Answer:

Pythagoras of Samos (born circa 570 and died circa 495 BC) was an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of Pythagoreanism. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy. Knowledge of his life is clouded by legend, but he appears to have been the son of Mnesarchus, a gem-engraver on the island of Samos. Modern scholars disagree regarding Pythagoras's education and influences, but they do agree that, around 530 BC, he travelled to Croton in southern Italy, where he founded a school in which initiates were sworn to secrecy and lived a communal, ascetic lifestyle. This lifestyle entailed a number of dietary prohibitions, traditionally said to have included vegetarianism, although modern scholars doubt that he ever advocated for complete vegetarianism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras discoveries

1. The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles.

2. The Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in which a, b, and c are the sides of a triangle.

3. Constructing figures of a given area and geometrical algebra

4, The discovery of irrationals and the philosophy behind it

5, The five regular solids

6. In astronomy, he taught that the earth was a sphere at the center of the universe.

Two-thirds of a class are boys. If there are 12 boys, then<br> how many girls are in the class?

son4ous [18]

Step-by-step explanation:

so 2/3 OF the class are boys...

***REMEMBER IN MATHEMATICS, ^OF^ IS USED TO SAY MULTPLICATION***

so 2/3 OF class(x) are boys and there are 12 boys...

so 2/3 * x = 12

12 / (2/3) = x

to solve use the Keep, Change, Flip method

Keep 12, change / to multiplication, flip 2/3 to 3/2

it becomes 12 * 3/2 and to solve easier 12 is same thing as 12/1

12/1 * 3/2

Multiply across (numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator)

(12*3) / (1*2) = 36 / 2

Simplify

So the class has 18 students, and 2/3 of boys (12 of the students)

we can solve for how many girls are in the class

Depending on how your teacher wants to see the work:

either 18 - 12 = 6

or 1/3 * 18 which we rewrite as 1/3 * 18/1 = (1*18)/(3*1) which is 18/3... simplified it is 6

There are 6 girls in the class.

Hope this helps! :)

4. As shown in Figure 5.111 to the right if the

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Area of the shaded part is 3.14 square unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded part = Area of large semicircle - (Area of two small semi circles)

Area of large semicircle with center O = $\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)$

= $\frac{1}{2}\pi (2)^{2}$

= 2π

Area of semicircle with center O' = $\frac{1}{2}\pi (1)^2$

= $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Area of semicircle with center O" = $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Now substitute these values in the formula,

Area of shaded part = $2\pi - (\frac{\pi }{2}+\frac{\pi }{2})$

= $\pi$

= 3.14 square unit

Area of the shaded part is 3.14 square unit.

Solve for equation √-5p=√24-p

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25,219,829 solved | 850 online

p2-5p-24=0

Two solutions were found :

p = 8

p = -3

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "p2" was replaced by "p^2".

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring p2-5p-24

The first term is, p2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -5p its coefficient is -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is -24

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -24 = -24

Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .

-24 + 1 = -23

-12 + 2 = -10

-8 + 3 = -5 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 3

p2 - 8p + 3p - 24

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

p • (p-8)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

3 • (p-8)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(p+3) • (p-8)

Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(p + 3) • (p - 8) = 0

Step 2 :

Theory - Roots of a product :

2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : p+3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation :

p = -3

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.3 Solve : p-8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides of the equation :

p = 8
