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: I and III
Step-by-step explanation:
We observe in the case provided that the researcher, who has no interest in the population to intervene, is going to carry out surveys to assess whether the neighborhood is a good place to live, obtaining the following conclusions:
i. The Minneapolis Resident Survey was an observational study.
ii. The Minneapolis Resident Survey was an experiment.
iii. The figure 50.1% is a descriptive statistic for the sample.
iv. The figure 50.1% is a statistical inference for the population.:By estimating the sample, obtained by a lower percentage of the total of the respondents, it is known that with a 95% confidence interval that the rating obtained from the respondents considering that the neighborhood is a good place to live was found between 0.44 and 0.50, taking this interval as a statistical inference for the population.
The correct answer is I and III, since in this study no interventions were made to the population and only one observation of a characteristic of the neighborhood was made and in III we know that the descriptive statistic only describes data and summarizes it, which is a of the ways to display the data from the descriptive survey.

Answer:
The equation is <u>sale price</u>=p and the original price is $41.09.
.70
Step-by-step explanation:
sale price= (1-.30)p
<u>sale price=.70</u>p
.70 .70
<u>sale price</u>=p
.70
<u>28.76</u>=p
.70
$41.09=p
