One way to generate random numbers is by using a computer algorithm that is designed to produce unpredictable results. This method ensures that the numbers selected are truly random and not influenced by any external factors. Many online tools and software programs are available that can generate random numbers for you with just a click of a button. Another approach to random number generation is through physical means, such as using a lottery ball machine or a deck of cards. These methods involve mixing and shuffling the numbers or cards to ensure randomness. While these physical methods may be more time-consuming, they can add an element of excitement and anticipation to the process. Frequency Analysis Frequency analysis is a strategy that involves analyzing the past occurrences of numbers in order to identify patterns and trends. By studying the frequency at which certain numbers appear, you can make more informed decisions when generating combinations with 6 numbers. To perform frequency analysis, you can gather data from previous lottery draws or any other relevant sources. By organizing the numbers and their frequencies in a table or chart, you can visually identify which numbers have appeared more frequently and which have been less common. This information can help you make strategic choices when creating your combinations. It’s important to note that frequency analysis does not guarantee a winning combination, as the occurrence of numbers is still subject to chance. However, it can provide valuable insights and increase your chances of selecting numbers that have been historically more likely to appear. Systematic Approach The systematic approach is a methodical strategy that involves creating combinations by following a specific set of rules or patterns. This approach allows you to cover a wide range of possible outcomes while ensuring that no combinations are overlooked. One systematic approach is to create combinations based on different number patterns, such as selecting numbers that follow a specific sequence or have a specific mathematical relationship. For example, you could choose numbers that increase or decrease in increments, or numbers that have a common factor. Another systematic approach is to divide the 6 numbers into smaller groups and create combinations within those groups. This method ensures that all possible combinations are accounted for and gives you a structured framework to work with. By utilizing a systematic approach, you can explore different patterns and structures within the combinations, increasing the likelihood of finding a winning combination. Applications of Combinations with 6 Numbers Probability and Statistics Probability and statistics play a crucial role in various fields, and combinations with 6 numbers are no exception. Understanding the principles of probability and statistics can help us analyze and predict outcomes, making informed decisions based on data. Here are some key applications of combinations in the context of probability and statistics: Analyzing Probability of Winning Combinations with 6 numbers are often utilized in lottery games, where players select a set of numbers in the hopes of matching the winning combination. By calculating the total number of possible combinations, we can determine the probability of winning. This information is valuable for both players and lottery organizers, as it helps set prize amounts and ensures fair gameplay. Estimating Population Parameters In data analysis and sampling, combinations with 6 numbers can be used to estimate population parameters. By randomly selecting samples and analyzing their characteristics, statisticians can make inferences about the larger population. Combinations provide a systematic way to generate these samples and ensure representativeness, allowing for accurate estimations. Assessing Risk and Uncertainty In various domains, such as finance and insurance, combinations with 6 numbers are employed to assess risk and uncertainty. By analyzing historical data and calculating the probabilities of different outcomes, professionals can make informed decisions on investments, insurance premiums, and risk management strategies. Combinations help quantify the range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities, enabling better risk assessment. Cryptography and Encryption In the realm of cybersecurity, combinations with 6 numbers are utilized in cryptography and encryption algorithms to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. Here are some ways combinations are applied in this field: Combinations with 6 numbers form the basis for creating secure passwords and PINs. By using a combination of numbers, users can create passwords that are difficult to guess or crack. Cryptographic algorithms often include combinations to enhance the strength of passwords and protect against unauthorized access. Creating Encryption Keys Encryption algorithms rely on combinations to generate encryption keys. These keys are used to encode and decode sensitive data, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the information. Combinations provide a vast number of possibilities, making it extremely difficult for hackers to decrypt the data without the correct key. Securing Digital Communication Combinations are also employed in the secure exchange of information over digital channels. By using combinations as part of cryptographic protocols, data can be encrypted and decrypted securely, protecting it from interception and unauthorized access. This application of combinations is crucial in areas such as online banking, e-commerce, and confidential communication. Data Analysis and Sampling Combinations with 6 numbers have significant implications in the field of data analysis and sampling. They help researchers and analysts draw meaningful conclusions from data and make informed decisions. Here are some key applications: Sampling Techniques In data analysis, combinations are used to generate samples for statistical analysis. By selecting a combination of numbers, researchers can ensure a representative sample that accurately reflects the larger population. This approach is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets, as it allows for efficient analysis without examining every individual data point. Statistical Inference Combinations play a vital role in statistical inference, where researchers draw conclusions about a population based on a sample. By utilizing combinations, analysts can calculate probabilities, confidence intervals, and p-values, providing insights into the reliability and significance of their findings. This enables researchers to make data-driven decisions and draw accurate conclusions from limited information. Data Visualization and Exploration Combinations can also be leveraged for data visualization and exploration purposes. By organizing and grouping data into combinations, analysts can identify patterns, trends, and relationships within the dataset. This approach enhances data understanding and facilitates effective communication of findings to a broader audience. In conclusion, combinations with 6 numbers find applications in various domains, including probability and statistics, cryptography and encryption, and data analysis and sampling. Whether it’s estimating probabilities, securing sensitive information, or drawing meaningful insights from data, understanding and utilizing combinations is essential in these fields. By harnessing the power of combinations, professionals can make informed decisions, protect data, and unlock valuable insights. Contact 3418 Emily Drive Charlotte, SC 28217 +1 803-820-9654
## Cross Section Area Of A Wire How can you calculate the surface area of a wire? What is the formula for cross-sectional area? This article will answer these questions and more. Keep reading to learn how to calculate the surface area of a wire. In addition, we’ll explain what the cross-sectional area of a wire is made up of. Once you understand these terms, you’ll be able to calculate the cross-sectional area of a wire. ## Cross section area of a wire The cross section area of a wire is the area of a circular or elliptical plane cut through an object at a right angle to its length. A wire with a circular cross section will have an area equal to the diameter of the wire times its cross section angle. On the other hand, a rectangular block cut at an angle will have an area equal to its cross section angle. Therefore, when you measure the cross section area of a wire, you must first determine how thick the wire is. A wire’s cross section area is calculated by dividing the length of one side by its width. Then, you multiply the two sides by their squares. For example, a wire with a thickness of 3/8 inch and a width of 4 inches is equal to 0.375 inches in cross section area. By converting these measurements, you get a measurement of the wire’s diameter in square inches. Then, you multiply this value by 4,000 to get the square area of the wire. ## What is the formula for cross-sectional area? When measuring the cross-sectional area of a wire, you will need to know its diameter and length. Fortunately, the formula for cross-sectional area is fairly straightforward. A wire’s cross-sectional area is equal to the square of its diameter, measured in mils. It can be calculated by drawing a wire rod. You can also find the cross-sectional area of a wire by squaring its diameter in inches. To calculate the cross-sectional area of a wire, you multiply its length by its diameter. However, the formula assumes a clean cut of 90 degrees. In fact, you can get a larger result if you make a 45-degree cut. The area of a wire in a circle is approximately 1000 mils per square inch. Multi-strand cables have a cross-sectional area that is 4,000 mils squared. To calculate the cross-sectional area of a wire, first determine its average diameter. Divide this number by 10. Next, multiply the result by the number of cables. For example, a section of wire with a diameter of 16 mm needs 32 amperes of current. You can round down to four millimeters for ease of calculations. The formula for cross-sectional area of a wire falls within the tabular data category. ## What is area of cross section in electricity? The area of a conductor’s cross section is measured in mm2. It is equal to the surface area of a circle divided by the radius of the object. In the case of electricity, the area of a wire’s cross section is equal to the surface area of a circle with the same radius. The area of a vein will always be round. When calculating resistance, the diameter of a vein must be larger than the cross section of the conductor. The resistance of a wire is the difficulty of allowing current to flow through it. A long wire has a greater resistance than a short one because electrons collide with more ions as they pass through. A thin wire has fewer spaces for free electrons to pass through. The resistance and area of cross section are inversely related. But you’ll find this formula confusing when you need to consider multiple events. ## What is the surface area of a wire? A wire’s surface area can be measured by calculating its cross-sectional area. The surface area of one strand of 0.20mm diameter copper wire is equivalent to the surface area of a circle of radius r. This measurement can be rounded to the nearest hundredth of a meter. Alternatively, you can find out the surface area of a cylinder made of one mm wire by using a known formula. A large-diameter wire has a higher surface area than a small-diameter wire. Wires with smaller diameters are typically measured in millimeters. In a nutshell, wires can be measured in square units or in circular mils. The cross-sectional area of wire is most easily calculated in circular mils rather than in square units, as the measurement scale of wire size is inverse. ## What shape is the cross-sectional area of a wire? The cross-sectional area of a wire is equal to the area of a circle of diameter d with radius r. As the diameter of the wire is larger than its thickness, the area will always be larger. This measurement is also useful to understand the differences between stranded wire and solid wire. The cross-sectional area of wires can also be used to determine the resistance. To understand the formula, first we need to define the cross-section. A cross-section is the common region of a 3D object. For example, a long cylindrical tube will have a cross-section that is a concentric circle. A beam will be named based on the shape of its cross-section. Basically, the area of a cross-section is the same as its height, width, and thickness. A cross-section calculator will give you the cross-sectional area of a cylinder of diameter 10, height H, and thickness t1. A wire can be circular or oval in cross-section. An ellipsoidal cross-section is also possible. Both wire shapes have their center waist narrower than the rest. The S-shaped wire has a much thinner wall and beam than a Z-shaped wire. This means that the S-shaped wire is easier to bend than a Z-shaped one. In general, the cross-sectional area of a wire will be greater than that of a square. ## Is cross-sectional area the same as diameter? A cross-sectional area is the squared length of one side of a conductor. Then, multiply the square length of the other side. For example, take a rectangular conductor with a thickness of 3/8 inch and a width of four inches. The thickness is expressed as 0.375 inch. This is equivalent to 4,000 mils. Similarly, a width expressed in inches is equal to 375 mils. Then, multiply 375 mils by 4,000 mils to find the cross-sectional area. A wire’s cross-sectional area is measured using the formula: A = 1/pd2, where p is the length in feet. Its diameter is the area of a circle with radius r. The cross-sectional area of an n-gauge wire is equal to the square of its diameter. Once you have found the cross-sectional area of the wire, you can calculate the average diameter of the wire. ## What is the difference between area and cross-section. The size of a wire can be measured using the area and cross section of the conductor. The area of a wire refers to the space in which the copper wires can pass. It is important to note that the cross-section area and diameter are not the same. Likewise, stranded wire has a larger cross-section than solid wire. So, the size of a solid wire is more important than its cross-sectional area. The cross-sectional area of a wire is smaller than its overall surface area. Generally speaking, large-diameter wires have greater cross-sectional area than small-diameter wires. The cross-sectional area of a wire can be expressed in either square units or in circular mils. The area of a wire can also be expressed in the gauge scale. The circular-mil measurement of a wire is more convenient to calculate, as it eliminates the “pi” and d/2 (radius) factors. The cross-sectional area of a wire affects its resistance. A wider wire has lower resistance than a thinner one. Therefore, the wider the cross-section area, the lower the resistance of the wire. To further understand this, consider the example of a water pipe. The wider a pipe is, the more water it flows. Therefore, a wire with a wider cross-section area has less resistance to the flow of electric charge. ## What is area formula? What is the area formula for cross section of a wire, and how do I find its area? Wire cross sections are shaped like a circle, but the surface area of each section varies. Wires are a mix of different materials, and one type is generally more dense than another. One type of wire is stranded, which is a single-core wire that has been twisted together. The cross section of a wire is a two-dimensional representation of the object. When cutting a solid wire into multiple sections, the two-dimensional slices of the wire will be different. The cross-section area is known as the SS, and it is measured in mm2. A stranded wire will have a greater area than a solid wire. Both types of wire have a different resistance. One method of calculating the cross-section area of a wire is to measure the diameter of the wire. This measurement is easy. Take a long piece of wire and wind it around a pencil until the “tails” fit tight together. Make sure to use full turns that fit tightly and have no gaps between them. You’ll need to divide the length of the segment by the number of turns to determine the diameter. For example, if the wire has 11 turns, the resulting diameter will be 7.5 mm. Then divide that number by 11 and get 0.68 mm. ## How to Find the Cross-Sectional Area of a Rectangle Duct A rectangular duct can be divided into sixteen sections. Each section indicates the average velocity of the air flowing through the duct. The cross-sectional area of a duct can be calculated using a formula that represents the cross-sectional area and velocity of the air. The cross-sectional area of a rectangular duct is equal to the flow rate of one cubic meter of air per second, where V is the velocity of the air. The area of a solid depends on its shape and the angle between its axis of symmetry and the plane in which it intersects. The area of a rectangular solid is equal to the base area x its height. The cross-section area of a rectangular duct is equal to the base area plus its height. If you want to calculate the cross-sectional area of a square, you would multiply the width of the cylinder by the height. A duct’s cross-sectional area is measured in square inches, and this value can be calculated from the length and circumference of the cylinder. The resulting square area is then multiplied by the radius of the cylinder. If the duct is round, the area of the cylinder is equal to p*R2. This is true for both rectangular and oval shaped ducts, but rectangular ducts are more accurate. ## What is Meant by Cross-Sectional Area of Conductor? The cross-sectional area of a conductor is the surface area that is the same lengthwise, no matter the configuration. Its area can be measured in square mils or in the actual cross-section of the conductor. The square mil is a unit of measurement, where one mil equals the area of a square with sides of 1 mil. A 3/8-inch conductor, for example, has a cross-sectional area of 3/8 of an inch, and it is 4 inches wide. Therefore, a 3/8-inch conductor is 4 inches wide and 3/8 inch thick. The area of a circular conductor is equal to 0.375 inch. A rectangular conductor will have an area of 9 square mils, so a 3/8-inch square will have a cross-sectional area of A cable is a small pipe. The configuration determines its outline. For example, if you cut a round metal rod in half, the cross-section will be two circles of a specific thickness. The cross-sectional area of a conductor (SS) is measured in mm2, whereas the area of a vein is round. Using this formula, you can find the cross-sectional area of a conductor by multiplying the radius of the vein by its circumference, R. Another application for cross-sectional area is in nuclear physics. The effective size of a nuclear atom is defined by the cross-section of the nucleus. The cross-sectional area of a nuclear atom is the area of a circle divided parallel to the base, and the probability of the neutron interacting with the target atom is expressed by its cross-section. Nuclear fission relies on this mechanism.

Last updated date: 13th Sep 2024 Total views: 439.8k Views today: 11.39k Verified 439.8k+ views Hint: We need to use the unitary method in this case. In the unitary method, if we know the price of a particular product we can find the price of the number of products by multiplication also we can find the price of a single product if we are given with price of the numbers of products with the division. The area of the triangular field is found by using here’s formula i.e. $\sqrt {S(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$ where a, b, c are sides of the triangle S is semi perimeter. Value of $s = \dfrac{{a + b + c}}{2}$ Therefore Given sides of triangular grass field $50n,65m$and $65m$ respectively Let $a = 50m$ $b = 65m$ and $c = 65m$ Now $S = \dfrac{{a + b + c}}{2} = \dfrac{{50 + 65 + 65}}{2} = 90m$ Area of triangular field is found by heron’s formula i.e. Area $= \sqrt {S(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$ put $s = 90m,a = 50m,b = 65m$ and $c = 65m$ Area $= \left[ {{{10}^2} \times {3^2} \times {2^2} \times {{25}^2}} \right]$ $= \sqrt {90(40)(25)(25)}$ $= \sqrt {10 \times 910 \times 4 \times 25 \times 25}$ $\left[ {\because 90 = 9 \times 10\,\,40 = 4 \times 10} \right]$ $= \left[ {{{10}^2} \times {3^2} \times {2^2} \times {{25}^2}} \right]$ $\left[ {\because {3^2} = 9\,4 = {2^2}} \right]$ $= 10 \times 3 \times 2 \times 25$ Area$= 1500{m^2}$ BY unitary method, Cost of laying $I{m^2}$ grass $= Rs.7$(Given) Cost of laying $1500{m^2}$ grass $= Rs\,1500 \times 7 = Rs\,10500$ Hence the cost of laying is Rs. $1050$.

# Fraction calculator The calculator performs basic and advanced operations with fractions, expressions with fractions combined with integers, decimals, and mixed numbers. 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. ## Result: ### 91/4 - 45/6 = 53/12 = 4 5/12 ≅ 4.4166667 Spelled result in words is fifty-three twelfths (or four and five twelfths). ### How do you solve fractions step by step? 1. Conversion a mixed number 9 1/4 to a improper fraction: 9 1/4 = 9 1/4 = 9 · 4 + 1/4 = 36 + 1/4 = 37/4 To find new numerator: a) Multiply the whole number 9 by the denominator 4. Whole number 9 equally 9 * 4/4 = 36/4 b) Add the answer from previous step 36 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 36 + 1 = 37 c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 37) over the denominator 4. Nine and one quarter is thirty-seven quarters 2. Conversion a mixed number 4 5/6 to a improper fraction: 4 5/6 = 4 5/6 = 4 · 6 + 5/6 = 24 + 5/6 = 29/6 To find new numerator: a) Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 6. Whole number 4 equally 4 * 6/6 = 24/6 b) Add the answer from previous step 24 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 24 + 5 = 29 c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 29) over the denominator 6. Four and five sixths is twenty-nine sixths 3. Subtract: 37/4 - 29/6 = 37 · 3/4 · 3 - 29 · 2/6 · 2 = 111/12 - 58/12 = 111 - 58/12 = 53/12 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(4, 6) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 6 = 24. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling. In words - thirty-seven quarters minus twenty-nine sixths = fifty-three twelfths. #### Rules for expressions with fractions: Fractions - use the slash “/” between the numerator and denominator, i.e., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you are using mixed numbers, be sure to leave a single space between the whole and fraction part. The slash separates the numerator (number above a fraction line) and denominator (number below). Mixed numerals (mixed fractions or mixed numbers) write as non-zero integer separated by one space and fraction i.e., 1 2/3 (having the same sign). An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2. Because slash is both signs for fraction line and division, we recommended use colon (:) as the operator of division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 3. Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45. The colon : and slash / is the symbol of division. Can be used to divide mixed numbers 1 2/3 : 4 3/8 or can be used for write complex fractions i.e. 1/2 : 1/3. An asterisk * or × is the symbol for multiplication. Plus + is addition, minus sign - is subtraction and ()[] is mathematical parentheses. The exponentiation/power symbol is ^ - for example: (7/8-4/5)^2 = (7/8-4/5)2 #### Examples: subtracting fractions: 2/3 - 1/2 multiplying fractions: 7/8 * 3/9 dividing Fractions: 1/2 : 3/4 exponentiation of fraction: 3/5^3 fractional exponents: 16 ^ 1/2 adding fractions and mixed numbers: 8/5 + 6 2/7 dividing integer and fraction: 5 ÷ 1/2 complex fractions: 5/8 : 2 2/3 decimal to fraction: 0.625 Fraction to Decimal: 1/4 Fraction to Percent: 1/8 % comparing fractions: 1/4 2/3 multiplying a fraction by a whole number: 6 * 3/4 square root of a fraction: sqrt(1/16) reducing or simplifying the fraction (simplification) - dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number - equivalent fraction: 4/22 expression with brackets: 1/3 * (1/2 - 3 3/8) compound fraction: 3/4 of 5/7 fractions multiple: 2/3 of 3/5 divide to find the quotient: 3/5 ÷ 2/3 The calculator follows well-known rules for order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order of operations are: PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. BEDMAS - Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction BODMAS - Brackets, Of or Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. GEMDAS - Grouping Symbols - brackets (){}, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Be careful, always do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. Some operators (+ and -) and (* and /) has the same priority and then must evaluate from left to right. ## Fractions in word problems: • Bucket 4 The bucket has 5/8 gallons of water.

