When we’re writing, we can use a thesaurus to find a different word with the same meaning to present an idea. How can we find di

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Math has the particularity that it is a logical construction.

This means that we can start with an expression X (where X is an equation, not a variable)

Now we can apply a lot of "math" to this equation in such a way that we can rewrite it, but the actual "meaning" of the equation will not change.

An example of this is factoring.

For example, we can write a quadratic equation as:

a*x^2 + b*x + c.

And we also can write this as:

n*(x - k)*(x - j)

where k and j are the solutions of the equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.

What is the advantage of writing the equation in each form?

Well, both expressions actually represent the same thing, but the explicit information in each expression is different, so depending on what we want to do, we will choose one option or the other.

And we have lot's of different ways to express something, where we can find some ones really complex and useful, like the series of Taylor, where we can write a function as a summation of infinite terms.

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar cornvin a bag. What is the constant propotionality?

zvonat [6]

Since we know is a proportionality, namely a multiplier on "x", we can simply use any of those points, say hmmm let's use 10, 15,

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we know that }
\begin{cases}
x=10\\
y=15
\end{cases}\implies 15=k10\implies \cfrac{15}{10}=k\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=k$

Can you help me find the measure of each angle? Diagram attached

never [62]

<u>Answer:</u>

5x = 100°

4x = 80°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given a diagram with a straight line AC being intersected by another line BD and we are to find the two mentioned angles.

We know that the two angles (5x° and 4x°) are supplementary so their sum would be equal to 180°.

So we can write it as:

$5x+4x=180$
