I need explanations for Mathematical Proofs.

erma4kov [3.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

Proofs employ logic expressed in mathematical symbols, along with natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In most mathematical literature, proofs are written in terms of rigorous informal logic.

According to Bleiler-Baxter & Pair [22], for a mathematician, a proof serves to convince or justify that a certain statement is true. But it also helps to increase the understanding of the result and the related concepts. That is why a proof also has the role of explanation.

There are many different ways to go about proving something, we'll discuss 3 methods: direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by induction. We'll talk about what each of these proofs are, when and how they're used. Before diving in, we'll need to explain some terminology.

Although I will focus on proofs in mathematical education per the topic of the question, first and foremost proofs are so hard because they involve taking a hypothesis and attempting to prove or disprove it by finding a counterexample. There are many such hypotheses that have (had) serious monetary rewards available.

In logic and mathematics, a formal proof or derivation is a finite sequence of sentences (called well-formed formulas in the case of a formal language), each of which is an axiom, an assumption, or follows from the preceding sentences in the sequence by a rule of inference.

All mathematicians in the study considered proofs valuable for students because they offer students new methods, important concepts and exercise in logical reasoning needed in problem solving. The study shows that some mathematicians consider proving and problem solving almost as the same kind of activities.

If you are buying 2 shirts for the same price, you have to calculate the cost of the shirt at half price first (1 piece of the pie) and then add it the original price (2 equal pieces of the pie since you just divided that to the price of the second shirt). That would be considered 3 out of 4 pieces off the pie or 75%. Your savings would be 25%.

What is the vertex (x,y)? h(t)=2x^2+4x+7<br> PLS SHOW WORK
Nesterboy [21]
Hack
for y=ax^2+bx+c
the xvalue of the vertex is -b/2a
and the y value is found by subsituting that for x

so

-b/2a

h(t)=2x^2+4x+7
a=2
b=4
-b/2a=-4/(2*2)=-4/4=-1
the y value
h(-1)=2(-1)^2+4(-1)+7
h(-1)=2(1)-4+7
h(1)=2+3
h(1)=5

(-1,5) is da vertex

Can someone please help me Please I'm desperate
Yuri [45]

Answer:

James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation where x is James' age:

Rob's age can be represented by x + 7, since he is 7 years older than James

Kate's age can be represented by x - 2, since she is 2 years younger than James

Add these together in the equation and set it equal to 116:

(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116

Add like terms and solve for x:

(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116

3x + 5 = 116

3x = 111

x = 37

So, James is 37.

Find Rob's age by adding 7 to this:

37 + 7

= 44

Find Kate's age by subtracting 2:

37 - 2

= 35

So, James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35
