Different Number Combinations


In combinatorial mathematics, a k-combination of a finite set S is a subset of k different numbers of S. Specifying a subset does not arrange them in a particular order; by contrast, producing the k different numbers in a specific order defines a sequence without repetition, also called k-permutation (but which is not a permutation of S in the usual sense of that term. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA



Example problems of different number combinations:

Different number combinations example 1:

How many lines can you draw using THREE non collinear (not in a single line) points X, Y and Z on a plane?

Solution:

You need two points to draw a line. The order is not important. Line XY is the same as line YX. The problem is to select TWO points out of THREE to draw different lines. If we proceed as we did with permutations, we get the following pairs of points to draw lines.

XY, XZ

YX, YZ

ZX, ZY

There is a problem: line XY is the same as line YX, same for lines XZ and ZX and YZ and ZY.

The lines are: XY, YZ and XZ; three lines only.

So in fact we can draw THREE lines and not SIX and that's because in this problem the order of the points X, Y and Z is not important.

This is a combination problem: combining TWO items out of THREE and is written the general form as follows:

n C r = n! / [ (n - r)! r! ]

Special case:

n C 0 = n C n = 1

The number of combinations (nCr) is equal to the number of permutations divided by r! to removes those counted more than once because the order is not mainly use.

Different number combinations example 2:

Calculate 4C3

Solution:

We can find the combination value by using the following formula:

n C r = n! / [(n - r)! r!]

Substitute the value of n and r into the above formula, then we get

4C3= 4! / [(4-3)! 3!]

=4! / [1!*3!]

=24/[1*6]

=24/6

=4

Answer: 4

Different number combinations example 3:

Calculate 6C6

Solution:

We can find the combination value by using the following formula:

n C r = n! / [(n - r)! r!]

Substitute the value of n and r into the above formula, then we get

6C6= 6! / [(6-6)! 6!]

=6! / [0!*6!]

=6! / [1*(6!)]

=6! / 6!

= 1

Learn Area of a Rhombus


Rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all the sides are equal. Rhombus has all the properties of a parallelogram and its diagonals bisect each other at right angles. The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the conventional formula used to calculate the area of a parallelogram b*h where "b" is the base and "h" is the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite parallel line.

Rhombus

ABCD is a rhombus and we shall derive the formula for finding out the area given its diagonals AC and BD


learning how to find area of a rhombus


Let the length AC be d1 and that of BD be d2. The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 bh where 'b" is the base and "h" is height or altitude.

We shall consider the rhombus as the combinations of two triangles ABC and ADC.If we add the areas of triangles ABC and ADC we are sure to get the area of the rhombus ABCD.

The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angles the height of triangles of ABC and ADC will be half of the diagonal BD which is equal to d2/2. We shall now calculate the area separately and add.


Formula to learn area of a rhombus


Area of triangle ABC =1/2  (d1* d2/ 2) =(d1 d2) /4

Area of triangle ADC=1/2  (d1* d2/ 2) =(d1 d2) /4

Area ABC +Area ADC = (d1 d2 )/4 + (d1 d2 ) /4 =d1 d2 /2

The area of the rhombus  = 1/2 product of its diagonals

I like to share this algebra 2 formulas list with you all through my article.

learn examples on area of a rhombus


We shall illustrate this by two examples. We are given the diagonals of a rhombus as 10 cms and 12 cms. We are asked to find the area of the rhombus. The area of a rhombus= 1/2 the product of its diagonals= 1/2 *10*12 = 60 square cm.

This is an example to find the area of the rhombus using the conventional formula. Suppose the length of the side of a rhombus is given as 12cm and the perpendicular distance between the sides is given as 10 cm the area of the rhombus =side* perpendicular distance = 10 * 12 =120square cm.

Rational Algebraic Expressions


A rational expression is an algebraic expression of the `(P)/(Q)` from ,where P and Q are simpler expressions (usually polynomials), and the denominator Q is not zero.



This rational expressions whose numerators and denominators are (or written as) polynomials. Like polynomials, rational expressions appear frequently in the Algebra II and higher mathematics. We must understand the how to perform basic operations with rational expressions and how to solve rational equations.


Two Types:-


1.Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

2.Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions



1. Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

Adding Subtracting Rational Expressions with the Like Denominators

Add and subtract their numerators and then write the results over the denominator. Then, simplify the numerator factor, and write the expression in lowest terms.

Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions with the Unlike Denominators

Rational expressions can be added and subtracted if and only if they have the same denominator. Thus, we must rewrite them as expressions with a common denominator.



2.Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions

Multiplying Rational Expressions

To multiply two rational expressions, factor them. Then multiply their numerators and denominators, crossing out the any factors that appear in both the numerator and the denominator

Dividing Rational Expressions

To divide by rational expression,and multiply by its reciprocal.


Examples:-


Example 1:

Simplify the rational expression

4x - 2
--------
2x - 1
Solution :-

Factor both the numerator and denominator completely.

2(2x - 1)
---------
2x - 1
Cancel common factors to reduce and then simplify the given expression.

2(2x - 1)
= ------------ = 2 , with x not equal to 1
2x - 1


Example 2:

Simplify the rational expression

4x + 16
---------
x2 - 16
Solution:-

Factor both the numerator and denominator completely.

4x + 16         4(x + 4)
--------- = ----------------
x2  - 16      (x + 4)(x - 4)
Cancel common factors to simplify the expression.

4(x + 4)
= ---------------
(x - 4)(x + 4)


4
= --------    , with x not equal to -4.
(x - 4)

I like to share this What is Rational Number with you all through my article.