Linear regression explained # Linear regression explained ## Intro But for now, let's focus on linear regression ## What is linear regression? Let's say you measured a couple of points, and plotted them on a graph (x, y). These values can represent anything you want (The cost of a house as a function of its livable surface area, the weight of a tree as a function of its height, etc...). For my example, these are the values that I'm going to use: ```(1,1) (1.5, 2) (2, 0.5) (2.7, 3.3) (3.6, 4.5) (3.7, 4.7) (4.5, 7.5) (6.1, 6.5) (6.4, 8.8) (7.5, 9.6) (8.5, 9.7)``` When plotted, this is what they look like: Now, let's ask ourselves: If we added a point, knowing its x-value, could we predict its y-value? For example, what could be an estimation of the y-value for x=5? To answer this, we'll need to find a relation between y and x. Since it's linear, we'll be able to write (as you might remember from school) something that looks like the equation of a line: y = ax + b In linear regression, we write: y = b0 + b1*x The whole idea behind linear regression is to find those b0 and b1 values. Using our example, we could take x=5 and see what y-value would be found. For the curious ones out there, this is what a good fit (although not the best) might look like: Using this model, if we plug in x=5, we get y=1.25*5 = 6.25 ## How does linear regression work? To make linear regression work, we have to establish a relation between the points and the estimated line. This relation will be the "cost" (the error). With different existing cost functions, we'll choose one and try to minimize it. The smaller that value is, The best fit a line will be. We'll try to make it approach zero, but with real data, it's almost always impossible (except if the line is a perfect fit). Here is an example of how different lines will yield different costs: Notice that one of the lines fits better than all others, and this yields the lowest cost To find the best fit, we'll have to simply find the best b_0 and b_1. For the sake of simplicity, we'll use the y=ax+b notation and therefore call b_0 b and b_1 a. The idea is to introduce a cost (cost(a, b)) function and try to minimize that function. We'll use the gradient descent method (which I'll soon write an article about) to change the values of a and b to minimize cost(a, b). We'll have to calculate the partial derivatives of the cost relative to a and b to be able to use the gradient descent method, so I'd recommend choosing a not-so-complicated cost function to start with. This might be slightly confusing so let's actually get into an example: For the cost function we'll choose: Then we'll have to see in what way a and b affect the cost function. To do this we'll calculate both partial derivatives: The result we got is actually the slope to increase the value of cost(a, b) so we'll have to take its inverse, and add a learning rate to modify the values of a and b: Now to minimize this function, we'll go over a certain number of epochs (iterations) repeating the same previous step. By the end, we should have optimized our a and b values to fit the points nicely.

Pairs of adjacent sides are equal for a Kite. One pair of opposite angles are equal for an Isosceles trapezoid. It has one pair of opposite angles that are equal. What is kite Byjus? Properties of kite The two angles are equal where the unequal sides meet. It can be viewed as a pair of congruent triangles with a common base. It has 2 diagonals that intersect each other at right angles. A kite is symmetrical about its main diagonal. The shorter diagonal divides the kite into 2 isosceles triangles. What does kite mean In geometry? In math what is kite? In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. In contrast, a parallelogram also has two pairs of equal-length sides, but they are opposite to each other instead of being adjacent.

# Solving Quadratic Equations by Factors The factorised form of a quadratic equation is $(ax+b)(cx+d)=0$. Using the Null Factor law, we can solve this equation algebraically to find $x$ \begin{align} \displaystyle (ax+b)(cx+d) &= 0 \\ ax+b &= 0 \text{ or } cx+d =0 \\ x &= -\dfrac{b}{a} \text{ or } x = -\dfrac{d}{c} \end{align} ### Example 1 Solve $(x-1)(x+2)=0$. \begin{align} \displaystyle (x-1)(x+2) &= 0 \\ x-1 &= 0 \text{ or } x+2 = 0 \\ \therefore x &= 1 \text{ or } x = -2 \end{align} ### Example 2 Solve $x(x-3)=0$. \begin{align} \displaystyle x(x-3) &= 0 \\ x &= 0 \text{ or } x-3 = 0 \\ \therefore x &= 0 \text{ or } x = 3 \end{align} ### Example 3 Solve $(2x-1)(3x+2)=0$. \begin{align} \displaystyle (2x-1)(3x+2) &= 0 \\ 2x-1 &= 0 \text{ or } 3x+2 = 0 \\ \therefore x &= \dfrac{1}{2} \text{ or } x = -\dfrac{2}{3} \\ \end{align} ## High School Math for Life: Making Sense of Earnings Salary Salary refers to the fixed amount of money that an employer pays an employee at regular intervals, typically on a monthly or biweekly basis,… ## Mastering Integration by Parts: The Ultimate Guide Welcome to the ultimate guide on mastering integration by parts.

# Complements In the previous lesson, we learned about number systems – binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal number systems in detail. Complements are very helpful in performing subtraction and save computing time and lead to simple circuits. Before we move to subtraction, let’s understand what complement is all about. In simple words, if there is group with have R items, and you took S items from the group, then you need the complement R-S items to complete the group. These R-S items are called the complements. In a number system, there is a fixed range of numbers and when you pick any number from the system, you have a complement for that number in the number system. ## Types of Complements There are two types of complements. 1. Diminished Radix Complement or r-1’s complement. 2. Radix Complement or r’s complement. ### Diminished Radix Complement [r-1’s complement] Suppose a number N is given N = Number r = base of the number n = Number of digits in the number. The r-1’s complement of the number is given by the formula. (r^n - 1) - N ### Radix Complement [r’s complement] To find radix complement of a number N, where N = Number r. = base of the number n = Number of digits in the number. The r’s complement of the number is given as r^n - N or r-1’s \hspace{3px}complement + 1 => [( r^n -1) – N] + 1 ## Examples – Diminished Radix Complements Here are some example problems for diminished radix complements. ### Problem1: Find 9’s complement of 258. ### Solution: \begin{aligned} &N = 258\\ &r = 10\\ &n=3\\\\ &We \hspace{3px} use \hspace{3px}the \hspace{3px}formula\hspace{3px} for \hspace{3px}r-1’s \hspace{3px}complement.\\\\ &(r^n – 1) – N\\ &(10^3 – 1) – 258\\ &999 – 258\\ &The \hspace{3px} 9’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}of \hspace{3px}258 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px}741. \end{aligned} ### Problem2: Find 1’s complement for 1101. ### Solution: In the given problem, \begin{aligned} &N = 1101\\ &r = 2\\ &n = 4\\\\ &The \hspace{3px}formula \hspace{3px}for \hspace{3px}r-1’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}where r = 2\hspace{3px} is \hspace{3px}(r^n - 1) – N.\\\\ &(2^4 - 1) - 1101\\\\ &Note:\hspace{3px} Binary \hspace{3px}equivalent for \hspace{3px}2^4 = 10000.\\\\ &(10000 - 1)1101\\ &1111 - 1101\\ &The \hspace{3px} 1’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}for \hspace{3px}1101 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px}0010. \end{aligned} ### Method 2 The second method to find the r-1’s complement is to subtract each digit in the number by r-1. In our case, r = 2 so r – 1 = 1 Given that the 1’s complement of binary number is \begin{aligned} &1 – 1 = 0\\ &1 – 1 = 0\\ &1 – 0 = 1\\ &1 – 1 = 0\\\\ \end{aligned} ### Problem3: Find 7’s complement of octal number 234. ### Solution: The range of digits for octal number is 0-to-7. Subtract each digit with 7 will give r-1’s complement for octal. \begin{aligned} &7 - 2 = 5\\ &7 - 3 = 4\\ &7 - 4 = 3\\\\ &The \hspace{3px} r-1's \hspace{3px} complement \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px} 543. \end{aligned} ## Examples – Radix Complements There are two methods to find the r’s complement of a number. \begin{aligned} &Method \hspace{3px}1: r^n – N\\ &Method \hspace{3px}2: r-1’s \hspace{3px}complement + 1 \end{aligned} ### Problem4: Find 10’s complement for 432. ### Solution: Given that \begin{aligned} &N = 432\\ &r = 10\\ &n = 3\\ & \end{aligned} Method 1: \begin{aligned} &First \hspace{3px}we \hspace{3px}will \hspace{3px}find \hspace{3px}the \hspace{3px} 10’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}using \hspace{3px}r^n – N.\\ &r^n – N = 1000 – 432 = 568\\ &Therefore,\\ &10’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}of\hspace{3px} 432 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px}568. \end{aligned} Method 2: By using method 2, you need to find the 9’s complement and then add 1 to the result to get 10’s complement. Step1: Subtract each digit by 9 to get 9’s complement. \begin{aligned} &9 - 4 = 5\\ &9 - 3 = 6\\ &9 - 2 = 7\\ \end{aligned} Step2: Add 1 to the result. \begin{aligned} &567 + 1\\ &=568\\ &568 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px}the \hspace{3px}10’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}of \hspace{3px}432. \end{aligned} ### Problem5: Find 2’s complement of the binary number 1001. ### Solution: Method 1: We can obtain the solution in using two methods. \begin{aligned} &To \hspace{3px} find \hspace{3px} 2’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}using \hspace{3px}method 1 \hspace{3px}use \hspace{3px}the \hspace{3px}formula r^n – N.\\ &Given \hspace{3px} that\\ &N = 1001\\ &r = 2\\ &n = 4\\ &r^n - N = 10000 – 1001\\\\ &\hspace{8px}\sout10000\\ &-1001\\ &\hspace{8px}----\\ &\hspace{11px}0111\\\\ &The \hspace{3px}2’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}for \hspace{3px}1001 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px}0111. \end{aligned} Method 2: To use second method, find the 1’s complement for 1001 and then add 1 to the result. Step1: find the 1’s complement of 1001. \begin{aligned} 1001 -> 0110 (1’s complement) \end{aligned} Step2: Add 1 to result. \begin{aligned} &0110 + 1 => 0111\\ &Therefore,\\ &0111 \hspace{3px}is \hspace{3px} the \hspace{3px}2’s \hspace{3px}complement \hspace{3px}of \hspace{3px}0110. \end{aligned} ## References 1.

Expert-verified Found in: Page 581 ### Algebra 2 Book edition Middle English Edition Author(s) Carter Pages 804 pages ISBN 9780079039903 # Find the next four terms of each arithmetic sequence.$\frac{18}{5},\frac{16}{5},\frac{14}{5},...$ The next four terms of the arithmetic sequence are $\frac{12}{5},2,\frac{8}{5},\frac{6}{5}$. See the step by step solution ## Step 1. Given Information. The given arithmetic sequence is $\frac{18}{5},\frac{16}{5},\frac{14}{5},...$ ## Step 2. Calculation. A sequence is said to be arithmetic when the difference between the consecutive terms is always the same. Here the difference between the first two terms is $\frac{16}{5}-\frac{18}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$ The difference between the next two terms is $\frac{14}{5}-\frac{16}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$ So, the common difference is $-\frac{2}{5}$ The next term in the arithmetic sequence is $\frac{14}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}$ The next term in the arithmetic sequence is $\frac{12}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{10}{5}=2$ The next term in the arithmetic sequence is $2-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{8}{5}$. The next term in the arithmetic sequence is $\frac{8}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$. ## Step 3. Conclusion. Hence, the next four terms of the arithmetic sequence are $\frac{12}{5},2,\frac{8}{5},\frac{6}{5}$.

Circumference and Area of a Circle: A Middle School Math Hands-On Lesson Janine is a published author in Only Trollops Shave Above the Knees, appears on The Huffington Post and at Confessions of A Mommyaholic. In Middle School Math, yet again another topic that comes to mind that middle schoolers need to learn and will be tested on is circles, specifically circumference and area. These two concepts can be downright boring if taught by the old chalk and talk method. But lo and behold, I continually tried to find new and creative ways to teach some of the most mundane and boring math topics. Even before getting to actual activity at hand, I was lucky enough to teach alongside some really fabulous teachers and one can me this idea for how to introduce the two concepts. When thinking of circles, students are first and foremost introduced to a few basic principles. So what are the words that kids must learn the definitions to before they can even begin to work with circles? Well look no further here they are. Circle Definitions: The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outside edge. In the picture to the right, the radius is labeled and is the the yellow line from the edge of the circle to the midpoint. Diameter The diameter of a circle is longest distance across a circle. (The diameter cuts through the center of the circle. This is what makes it the longest distance.) In the picture to the right, the diameter of the circle is clearly labeled and the yellow line that goes from one end of the circle to the other cutting directly through the middle of the circle. Circumference The definition of the circumference of a circle is quite simply the perimeter or the distance around the outer edge of the circle. Looking at the picture to the right, the circumference is the bright yellow line on the outside of the circle. So the formula for circumference is C = π d, where d= the diameter of the circle and π = 3.141592... Area Area is defined as the amount of space inside the boundary of a flat or 2-dimensional object, such as a triangle or circle. In the circle picture to the right, the area is the inside of the circle that is shaded in purple. The formula for area of a circle is A = π r2, where r = the radius of the circle and π = 3.141592... So How Can We Remember the Actual Circle Formulas? Once I briefly introduce these definitions, then I talk a bit about why in real life we would need to find area and circumference of a circle. I model on the smart board a google search about Real Life uses and show the top 5 according to Yahoo. They are as follows: 1. Car makers can measure car wheels to make sure they fit. 2. Race car engineers can use it to find out what size tire gives them the most performance. 3. Bakers can use it to make pies and other circular stuff. 4. Military engineers can use them to balance helicopter blades. 5. Aircraft engineer can use them for propeller efficiency. Scroll to Continue Bakers and a Mnemonic Device to Learn the Circumference and Area Definitions: The real life example that I stop on is Bakers and how they use this with making pies. I bring in two fresh pies to illustrate my point. The reason for this is that I have a cute little mnemonic device to remember the actual formulas for circumference and area. For circumference, I show the class a cherry pie and teach them that "Cherry Pies Delicious" or C = π D. And for area, I then show them an apple pie and teach them that "Apple Pies Are Too" or A = π r2. Now, we will measure the radius and the diameter of each pie and then will find out the area and circumference of both pies from finding both of these out and plugging them into both the formulas we just learned. 1. Apple Pie: The apple pie was baked in a 9 inch pie pan. So we know from this bit of information that the diameter is 9 inches. Well, what is the radius? It will be half of the diameter and be 4.5 inches. So now let us plug into our formula to find both the circumference and area too! So from earlier we know that for circumference, C = π d: C = π 9, (diameter = 9), so C =28.2743338. So if we round to the nearest tenth, the c = 28.3 inches. Now for the area, we know that the formula is A = π r2. So A = π (4.5)2 = π (20.25) =63.61725123519331. Again, let's round and we get the area to the nearest tenth of the circle to be 63.6 inches. 2. Cherry Pie: The cherry pie was baked in a 8 inch pie pan. So we know from this bit of information that the diameter is 8 inches. Well, what is the radius? It will be half of the diameter and be 4 inches. So now let us plug into our formula to find both the circumference and area too! So from earlier we know that for circumference, C = π d: C = π 8, (diameter = 9), so C = 25.132741228718345. So if we round to the nearest tenth, the c = 25.1 inches. Now for the area, we know that the formula is A = π r2. So A = π (4)2 = π (16) = 50.26548245743669. Again, let's round and we get the area to the nearest tenth of the circle to be 50.3 inches. 3. The Difference of the Circumference and Area of the Apple (9 Inch Pan) and Cherry Pie (8 Inch Pan): Circumference Difference: 28.3 inches (Apple Pie Circumference) - 25.1 inches(Cherry Pie Circumference) = 3.2 inches. Area Difference: 63.6 inches (Apple Pie Area) - 50.3 inches (Cherry Pie Area) = 13.3 inches. What we have learned is the at even changing the diameter an inch can change both the circumference and area of the circle ever so slightly. And now once we are done with the actual lesson, I usually offer a piece of either of the pies to anyone who wants to try them. So a good lesson was learned and a tasty reward to boot!! Summing This Lesson Up.. I love this lesson, because it is another hands-on lesson using the two different types of pie something that yet again most middle school students are not only aware of, but interested in. Now, when they hear their parents or someone else speaking of making pies maybe they will remember a bit about the circle definitions and formulas learned even after the topic and test are long over and behind them. And as a teacher that is truly something you hope for that the student takes away something from your lesson and doesn't just forget it once the test is long gone! Anyone who has read any of my other math teaching articles previously will know from them that I am a strong believer in using stuff that interests middle school students to help them learn many of the basic concepts that are a requirement. I truly enjoy engaging my students and showing them how we can use math in everyday life and believe this lesson is another one that does just that. Jennifer on September 18, 2018: Brilliant! Ty!!!! Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on September 17, 2012: Thundermama, I wish I could still be a teacher and it would be my honor and privilege if I were to be able to teach your daughters.

