Answer:
Instrumental understanding – having a mathematical rule and being able to apply and manipulate it. Relational understanding – having a mathematical rule, knowing how to use it AND knowing why it works.
Step-by-step explanation:
Instrumental understanding involves “memorising which problems a method works for and which not, and also learning a different method for each new class of problems” (Skemp 1987, p. 159), is a desire to know “some kind of rule for getting the answer” (p. 155) so that a student can “latch on it and ignore the rest”
Answer:
Each pitcher has the same fraction of the other drink.
Step-by-step explanation:
After 1 cup of tea is added to x cups of lemonade, the mix has the ratio 1:x of tea to lemonade. So, the fraction of mix that is tea is 1/(x+1).
The 1 cup of mix contains 1/(x+1) cups of tea and so x/(x+1) cups of lemonade. When that amount of lemonade is added to the tea, it brings the proportion of lemonade in the tea to (x/(x+1))/x = 1/(x+1), the same proportion as that of tea in the lemonade.
_____
You can consider the degenerate case of one cup of drink in each pitcher. Then when the 1 cup of tea is removed from its pitcher and added to the lemonade, you have a 50-50 mix of tea and lemonade. Removing 1 cup of that mix and putting it back in the tea pitcher makes there be a 50-50 mix in both pitchers.
Increasing the quantity in each pitcher does nothing to change the fact that the mixes end up in the same ratio:
tea:lemonade in Pitcher 1 = lemonade:tea in Pitcher 2
Answer:
The constant m=-4, and b=33
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x)= MX+b
If f(6)=9 then x=6, m= -4
9= -4(6) + b
9= -24 + b
b= 9 + 24
b= 33
Therefore the constant m, which is the slope is -4 and b which is the intercept is 33
By Pythagoras Theorem,
the length of the other leg= (63^2-52^2)^1/2
