How about this (see attached image):
Use the four cuts as shown in the image (red lines).
Then assemble 5 equal squares by the numbers: 1 center square and the rest are pieced together using two pieces as shown. All five together add up to the same area as original square because we use all pieces.
The way one gets a hint toward a solution is to see how an area of a square of length 1 can be split into 5 equal square areas:
which indicates we need to find a a triangle with sides 2 and 1 to get the hypotenuse of the right length. That gave rise to the cut pattern (if you look carefully, there are triangles with those side lengths).
F(x) = 3x + 1.....this is the same as y = 3x + 1.
In y = mx + b form, which is what y = 3x + 1 is in, the rate of change (slope) is in the m position and the y int (the initial value) is in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 3x + 1
ur rate of change (slope)...number in the m position = 3
ur initial value (y int)...number in the b position = 1
so rate of change = 3 and initial value = 1
Answer:
We have in general that when a function has a high value, its reciprocal has a high value and vice-versa. That is the correlation between the function. When the function goes close to zero, it all depends on the sign. If the graph approaches 0 from positive values (for example sinx for small positive x), then we get that the reciprocal function is approaching infinity, namely high values of y. If this happens with negative values, we get that the y-values of the function approach minus infinity, namely they have very low y values. 1/sinx has such a point around x=0; for positive x it has very high values and for negative x it has very low values. It is breaking down at x=0 and it is not continuous.
Now, regarding how to teach it. The visual way is easy; one has to just find a simulation that makes the emphasis as the x value changes and shows us also what happens if we have a coefficient 7sinx and 1/(7sinx). If they have a more verbal approach to learning, it would make sense to focus on the inverse relationship between a function and its reciprocal... and also put emphasis on the importance of the sign of the function when the function is near 0. Logical mathematical approach: try to make calculations for large values of x and small values of x, introduce the concept of a limit of a function (Where its values tend to) or a function being continuous (smooth).
Answer:
There are 1,892,800,000 different standard plates that are possible in this system
Step-by-step explanation:
The plates follow the following format:
D - D - L - L - L - D - D - D
For each digit there are 10 possible outcomes, and for each letter there are 26 possible outcomes.
So, there are
10*10*26*26*28*10*10*10 = 1,892,800,000
different standard plates that are possible in this system