I only wish that I could find another full time job to teach math again. I loved it and miss the chance to make that difference. Seriously, thank you for your lovely words, it mean the world to me :) KDuBarry03 on August 28, 2012: Now this is a great way to teach math and circles! I always dreaded math not because of the subject matter, but the teacher made it so boring! I can see that you are a fun teacher to have and hope your students feel the same way :) Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 28, 2012: Myz, thank you for saying that. I have to tell you the positive feedback really makes me smile, because I know math is not of favorite of many, but did definitely try with my students to infuse the subject with interesting and innovative techniques. Thank you!! DragonBallSuper on August 28, 2012: whew!! very creative Janine!! even me, who hates math really love this hub Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 28, 2012: Richard, you are not alone with math not being your favorite subject. I think I have heard this from others time and time again, including my husband. As always, loved your bit of humor with a square pie being a cobbler, lol :) Seriously thank you for your comment and for all your support!! Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 28, 2012: Rema, thank you so much for saying math would have been your favorite subject if I had been your teacher. Thant truly is very much appreciated. Seriously thank you for all your kindness on here, it is so very much appreciated. God bless you too :) Rich from Kentucky on August 27, 2012: Math has never been a favorite of mine. You seem to make it much easier than when I struggled, but I have yet to see a square pie. In my day, they were called cobblers. Still, an enjoyable lesson, even though I think I gained five pounds in class today! Great Job! Rema T V from Chennai, India on August 27, 2012: Oh My! Janine, I am sure Math would have been my most favorite subject at school if I had a teacher like you or better still if You had been my teacher. Your hubs are great especially the Math lessons (I'm sure to repeat this sentence on your recipe hubs too lol- you seem to be master of everything) and I just loved the Cherry Pies Delicious and Apple Pies R2. Simply wonderful. Very sweet of you to offer a real pie to your students. They are truly blessed. God Bless You. Cheers, Rema. Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 27, 2012: Michelle, I totally love trying new and creative ways to teach math concepts and this one is so fun and tasty too. Seriously thank you for your kind comment, support and for sharing too!! Michelle Liew from Singapore on August 27, 2012: Janine, Area of Circle is one of my fave maths concepts. And you've a delicious, creative way of teaching it!! From a fellow teacher, I'm sharing! Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 27, 2012: Nell, very cute math joke indeed. Seriously, you sound like my husband. He too hated math, but would have loved to have become an architect (he had the art skills for it), but it was the math that kept him from pursuing that career. He always jokes that he hopes our girls get my love and knack for math. Seriously, thank you for stopping by and for your comment too. By the way, the pie would have gotten me too if I didn't love math already lol :) Nell Rose from England on August 27, 2012: Why couldn't you be my teacher? lol! I hated maths with a vengeance! I think it was because I missed a lot of school when I was young through illness and the teachers didn't give a jot. All the tt = rrr etc totally threw me! I always wanted to be a physicist! believe it or not, but just couldn't get the hang of maths, but pies? yep that will do me, better than Pi! haha! I made a math joke! lol! Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 27, 2012: Same here with math being on of my best subjects in school, Jackie. I very much about trying to make learning easier using short cuts and things to make kids remember math topics easier. I am a firm believer in using all this and more to bring these topics home. Thank you so much again for kind words here, so very appreciated! Jackie Lynnley from the beautiful south on August 27, 2012: Math was one of my best subjects and although I never had any problems I know many students did and I tutored in my sophomore year and taught the short cuts I did in my head before tackling a problem. I think anything that makes learning easier or more fun is great. Looks like you have a winner here. Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 27, 2012: Yes if you were in my class, you could definitely eat the pie Terrye lol :) Terrye Toombs from Somewhere between Heaven and Hell without a road map. on August 27, 2012: So, after the lesson, we get to eat the pies? :) Janine Huldie (author) from New York, New York on August 27, 2012: Coming for you, this compliment means the world to me. I would have so enjoyed teaching alongside you too and that would have been totally an awesome experience for me. Thank you seriously for your wonderful comment here as always so very appreciated!! Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on August 27, 2012: So let me get this straight....you tried to find new and creative ways to teach mundane subjects.....my goodness, Janine, you mean you cared enough about the students to do extra??? LOL You are priceless and I would have been proud to have taught alongside of you. Great lesson!
Edit Article # wikiHow to Construct Multiple Squares of Odd Order In a Magic Square there are i) equal number of rows and columns. ii) We have to fill up consecutive numbers, generally beginning with 1 and going up to nxn i.e, n square, such that the total of each row, each column, and the two main diagonals is same. So for a 5x5 squares we will have numbers from 1 to 25 and the total required would be 65 for each row, column and diagonal. For the odd order square let us first look at what is known as THE HINDU RULE. ## Steps 1. 1 The right hand side 7x7 square illustrates the rule using alphabets. Write the first number Aa in the center of the topmost row. Next, write Ab in the lowest space of the vertical column next adjacent to the right. After, inscribe the remaining numbers in their natural order in the squares diagonally upwards towards the right that, upon reaching the right-hand margin, the inscription shall be continued from the left-hand margin in the row just above, and again, on reaching the upper margin, shall be continued from the lower margin in the column next adjacent to the right, noting that whenever we are arrested in our progress by a square already occupied we are to fill out the square next beneath the one we have filled. In this manner, for example, the 7×7 square given below has been formed: • Eb Fd Gf Aa Bc Ce Dg • Fc Ge Ag Bb Cd Df Ea • Gd Af Ba Cc De Eg Fb • Ae Bg Cb Dd Ef Fa Gc • Bf Ca Dc Ee Fg Gb Ad • Cg Db Ed Ff Ga Ac Be • Da Ec Fe Gg Ab Bd Cf • Please note that here Aa means A+a, Bb means B+b, and so on. 2. 2 Give specific values to A’s and a’s. For illustrating the method, let A=0, B=7, C=14, D=21, E=28, F=35, G=42, and a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4,e=5,f=6, and g=7, to get the square given below: • 39 48 01 10 19 28 • 47 07 09 18 27 29 • 06 08 17 26 35 37 • 14 16 25 34 36 45 • 15 24 33 42 44 04 • 23 32 41 43 03 12 • 31 40 49 02 11 20 3. 3 To put it differently, you can start with the center square in the last column and get this 7x7 square: • 12 04 45 37 29 28 • 03 44 36 35 27 19 • 43 42 34 26 18 10 • 41 33 25 17 09 01 • 32 24 16 08 07 48 • 23 15 14 06 47 39 • 21 13 05 46 38 30 • This method is neat and quick. De La Loubere, Envoy of Louis X1V to Siam learnt of this method here. 4. 4 To get multiple squares, start with the central cell of the bottom row, central cell of the first column or the last column as preferred. Giving A’s one of the values from 0,7,14,28,35,42, and a’s one of the values from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 – with the provision that ‘D’ has to be given the value 21, you will be able to cover all numbers from 1 to 49 and get the magic sum of 175. It gives (7!x6!)/4 clear solutions. 5. 5 Alternatively, give A’s one of the values – 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and to a’s – 0,7,14,28,35,42 – with ‘D’ being given the value 4. Of course, no value should be repeated; this automatically ensures that all the numbers are used. You will then be able to generate (7!x6!)/4 squares at one go by this method too. (Please note 7! Stands for 1x2x3x4x5x6x7 and 6! Is 1x2x3x4x5x6) 6. 6 To apply another method which will give an even larger number of squares -- as there is no restriction on the value to be given to the central number, take the 11x11 square by this method. The method is very general. The next line in this square starts with A’s from the 3rd column and a’s from the 4th column in the earlier line. One gets the basic square shown below: • Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk • Cd De Ef Fg Gh Hi Ij Jk Ka Ab Bc • Eg Fh Gi Hj Ik Ja Kb Ac Bd Ce Df • Gj Hk Ia Jb Kc Ad Be Cf Dg Eh Fi • Ib Jc Kd Ae Bf Cg Dh Ei Fj Gk Ha • Ke Af Bg Ch Di Ej Fk Ga Hb Ic Jd • Bh Ci Dj Ek Fa Gb Hc Id Je Kf Ag • Dk Ea Fb Gc Hd Ie Jf Kg Ah Bi Cj • Fc Gd He If Jg Kh Ai Bj Ck Da Eb • Hf Ig Jh Ki Aj Bk Ca Db Ec Fd Ge • Ji Kj Ak Ba Cb Dc Ed Fe Gf Hg Ih • Of course Aa is to be read as A+a, and so on. A’s are to be chosen from 1 to 11 and a’s from 0, 11, 22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110, (i.e. multiples of 11). You thus automatically get all numbers from 1 to 121 and the number of solutions is (11!x11!)/4, with a total of 671 for each row, column and the 2 diagonals. 7. 7 Select the values that the diagonals/rows/columns total come correctly, in cases when some of the alphabets will repeat. In case of 9x9 square it will be seen that A,D,G repeat in one diagonal and a,d,g; b,e,h and c,f,i repeat in the columns. Therefore ensure that A,D,G are so selected that they total 15, and a,d,g; b,e,h: c,f,i so that they each total 108, i.e 1/3rd of 324, which is the total of 0,9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72.. 8. 8 Look at one of the 7x7 square by this method, with numbers from 1 to 49, with a total of 175. A=1. B=2, C=3.D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, and a=0, b=7, c=14, d=21, e=28, f=35, g=42. • 09 17 25 33 41 49 • 32 40 48 07 08 16 • 06 14 15 23 31 39 • 22 30 38 46 05 13 • 45 04 12 20 28 29 • 19 27 35 36 44 03 • 42 43 02 10 18 26
# Power Rule Now that we have some counting from Counting, Permutations and Combinations, the Binomial Theorem, and have seen what a limit and derivative are in Dividing by zero: Imploding the Universe., we are now ready to look at the power rule for derivatives.  We will therefore begin by going through an example, followed by a proof that the rule we come up with will work in general. Example In a calculus class it is often helpful not to dive directly into a proof of something.  Instead, I tend to ease into these proofs by working on an example or two so that we can outline the process.  To this end, I would go through finding the derivatives of a constant k, and the function x and x2 with the students.  The nice things about these examples is that we can check to see if we are correct, because the functions themselves are the tangent lines, and finding the slope is something that has been done before. I won’t run through these here, however, I do want to show how I would find the derivative of f(x)=x3 with my students. To do this, I would remind them that I’m using the same definition we found in Dividing by zero: Imploding the Universe., however, I have substituted an h for Δx since it is a little easier to write.  In order to calculate the derivative of f(x)=x3, I break the process up into four smaller steps.  I first learned this process from Dr. Karl Byleen when teaching a business calculus course with his book Calculus for Business.  The process really just explicitly states what you would naturally do when trying to complete a complicated calculation.  However, by walking your students through this and making them follow the steps, there are significantly fewer mistakes made on homework and tests.  The process is, 1. First find f(x+h) and simplify.  Note that instead of multiplying out (x+h)3, I would instead remind them of the binomial theorem because we will be using this for general case. 2. We would then find and simplify f(x+h)-f(x). 3. Then, find and simplify the entire inside. 4. Finally, find the limit noting that in the limit h is not 0, so we can substitute what we found. We have now shown that that derivative of x3 is 3x2. Even at this point, when combined with the fact that the derivative of x2 is 2x, the students start to see the pattern.  If no one can see it, I will show the derivative x4 is 4x3.  Otherwise, I tell my students that I’m happy they’ve seen the pattern. However, I also take this time to point out that we’ve applied argument due to inductive reasoning.  That is, we saw some examples and tried to expand this.  Is this guaranteed to work?  If they say, yes, I will provide examples of misleading patterns, for example you’re walking and you go up steps.  You’ve moved up 1, 2, 3, 4 steps, what will happen next?  Whatever they choose, pick something different.  That is, if they say you will have moved up 5 steps, state the stair case stopped and you stay at height 4.  If they say 4, say it kept going up.  If they say both, say the staircase ended and you fell back to level 0. The goal here is to show that while we’ve made an educated guess, the pattern may change for some unseen reason.  Therefore, we need to provide a deductive argument to show that the pattern will always hold.  I would then continue to give the proof of the power rule. General Case We are now ready to show the power rule for f(x)=xn for all natural numbers n>1.  I would now point out that our only option is to use the limit definition of derivative. 1. We would first use the binomial theorem to findIf you hadn’t previously explained the binomial theorem, make sure to let your students know what you mean by this notation.  In particular, explain why the first two coefficients are 1 and n, and explain that the rest are just some number. 2. We then subtract f(x) and getNote that since the sum ends at i=n-2, there is still at least one h in each of the terms of the sum. 3. If we now divide by h, we get 4. Finally, taking the limit, we find Seeing that each term in the sum goes to 0 depends on seeing that there are still hs in each term, and you therefore get a number multiplied by 0. We have now proven that the power rule that they saw earlier, is true for all n>1.  That is, not only do we think it will work because we saw a pattern, but we know that it will always work.  I really try to emphasize this to my students so that they will understand the distinction between the guessing and knowing.  I want them to realize that the equations and properties they’ve been using in mathematics aren’t true just because someone claimed them to be true, but rather someone took the time to prove, based on supplied assumptions, that the formulas used are correct. I also point out, that our proof doesn’t work for n=0,1, but we can work with these situations with a few adjustments.  In particular, the above formula would give that the derivative of x is, 1x1-1=x0.  However, the derivative of x is 1.  While these agree for all x except 0, we do note that 00 is undefined.  We have a similar situation if we write 1=x0.  Then the derivative is 0x-1.  Again, there is a distinction between these at x=0, so I state they can use the power rule for these cases with the caveat that they need to be careful at this one point. Conclusion The importance of understanding why something is true and that we don’t just make claims without justification in mathematics is something that I really try to get across to my Calculus students.  I feel like this is normally the first time students are introduced to underlying principles of mathematics.  I hope that I can get a few of them to understand what mathematics will become if they continue with their courses.  Realizing that mathematics isn’t just a box of tools that you pull out, either excites or terrifies students.  Either way, it is good for them to know at this point instead of later in their studies. Next time in this series, we will continue to work with the power rule.  While it may seem we have finished, we have only shown the power rule works for all natural numbers.  However, we will also need to look at the case where the powers are negative or rational.

Since it is October, if you are looking for a Calculus related horror book, I’d suggest reading the above Zombies and Calculus.  It’s a fun story that explains how you can always manage to stay just ahead of the zombies that are trying to get at you. ## 1 thought on “Power Rule” 1.

# What is the unit vector that is normal to the plane containing ( i +k) and ( i + 7 j + 4 k) ? Aug 3, 2016 $\hat{v} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{107}} \cdot \left(\begin{matrix}7 \\ 3 \\ - 7\end{matrix}\right)$ #### Explanation: first, you need to find the vector (cross) product vector, $\vec{v}$, of those 2 co-planar vectors, as $\vec{v}$ will be at right angles to both of these by definition: $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \left\mid \vec{a} \right\mid \left\mid \vec{b} \right\mid \setminus \sin \theta \setminus {\hat{n}}_{\textcolor{red}{a b}}$ computationally, that vector is the determinant of this matrix, ie $\vec{v} = \det \left(\begin{matrix}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 7 & 4\end{matrix}\right)$ $= \hat{i} \left(- 7\right) - \hat{j} \left(3\right) + \hat{k} \left(7\right)$ $= \left(\begin{matrix}- 7 \\ - 3 \\ 7\end{matrix}\right)$ or as we are only interested in direction $\vec{v} = \left(\begin{matrix}7 \\ 3 \\ - 7\end{matrix}\right)$ for the unit vector we have $\hat{v} = \frac{\vec{v}}{\left\mid \vec{v} \right\mid} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{{7}^{2} + {3}^{3} + {\left(- 7\right)}^{2}}} \cdot \left(\begin{matrix}7 \\ 3 \\ - 7\end{matrix}\right)$ $= \frac{1}{\sqrt{107}} \cdot \left(\begin{matrix}7 \\ 3 \\ - 7\end{matrix}\right)$

# 6.5: Subtracting Mixed Numbers by Renaming Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12 ## Introduction Measuring Differences After measuring the window, Travis worked the rest of the day helping his Uncle Larry and Mr. Wilson cut the hole for the window. When they finished, they examined their work and felt good about what they had accomplished. The total height of the wall is 8 ft. Travis is curious about the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling. He knows that there is going to be crown molding that goes around the edge of the room when finished, and he hopes that he can help select the style of crown molding. Travis knows that the window is on a wall that is 8 ft high, and he knows that the distance from the floor to the top of the window space is . Given this information, what is the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling? Travis is stuck on how to work through this problem. He knows that he will need to convert the 8 foot wall to inches and then subtract, but he can’t remember exactly how to do the subtraction. This is where you come in. To accomplish this task, Travis will need to know how to subtract mixed numbers with renaming. This lesson will help you learn all that you need to know!! What You Will Learn In this lesson, you will learn how to complete the following: • Subtract mixed numbers with renaming. • Evaluate numerical expressions involving differences of mixed numbers requiring renaming. • Solve real-world problems involving differences of mixed numbers requiring renaming. Teaching Time I. Subtract Mixed Numbers with Renaming We have already learned about renaming fractions when we have two different denominators. To rename a fraction means that we are going to take the fractions and write an equivalent fraction that has a common denominator. This is an example of renaming one-third to be three-ninths. The fractions are equivalent or equal, but the second fraction has a denominator of 9. Sometimes when we subtract mixed numbers, we must rename the mixed numbers in a different way. What does this mean? It means that when we are subtracting a mixed number from a whole number, we must rename to subtract correctly. Let’s look at an example. Example In this example, we are trying to take a fraction from a whole number. We have to RENAME this whole number to do this. How can we rename 6 to have a whole number part and a fraction part? Think back. Remember when we learned that any fraction where the numerator and the denominator are the same that the fraction is equal to one? or or Do you remember this? Well, if we can take one and rename it as a fraction, then we can use that to help us in our subtraction. In the example above, we need to take 6 and make it a mixed number so that we can subtract. To do this, we borrow a one from the six and make it five. Then we take that one and make it into a fraction that has sixths as a denominator since that is the denominator of the fraction we are subtracting. Next, we rewrite the problem. Example Sometimes, we also have to rename a mixed number if the fraction we are subtracting is larger than the first fraction. Example At first glance, this problem looks simple. We have two mixed numbers. This is unlike the first example where we had a whole number and a mixed number. But watch out!! This one is tricky. Four-ninths is larger than one-ninth. We cannot subtract four-ninths from one-ninth. To make this work, we have to rename the top mixed number! How do we do this? We can do this by changing the whole number six into five and nine-ninths-then we add that to the one-ninth to make larger fraction. Now we can rewrite the problem and subtract. Notice that we simplified, so this is our final answer. Try a few of these on your own. 1. Rename 8 as an equivalent mixed number. Take a few minutes to check your work with a peer. II. Evaluate Numerical Expressions Involving Differences of Mixed Numbers Requiring Renaming Sometimes, you will find numerical expressions that have multiple operations in them, but will that will still require renaming. Example To work on this problem, we need to think of it as two separate problems. Working in order from left to right, we complete the subtraction problem first and then add the final mixed number to the difference. To work on this problem, we first need to rename 5. We rename it to a mixed number equivalent of 5 with a fraction in eighths. Now we can subtract easily. Next, we add this mixed number with the last mixed number in the original expression. Notice that we ended up with an extra whole at the end. This is our answer in simplest form. Here are a few problems for practice. That second one is tricky! Check your work step by step with your neighbor. ## Real Life Example Completed Measuring Differences Now that you have learned all about renaming mixed numbers, you are ready to work with Travis. Here is the problem once again. After measuring the window, Travis worked the rest of the day helping his Uncle Larry and Mr. Wilson cut the hole for the window. When they finished, they examined their work and felt good about what they had accomplished. The total height of the wall is 8 ft. Travis is curious about the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling. Travis knows that the window is on a wall that is 8 ft high, and he knows that the distance from the floor to the top of the window space is 64 . Given this information, what is the distance from the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling? Travis is stuck on how to work through this problem. He knows that he will need to convert the 8 foot wall to inches and then subtract, but he can’t remember exactly how to do the subtraction. First, go back and underline any important information. Let’s convert the 8 ft wall measurement into inches since our window measurement is in inches. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 12 8 = 96 inches. The wall is 96 inches high. Next, we subtract the total from the floor to the top of the window space from the height of the wall. To do this, we are going to need to rename 96 in terms of eighths. Now we can subtract. From the top of the window space to the edge where the wall meets the ceiling is . ## Vocabulary Here are the vocabulary words that are found in this lesson. Rename to write an equivalent form of a whole number or a fraction. Equivalent equal ## Time to Practice Directions: Rename each whole number as a mixed number with a fraction terms of sixths. 1. 4 2. 5 3. 6 4. 10 5. 9 6. 12 Directions: Find each difference.

