It has become somewhat fashionable to have students derive the Quadratic Formula themselves; this is done by completing the square for the generic quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. While I can understand the impulse (showing students how the Formula was invented, and thereby providing a concrete example of the usefulness of abstract symbolic manipulation), the computations involved are often a bit beyond the average student at this point.

Maria y juan deben realizar el mapamundi en medio pliego de cartulina para la tarea de sociales pero cada uno tiene un cuarto de
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Cuando María afirma que si unen sus dos cuartos de cartulina obtendrán el medio pliego que necesitan, esto es:

  • <u>Verdadero</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Para entender mejor el ejercicio vamos a utilizar números cada vez que se habla de cantidades de cartulina, por lo tanto, María y Juan tienen 1/4 de cartulina cada uno, es decir, 1/4 * 2, y necesitan 1/2 pliego para poder realizar su tarea, por lo tanto, con la afirmación de María sobre unir los dos cuartos de cartulina, en caso de que sea verdadero, ocurrirá que la suma de los dos cuartos dará el medio pliego, como se muestra a continuación:

  • Total de cartulina de María y Juan = \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}
  • Total de cartulina de María y Juan = \frac{4+4}{16}
  • Total de cartulina de María y Juan = \frac{8}{16}

Procedemos a simplificar el fraccionario obtenido, sacando mitad tanto en el numerador como en el denominador:

  • Total de cartulina de María y Juan = \frac{4}{8}
  • Total de cartulina de María y Juan = \frac{2}{4}
  • <u><em>Total de cartulina de María y Juan = </em></u>\frac{1}{2}<u><em /></u>

Como puedes ver al final, <u>la cantidad de cartulina de ambos, al ser sumada, da como resultado el 1/2 (medio) pliego que necesitan para su tarea de sociales, por lo cual la afirmación de María es correcta</u>.
