Technology comes from the Greek root 
, meaning art or craft.
For the Greeks, a straightedge and compass was technology.
The nice thing about a straightedge and compass construction of any length is that there's always a corresponding algebraic form consisting of natural numbers combined via addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square rooting (of positive numbers). So we get an "exact" answer, at least using radicals.
Compare that to the typical calculating technology we use today where the square roots turn into approximations. The calculator is worse, turning an exact answer into an approximation.
Straightedge and compass constructions play a large role in the development of mathematics but they're not really better, it's just how things went. By restricting ourselves to straightedges (linear equations) and compasses (circles, quadratic equations) we restricted the possible lengths we could construct. Understanding exactly how propelled mathematics forward for a couple of thousand years.
Answer:
D. No, Jacob is not correct. The median amount he makes is $84.00 in a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the mean is not the best measure of this data.
We can see that there is one value lower than the rest, $58. This brings the mean down.
With the value of $58, the mean is $80.70. If we were to take this value out, the mean would be $85.20, which is higher.
Since the mean is brought down by this value, we should use the median. The median of this data set is $84.
T=4 should be the answer if ur trying 2 solve for T
Answer:
x = 66
Step-by-step explanation:
√(x - 2) + 3 = 11
Subtract 3 from both sides: √(x - 2) = 8
Square both sides: x - 2 = 64
Add 2 to both sides: x = 66
The answer would be D. 32
Why? The triangle in the problem is an isosceles triangle. That means the two legs of the triangle are equal and the angle opposite to the equal legs are also equal.
Therefore, angle C is also 74°.
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.
Thus,
180° = ∡A + ∡B + ∡C
180° = 74° + ∡B + 74°
180° = 148° + ∡B
∡B = 180° - 148°
∡B = 32°