# SAT Math : How to find consecutive integers ## Example Questions ### Example Question #1 : How To Find Consecutive Integers The sum of three consecutive even integers is 108.  What is the largest number? 36 42 40 38 34 38 Explanation: Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, x+2, x+4.  The sum is 3x+6, which is equal to 108.  Thus, 3x+6=108.  Solving for x yields x=34.  However, the question asks for the largest number, which is x+4 or 38.  Please make sure to answer what the question asks for! You could have also plugged in the answer choices.  If you plugged in 38 as the largest number, then the previous even integer would be 36 and the next previous even integer 34.  The sum of 34, 36, and 38 yields 108. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find Consecutive Integers The sum of three consecutive even integers equals 72. What is the product of these integers? 13800 17472 13728 12144 10560 13728 Explanation: Let us call x the smallest integer. Because the next two numbers are consecutive even integers, we can call represent them as x + 2 and x + 4. We are told the sum of x, x+2, and x+4 is equal to 72. x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72 3x + 6 = 72 3x = 66 x = 22. This means that the integers are 22, 24, and 26. The question asks us for the product of these numbers, which is 22(24)(26) = 13728. The answer is 13728. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find Consecutive Integers Four consecutive integers have a mean of 9.5. What is the largest of these integers? 8 13 12 9 11 11 Explanation: Four consecutive integers could be represented as n, n+1, n+2, n+3 Therefore, by saying that they have a mean of 9.5, we mean to say: (n + n+1 + n+2 + n+ 3)/4 = 9.5 (4n + 6)/4 = 9.5 → 4n + 6 = 38 → 4n = 32 → n = 8 Therefore, the largest value is n + 3, or 11. ### Example Question #4 : How To Find Consecutive Integers The sum of four consecutive odd integers is equal to 96. How many of the integers are prime? 3 1 4 0 2 1 Explanation: Let x be the smallest of the four integers. We are told that the integers are consecutive odd integers. Because odd integers are separated by two, each consecutive odd integer is two larger than the one before it. Thus, we can let + 2 represent the second integer, + 4 represent the third, and + 6 represent the fourth. The sum of the four integers equals 96, so we can write the following equation: x + (+ 2) + (+ 4) + (+ 6) = 96 Combine x terms. 4x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 96 Combine constants on the left side. 4x + 12 = 96 Subtract 12 from both sides. 4x = 84 Divide both sides by 4. x = 21 This means the smallest integer is 21. The other integers are therefore 23, 25, and 27. The question asks us how many of the four integers are prime. A prime number is divisible only by itself and one. Among the four integers, only 23 is prime. The number 21 is divisible by 3 and 7; the number 25 is divisible by 5; and 27 is divisible by 3 and 9. Thus, 23 is the only number from the integers that is prime. There is only one prime integer. The answer is 1. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find Consecutive Integers The sum of three consecutive integers is 60. Find the smallest of these three integers. Explanation: Assume the three consecutive integers equal , , and . The sum of these three integers is 60. Thus, Explanation: ### Example Question #7 : How To Find Consecutive Integers In the repeating pattern 9,5,6,2,1,9,5,6,2,1......What is the 457th number in the sequence? 1 2 5 9 1 5 Explanation: There are 5 numbers in the sequnce. How many numbers are left over if you divide 5 into 457? There would be 2 numbers! The second number in the sequence is 9,5,6,2,1 ### Example Question #8 : How To Find Consecutive Integers If  are consecutive, non-negative integers, how many different values of  are there such that  is a prime number? Explanation: Since  are consecutive integers, we know that at least 2 of them will be even. Since we have 2 that are going to be even, we know that when we divide the product by 2 we will still have an even number.  Since 2 is the only prime that is even, we must have: What we notice, however, is that for , we have the product is 0.  For , we have the product is 24.  We will then never have a product of 4, meaning that is never going to be a prime number. ### Example Question #1 : How To Find Consecutive Integers Four consecutive odd integers have a sum of 32. What are the integers? Explanation: Consecutive odd integers can be represented as x, x+2, x+4, and x+6. We know that the sum of these integers is 32. We can add the terms together and set it equal to 32: x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 32 4x + 12 = 32 4x = 20 x = 5; x+2=7; x+4 = 9; x+6 = 11 Our integers are 5, 7, 9, and 11.
# How do you graph 2x - 3y = 9 using x- and y- intercepts? Mar 19, 2018 See a solution process below: #### Explanation: First, find the y-intercept: Set $x = 0$ and solve for $y$: $\left(2 \cdot 0\right) - 3 y = 9$ $0 - 3 y = 9$ $- 3 y = 9$ $\frac{- 3 y}{\textcolor{red}{- 3}} = \frac{9}{\textcolor{red}{- 3}}$ $y = - 3$ or $\left(0 , - 3\right)$ Next, find the x-intercept: Set $y = 0$ and solve for $x$: $2 x - \left(3 \cdot 0\right) = 9$ $2 x - 0 = 9$ $2 x = 9$ $\frac{2 x}{\textcolor{red}{2}} = \frac{9}{\textcolor{red}{2}}$ $x = \frac{9}{2}$ or $\left(\frac{9}{2} , 0\right)$ We can next plot the two points on the coordinate plane: graph{(x^2+(y+3)^2-0.075)((x-(9/2))^2+y^2-0.075)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]} Now, we can draw a straight line through the two points to graph the line: graph{(2x - 3y - 9)(x^2+(y+3)^2-0.075)((x-(9/2))^2+y^2-0.075)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

It joins slices and makes them whole. Integration is the inverse of Differentiation. To find the derivative of f(x), we use: d/dx(f(x))=g(x) So to calculate the antiderivative, we use – ∫ g(x) dx = f(x) + c Here, c is the constant of integration. Area Function: By definition, ∫ab f(x) dx is the area of the region bounded by the curve y = f(x), the x-axis and the coordinates ‘x = a’ and ‘x = b’. If ‘x’ is a point in [a, b], then ∫ax f(x) dx shows the area under the curve y. First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: If ‘f’ is a continuous function on the closed interval [a, b] and A (x) is the area function. Then A′(x) = f (x), for all x ∈ [a, b]. Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: If ‘f’ is a continuous function defined on the closed interval [a, b] and F is an anti-derivative of ‘f’. Then ab f(x) dx = [F(x)]ab = F(b) – F(a) The area under the curve: For now, we wanted to calculate the area of the curve y=f(x), which will be ∫ f(x) dx = h(x) + c Formulae for Indefinite Integrals: Some of the basic indefinite integrals formulae are: • xn dx =  xn+1 + c ________  (n + 1) • ∫ sin x dx = – cos x + c • ∫ cos x dx = sin x + c • 1 dx = ln x + c x • ∫ ex dx = ex + c Properties of Indefinite Integrals: • Theorem 1 The method of differentiation and integration are the opposite of each other. Proof: If F be the anti-derivative of f, i.e., d⁄dx F(x) = f(x) Then ∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + C Hence, d⁄dx ∫ f(x) dx = d⁄dx [F(x) + C] = d ⁄ dx F(x) = f(x). Similarly, f ′(x) = d ⁄ dx f(x) and hence ∫ f ′(x) dx = f(x) + C. Where C is the constant of integration. • Theorem 2 The integration of the sum of two integrands is the sum of integrations of two integrands. ∫ [f(x) + g(x)] dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx Proof: Using Theorem 1, we have d⁄dx [∫ [f(x) + g(x)] dx] = f(x) + g(x) … (1) d⁄dx [∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx] = d⁄dx ∫ f(x) dx + d⁄dx ∫ g(x) dx = f(x) + g(x) … (2) From (1) and (2), we have, ∫ [f(x) + g(x)] dx = ∫ f(x) dx + ∫ g(x) dx • Theorem 3 Let k be any real number. We can say that, ∫ k f(x) dx = k ∫ f(x) dx. Proof: Using theorem 1, d⁄dx ∫ k  f(x) dx = k f(x) … (1) Also, d⁄dx [∫ k f(x) dx] = k d⁄dx ∫ f(x) dx = k f(x) … (2) From (1) and (2), we have, ∫ k f(x) dx = k ∫ f(x) dx. The above result can be generalized to: ʃ k1 [f1(x) + k2 f2(x) +…+ kn fn(x)] dx = k1 ∫ f1(x) dx + k2 ∫ f2 (x) dx + … + kn ∫ fn(x) dx. ### Exercise-Wise Discussion of Questions in RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 12 Chapter 12 – Indefinite Integrals 1.

# 3rd Class Mathematics Numbers Numbers Category : 3rd Class Numbers • The number system contains ten digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Largest and smallest numbers: • The smallest one digit number is 1. • The largest one digit number is 9. • The smallest two digit number is 10. • The largest two digit number is 99. • The smallest three digit number is 100. • The largest three digit number is 999. • 10 Ones = 1 Ten • 10 Tens = 1 Hundred • 10 Hundreds = 1 Thousand Place Value of each digit in a number: In a four digit number, there are four places named: Ones place. Tens place. Hundreds place and Thousands place. Ex: Ascending Order of numbers: Arranging numbers from the least number to the largest number is called Ascending Order. Ex: 13, 67, 132, 168 are in ascending order Descending Order of numbers: Arranging numbers from the largest number to the least number is called Descending Order. Ex: 168, 132, 67, 13 are in descending order. Symbols used for comparison of two numbers: This is the "equal to” sign. When we use it between two numbers, it means that the numbers on both sides of the sign have the same value. Ex: 53 = 53 This is the "greater than" sign. It is placed between two numbers in such a way that the open side is towards the bigger number. Ex: 43 > 34 This is the “less than" sign. It is placed between two numbers in such a way that the closed side is towards the smaller number. Ex: 57 < 69 Rules for comparison of numbers: Rule 1: A numeral containing more digits is greater. Ex: 163 > 35 Rule 2: If two numerals contain the same number of digits, the numeral having greater digit at the left most place will be greater. Rule 3: If the left most digits are also the same, we go to next digit from left and compare. Successor of a numeral: Successor of a particular numeral comes just after that numeral. So, we can find out the successor of a numeral by adding 1 to the given numeral. Ex : The successor of 99 is 99 + 1 or 100. Predecessor of a numeral: Predecessor of a particular numeral comes just before that numeral. So, we can find out the predecessor of a numeral by subtracting 1 from the number. Ex : The predecessor of 100 is 100 - 1 or 99. Even numbers: The numbers that have 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0 in the ones place are called even numbers. Ex: 4,32, 168, 490 Odd numbers: The numbers that have 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 in the ones place are called odd numbers. #### Other Topics ##### Notes - Numbers You need to login to perform this action.

Courses Courses for Kids Free study material Offline Centres More Store # The line joining two points A (2, 0) and B (3, 1) is rotated about A in anti-clockwise direction through an angle of ${{15}^{\circ }}$ . The equation of the line in the new position, is:A. $\sqrt{3}x-y-2\sqrt{3}=0$B. $x-3\sqrt{y}-2=0$C. $\sqrt{3}x+y-2\sqrt{3}=0$D. $x+\sqrt{3}y-2=0$ Last updated date: 14th Sep 2024 Total views: 420.3k Views today: 10.20k Verified 420.3k+ views Hint: The formula to calculate the slope of a line between two points is given as follows $m=\dfrac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}$ Another formula to calculate the slope of a line is given as follows $m=\tan \theta$ (Where $\theta$ is the angle measured in the anti-clockwise direction made by the line with the x-axis of which the slope is being calculated) As the line is rotated anticlockwise keeping the point A as fixed, so the slope of the new line is increased by ${{15}^{\circ }}$. Hence, in this question, we will first find the slope of the line that joins the two points and then write the slope in terms of tan function. Then we can add the needed rotation and then get the new slope as the rotation is done keeping the point A as fixed and also in the anti-clockwise direction. As mentioned in the question, we have to find the equation of the new line that is formed when the original line is rotated anticlockwise keeping the point A fixed. Now, we know that the slope of a line ‘m’ passing through two given points $\left( {{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}} \right)$ and $\left( {{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}} \right)$ is given by the formula: $m=\dfrac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}$ Thus, we can find the slope of our line using this formula. Putting the value of points A and B in the formula for slope, we get our slope as: $m=\dfrac{1-0}{3-2}=1$ Thus, the slope of the line is 1. We also know that the slope of a line is given by $\tan \theta$ where $\theta$ is the angle made by the line with the x-axis measured in the anticlockwise direction. Hence, the angle made by this line with the x-axis is given as follows \begin{align} & \tan \theta =1 \\ & \Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( 1 \right) \\ & \Rightarrow \theta ={{45}^{\circ }} \\ \end{align} Now, the line is rotated by ${{15}^{\circ }}$, hence, the angle made by the rotated line will be ${{15}^{\circ }}$ more than the angle made by the line when it was not rotated. Let this angle be $\alpha$. Thus, the angle $\alpha$ made by the line with the x-axis is given as: \begin{align} & \alpha ={{45}^{\circ }}+{{15}^{\circ }} \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha ={{60}^{\circ }} \\ \end{align} Thus, the slope of the new line obtained is given by: \begin{align} & m=\tan \alpha \\ & m=\tan {{60}^{\circ }} \\ & m=\sqrt{3} \\ \end{align} Now, we know that when a line has a fixed slope ‘m’ and it passes through a fixed point (h,k), then its equation is given as: $y-k=m\left( x-h \right)$ Now, we know that our required line has a slope of $\sqrt{3}$ and it passes through the fixed point A given by (2,0). Hence, the equation of the new line can be written as follows: \begin{align} & y-0=\sqrt{3}\left( x-2 \right) \\ & \Rightarrow y=\sqrt{3}x-2\sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x-y-2\sqrt{3}=0 \\ \end{align} Therefore, the equation of the new line is given as: $\sqrt{3}x-y-2\sqrt{3}=0$ So, the correct answer is “Option A”. Note: Remember while measuring the angle made by the line with the x-axis, it is always measured in the anticlockwise direction. If we measure it in the clockwise direction, we should add a minus (-) sign in front of it otherwise it will result in an error in the solution. We also could have used a different general equation to find our required equation given by: $y=mx+c$ Where, ‘m’ is the slope of the line and ‘c’ is the y-intercept. Here, $m=\sqrt{3}$ Thus, putting this value in the general equation we get: $y=\sqrt{3}x+c$ But we know that this line also passes through the point A(2,0). Thus, by putting this point in the equation, we will get the value of ‘c’. It is given as: \begin{align} & 0=\sqrt{3}.2+c \\ & \Rightarrow c=-2\sqrt{3} \\ \end{align} Thus, our equation will become: \begin{align} & y=\sqrt{3}x-2\sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x-y-2\sqrt{3}=0 \\ \end{align}

See the rest of this exceptionally good presentation  here.pdf Laolu from the same school went to great lengths, as did Angus, to produce another presentation: The full pdf can be found  here.pdf Bethany from Christ Church sent in the following explanation: Step 1. Bag 1 has to have 1 penny in it to make 1 pence. Step 2. To make 2 pence, bag two has to either have 1 penny or 2 pennies in it. However, if it has 1 penny in it, you can't make 3 pence. This would mean we would need yet another 1 penny to make 3 pence, so Bag 2 has to have two pennies in it. Step 3. You can now make 1, 2 and 3 pence, but not four. This means that bag 3 has to have either 1, 2 or 4 pence inside it. Again, using a 1 pence or a two pence would mean you wouldn't be able to make higher values, so bag 3 has to have 4 pennies in it. Step 4. You can now make all values up to 7 pence, so the next bag needs to hold a 1 pence, 2 pennies, 3 pennies, 4 pennies, 6 pennies or 7 pennies. however, (yet again!) this choice becomes easier when you think of the other values up to 15 pence. The only number of pennies you can have in this bag to ensure you could make all other digits is 8 pennies. Solution: Bag 1 has 1 penny, bag 2 has 2 pennies, bag 3 has 4 pennies and bag 4 has 8 pennies. Another way of proving this is using base two. As you can see, we can use just the numbers in base two as the numbers of pennies, as I am going to prove below: You can continue this chart forever, and it shows how every value can be made. From Neve and Saba recorded their work in this way: Number of bags 1 2 3 4 5 6 Amount of money 1p 2p 4p 8p 16p 32p Total money you can get 1p 3p 7p 15p 31p 63p It would go on with the amount of money in the bags doubling (which is the pattern, we found out) forever! We get our totals like this: Number of bags 1 2 Amount of money. 1p 2p 4p Total money you can get 1p 3p 7p We added up the amounts of money in each of the bags to get the amount of money in the total column.                                                              1p+2p+4p=7p Rik from Cheongna Dalton School in South Korea, who was the youngest to send in their work, sent in this: My mind put 1 penny in the first money bag. Then 2 pennies for the second money bag. But not 3 pennies for the third money bag. I put 4 pennies since I couldn't make four. Then 4+1=5. Then 4+2=6. Then 4+2+1=7. So I put 8 pennies in the last money bag. Then 8+1=9. Then 8+2=10. Then 8+2+1=11. Then 8+4=12. Then 8+4+1=13. Then 8+4+2=14. Then if you add all of them together it equals 15. Year 4 at Abbey Primary School sent in their solution as a picture that shows all the combinations, well done! Thank you to all who sent in their solutions.  It's good to see the different ways of working and presenting.

Comparing decimals involves identifying which decimal is greater than (>), less than (<) or equal to (=) the other decimal to which it is being compared. With the knowledge of decimal place value, decimals can be compared easily. Example 1 Put in (>, < or =) a) 24 _____ 3.89 b) 821 _____ 24.102 c) 2 ______ 98.75 d) 2 ______ 8.4739 Solution a) 24˃3.89 Looking at the whole numbers, 8 is larger than 3, therefore 8.24 is greater than 3.89. b) 821 ˂ 24.102 Comparing whole numbers, 24 is greater than 16, therefore, 16.821 is less than 24.102 c) 2˃98.75 865 is greater than 98, therefore, 865.2 is greater. d) 2˃ 8.4739 In this example, one may wonder why the number with a greater number of digits isn’t the greater decimal. However, the number of digits in a decimal does not particularly play any role in comparison if the whole numbers are different. Therefore 9.2 is greater than 8.4739. Example 2 Compare these: a) 2 _____ 4.9 b) 25 _____ 16.09 c) 182 ______ 6.190 d) 241 ______ 5.247 Solution Example 3 Put in >,< or = Solution Unit 10 Lesson 6: Exercise 1 Compare the following decimals using >, < or = 1) 8.6 _______ 8.9       2) 2.65 ________ 3.65 3) 7.953 ________ 7.928       4) 2.976 _______ 9.5 5) 5.148 ________ 5.142       6) 19.11 _______ 19.28 7) 0.87 ________ 0.09       8) 0.47 ________ 4.07 9) 240.8 ________ 248.0       10) 0.4 ________ 0.41 Unit 10 Lesson 6: Exercise 2 Unit >, < or = to make each statement true. error: Content is protected !!

