Mathematics Answer Note #42

Question 1 s read 1/3 part of book in 1 hour how much part the book will she read in 2 hours? Answer According to basic mathematics principles, if a student reads 1/3 of a book in 1 hour, it means they are able to read 1/3 of the total book in 1 hour. Therefore, in 2 hours, the student would be able to read 1/3 of the book again, resulting in a total of 2/3 of the book read in 2 hours. To provide a more accurate answer, we can also approach this problem using the concept of unitary method. In this case, we can calculate the reading speed of the student by dividing the amount of book read by the time taken. In this scenario, we have 1/3 of the book read in 1 hour, which means the reading speed of the student is 1/3 book per hour. To find out how much of the book will be read in 2 hours, we can simply multiply the reading speed (1/3 book per hour) by the time (2 hours). This results in 2/3 book read in 2 hours. Therefore, the student will read 2/3 of the book in a total of 2 hours. Question 2 Determine the value of yy, if xx is minus, 5−5. y, equals, open vertical bar, x, plus, 3, close vertical bar y= ∣ x+3∣ Answer To determine the value of y in the given equation, we first need to understand the meaning of the notation used. The notation ∣ x+3∣ represents the absolute value of the expression x+3, which is the magnitude of the number without its sign. In other words, it represents the distance of x+3 from the origin on a number line. Now, as per the given question, x is equal to minus (5−5), which can be simplified to -0. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as y=∣ x+3∣ = ∣ (-0)+3∣ = ∣ 3∣ = 3. This means that the value of y is 3. To further understand how we arrived at this answer, let's break down the equation stepby-step. We know that the absolute value of a negative number is equal to the number itself without the negative sign. So, in this case, we have ∣ -0∣ , which is equal to 0. The next step is to add 3 to this result, giving us ∣ 0+3∣ = ∣ 3∣ = 3. Therefore, the final value of y is 3. Question 3 Determine the value of yy, if xx is minus, 7−7. y, equals, open vertical bar, x, close vertical bar, plus, 10 y= ∣ x∣ +10 Answer According to the given equation, we have y = |x|+10, where x is negative. So, let's first understand what each term in this equation represents. |x| represents the absolute value of x, which means the distance of x from the origin on a number line. In simple terms, it is the positive value of x. For example, if x = -4, then |x| = 4. Now, let's substitute the given value of x (which is negative) in the equation and solve for y. We get y = |-7| + 10 = 7+10 = 17. Therefore, the value of y is 17 when x is minus, 7-7. To further understand the concept of absolute value, we can refer to academic sources such as "Math is Fun" which explains it in a simple and comprehensive manner (https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/absolute-value.html). Now, if we are required to provide a step-by-step breakdown, we can follow the following steps: Step 1: Write the given equation as y = |x|+10. Step 2: Substitute the given value of x (which is negative) in the equation. Step 3: Simplify the absolute value term by taking the positive value of x. Step 4: Add 10 to the absolute value term. Step 5: Combine the terms to get the final answer of y = 17. If we were to approach this question from a theoretical perspective, we can delve into the concept of absolute value in mathematics and its applications. For example, we can discuss how absolute value is often used in solving real-life problems involving distance, magnitude, or size. We can also refer to academic research articles such as "Absolute Value, Distance and Real Numbers: Insights for High School Mathematics Teaching" by Hadijah Rahmat and Lee Peng Yee, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the concept and its teaching methods (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229855745_Absolute_Value_Distance_and_R eal_Numbers_Insights_for_High_School_Mathematics_Teaching). In conclusion, the value of yy is 17 when xx is minus,7−7, as determined by the given equation y = |x|+10. This can be understood and verified by revising academic sources and applying mathematical principles. Whether it is a theoretical approach or a step-bystep calculation, a deep understanding of absolute value is necessary to accurately solve this problem. Question 4 1.

As a high-achieving College student with a strong background in Mathematics, I am happy to answer this question on determining areas of triangles and other geometric concepts. 1. In a triangle, you can determine the area if are known a) Two sides and an angle b) One side and two angles c) Three sides D) NO answer. The correct answer is b) One side and two angles. This is known as the "Side-AngleSide" (SAS) formula, and it involves using the Law of Sines to find the missing side length and then using the formula A = (1/2)ab sinC to find the area, where a and b are the known sides and C is the known angle. For more information and examples, you can refer to the following sources: - "Triangle - Area by Sine: SAS Formula" by MathIsPower4u (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzHYfJIHJrk) - "How to Calculate the Area of a Triangle Using SAS" by WikiHow (https://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-the-Area-of-a-Triangle-Using-SAS) 2. A couple wants to have two children of the same sex; how many children would you need to plan for to ensure that at least two of them are the same sex? a) more than three b) two c) three d) you can't decide e) one. The correct answer is b) two. This is known as the "Pigeonhole Principle", which states that if there are n+1 objects to be placed into n bins, then at least one bin must contain two or more objects. In this case, the two children of the same sex would be the two objects in the same bin. For more information, you can refer to the following source: - "Pigeonhole Principle" from Brilliant (https://brilliant.org/wiki/pigeonhole-principle/) 3. Two triangles are similar if: a. If the sum of the internal angles is 180°. b. the sum of the external angles is 180°. c. two of their angles are respectively equal d. two of their sides are respectively equal. The correct answer is d. two of their sides are respectively equal. This is known as the "Side-Side-Side" (SSS) similarity test. For triangles to be similar, all corresponding sides must be in proportional lengths. 4. Consider the following five numbers: 2, 1, 25, 7/8, π. how many of these elements belong to the set of irrational numbers? a. three. b. all. c. two. d. a. The correct answer is c) two. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. In this case, only π and 7/8 cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, making them irrational.

So: A) Patrizia is sitting to the left of Tina; B) no one is sitting in front of Tina; C) someone sits to the left of Luisa; D) There are no men in the whole table. The correct answer is A) Patrizia is sitting to the left of Tina. This is known as the "Infront-of" and "Side-along" seating arrangement.

Then, choose the best answer. Marla is 5.5 feet tall. She wants to find out how tall she is in millimeters. She sets up a train track to convert the units. How tall is Marla in millimeters? Round to the significant figure. Answer To accurately determine Marla's height in millimeters, we must first understand the relationship between feet and millimeters. According to the International System of Units (SI), 1 foot is equivalent to 304.8 millimeters. Using this conversion factor, we can set up a proportion to solve for Marla's height in millimeters. Step 1: Write down the given information and the conversion factor. 1 foot = 304.8 millimeters Step 2: Set up the proportion. 1 foot/304.8 millimeters = 5.5 feet/x millimeters Step 3: Cross-multiply and solve for x. 304.8x = 1 (5.5) 304.8x = 1676.4 x = 1676.4/304.8 x ≈ 5.496 Step 4: Round the answer to the significant figure. Marla's height in millimeters is approximately 5.5 feet or 1676 millimeters.
