Why do we use fractions to represent slope?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula for slope is sometimes referred to as "rise over run", because the fraction onsists of the "rise" (being the change in y, going up or down) divided by the "run" (being the change in x, going from left to the right).

Step-by-step explanation:

An athletics club has junior
(i.e. boy or girl) members and adult members.
The ratio of girls to boys to adults is 3:4:9
and there are 16 more adult members than
junior members. In total, how many members
does the club have

Answers

Answer:

The total number of members are 128 members

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, mixing the ratio of children to adult, we have ;

7:9

There are 16 more adult members

So if there are x children, then there are 16 + x adults

Thus, the total number of members will be;

16 + x + x = 2x + 16

Now, we have that;

7/16 * (2x + 16) = x

7(2x + 16) = 16x

14x + 112 = 16x

16x-14x = 112

2x = 112

x = 112/2

x = 56

The total number of members is thus;

2(56) + 16 = 128

MOTIVATION

Most geometry so far has involved triangles and quadrilaterals, which are formed by intervals on lines, and we turn now to the geometry of circles. Lines and circles are the most elementary figures of geometry − a line is the locus of a point moving in a constant direction, and a circle is the locus of a point moving at a constant distance from some fixed point − and all our constructions are done by drawing lines with a straight edge and circles with compasses. Tangents are introduced in this module, and later tangents become the basis of differentiation in calculus.

The theorems of circle geometry are not intuitively obvious to the student, in fact most people are quite surprised by the results when they first see them. They clearly need to be proven carefully, and the cleverness of the methods of proof developed in earlier modules is clearly displayed in this module. The logic becomes more involved − division into cases is often required, and results from different parts of previous geometry modules are often brought together within the one proof. Students traditionally learn a greater respect and appreciation of the methods of mathematics from their study of this imaginative geometric material.

The theoretical importance of circles is reflected in the amazing number and variety of situations in science where circles are used to model physical phenomena. Circles are the first approximation to the orbits of planets and of their moons, to the movement of electrons in an atom, to the motion of a vehicle around a curve in the road, and to the shapes of cyclones and galaxies. Spheres and cylinders are the first approximation of the shape of planets and stars, of the trunks of trees, of an exploding fireball, and of a drop of water, and of manufactured objects such as wires, pipes, ball-bearings, balloons, pies and wheels.

a) The series of transformations to map Circle A onto Circle B is likely a translation. b) The series of transformations to map Circle C onto Circle A is a translation, rotation, and scaling.

a. To map Circle A onto Circle B, we must determine the transformation sequence. We can scale, rotate, and translate.

Translation: An object is translated horizontally or vertically without affecting shape or orientation. To match Circle B, Circle A appears to need to be shifted right and up.

Rotation: An object rotates around a fixed point. Rotation may not be needed since Circle A and Circle B appear to be aligned.

Scaling: An object is resized by scaling. Since Circle A and Circle B are the same size, scaling doesn't seem necessary.

Thus, Circle A-to-Circle B transformations are likely translations.

b. Again, we must determine the transformation sequence to transfer Circle C onto Circle A. Translation: Based on their relative positions, Circle C needs to be shifted left and down to match Circle A.

Rotation: To align Circles A and C, they must be rotated.

Scaling: Circle A is larger than Circle C, hence Circle C should be scaled down.

Thus, translating, rotating, and scaling map Circle C onto Circle A.

Bookstore A sells a particular book for $15.25, but they have it on sale for 20% off. Bookstore B sells it for $12.45. How much more does it cost at Bookstore B?

Answers

Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount bookstore A sales after the 20% discount, cross multiply x/15.25=20/100 and you get $3.05. 15.25-3.05 gives you $12.2. substract 12.2 from 12.45 and you get $0.25. book B costs $0.25 more than book A.

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is added to 6 and the result is 4 more than 3 times the number.

Answers

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement:

''Twice the difference of a number and 2 is added to 6 and the result is 4 more than 3 times the number''.

Let us break down the statement into an algebraic expression.

First Portion:

Let the number be: n

The difference of a number n and 2: n -2

Twice the difference of a number n and 2: 2(n-2)

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is added to 6 = 2(n-2) + 6

Second Portion:

3 times the number n:  3n

4 more than 3 times the number: 3n + 4

Combine the First portion and Second Portion:

Twice the difference of a number and 2 is added to 6 and the result is 4 more than 3 times the number:

2(n - 2) + 6 = 3n + 4

Therefore, the required algebraic expression is:

2(n - 2) + 6 = 3n + 4

BONUS SOLUTION to determine the number n

Let us solve the expression

2(n - 2) + 6 = 3n + 4

2n - 4 + 6 = 3n + 4

flip the equation

3n + 4 = 2n - 4 + 6

3n + 4 = 2n + 2

3n - 2n = 2 - 4

n = -2

Thus, the value of n = -2