# Circle Theorems: What Are They? Describe The Various Circle Theorems Assignment Help   9th May 2023 Circle theorems are a set of rules and formulas that apply to circles and their components. They are an essential topic in mathematics and geometry, and form the basis of many mathematical concepts. In this blog post, we will explore the different types of circle theorems and their applications. Before we dive into the circle theorems Assignment Help themselves, let's first review some basic terminology related to circles. A circle is a two-dimensional shape that consists of all points that are equidistant from a given point called the center. The distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius. The diameter is the distance across the circle through the center, and it is twice the length of the radius. Now let's move on to the circle theorems. There are several types of circle theorems, including angle theorems, tangent theorems, and chord theorems. Each type of theorem is useful in solving different types of problems. ## Angle Theorems: Angle at the center theorem: The angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference that it subtends. Angles in the same segment theorem: The angles that are subtended by the same arc in a circle are equal. Angles in a semicircle theorem: The angle subtended by a diameter of a circle is a right angle. ### Tangent Theorems: Tangents from an external point theorem: If a line is drawn from a point outside a circle to the circle, then the two tangents drawn to the circle from that point are equal in length. Tangents to a circle from a point theorem: If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an external point, the tangents are equal in length. ### Chord Theorems: Intersecting chords theorem: If two chords intersect within a circle, the products of the lengths of the segments of one chord are equal to the products of the lengths of the segments of the other chord. Equal chords theorem: Chords that are equal in length are equidistant from the center of the circle. Perpendicular bisector theorem: The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle. These are just a few examples of the many circle theorems that exist. Each theorem has its own unique application and can be used to solve different types of problems. You can get best cheap assignment help australia from BookMyEssay. In addition to the circle theorems themselves, there are also several formulas and equations that are useful when working with circles. These include the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle, and π is a constant value approximately equal to 3.14. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. So, why are circle theorems important? They are useful in many different fields, including engineering, physics, and even art. For example, architects use circle theorems to design buildings and structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. Engineers use circle theorems to design bridges and other structures that can withstand high levels of stress and strain. Even artists use circle theorems to create works of art that are based on geometric principles. In conclusion, circle theorems are an essential topic in mathematics and geometry. They provide a set of rules and formulas that can be used to solve a wide range of problems related to circles and their components. Whether you are an engineer, architect, artist, or mathematician, understanding circle theorems is essential for success in your field.

# Comparing and Ordering Integers Home > By Subject > Integers > Comparing and Ordering Integers Why Are Big Negative Numbers Less Than Small Ones? We are used to big positive numbers meaning a big value - the bigger the number, the more, or higher, or longer, or expensive, or whatever the number represents. With negative numbers, we have to remember that as the digit gets bigger, the number gets smaller. Think what the number represents. Think what the value is. • The amount of money you have gets lower the more you owe. • The temperature gets lower, the colder it gets • The more you take away, the less you have Looking at numbers on a vertical number line can be useful. Zero is neither positive or negative ### Examples of Comparing Integers Which is greater, -5 or -3? Locate both numbers on the number line. Numbers to the right are greater. -3 is to the right of -5 so -3 is greater. Put the following numbers in order starting with the least. -23, 17, -32, 2, -4, 0 Start looking at the negative numbers as these are always less than positive numbers. Start with the "biggest" negative number ( -32) as that has the lowest value. Find the next "biggest" negative number (-23) and continue until the negative numbers are in order. Zero and positive numbers can then be put into order to give the following complete list: -32 , -23 , -4 , 0 , 2 , 17 Which of these numbers is greater than -6 but less than 4? -8, -10, 5, -4, 0 Start be finding all the numbers that are less than -6. This gets rid of -8 and -10 (to the left of -6 on the number line). Next we'll get rid of any number that is greater (not less) than 4. This means 5 is out leaving: -4 and 0 Try these worksheets to practice with using integers.

# Show that for any integer $n\ge5$, the inequality ${2n \choose n}>3^n$ holds. I used induction, but got stuck at the last step. By cancelling common factors in the expanded $2n$ choose $n$, I got a simpler equation that didn't make sense.How do i prove this inequality? • What is this "simpler equation"? Induction is the way to go here, and the algebra is not at all complicated $-$ you just have to show that ${{2n+2}\choose {n+1}} \ge 3{{2n}\choose n}$ for $n \ge 5$. Apr 10, 2017 at 21:21 The main step is to prove for $n+1$ then $${2(n+1)\choose n+1}=\frac{(2n+2)!}{(n+1)!(n+1)!}=\frac{(2n+2)(2n+1)}{(n+1)^2}{2n\choose n}=\frac{2(2n+1)}{(n+1)}{2n\choose n}$$ Using the hypothesis $${2(n+1)\choose n+1}>\frac{2(2n+1)}{(n+1)}\cdot 3^n$$ but $$\frac{2(2n+1)}{n+1}=\frac{4n+2}{n+1}=\frac{3(n+1)+(n-1)}{n+1}=3+\frac{n-1}{n+1}>3$$ so, $${2(n+1)\choose n+1}>\frac{2(2n+1)}{(n+1)}\cdot 3^n>3\cdot 3^n=3^{n+1}$$ Here's a slightly goofier approach: By the binomial theorem, we have $4^n=\sum_{k=0}^{2n} \binom{2n}{k}$. Since $\binom{2n}{n}$ is the largest of these $2n+1$ summands, it is at least as large as the average of the summands. So $\binom{2n}{n} \geq \frac{4^n}{2n+1}$. I claim that $\frac{4^n}{2n+1}>3^n$ for all $n \geq 11$. This can be proved by induction: it is true for $n=11$, and if it is true for some fixed $n\geq 11$, then $$\frac{4^{n+1}}{3^{n+1}}=\frac{4}{3}\frac{4^n}{3^n}>\frac{4}{3}(2n+1)>2n+3$$ (this last inequality holds for all $n \geq 3$). So the result is true for $n \geq 11$. It only remains to check that it is true for $n=5,6,7,8,9,10$, which is a straightforward computation. Since $\binom{2m+2n}{m+n}\ge\binom{2m}m\binom{2n}n,$ the set $\{n:\binom{2n}n\ge3^n\}$ is closed under addition. Therefore, in order to show that the inequality holds for all $n\ge5,$ it's enough to verify it for $n=5,6,7,8,9.$ Two useful identities: $$\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n}{k}\binom{n-1}{k-1}$$ $$\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}$$ Applied here. $$\binom{2n+2}{n+1}=\frac{2n+2}{n+1}\binom{2n+1}{n}=\frac{2n+2}{n+1}\binom{2n+1}{n+1}=\frac{(2n+2)(2n+1)}{(n+1)^2}\binom{2n}{n}$$ Then just get lower bounds $$\frac{(2n+2)(2n+1)}{(n+1)^2} \geq 3$$ which is straight forwards. Let $a=\frac{(2n)!}{n!n!}$. Given that $a>3^n$ show $\frac{(2n+1)(2n+2)}{(n+1)^2}a > 3^{n+1}$. $\frac{4n^2+7n+2}{n^2+2n+1}a > 3*3^n$. Since $a>3^n$ it is sufficient to show that $\frac{4n^2+7n+2}{n^2+2n+1} > 3$. $$4n^2+7n+2 > 3n^2+6n+3$$$$n^2+n-1 > 0$$ which is clearly true for $n\geq 5$
# How do you solve the system of equations x+y=14 and -x+y=16? Apr 4, 2018 $\left(x , y\right) = \left(- 1 , 15\right)$ #### Explanation: The end goal is to get an equation in terms of one variable, which can be solved. We can solve using substitution. We'll need to pick one of our equations and solve for $x$ or $y .$ It does not matter which equation is used for this purpose, nor does it matter which variable is solved for. This is a nice system, solving for either variable in either equation will be equally easy. Let's take $x + y = 14$: $y = 14 - x$ Now, we can replace all $y$ in the other equation, $- x + y = 16$, with $14 - x :$ $- x + y = 16$ $- x + 14 - x = 16$ $- 2 x = 16 - 14$ $- 2 x = 2$ $x = - 1$ To solve for $y ,$ we can just back-substitute the above result into $y = 14 - x :$ $y = 14 - \left(- 1\right)$ $y = 15$ Thus, $\left(x , y\right) = \left(- 1 , 15\right)$

## Multiple Solutions Part 2: Celebrating Different Methods (Lesson 1) Last year I taught two lessons on constructing equations to a top set year 8 class. In the first lesson I set 3 questions for the students to attempt in any way they saw fit.  It’s important to note that I did not tell them that they could construct equations to solve the problems. I wanted them to do whatever felt natural rather than leading them into a certain strategy.  The questions I set are shown below: 1)     I think of a number, add 7, multiply by 3, subtract 3, divide by 6, then multiply by 12. The answer is 72. Find the number I was thinking of. 2)     The number in each square is the sum of the numbers on either side. Find the missing numbers in the circles. 3)     Adrienne has three times as many dollars as Karim. Adrienne gives Karim \$20. She then has \$5 more dollars than Karim. How much does Adrienne have now? While they were doing the problems I circulated around the room to get a sense of the strategies being used. As I suspected all but one of the pairs started with an algebraic approach. I didn’t anticipate however that some of them would struggle to write down the correct equation. These students reverted to what they had learnt in year 7 and worked back from 72 using inverse operations. I helped the one pair who persisted with the algebraic approach by leading them into the structure shown below. In this way, the pair would later be able to explain why the inverse operation technique worked to the rest of the class. ([3(x + 7) – 3]/6) × 12 = 72 Once every pair had moved onto question 2 we stopped to discuss the solution to question 1. I praised the entire group for finding some interesting strategies and asked a pair who had used the inverse operation technique to explain their reasoning. Once they had given an adequate explanation I asked the pair who’d struggled on the algebraic technique to explain their strategy on the other side of the board through slowly constructing the equation. It became immediately obvious to the class that the algebraic technique was in fact identical to the inverse operation technique. The main advantage of the algebraic technique being that it is elegantly communicated and provides an explanation as to why the inverse technique works. On question 2 most of the pairs used a numerical trial and error technique and every single pair arrived at the correct solution quite quickly. Again, once I saw that everyone had finished I asked one pair who had used a structured table to order their trials to come to the board and then another pair who had successfully used an algebraic strategy shown below. (30 – x) + (23 – x) = 25 53 – 2x = 25 x = 18            etc. (Note: I neglected to show the approach of using three different variables and then constructing 3 seperate equations at this point since I wanted the idea of using different algebraic approaches to hit them in the next lesson.) The pair made a decent attempt to explain why the bottom left and right circles were 30-x and 23-x but struggled to get it across to the rest of the class. I therefore intervened and used a diagram to help explain it. Once this was verified, which is indeed the most important part of this strategy, the students were easily able to solve the equation and find the three missing values. It’s important to note that we did discuss that the positioning of x could have been in any one of the three circles. At this point in the lesson it was blindingly obvious that the students were impressed and intrigued by the algebraic strategies and were enthused to try to use an algebraic strategy for the last question. All pairs with the exception of one started by trying to construct an equation to solve the problem. Many of them became quickly confused with the algebraix approach and reverted back to trial and error until they eventually found a solution. One pair however persisted with an algebraic approach until they derived two simultaneous equations to solve the problem. Incidentally this pair was made up of two girls who’ve recently moved to Brazil from Japan and South Korea (This is something I will come back in an upcoming post). You may think at this point that it’s possible that one of them could have seen a similar question before. I do feel that they struggled on the problem and am confident that this was not the case. I asked them to explain their strategy on the board which was written as follows: A = 3K A – 20 = K + 5 3K – 20 = K + 5 K = 12.5 and therefore A = 37.5
# How to Find the Median Last updated Sep 02, 2021 Posted in Yard & Patio Median is a statistical measure of central tendency, it simply represents the middle value in a set of data. The median is commonly described as the 50th percentile, or 50 percent. In other words, if we have 10 scores in a set and for every 10 scores in the set there are 2 others that are higher than it and for every 10 scores there are 4 others that are lower than it then the score at 50th percentile would be 2 and so on. So when we find a score in a set that is just below 50% then this score is said to be "median". In statistics, usually what we want to know I’m sure you’ve heard by now is how many people or items should appear at least once in each row or column of data ## How do I calculate the median? The median is a statistical tool which gives a rough estimate of the middle value between two numbers. It is commonly used in statistics courses to determine which data value has been found to be closest to the middle value. In this topic, we will learn how to calculate the median and compare it with other numbers. ## How do you find the median quickly? While it is sometimes difficult to find the median of the many data sets that exist in social media, analytics firm Sentient has developed a method to determine the best answer quickly. ## How do you find the median of an example? In a research, finding the median of an example is important for finding the average level of the data. The median is a key figure in statistics and it can be found in most examples. For instance, if you want to find the median salary of your employees or if you want to find out if it’s possible to make two groups of people happy at your company (e.g., same income/salary). Try to find it yourself! ## What is the easiest way to find the median in math? A common problem for math students is finding the median in a group of numbers. This problem can be solved by using a tool like: ## How do you find the median in math step by step? A mathematical concept that has been simplified and made popular in the last years. The mean is often used to represent the middle point (or average) of a set of numbers. Often, this term brings to mind the notion of “average” or “middle” in terms of sales, marketing or product development. ## What is the fastest way to find the median? One of the most popular statistics is the median. It looks like this: The median is the number that comes between two numbers. For example, if you asked me what is my favorite movie, I would say "Two hours ago" but if you asked "What movie do you like", I may come up with something different - "Two hours ago" or "I don't know". The median is also known as the middle answer. But now, let’s see what would happen if we ask it with a computer instead of a human. We could start by asking us to make such a calculation and get an answer: (My favorite movie) at (Timezone). Let's go through some examples: (2/3) at 7pm - (3/5), ## How do I find the median shortcut? Finding the median shortcut is something most of us wish to do over and over again. But, with so many different ways of doing it, how can we do it efficiently? The typical approach is getting the median of two numbers or a value. Let’s see how automated approaches can be used to find the median shortcut. ## How do you find the median in math for kids? Suggestion to use the median in math for kids. Section topic: What are your recommendations for young people? Section keywords: Introduction: Recommendations for young people. ## How do you find the median for dummies? In this blog post, I will share some statistical information on how to find the median for a dummy variable. This will be useful when you are trying to find a specific value in a table. This blog post provides an introduction on the dummies and statistics/facet of dummies for more details can be found at: ## Conclusion The big data scientists are increasingly focusing on the "how to" rather than the "what to" when it comes to optimization. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of their workflows and processes, leading them to focus on finding solutions that can help them accomplish these goals. A company can use big data analysis in several different ways - for example, by identifying different segments of customers that need more personalized attention or by identifying possible new products or features they could offer. Most companies do not just want to optimize their processes they also want better outcomes from these processes using data science methods.  However, there is a big difference between analytics and machine learning - some people think that some forms of analytics are more appropriate for some businesses while others think that machine learning is not applicable at all

## Pages ### Sum of reciprocal squares Today we will look at a very fascinating proof due to Euler for the following identity: $$\frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{4^2} + \frac{1}{5^2} + \dots = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ The mathematician Euler formulated this proof in 1734 when he was 28 year old. We will present Euler's proof step by step. Step 1. Using Taylor series expansion for $f(x) = \sin(x)$ We have $$f(x) = \sin(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f(0) = 0$$ $$f'(x) = \cos(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f'(0) = 1$$ $$f''(x) = -\sin(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f''(0) = 0$$ $$f^{(3)}(x) = -\cos(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f^{(3)}(0) = -1$$ $$f^{(4)}(x) = \sin(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f^{(4)}(0) = 0$$ $$f^{(5)}(x) = \cos(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f^{(5)}(0) = 1$$ $$f^{(6)}(x) = -\sin(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f^{(6)}(0) = 0$$ $$f^{(7)}(x) = -\cos(x) ~\Rightarrow ~ f^{(7)}(0) = -1$$ So the Taylor series for the function $f(x) = \sin(x)$ is as follows: $$f(x) = f(0) + f'(0) x + \frac{f''(0)}{2!} x^2 + \frac{f^{(3)}(0)}{3!} x^3 + \frac{f^{(4)}(0)}{4!} x^4 + \dots + \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!} x^n + \dots$$ $$\sin(x) = x - \frac{1}{3!} x^3 + \frac{1}{5!} x^5 - \frac{1}{7!} x^7 + \dots$$ $$\sin(x) = x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \frac{x^7}{7!} + \dots$$ Step 2. Express $\sin(x)$ as product of linear factors Since the equation $f(x) = \sin(x) = 0$ has the following roots $$x=0, ~x = \pm \pi, ~x = \pm 2 \pi, ~x = \pm 3 \pi, \dots$$ we have $$\sin(x) = C x (x - \pi)(x + \pi)(x - 2\pi)(x + 2 \pi)(x - 3\pi)(x + 3\pi) \dots$$ $$\sin(x) = C x (x^2 - \pi^2)(x^2 - 2^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 3^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 4^2 \pi^2) \dots$$ Step 3. Combining step 1 and step 2 Comparing the two representations of $\sin(x)$ in step 1 and step 2, we have $$\sin(x) = x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \frac{x^7}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= C x (x^2 - \pi^2)(x^2 - 2^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 3^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 4^2 \pi^2) \dots$$ So $$1 - \frac{x^2}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{5!} - \frac{x^6}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= C (x^2 - \pi^2)(x^2 - 2^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 3^2 \pi^2)(x^2 - 4^2 \pi^2) \dots$$ Substitute $x^2$ by $x$, we have $$1 - \frac{x}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{5!} - \frac{x^3}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= C (x - \pi^2)(x - 2^2 \pi^2)(x - 3^2 \pi^2)(x - 4^2 \pi^2) \dots$$ Step 4. Normalization to get rid of the constant factor $C$ If we have an equation of the form $$f(x) = C g_1(x) g_2(x) g_3(x) \dots$$ we can get rid of the constant factor $C$ by normalization as follows $$\frac{f(x)}{f(0)} = \frac{g_1(x)}{g_1(0)} \frac{g_2(x)}{g_2(0)} \frac{g_3(x)}{g_3(0)} \dots$$ With the equation that we have in step 3 $$1 - \frac{x}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{5!} - \frac{x^3}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= C (x - \pi^2)(x - 2^2 \pi^2)(x - 3^2 \pi^2)(x - 4^2 \pi^2) \dots$$ by normalization, we obtain $$1 - \frac{x}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{5!} - \frac{x^3}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= \frac{(x - \pi^2)}{-\pi^2} \frac{(x - 2^2 \pi^2)}{-2^2 \pi^2} \frac{(x - 3^2 \pi^2)}{-3^2 \pi^2} \frac{(x - 4^2 \pi^2)}{-4^2 \pi^2} \dots$$ $$= (1 - \frac{x}{\pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{2^2 \pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{3^2 \pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{4^2 \pi^2})\dots$$ Step 5. Use Vieta formula Comparing the coefficients of $x$ in both sides of the equation $$1 - \frac{x}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{5!} - \frac{x^3}{7!} + \dots$$ $$= (1 - \frac{x}{\pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{2^2 \pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{3^2 \pi^2}) (1 - \frac{x}{4^2 \pi^2})\dots$$ we have $$- \frac{x}{3!} = - \frac{x}{\pi^2} - \frac{x}{2^2 \pi^2} - \frac{x}{3^2 \pi^2} - \frac{x}{4^2 \pi^2} - \dots$$ Therefore, $$\frac{1}{3!} = \frac{1}{\pi^2} + \frac{1}{2^2 \pi^2} + \frac{1}{3^2 \pi^2} + \frac{1}{4^2 \pi^2} + \dots$$ Thus, we obtain $$\frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{4^2} + \dots =\frac{\pi^2}{3!}= \frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ Let us stop here for now. In the homework section, you can try Euler's method with the function $f(x) = \cos(x)$ to derive another proof of the above identity. Hope to see you again next time. Homework. 1. Show that the Taylor series for $f(x) = \cos(x)$ is as follows $$\cos(x) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^6}{6!} + \dots$$ 2. Using the fact that the equation $\cos(x) = 0$ has the following roots $$x = \pm \frac{\pi}{2}, ~x = \pm \frac{3 \pi}{2}, ~x = \pm \frac{5 \pi}{2}, \dots$$ show that $$\cos(x) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^6}{6!} + \dots = (1 - \frac{4 x^2}{\pi^2})(1 - \frac{4 x^2}{3^2 \pi^2})(1 - \frac{4 x^2}{5^2 \pi^2}) \dots$$ 3. Prove that $$\frac{1 }{1^2} + \frac{1 }{3^2} + \frac{1 }{5^2} + \dots = \frac{\pi^2}{8}$$ 4. Prove that $$\frac{1 }{1^2} + \frac{1 }{3^2} + \frac{1 }{5^2} + \dots = \frac{3}{4} \left( \frac{1 }{1^2} + \frac{1 }{2^2} + \frac{1 }{3^2} + \frac{1 }{4^2} + \dots \right)$$ thus deriving $$\frac{1 }{1^2} + \frac{1 }{2^2} + \frac{1 }{3^2} + \frac{1 }{4^2} + \dots = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ 5.

