What is epistemology? Why is it important to critical thinking?

Mathematics
1 answer:
sineoko [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Epistemology can be defined as the branch of philosophy which focuses on the theory of knowledge. It is the study of the nature of knowledge, and  analyses its relation concepts like truth, justifications and belief. It deals with the rationality of belief(logic or rationale behind a belief).

Yes, it is important to critical thinking as critical thinking is based on beliefs and actions that have reasons, logic and rationale behind them. But these logic and reasons are philosophically problematic as how one evaluate 'reason, 'logic', etc. These are abstract and difficult but question like these are a central part to epistemology.

Evaluate f(t)=-2t2+ 1 for f(-3).
podryga [215]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug-in f(-3) into t in the function:

f(-3)=-2(-3) +1

Second, multiply -2 and -3 to get 6:

f(-3)=-2(-3)+1⇒f(-3)=6+1

Third, add 6 and 1 to get your answer:

f(-3)= 6+1⇒f(-3)=7

Calculate the sum of the interior angles of the following polygon 6 sided 15 sided and 3 sided​
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

720°, 2340°, 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached image of a regular hexagon.  I drew all possible lines from a vertex to other vertices (AC, AD, AE).  Drawing in all those diagonals splits the hexagon into 4 triangles, and adding up the measures of all the triangle angles would account for all the interior angles of the hexagon.

♦  Four triangles have an angle sum of 180° x 4 = 720° (180° in each triangle).

See attached image2 to see what happens in an octagon.  There are six triangles formed, so the total of all interior angle measures is 6 x 180° = 1080°.

What about a 15-sided regular polygon?  How many triangles would be formed by putting in all the diagonals coming from one vertex?  There will be 2 fewer triangles than the number of vertices, 13.

♦  The total of interior angle measures in a 15-gon is 13(180°) = 2340°

♦  A polygon with 3 sides is a single triangle; interior angle sum = 180°