# 1.1 Functions and function notation  (Page 10/21) Page 10 / 21 Why does the horizontal line test tell us whether the graph of a function is one-to-one? When a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function more than once, that indicates that for that output there is more than one input. A function is one-to-one if each output corresponds to only one input. ## Algebraic For the following exercises, determine whether the relation represents a function. $\left\{\left(a,b\right),\left(b,c\right),\left(c,c\right)\right\}$ function For the following exercises, determine whether the relation represents $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ as a function of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ $5x+2y=10$ $y={x}^{2}$ function $x={y}^{2}$ $3{x}^{2}+y=14$ function $2x+{y}^{2}=6$ $y=-2{x}^{2}+40x$ function $y=\frac{1}{x}$ $x=\frac{3y+5}{7y-1}$ function $x=\sqrt{1-{y}^{2}}$ $y=\frac{3x+5}{7x-1}$ function ${x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=9$ $2xy=1$ function $x={y}^{3}$ $y={x}^{3}$ function $y=\sqrt{1-{x}^{2}}$ $x=±\sqrt{1-y}$ function $y=±\sqrt{1-x}$ ${y}^{2}={x}^{2}$ not a function ${y}^{3}={x}^{2}$ For the following exercises, evaluate the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ at the indicated values $f\left(x\right)=2x-5$ $\begin{array}{cccc}f\left(-3\right)=-11;& f\left(2\right)=-1;& f\left(-a\right)=-2a-5;& -f\left(a\right)=-2a+5;\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(a+h\right)=2a+2h-5\end{array}$ $f\left(x\right)=-5{x}^{2}+2x-1$ $f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{2-x}+5$ $\begin{array}{cccc}f\left(-3\right)=\sqrt{5}+5;& f\left(2\right)=5;& f\left(-a\right)=\sqrt{2+a}+5;& -f\left(a\right)=-\sqrt{2-a}-5;\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(a+h\right)=\end{array}$ $\sqrt{2-a-h}+5$ $f\left(x\right)=\frac{6x-1}{5x+2}$ $f\left(x\right)=|x-1|-|x+1|$ Given the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)=5-{x}^{2},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ evaluate $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{g\left(x+h\right)-g\left(x\right)}{h},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\ne 0.$ Given the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)={x}^{2}+2x,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ evaluate $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{g\left(x\right)-g\left(a\right)}{x-a},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\ne a.$ $\frac{g\left(x\right)-g\left(a\right)}{x-a}=x+a+2,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\ne a$ Given the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}k\left(t\right)=2t-1:$ 1.

Tommy thanks Tommy Nimo "7"has an open circle and "10"has a filled in circle who can I have a set builder notation x=-b+_Гb2-(4ac) ______________ 2a I've run into this: x = r*cos(angle1 + angle2) Which expands to: x = r(cos(angle1)*cos(angle2) - sin(angle1)*sin(angle2)) The r value confuses me here, because distributing it makes: (r*cos(angle2))(cos(angle1) - (r*sin(angle2))(sin(angle1)) How does this make sense? Why does the r distribute once so good abdikarin this is an identity when 2 adding two angles within a cosine. it's called the cosine sum formula. there is also a different formula when cosine has an angle minus another angle it's called the sum and difference formulas and they are under any list of trig identities strategies to form the general term carlmark consider r(a+b) = ra + rb. The a and b are the trig identity. Mike How can you tell what type of parent function a graph is ? generally by how the graph looks and understanding what the base parent functions look like and perform on a graph William if you have a graphed line, you can have an idea by how the directions of the line turns, i.e. negative, positive, zero William y=x will obviously be a straight line with a zero slope William y=x^2 will have a parabolic line opening to positive infinity on both sides of the y axis vice versa with y=-x^2 you'll have both ends of the parabolic line pointing downward heading to negative infinity on both sides of the y axis William y=x will be a straight line, but it will have a slope of one. Remember, if y=1 then x=1, so for every unit you rise you move over positively one unit. To get a straight line with a slope of 0, set y=1 or any integer. Aaron yes, correction on my end, I meant slope of 1 instead of slope of 0 William what is f(x)= I don't understand Joe Typically a function 'f' will take 'x' as input, and produce 'y' as output. As 'f(x)=y'. According to Google, "The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain."

Select Page Get the free Identify Functions worksheet and other resources for teaching & understanding solving Identify Functions ## How to Determine Functions the Easy Way In order to Identify Functions from a Graph and Table you must first understand what a function is. A function is a mathematical relationship where every input has one, and only one, output. In other words, all inputs must have exactly one output. If there is more then one output for one input, then the relationship is not a function. When Identifying Functions from a Graph you must look at the graph to determine if each x-value only has one y-value associated with it. An easy way to tell if a graph is a function is to see if it passes the Vertical Line Test. If you can draw a vertical line anywhere on the grid and it crosses the equation in more then one place then it does not pass the test and is not a function. When Identifying Functions from a Table you need to determine if each x-value has only one y-value associated with it. if there is more then one y-value associated with any x-value, then it is not a function. Common Core Standard: 8.F.A.1 Basic Topics: ## The Concise Function Definition in Math To answer how to determine Functions from a Graph and Table you need to know that a function is a relationship where each input has one, and just one, output. In the event that there are two outputs for one input, then that relationship is not a function. When Identifying Functions from a Graph you should look at the graph to decide whether every x-value has only one y-value related with it. A simple method to tell if a diagram is a capacity is to check whether it finishes the Vertical Line Test. You can draw a vertical line anyplace on the graph and if it crosses the equation more then once, then it is not a function. When finding how to determine Functions from a Table you have to decide whether every x-value has just a single y-value related with it. Check to make sure each x has only one y. This is the simplest way for finding how to identify a function. ## 3 Steps for Identifying all Relations and Functions Worksheet Problems 1. Functions have one output for each input. 2. If you are given a graph, you can use the vertical line test to see if the equation is a function. 3. If you are given a table, you must check each x value to make sure there is only one y values associated with it. ## Identifying Functions Practice Problems /5 Triangle Sum Theorem Quiz Click Start to begin the practice quiz! 1 / 5 Find x for the missing angle measure of the following triangle: Angle 1: 23 degrees Angle 2: 132 degrees Angle 3: x degrees 2 / 5 Find x for the missing angle measure of the following triangle: Angle 1: 67 degrees Angle 2: x degrees Angle 3: 98 degrees 3 / 5 Find x for the missing angle measure of the following triangle: Angle 1: 45 degrees Angle 2: 60 degrees Angle 3: x degrees 4 / 5 Find x for the missing angle measure of the following triangle: Angle 1: x degrees Angle 2: 57 degrees Angle 3: 117 degrees 5 / 5 Find x for the missing angle measure of the following triangle: Angle 1: 85 degrees Angle 2: 20 degrees Angle 3: x degrees 0% ## What our Video Teaching how to Identify Functions Watch our free video on how to Determine Functions.

You can get the relations and functions worksheet on how to identify functions for free by clicking on the link in the description below. Questions about functions will ask you to identify the function of a problem and if it is a function or not a function. In order to identify functions you have to first know what a function is. A function is a special relationship in math where each input into an equation or set of data has one and only one output. In order to check to see if a graph represents a function you can do something called the vertical line test. Now the vertical line test is when you draw an imaginary vertical line on the graph anywhere on the graph that you want and if it only hits the graph of your line one time that means it is a function. The vertical line test will help you figure out how to identify a function from a graph. All the problems we are going to try in this video are on our is it a function worksheet that you can download for free by clicking on the right. If you happen to draw a vertical line on your graph and it hits the graph of your equation in more than one spot, like in this example, we drew vertical line it hit right there and it hit right there.  That’d be two and then it hits here and it hits here. That would also be two times. That means that there are two outputs for the same input. For example when x equals three. Here’s when X is three Y could be either here or here. So our output could be two separate spots. Because of that that would mean that number two does not represent a function. The next part of understanding how to identify a function from a table. We already told you that every input into a set of data can only have one output. If you look at our first table here the X’s represent the inputs and the Y’s represent the outputs. If we look all of our inputs are negative 2 negative 1 0 and 1 and each of them have their separate and individual outputs. That each input has one and only one output that means that this does represent a function. In the case of number two we have our inputs here and we also have our outputs which is our Y column. Our input is three for each row. All of our X’s are three. Now if you look out output for three, three could be ten, three could be 15, three could be twenty, and three could be twenty five. The input of three gives us four separate outputs. That means that this is not a function because each input can have one and only one output.

# 1981 IMO Problems/Problem 5 (diff) ← Older revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) ## Problem Three congruent circles have a common point $O$ and lie inside a given triangle. Each circle touches a pair of sides of the triangle. Prove that the incenter and the circumcenter of the triangle and the point $O$ are collinear. ## Solution 1 Let the triangle have vertices $A,B,C$, and sides $a,b,c$, respectively, and let the centers of the circles inscribed in the angles $A,B,C$ be denoted $O_A, O_B, O_C$, respectively. The triangles $O_A O_B O_C$ and $ABC$ are homothetic, as their corresponding sides are parallel. Furthermore, since $O_A$ lies on the bisector of angle $A$ and similar relations hold for the triangles' other corresponding points, the center of homothety is the incenter of both the triangles. Since $O$ is clearly the circumcenter of $O_A O_B O_C$, $O$ is collinear with the incenter and circumcenter of $ABC$, as desired. ## Solution 2 Suppose 3 congruent circles with centres P,Q,R lie inside ABC and are such that the circle with centre P touches AB & AC and the circle with centre Q touches CA & BC.an R with remaining 2. Since O lies in all 3 circles, PO=QO=RO. Therefore, O is circumcentre of PQR. let O' be circumcentre of ABC. Since BC is tangent to the circles with centers Q & R, the lengths of perpendiculars from Q & R, the lengths are equal. therefore, QR//BC,RP//CA,PQ//AB. Again, since AB and AC both touch circle with centre P. Therefore P is equidistant from AB & AC. Therefore P lies on the internal bisector of angle A. Similarly Q & R lie internal bisectors of angle B and angle C respectively. Therefore, AP,BQ,CR produced meet at incenter I. Since, QR//BC,RP//CA,PQ//AB, it follows that I is also incentre of PQR, I being the centre of homothety. By the property of enlargements, O and O' must be co-linear with I , the centre of enlargement.
## The way to measure my lot dimension? Enter your deal with, define your garden on a Google map, and voilà! See your lot dimension on a display screen! You may draw a number of areas for one deal with; yard, entrance, or facet yard; it’ll summarize the sq. footage and present outcomes for every garden. ## The way to Manually Discover Your Property’s Sq. Footage When you’d prefer to measure your yard the quaint manner, observe these steps: 1. Stroll the size of your garden, figuring that one tempo equals about 3 ft. Do the identical with the width of the garden. 2. Then multiply the size by the width to reach on the whole. Ensure you subtract the sq. footage of your own home and driveway when calculating the full sq. footage of your garden. 3. In case your garden has an irregular form, attempt dividing it up into quite a lot of sq. areas. Calculate the sq. footage for every space, then add the figures collectively to succeed in your whole garden dimension ## Figuring out the Dimension of Space Step 1: Examine the Space The primary piece of knowledge you have to know is the form and dimensions of your garden, notably the width and size. It would be best to measure and multiply the realm size occasions the width in ft till the sq. footage is 1,000 sq. ft. and mark off this space with the assistance of a marking instrument like washable paint or objects to tell apart the remedy areas border line. Step 2: Convert Measurements In case your yard is rectangular or sq., measure the size and width then multiply collectively (size X width = sq. footage). For instance, in case your yard has a size of 10 ft and width of 8 ft, you’ll multiply 10 by 8 to get 80 sq. ft. Bear in mind for triangle formed lawns, you’ll measure the size and width, multiply collectively, then divide by two ( size X width / 2 = sq. footage). In case your garden is a not an ideal rectangle, break the garden into completely different sections to measure extra simply, then add measurements collectively to get the realm’s whole sq. footage. For remedy areas with flowerbeds and different obstructions within the yard you’ll measure the sq. footage of the article and subtract out of your yards whole sq. footage. Instance, you’ve a property that’s 12,000 sq. ft. and within the center you’ve a panorama mattress with a size of three ft and width of two ft. You’ll multiply 3 by 2 to get 6 ft, then subtract out of your yard whole. • 3 ft. X 2 ft. = 6 sq. ft. • 12,000 sq. ft. – 6 sq. ft. = 11,994 sq. ft. Subsequently, you’ll deal with an space with 11,994 sq. ft. ## Irregular Shapes Geometric shapes are widespread in dwelling lawns, however extra typically, lawns are irregularly formed. Lots of right now’s panorama designers use ideas of movement and stability to interrupt up straight strains. This offers the garden a extra pure and aesthetically pleasing look. In some methods, irregularly formed areas are simpler to measure than geometric shapes. There are two simple to grasp strategies for figuring out the realm of irregular shapes. The offset technique is most frequently used to measure lawns of irregular shapes. One other is the common radius technique. ## Convert amongst sq. inch, sq. foot, sq. yard and sq. meter You possibly can, for instance, carry out your entire measurements in inches or centimeters, calculate space in sq. inches or sq. centimeters then convert your ultimate reply to the unit you want corresponding to sq. ft or sq. meters. To transform amongst sq. ft, yards and meters use the next conversion elements.  For different models use our calculator for area conversions. • Sq. Toes to Sq. Inches • multiply ft2 by 144 to get in2 • Sq. Toes to Sq. Yards • multiply ft2 by 0.11111 to get yd2 • Sq. Toes to Sq. Meters • multiply ft2 by 0.092903 to get m2 • Sq. Yards to Sq. Toes • multiply yd2 by 9 to get ft2 • Sq. Yards to Sq. Meters • multiply yd2 by 0.836127 to get m2 • Sq. Meters to Sq. Inches • multiply m2 by 1,550 to get in2 • Sq. Meters to Sq. Toes • multiply m2 by 10.7639 to get ft2 • Sq. Meters to Sq. Yards • multiply m2 by 1.19599 to get yd2 ## Rectangle The realm of a rectangle is discovered by multiplying the size (l) by the width (w). Space = (l)(w) ### Instance 1: Calculate the realm of an oblong garden with a size of fifty ft and a width of 25 ft. Space = (l)(w) Space = (50 ft)(25 ft) Space = 1,250 ft² ### Feedback 1. Cooper says I by no means would have thought to make use of Google Maps to measure my garden!! That is SUCH a useful tip! Now I don’t need to exit and purchase a kind of measuring wheels!! Thanks a lot!!!

Determine the resistance of X. Why are the connections between resistors in a Wheatstone or meter bridge made of thick copper strips? (b) Determine the balance point of the bridge above if X and Y are interchanged. Page 9 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics (c) What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge? Would the galvanometer show any current? A metre bridge with resistors X and Y is represented in the given figure. ## (a) Balance point from end A, l1 = 39.5 cm Resistance of the resistor Y = 12.5 Condition for the balance is given as, ## Therefore, the resistance of resistor X is 8.2 . The connection between resistors in a Wheatstone or metre bridge is made of thick copper strips to minimize the resistance, which is not taken into consideration in the bridge formula. (b) If X and Y are interchanged, then l1 and 100l1 get interchanged. The balance point of the bridge will be 100l1 from A. 100l1 = 100 39.5 = 60.5 cm Therefore, the balance point is 60.5 cm from A. (c) When the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge, the galvanometer will show no deflection. Hence, no current would flow through the galvanometer. Page 10 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics Question 3.11: A storage battery of emf 8.0 V and internal resistance 0.5 is being charged by a 120 V dc supply using a series resistor of 15.5 . What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging? What is the purpose of having a series resistor in the charging circuit? Emf of the storage battery, E = 8.0 V Internal resistance of the battery, r = 0.5 DC supply voltage, V = 120 V Resistance of the resistor, R = 15.5 Effective voltage in the circuit = V1 R is connected to the storage battery in series. Hence, it can be written as V1 = V E V1 = 120 8 = 112 V Current flowing in the circuit = I, which is given by the relation, ## Voltage across resistor R given by the product, IR = 7 15.5 = 108.5 V DC supply voltage = Terminal voltage of battery + Voltage drop across R Terminal voltage of battery = 120 108.5 = 11.5 V A series resistor in a charging circuit limits the current drawn from the external source. The current will be extremely high in its absence. This is very dangerous. Question 3.12: In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf 1.25 V gives a balance point at 35.0 cm length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to 63.0 cm, what is the emf of the second cell? Emf of the cell, E1 = 1.25 V Balance point of the potentiometer, l1= 35 cm The cell is replaced by another cell of emf E2. New balance point of the potentiometer, l2 = 63 cm Page 11 of 26 Class XII Physics ## Therefore, emf of the second cell is 2.25V. Question 3.13: The number density of free electrons in a copper conductor estimated in Example 3.1 is 8.5 1028 m3. How long does an electron take to drift from one end of a wire 3.0 m long to its other end? The area of cross-section of the wire is 2.0 106 m2 and it is carrying a current of 3.0 A. Number density of free electrons in a copper conductor, n = 8.5 1028 m3 Length of the copper wire, l = 3.0 m Area of cross-section of the wire, A = 2.0 106 m2 Current carried by the wire, I = 3.0 A, which is given by the relation, I = nAeVd Where, e = Electric charge = 1.6 1019 C Vd = Drift velocity Therefore, the time taken by an electron to drift from one end of the wire to the other is 2.7 104 s. Page 12 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics Question 3.14: The earths surface has a negative surface charge density of 109 C m2. The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earths surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.37 106 m.) Surface charge density of the earth, = 109 C m2 Current over the entire globe, I = 1800 A Radius of the earth, r = 6.37 106 m Surface area of the earth, A = 4r2 = 4 (6.37 106)2 = 5.09 1014 m2 Charge on the earth surface, q=A = 109 5.09 1014 = 5.09 105 C Time taken to neutralize the earths surface = t Current, Page 13 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics Question 3.15: (a) Six lead-acid type of secondary cells each of emf 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.015 are joined in series to provide a supply to a resistance of 8.5 . What are the current drawn from the supply and its terminal voltage? (b) A secondary cell after long use has an emf of 1.9 V and a large internal resistance of 380 . What maximum current can be drawn from the cell? Could the cell drive the starting motor of a car? (a) Number of secondary cells, n = 6 Emf of each secondary cell, E = 2.0 V Internal resistance of each cell, r = 0.015 series resistor is connected to the combination of cells. Resistance of the resistor, R = 8.5 Current drawn from the supply = I, which is given by the relation, ## Terminal voltage, V = IR = 1.39 8.5 = 11.87 A Therefore, the current drawn from the supply is 1.39 A and terminal voltage is 11.87 A. (b) After a long use, emf of the secondary cell, E = 1.9 V Internal resistance of the cell, r = 380 ## Hence, maximum current Therefore, the maximum current drawn from the cell is 0.005 A. Since a large current is required to start the motor of a car, the cell cannot be used to start a motor. Question 3.16: Two wires of equal length, one of aluminium and the other of copper have the same resistance. Which of the two wires is lighter? Hence explain why aluminium wires are Page 14 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics preferred for overhead power cables. (Al = 2.63 108 m, Cu = 1.72 108 m, Relative density of Al = 2.7, of Cu = 8.9.) Resistivity of aluminium, Al = 2.63 108 m Relative density of aluminium, d1 = 2.7 Let l1 be the length of aluminium wire and m1 be its mass. Resistance of the aluminium wire = R1 Area of cross-section of the aluminium wire = A1 Resistivity of copper, Cu = 1.72 108 m Relative density of copper, d2 = 8.9 Let l2 be the length of copper wire and m2 be its mass. Resistance of the copper wire = R2 Area of cross-section of the copper wire = A2 The two relations can be written as It is given that, And, ## Mass of the aluminium wire, m1 = Volume Density Page 15 of 26 Class XII Physics ## = A1l1 d1 = A1 l1d1 (3) Mass of the copper wire, m2 = Volume Density = A2l2 d2 = A2 l2d2 (4) Dividing equation (3) by equation (4), we obtain It can be inferred from this ratio that m1 is less than m2. Hence, aluminium is lighter than copper. Since aluminium is lighter, it is preferred for overhead power cables over copper. Question 3.17: What conclusion can you draw from the following observations on a resistor made of alloy manganin? Current Voltage Current Voltage 0.2 3.94 3.0 59.2 0.4 7.87 4.0 78.8 0.6 11.8 5.0 98.6 0.8 15.7 6.0 118.5 1.0 19.7 7.0 138.2 Page 16 of 26 Class XII 2.0 ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity 39.4 8.0 Physics 158.0 It can be inferred from the given table that the ratio of voltage with current is a constant, which is equal to 19.7. Hence, manganin is an ohmic conductor i.e., the alloy obeys Ohms law. According to Ohms law, the ratio of voltage with current is the resistance of the conductor. Hence, the resistance of manganin is 19.7 . Question 3.18: (a) A steady current flows in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross- section. Which of these quantities is constant along the conductor: current, current density, electric field, drift speed? (b) Is Ohms law universally applicable for all conducting elements? If not, give examples of elements which do not obey Ohms law. (c) A low voltage supply from which one needs high currents must have very low internal resistance. Why? (d) A high tension (HT) supply of, say, 6 kV must have a very large internal resistance. Why? (a) When a steady current flows in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross-section, the current flowing through the conductor is constant. Current density, electric field, and drift speed are inversely proportional to the area of cross-section. Therefore, they are not constant. (b) No, Ohms law is not universally applicable for all conducting elements. Vacuum diode semi-conductor is a non-ohmic conductor. Ohms law is not valid for it. (c) According to Ohms law, the relation for the potential is V = IR Voltage (V) is directly proportional to current (I). R is the internal resistance of the source. If V is low, then R must be very low, so that high current can be drawn from the source. Page 17 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics (d) In order to prohibit the current from exceeding the safety limit, a high tension supply must have a very large internal resistance. If the internal resistance is not large, then the current drawn can exceed the safety limits in case of a short circuit. Question 3.19: Choose the correct alternative: (a) Alloys of metals usually have (greater/less) resistivity than that of their constituent metals. (b) Alloys usually have much (lower/higher) temperature coefficients of resistance than pure metals.

(d) The resistivity of a typical insulator (e.g., amber) is greater than that of a metal by a factor of the order of (1022/103). (a) Alloys of metals usually have greater resistivity than that of their constituent metals. (b) Alloys usually have lower temperature coefficients of resistance than pure metals. (c) The resistivity of the alloy, manganin, is nearly independent of increase of temperature. (d) The resistivity of a typical insulator is greater than that of a metal by a factor of the order of 1022. Question 3.20: (a) Given n resistors each of resistance R, how will you combine them to get the (i) maximum (ii) minimum effective resistance? What is the ratio of the maximum to minimum resistance? (b) Given the resistances of 1 , 2 , 3 , how will be combine them to get an equivalent resistance of (i) (11/3) (ii) (11/5) , (iii) 6 , (iv) (6/11) ? (c) Determine the equivalent resistance of networks shown in Fig. 3.31. Page 18 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics (a) Total number of resistors = n Resistance of each resistor = R (i) When n resistors are connected in series, effective resistance R1is the maximum, given by the product nR. Hence, maximum resistance of the combination, R1 = nR (ii) When n resistors are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (R2) is the ## Hence, minimum resistance of the combination, R2 = (iii) The ratio of the maximum to the minimum resistance is, ## (b) The resistance of the given resistors is, R1 = 1 , R2 = 2 , R3 = 3 2 i. Equivalent resistance, Page 19 of 26 Class XII ii. ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics Equivalent resistance, ## (iii) Equivalent resistance, R = 6 Consider the series combination of the resistors, as shown in the given circuit. ## Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by the sum, R = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 ## (iv) Equivalent resistance, Consider the series combination of the resistors, as shown in the given circuit. ## Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by, (c) (a) It can be observed from the given circuit that in the first small loop, two resistors of resistance 1 each are connected in series. Hence, their equivalent resistance = (1+1) = 2 It can also be observed that two resistors of resistance 2 each are connected in series. Hence, their equivalent resistance = (2 + 2) = 4 . Therefore, the circuit can be redrawn as Page 20 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics It can be observed that 2 and 4 resistors are connected in parallel in all the four loops. Hence, equivalent resistance (R) of each loop is given by, ## Hence, equivalent resistance of the given circuit is (b) It can be observed from the given circuit that five resistors of resistance R each are connected in series. Hence, equivalent resistance of the circuit = R + R + R + R + R =5R 2 Question 3.21: Determine the current drawn from a 12 V supply with internal resistance 0.5 by the infinite network shown in Fig. 3.32. Each resistor has 1 resistance. The resistance of each resistor connected in the given circuit, R = 1 Equivalent resistance of the given circuit = R The network is infinite. Hence, equivalent resistance is given by the relation, Page 21 of 26 Class XII Physics ## Internal resistance of the circuit, r = 0.5 Hence, total resistance of the given circuit = 2.73 + 0.5 = 3.23 Supply voltage, V = 12 V According to Ohms Law, current drawn from the source is given by the ratio, 3.72 A Question 3.22: Figure 3.33 shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents up to a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of 600 k is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire. Page 22 of 26 Class XII Physics ## (a) What is the value ? (b) What purpose does the high resistance of 600 k have? (c) Is the balance point affected by this high resistance? (d) Is the balance point affected by the internal resistance of the driver cell? (e) Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer (f ) Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small emf, say of the order of a few mV (such as the typical emf of a thermo-couple)? If not, how will you modify the circuit? (a) Constant emf of the given standard cell, E1 = 1.02 V Balance point on the wire, l1 = 67.3 cm A cell of unknown emf, ,replaced the standard cell. Therefore, new balance point on the wire, l = 82.3 cm The relation connecting emf and balance point is, ## The value of unknown emfis 1.247 V. (b) The purpose of using the high resistance of 600 k is to reduce the current through the galvanometer when the movable contact is far from the balance point. Page 23 of 26 Class XII ## Chapter 3 Current Electricity Physics (c) The balance point is not affected by the presence of high resistance. (d) The point is not affected by the internal resistance of the driver cell. (e) The method would not work if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of 1.0 V instead of 2.0 V. This is because if the emf of the driver cell of the potentiometer is less than the emf of the other cell, then there would be no balance point on the wire. (f) The circuit would not work well for determining an extremely small emf. As the circuit would be unstable, the balance point would be close to end A. Hence, there would be a large percentage of error. The given circuit can be modified if a series resistance is connected with the wire AB. The potential drop across AB is slightly greater than the emf measured. The percentage error would be small. Question 3.23: Figure 3.34 shows a potentiometer circuit for comparison of two resistances. The balance point with a standard resistor R = 10.0 is found to be 58.3 cm, while that with the unknown resistance X is 68.5 cm. Determine the value of X. What might you do if you failed to find a balance point with the given cell of emf ? Resistance of the standard resistor, R = 10.0 Balance point for this resistance, l1 = 58.3 cm Current in the potentiometer wire = i Hence, potential drop across R, E1 = iR Resistance of the unknown resistor = X Balance point for this resistor, l2 = 68.5 cm Page 24 of 26 Class XII Physics ## Hence, potential drop across X, E2 = iX The relation connecting emf and balance point is, ## Therefore, the value of the unknown resistance, X, is 11.75 . If we fail to find a balance point with the given cell of emf, , then the potential drop across R and X must be reduced by putting a resistance in series with it. Only if the potential drop across R or X is smaller than the potential drop across the potentiometer wire AB, a balance point is obtained. Question 3.24: Figure 3.35 shows a 2.0 V potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of a 1.5 V cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is 76.3 cm. When a resistor of 9.5 is used in the external circuit of the cell, the balance point shifts to 64.8 cm length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance of the cell. Internal resistance of the cell = r Balance point of the cell in open circuit, l1 = 76.3 cm Page 25 of 26 Class XII Physics ## An external resistance (R) is connected to the circuit with R = 9.5 New balance point of the circuit, l2 = 64.8 cm Current flowing through the circuit = I The relation connecting resistance and emf is, Page 26 of 26
## The Lesson We can find the mean of a set of numbers. Imagine a teacher wanted to find the class's average test score in mathematics. ## How to Find the Mean The mean is found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by how many numbers there are. ## Question What is the mean of the test scores below? # 1 Add up the numbers. 7 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 35 # 2 Divide the answer (35) by how many numbers there are. In our example, there are 5 students, so there are 5 test scores. 35 ÷ 5 = 7 The mean of the test scores is 7. ## Lesson Slides The slider below gives another example of finding the mean. ## A Formula to Find the Mean The formula for finding the mean is shown below: In this formula, • is the symbol for the mean. It is said "x bar". • xi is each value, where i = 1, 2... n. n is how many numbers there are. In our example of the test scores: x1 = 7, x2 = 10, x3 = 8, x4 = 6, x5 = 4 • Σxi means "sum of xi" from i = 1 (below the Σ) to n (above the Σ). Σxi = x1 + x2 + ... + xn In our example, n = 5 Σxi = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 Σxi = 7 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 Σxi = 35 • This is all written above a line, with n under it. This means divide by n. In our example, n = 5: x̄ = Σxi / n = 35 ÷ 5 = 7 The mean of the test scores is 7. ## Sum Over Count The mean is the sum of the number divided by a count of the numbers. ## Outliers Sometimes in a group of numbers, a few of them are much larger... 3, 5, 2, 7, 150 ...or much smaller than the rest: 1, 502, 847, 564, 980 These relatively large (150) or small (1) numbers are called outliers. The mean is very affected by outliers, unlike the median. For example, consider the numbers: 1, 2, 3 The mean is 2 and the median is 2. If instead the numbers have a large outlier: 1, 2, 300 The mean is now 101 while the median is still 2. If you read about the average salary in a country, ask if it is the mean or median average? The mean average may dragged up by some very rich people, while the median won't be. ## How to Find the Mean from a Frequency Table Sometimes data is presented in frequency tables. A frequency table representing the test scores is shown below: It is possible to find that the mean test score is 7. Read more about finding the mean from a frequency table

In part (a), the Candidates were expected to complete the table as follows: X -3 – 2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Y 30 13 0 -9 -14 -15 -12 -5 6 21 In part (b), Candidates would then use this table and the scale provided to draw the graph of the relation y = 2×2 – 7x – 9 and use this graph to answer the questions that followed. In part (c), from the graph, the roots of the equation 2×2 – 7x = 26 were obtained by drawing a line through y = 17 to meet the curve y = 2×2 – 7x – 9. The required roots are – 2.2 ± 0.1 and 5.8 ± 0.1. The coordinates of the minimum point of y is 1.8 ± 0.1, -15 ± 0.4. The ranges -10.1<x<4.5 Question 2 Marks 1 2 3 4 5 Number of students m + 2 m – 1 2m – 3 m + 5 3m – 4 The table shows the distribution of marks scored by some students in a test. If the mean mark is, find the value of m. Find the: (i) inter-quartile range; (ii) probability of selecting a student who scored at least 4 marks in the test. The solution to Question 2 x 1 2 3 4 5 Total f m+2 m-1 2m-3 m+5 3m-4 8m-1 fx m+2 2m-2 6m-9 4m+20 15m-20 28m-9 From the table, and, so that and solving yields m = 3. In part (b) (i), since m has been gotten to be 3, the table then becomes: x 1 2 3 4 5 f 5 2 3 8 5 Cf 5 7 10 18 23 Therefore, interquartile range = 4 – 2 = 2. Finally, in part (b) (ii), the probability of selecting a student who scored at least 4 marks is whereas most Candidates’ made use of at most 4 marks to obtain.
## GOODMAN 3 years ago Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement. What is the probability that both cards are greater than 2 and less than 9? 1. ParthKohli 2. GOODMAN Thanks little bro, lol. I am studying and forgot this all. 3. ParthKohli What would be the probability of getting a card between 2 and 9 in the first pick? 4. GOODMAN 2/52 and 9/52 5. ParthKohli No...it's saying that it's greater than 2 and less than 9. 3,4,5,6,7,8 are the numbers that qualify for me :) 6. GOODMAN So we have to get the ones in between? 7. ParthKohli Yes.. exactly 8. ParthKohli Since there are 3,4,5,6,7,8 in four suits, the probability would be: $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {4 \times 6 \over 52} }$$ For the first pick. 9. ParthKohli Simplifying further: $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {24 \over 52} = {12 \over 26} = {6 \over 13} }$$ 10. ParthKohli Now we've picked the first. We have 1 card LESS in the deck because we haven't replaced the cards. 11. ParthKohli So this time the denominator of the probability would become 51. The numerator will also get one less because we have assumed that we have picked one card which is 3,4,5,6,7 or 8. 12. ParthKohli There are 23 cards left that we want. 51 total cards left. $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {23 \over 51} }$$ 13. GOODMAN Okay...so since we had not replaced, we have to subtract 1? 14. ParthKohli Now if we want two things to happen at the same time, we shall multiply the probabilities. $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {13 \over 26} \times {23 \over 51}}$$ 15. ParthKohli We have to subtract 1 from both numerator and denominator. 16. GOODMAN Thats it? 17. ParthKohli Nope 18. GOODMAN Wait. so after we multiply, we have to simplify further too? 19. ParthKohli Oops.. I meant this: $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {6 \over 13} \times {23 \over 51}}$$ 20. ParthKohli Multiply the fractions. The fractions are in their simplest forms so when we'll multiply it'd be in the simplest form. 21. GOODMAN Yes, i did that. Okay, so 46/221 is final answer? 22. ParthKohli How did you get that? 23. ParthKohli Oh yes 24. ParthKohli $$\color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {2 \over 13} \times {23 \over 17} }$$ 25. ParthKohli Correct! :D 26. GOODMAN Okay, thats awesome!! Thanks soo much Parth!! Probability is my weak spot :/ 27. ParthKohli Haha probability is easy...getting the hang of what it involves is important 28. GOODMAN Yea, see, im reviewing this since last semester, lol. 29. ParthKohli And I've helped someone on this site after a long time. we usually just answer questions :// 30. GOODMAN Thanks, I actually learned :D
Open in App Not now # Class 11 NCERT Solutions- Chapter 14 Mathematical Reasoning – Exercise 14.5 • Last Updated : 05 May, 2021 ### (i) direct method Solution: p: ‘If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0, then x is 0’. Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0. (i) To show that statement p is true, we assume that q, is true and then show that r is true. Therefore, let statement q be true. x3 + 4x = 0 x(x2 + 4) = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 However, since x is real, it is 0. Thus, statement r is true. Therefore, the given statement is true. Solution: To show statement p to be true by contradiction, we assume that p is not true. Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0. Therefore, x3 + 4x = 0 x (x2 + 4) = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 = –4 However, x is real. Therefore, x = 0, which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0. ### (iii) method of contrapositive Solution: To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method, we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false. Here, r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r. This obtains the following statement. ~ r: x is not 0 I can be seen that (x2 + 4) will always be positive x = 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero. Let us consider the product of x with (x2 + 4) ⸫ x(x2 + 4) = 0 x3 + 4x = 0 This shows that statement q is not true. Thus, it has been proved that ~ r ⇒ ~ q Therefore, the given statement p is true. ### Question 2: Show that the statement ‘For any real numbers a and b, a2 = b2 implies that a = b’ is not true by giving a counter-example. Solution: The given statement can be written in the form of ‘if-then’ as follows. If a and b are real numbers such that a2 = b2 , then a = b. Let p: a and b are real numbers such that a2 = b2. q: a = b The given statement has to be proved false. For this purpose, it has to be proved that if p, then ~ q. To show this, two real numbers, a and b, with a2 = b2 are required such that a ≠ b. Let a = 1 and b = –1 a2 = (1)2 and b2 = (–1)2 = 1 a2 = b2 However, a = b Thus, it can be concluded that the given statement is false. ### Question 3: Show that the following statement is true by the method of contrapositive. p: If x is an integer and x2 is even, then x is also even. Solution: p: If x is an integer and x2 is even, then x is also even. Let q: x is an integer and x2 is even. r: x is even. To prove that p is true by contrapositive method, we assume that r is false, and prove that q is also false. Let x is not even. To prove that q is false, it has to be proved that x is not an integer or x2 is not even. x is not even implies that x2 is also not even. Therefore, statement q is false. Thus, the given statement p is true. ### (i) p: If all the angles of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is an obtuse-angled triangle. Solution: The given statement is of the form ‘if q then r’. q: All the angles of a triangle are equal. r: The triangle is an obtuse-angled triangle. The given statement p has to be proved false. For this purpose, it has to be proved that if q, then ~ r. To show this, angles of a triangle are required such that none of them is an obtuse angle. It is known that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore, if all the three angles are equal, then each of them is of measure 60°, which is not an obtuse angle. In an equilateral triangle, the measure of all angles is equal. However, the triangle is not an obtuse-angled triangle. Thus, it can be concluded that the given statement p is false. ### (ii) q: The equation x2  â€“ 1 = 0 does not have a root lying between 0 and 2. Solution: The given statement is as follows. q: The equation x2 – 1 = 0 does not have a root lying between 0 and 2. This statement has to be proved false. To show this, a counter example is required. Consider x2– 1 = 0 x2 = 1 x = ±1 One root of the equation x2 – 1 = 0, i.e. the root x = 1, lies between 0 and 2. Thus, the given statement is false. ### (i) p: Each radius of a circle is a chord of the circle. Solution: The given statement p is false. According to the definition of chord, it should intersect the circle at two distinct points. ### (ii) q: The centre of a circle bisects each chord of the circle. Solution: The given statement q is false. If the chord is not the diameter of the circle, then the centre will not bisect that chord. In other words, the centre of a circle only bisects the diameter, which is the chord of the circle. ### (iii) r: Circle is a particular case of an ellipse. Solution: The equation of an ellipse is, X2/a2 + Y2/b2 = 1 If we put a = b = 1, then we obtain x2 + y2 = 1,which is an equation of a circle Therefore, circle is a particular case of an eclipse. Thus, statement r is true. ### (iv) s: If x and y are integers such that x > y, then – x < – y. Solution: x > y ⇒ – x < – y (By a rule of inequality) Thus, the given statement s is true. ### (v) t: √11 is a rational number. Solution: 11 is a prime number, and we know that the square root of any prime number is an irrational number. Therefore, √11 is an irrational number. Thus, the given statement t is false.

View Question Q: Probability of selecting balls from an urn. ( Answered ,   1 Comment ) Question Subject: Probability of selecting balls from an urn. Category: Science > Math Asked by: wobbleone-ga List Price: \$10.00 Posted: 10 Sep 2006 17:25 PDT Expires: 10 Oct 2006 17:25 PDT Question ID: 763991 ```An urn contains one red ball and four with balls. You and a friend take turns selecting a ball from the urn, one at a time. The first person to select the red ball wins. If you draw first, what is the probability that you will win if sampling is done with replacement and the probability without replacement?``` ```Hello! Let's start with the case in which the sampling is done without replacement. Since there is a total of 5 balls, you can draw balls a maximum of three times: in the first turn, in the third turn (if your friend doesn't win in the 2nd one) and in the fifth turn (if your friend doesn't win in the 2nd or 4th one). Therefore, we can write the probability of winning as: P(Win) = P(Win in 1st turn) + P(Win in 3rd turn) + P(Win in 5th turn) In the first turn, there's one red ball out of a total of 5 balls. Therefore, the probability of winning in this turn is 1/5 = 0.2: P(Win in 1st turn) = 0.2 Now, in order to win in the 3rd turn, it must happen that: - You draw a white ball in the 1st turn - Your friend draws a white ball in the 2nd turn - You draw the red ball in the third turn The probability that you draw a white ball in the 1st turn is clearly 4/5 = 0.8. After this turn, there are 4 balls left, one of which is red. Therefore, the probability that your friend draws a white ball in the 2nd turn is 3/4 = 0.75. In the third turn, there are 3 balls left, one of which is red. Therefore, the probability of drawing the red ball is 1/3 = 0.333... We thus conclude that: P(Win in 3rd turn) = (4/5)*(3/4)*(1/3) = 0.2 Finally, we have to calculate the probability that you win in the 5th turn. Using the same reasoning as above, it must happen that neither you or your friend draw the red ball in the first four turns. Therefore, the probability of this is: P(Win in 5th turn) = (4/5)*(3/4)*(2/3)*(1/2) = 0.2 We conclude that: P(Win) = 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.6 If you draw first, you have a 0.6 probability of winning. Let's now see the case with replacement. In this case, theoretically, there can be any number of turns before someone draws the red ball. Since there is replacement, the probability of drawing the red ball is always 1/5 (as there are always 5 balls), so the probability of drawing a white one is 4/5. The probability of winning can be written as: P(Win) = P(Win in 1st turn) + P(Win in 3rd turn) + P(Win in 5th turn) + + P(Win in 7th turn) + ... Now, the probability of winning in the 1st turn is clearly 1/5. In order to win in the 3rd turn, both you and your friend must draw white balls in the 1st and 2nd turn, and you must draw the red one in the 3rd turn. Therefore, the probability of this event is (4/5)*(4/5)*(1/5) = [(4/5)^2]*(1/5). In order to win in the 5th turn, both you and your friend must draw white balls in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th turn, and you must draw the red one in the fifth turn. Therefore, the probability of this event is: (4/5)*(4/5)*(4/5)*(4/5)*(1/5) = [[(4/5)^2]^2]*(1/5) The pattern should now be clear. The probability of winning in the 7th turn would be [[(4/5)^2]^3]*(1/5); in the 9th turn it would be [[(4/5)^2]^4]*(1/5), and so on. Therefore, P(Win) = 1/5 + [(4/5)^2]*(1/5) + [[(4/5)^2]^2]*(1/5) + [[(4/5)^2]^3]*(1/5) + + ... P(Win) = (1/5)*(1 + [(4/5)^2] + [[(4/5)^2]^2] + [[(4/5)^2]^3] + ...) The infinite sum in the above expression has the form 1 + r + r^2 + r^3 + ... This sum (as long as |r|<1) is known to converge to 1/(1-r). Therefore, we get: P(Win) = (1/5)/(1 - (4/5)^2) = 5/9 = 0.555... Therefore, the probability of winning if you draw first and the sampling is with replacement is 5/9, a bit smaller than in the other case. I hope this helps!

It's All in the Numbers # 6. Number Properties Suggested Learning Intentions • To explore a range of number properties and use these properties to arrange numbers into sets • To recognise that some pairs of sets can have common numbers, and some pairs of sets do not have common numbers Sample Success Criteria • I can identify properties of numbers • I can organise numbers into sets with common properties • I can explain my thinking using manipulatives The purpose of this activity is review some concepts students may have been previously exposed to, either as part of the activities in this sequence or in previous years. Should some concepts be unfamiliar to some students, you can use this activity to teach these specific concepts ‘in the moment’. Present students with a series of cards, with assorted numbers on them. For example: Ask students to use these cards to make different sets of numbers, using these cards only. Depending on the prior knowledge of your students regarding number properties, you could ask them to produce sets of: • Even numbers, or odd numbers (two different sets) • Factors of 24, or 60 (two different sets) • Multiples of 3, or 7 (two different sets) • Prime Numbers • Composite Numbers • Square Numbers • Triangular Numbers Use this opportunity to teach any specific concepts that individual or small groups of students may be unfamiliar with. Other questions can be posed to further gauge student understanding of these concepts, including: • Which numbers may appear in more than one set? (This question can be used to gauge understanding of common factors and multiples). • Which sets couldn’t have any numbers in common? (For example, evens and odds, or primes and composites). • Find a number that would fit into as many, or as few of the sets as possible (for example, the 12 card would fit into the set of even cards, the factors of 24, the factors of 60, the multiples of 3, and the composite numbers set). • Write your own description of a number property, such as ‘factors of 50’ or ‘composite numbers greater than 20’ and use the cards to create this set. Show students a grid such as this one below: Select one number for discussion with the class, such as 25. Invite students to explain which squares they believe 25 could be placed in. For example, 25 could be placed in the bottom right corner, because it is both an odd number and a square number. Facilitate similar discussions using other numbers. Ask students to identify nine different numbers that could be used to complete the grid. Enable students requiring further support by providing a 2 x 2 grid to begin with, and/or a set of numbers to select from to fill the grid with (such as the cards used in the initial task). Question students to draw out their understanding of the different sets, and the relationships that exist between them. Sample questions include: • Are there any squares in the grid that can only be filled by one number? Why is this? A clear explanation of why 2 must go in the top left corner (because 2 is the only even prime) will help consolidate student understanding of prime numbers. • If the headings were placed in different parts of the grid, would you still be able to fill it entirely? Students should recognise that even and odd numbers must go on the same ‘side’ of the table, as they have no common values. The same is true for primes and squares (remember 1 is not a prime!) A sample solution is provided below. The 2 and the 5 are highlighted in red to indicate that they are the only possible numbers that can go in this part of the table. Extend students by challenging them to construct their own grid. This could be undertaken in different ways: • Construct a grid with the headings included and the spaces blank and ask a classmate to fill it out. • Construct a grid where the numbers are included but the headings are blank and ask a classmate to work out what the headings should be. • Construct a grid that can be filled with consecutive numbers. A sample solution is provided above, using the numbers 1 - 9. Note the use of ‘Factors of 168’ which reflects the challenge present in what appears a simple task. Areas for further exploration Present students with the ‘Factors and Multiples’ puzzle on NRICH, published by the University of Cambridge. Read through the Teachers’ Resources section on NRICH to know how to present this task to students, or use the resources provided, such as the printable worksheets. Note that the website has sample solutions provided by students, so it is best not to direct students to the website themselves. This puzzle is like the problems presented earlier in this stage but is larger and more complex. The puzzle includes a 5 x 5 grid and students are provided with 10 different headings and 25 numbers with which to complete the grid. Encourage students to reflect on the strategies they have used in the previous activities to help determine any headings that need to go on the ‘same side’ of the table. Enable students requiring further support by providing prompts such as: • Can you think of any numbers that are even and odd? What does this tell you about where the ODD NUMBER and EVEN NUMBER headings should go? • Can you think of any numbers that are less than 20 AND more than 20? This is a particularly challenging puzzle and students will require a lot of time to engage with it. This stage exposes students to a range of mathematical skills and concepts which you may wish to review and consolidate with students. Consider the progress made by students when determining which skills and concepts you select to review. Two suggested concepts for review are presented below. 1. Square numbers can be found by multiplying a value by itself You may wish to emphasise the following concepts: • square numbers can be located on the diagonal of a common multiplication grid, found in many classrooms • square numbers can be represented visually by an array of square dots • working ‘backwards’ from a square number is called ‘finding the square root’ of the number. 2. All numbers have a set of factors and a set of multiples You may wish to emphasise the following concepts: • there are a range of approaches we can use to find factors of numbers; some are more systematic than others • 1 is a factor of all whole numbers • a number is both a factor and a multiple of itself • multiples of a number can be found by ‘counting by’ that number. You could support students to consolidate their understanding of factors and multiples by playing the ‘Factors and Multiples Game’ on nRich, published by the University of Cambridge. This game uses a 1-100 number grid and can be played in different ways. Students can play competitively in pairs; the first player chooses a starting number and crosses it off the grid. The second player then chooses a factor or multiple of that number and crosses it off. Play alternates, with each player selecting a factor or multiple of the last number crossed off, until one player cannot choose a number, at which point the other player is the winner. Alternatively, players can play collaboratively, and try and form the longest chain possible of connected factors and multiples, using the rules of the game. This chain could be submitted to help assess student understanding of factors and multiples. The game can be played either online or on printable grids provided by nRich. The Teachers Resources section provides further advice as to how you can best use this with students. University of Cambridge, n.d. Factors and Multiples Game.

Area of a Trapezoid The area of a polygon is the number of square units inside that polygon. Area is 2-dimensional like a carpet or an area rug. A trapezoid is a 4-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides. For example, in the diagram to the right, the bases are parallel. To find the area of a trapezoid, take the sum of its bases, multiply the sum by the height of the trapezoid, and then divide the result by 2, The formula looks like this: or Where  is  is  is height and · means multiply. Each base of a trapezoid must be perpendicular to the height. In the diagram above, both bases are sides of the trapezoid. However, since the lateral sides are not perpendicular to either of the bases, a dotted line is drawn to represent the height. In Examples 1 and 3 below, the height is a side of the trapezoid since it is perpendicular to the base. In Example 2, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the base, so a dotted line is drawn to represent the height. Example 1: Find the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 inches and 14 inches, and a height of 5 inches. Solution: =  · (10 in + 14 in) · 5 in =  · (24 in) · (5 in) =  · 120 in2 = 60 in2 Example 2: Find the area of a trapezoid with bases of 9 centimeters and 7 centimeters, and a height of 3 centimeters. Solution: =  · (9 cm + 7 cm) · 3 cm =  · (16 cm) · (3 cm) =  · 48 cm2 = 24 cm2 Example 3: The area of a trapezoid is 52 square inches and the bases are 11 inches and 15 inches. Find the height. Solution: 52 in2 = · (11 in + 15 in) · 52 in2 = · (26 in) · 52 in2 = (13 in) · 52 in2 ÷ (13 in) = = 4 in Summary: To find the area of a trapezoid, take the sum of its bases, multiply the sum by the height of the trapezoid, and then divide the result by 2, The formula looks like this: or Where  is  is  is height.

Jobs & Education Algebra # What is the perimeter of 6m in a square? 012 ###### 2014-09-12 21:38:16 The perimeter is four times the length of any of the sides. ๐Ÿฆƒ 0 ๐Ÿคจ 0 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ 0 ๐Ÿ˜‚ 0 ## Related Questions A square has four sides of equal length. If the total of all four sides is 24m then each side must measure 6m. There area is therefore 6m x 6m which equals 36 square metres. By definition, the sides of a square MUST be the same. It is not possible to have a square with sides of 12m and 6m. A square with a side length of 6m has an area of 36m2 In order to find the perimeter of a rectangle, you will need to add the measurements of all 4 sides. For a rectangle that is 7m x 6m, you would have two sides that are 7m and two sides that are 6m. That means the perimeter of the rectangle would be 26m. 1m and 11m 2m and 10m 3m and 9m 4m and 8m 5m and 7m. The next one, 6m and 6m, would be a square. There is not enough information to answer the question. a square has a perimeter but a square isnt a perimeter. so no a square isnt a perimeter Only if they are congruent. One of them could be the a rotation of the other - eg 4m x 6m and 6m x 4m. The area of a square is a function of the perimeter of the square. Perimeter is in feet and not in square feet 36 square units. You can't express a perimeter in square units; a perimeter is a length expressed in ordinary units. If the perimeter of this square is 24 units then the answer above is correct. perimeter of a square is 4x square that term (4x)(4x)and it gives you 16x2 The perimeter of a square is the sum of the four equal sides. If the area is a square the perimeter is 508.87m. The formula for the perimeter of a square is P equals 4 times a. 'P' represents the perimeter, and 'a' represents a side of the square. Perimeter of a square = 4*side. So perimeter of 6x6 square = 4*6 = 24 units. ###### Math and ArithmeticScienceGeometryAlgebra Copyright ยฉ 2020 Multiply Media, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

# Synthetic Long Division ## Synthetic Long Division ### Is the long division the same as the synthetic division? Synthetic division is another technique for dividing polynomials. This is a brief description of long division, which only works when dividing with a degree 1 polynomial. ### I also asked what is the difference between synthetic division and long division? Synthetic Polynomial Division: The Method Instead of the typical division support as in long division, synthetic division uses vertical straight lines and creates space for several subseries. If there is a remainder, the zero of the test is not a real zero of the polynomial. ### So the question is, when can I use synthetic division? Synthetic division is an abbreviation that can be used when the divisor is a binomial of the form x - k. Synthetic division uses only coefficients in the division process. ### How is a long synthetic joint made here? Synthetic division is another way of dividing a polynomial by the binomial x c, where c is a constant. 1. Step 1: Set up the synthetic department. 2. Step 2: Lower the leader in the bottom row. 3. Step 3: Multiply c by the value that's right on the bottom line. 4. Step 4: Add the column created in Step 3. What is the denominator in the synthetic division?P (x) is the yield, Q (x) is the quotient and R (x) is the remainder How to solve this problem by synthetic division. To use synthetic division, the divisor must be of the first degree and take the form x - a. In this example the divisor is x - 2 with a = 2. ### What is synthetic division and examples? Synthetic division is a shortened method of dividing polynomials for the special case of division by a linear factor whose dominant coefficient is 1. To illustrate the process, refer to the example at the beginning of this section. Divide 2x3−3x2 + 4x + 5 2 x 3-3 x 2 + 4 x + 5 by x + 2 using the long division algorithm. ### What do you do with the long division remnants? How to do a long split with Reester? Solve the division problem with the long division or long division symbol. Divide the first number by the dividend, 4 by the divisor, 32. Put 0 above the division bracket. Draw a line under 0 and subtract 0 from 4. ### What is the purpose of dividing polynomials? In algebra, long division of a polynomial is an algorithm for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial of equal or less degree, a generalized version of the well-known arithmetic technique called long division. This can easily be done by hand as it breaks down an otherwise complex subproblem into smaller problems. ### How does synthetic substitution work? In mathematics, synthetic substitution offers us a way to evaluate a polynomial for a given value of the variable. It is based on the remainder of the polynomial theorem, which says that the remainder of P (x) x - a P (x) x - a, where P (x) is a polynomial function, is equal to P (a), or P evaluated in x = a. ### Is it possible to synthetically divide with a fraction? Since you are dividing by a polynomial of degree 1, the degree of resolution is 1 less than the degree of efficiency. For this problem, the answer starts with a force of 2, then a force of 1, then a force of 0 (the constant). The last value on the bottom line is the remainder and is written as a fraction. ### Why is synthetic division important? Basically, the explanation is that we are using synthetic division to find polynomial factors, which is actually division. If the remainder of the synthetic division is zero, the divisor is a factor. It is important that synthetic division divides a polynomial only by a linear factor.

The procedure is the same: Find the reference angle    formed by the terminal side of the given angle with the horizontal axis. The trigonometric function values for the original angle will be the same as those for the reference angle, except for the positive or negative sign, which is determined by x - and y -values in the original quadrant. [link] shows which functions are positive in which quadrant. To help us remember which of the six trigonometric functions are positive in each quadrant, we can use the mnemonic phrase “A Smart Trig Class.” Each of the four words in the phrase corresponds to one of the four quadrants, starting with quadrant I and rotating counterclockwise. In quadrant I, which is “ A ,” a ll of the six trigonometric functions are positive. In quadrant II, “ S mart,” only s ine and its reciprocal function, cosecant, are positive. In quadrant III, “ T rig,” only t angent and its reciprocal function, cotangent, are positive. Finally, in quadrant IV, “ C lass,” only c osine and its reciprocal function, secant, are positive. Given an angle not in the first quadrant, use reference angles to find all six trigonometric functions. 1. Measure the angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the horizontal axis. This is the reference angle. 2. Evaluate the function at the reference angle. 3. Observe the quadrant where the terminal side of the original angle is located. Based on the quadrant, determine whether the output is positive or negative. ## Using reference angles to find trigonometric functions Use reference angles to find all six trigonometric functions of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-\frac{5\pi }{6}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ The angle between this angle’s terminal side and the x -axis is $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{6},$ so that is the reference angle. Since $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-\frac{5\pi }{6}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is in the third quadrant, where both $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ are negative, cosine, sine, secant, and cosecant will be negative, while tangent and cotangent will be positive. $\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{cos}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\mathrm{sin}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=-\frac{1}{2},\text{tan}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\hfill \\ \text{sec}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3},\text{csc}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=-2,\mathrm{cot}\left(-\frac{5\pi }{6}\right)=\sqrt{3}\hfill \end{array}$ find the equation of the line if m=3, and b=-2 graph the following linear equation using intercepts method. 2x+y=4 Ashley how Wargod what?

Why does the r distribute once so good abdikarin this is an identity when 2 adding two angles within a cosine. it's called the cosine sum formula. there is also a different formula when cosine has an angle minus another angle it's called the sum and difference formulas and they are under any list of trig identities strategies to form the general term carlmark How can you tell what type of parent function a graph is ? generally by how the graph looks and understanding what the base parent functions look like and perform on a graph William if you have a graphed line, you can have an idea by how the directions of the line turns, i.e. negative, positive, zero William y=x will obviously be a straight line with a zero slope William y=x^2 will have a parabolic line opening to positive infinity on both sides of the y axis vice versa with y=-x^2 you'll have both ends of the parabolic line pointing downward heading to negative infinity on both sides of the y axis William y=x will be a straight line, but it will have a slope of one. Remember, if y=1 then x=1, so for every unit you rise you move over positively one unit. To get a straight line with a slope of 0, set y=1 or any integer. Aaron yes, correction on my end, I meant slope of 1 instead of slope of 0 William what is f(x)= I don't understand Joe Typically a function 'f' will take 'x' as input, and produce 'y' as output. As 'f(x)=y'. According to Google, "The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain."