Example 3:

Simplify the rational expression

x2 + x - 2
-------------
-x2 -2x + 3

Solution:-

Factor both the numerator and denominator completely.

x2 + x - 2      (x + 2)(x - 1)
------------- = ----------------
-x2 -2x + 3      (x + 3)(-x + 1)


Note that - x + 1 = - (x - 1) in the denominator.

(x + 2)(x - 1)
= -----------------
-(x + 3)(x - 1)


Cancel common factors.

(x + 2)(x - 1)
=--------------------
-(x + 3)(x - 1)


(x + 2)
= -------------   , with x not equal to 1
(x + 3)

Learning Compound Interest


Compound interest is paid on the principal and also for the interest accumulated in the past years. Compound interest emerges when interest is added to the principal, so the interest that has been added also earns interest. This adding of interest with the principal is said to be compounding. Compounding can be done for a time like yearly, quarterly, monthly, daily etc.


Learning Compound Interest Formula:


Learning The basic formula for Compound Interest is:

FV = PV (1+r)n

PV is the present value

r is the annual rate of interest (percentage)

n is the number of years the amount is deposit or borrowed for.

FV = Future Value is the amount of money accumulate after n years, including interest.

Learning Frequent Compounding of Interest:

If interest is paid more frequently, Here are a few examples of the formula:

Annually = P × (1 + r) = (annual compounding)

Quarterly = P (1 + r/4)4 = (quarterly compounding)

Monthly = P (1 + r/12)12 = (monthly compounding)

Learning Find the Present Value when know a Future Value, the Interest Rate and number of Periods.

PV = FV / (1+r)n

Learning Find the Interest Rate when know the Present Value, Future Value and number of Periods.

r = ( FV / PV )1/n – 1

Learning Find the number of Periods when know the Present Value, Future Value and Interest Rate

n = ln(FV / PV) / ln(1 + r)

I like to share this mathematical induction with you all through my article.


Example of compound interest


Ex 1: I have $1000.00 to invest for 3 years at rate of 6% compound interest.

Sol:  Here p=$1000, n=3, r=5

A = 1000 (1 + 0.06)3 = $1191.02.

1000.00 is worth $1191.02

Ex 2:  How many years to turns 1000into10,000 at 5% interest?

Sol :    n = ln( 10000 / 1,000 ) / ln( 1 + 0.05 ) = ln(10)/ln(1.05) = 2.3026/0.04879 = 47.19

Ex 3 :  I have $2000.00 to invest for 3 years at rate of 7% compound interest.

Here p=$2000, n=3, r=7

A = 2000 (1 + 0.07)3 = $2450.09.

2000.00 is worth $2450.09.

Angle of Elevation Learning


Introduction:

Assume that you are walking on a road. Normally your eyes will be viewing objects at a horizontal level at a distance of your height from the ground. Suppose you see a tall building in the vicinity and you want to see the top of the building. What you do is, rotate your line of sight from horizon to spot the top of thr building. The angle by which you do that is called the Angle of Elevation.

The angle of elevation and depression are a wonderful concepts in the subject of trigonometry.


Angle of elevation and depression- Definition
angle of elevation

Let AB be an object. The angle θ that is required to see the point A from point O is called the angle of elevation of the object at point O.

The angle of elevation of an object depends on the point from where it is measured. The more you are closer to the object, the more is the angle of elevation and vice versa.

Hence, it is a must that the angle of elevation of an object should always be accompanied by the information from where it is measured.

Angle of Depression is the angle by which you tilt your eye down from horizontal line to see an object which is below you.
Angle Of Depression

Angle of elevation – Practical applications

The concept of angle of elevation and depression is used very widely in estimations of heights and depths. In fact, in trigonometry, a separate topic heights and distances deals with angle of elevation and angle of depression. The angle of depression is the angle made below the horizon for objects at lower levels.
 angle of elevation of a building


Suppose the height of the building shown in the above picture (h) is to be estimated. It may not be practicable to measure that directly. But it is always possible to measure the angle of elevation θ (equipment for such equipment is available) and also the horizontal distance between the building and the point of angle measurement (d).

The basic trigonometric identity, tan θ =`(h)/(d)`, will easily give you the estimate.


Problems based on Angle of elevation and angle of depression


Let us do a  problems relating to angle of elevation and angle of depression to understand the concept properly.

Angle of Elevation Problems :
elevation
1)  A balloon is flying high. A boy looks at it. His eyes make an angle of 30 º from the ground to the balloon.

This is angle of elevation. The distance between the boy and  the flying balloon is 10 m. Find the height of the balloon above the Ground.

Here we use sine 30º formula =  opposite side / hypotenuse   = height / hypotenuse

Sine 30º= 1/2     hypotenuse = 10 m

so height = sine 30º x 10  =    `(1)/(2)` x 10m =  5 meter

So the ballon flies at a height of 5 meter above the ground

Problems based on Angle of depression

Problem 2)From the top of a light house, the angle of depression of 2 ships on the opposite side of the light house  are

observed as  45º and 3 angle 0º. The height of the light house is 200 m. Find the distance between the ships.
2 ships

Let  M be  a ship and N be another ship.   Let AB be the light house

CD is a line drawn horizontally through B.

From B  the angle of depression is 45º and 30º.

CD is parallel to MN

So angle CBM= angle BMA and angle DBN = angle BNA.

That makes angle BMA=45º and angle BNA= 30 degrees(Interior alternate angles  are equal)

In the right triangle BAN ,  tan 30º = AB/AN

Tan 30º= `(1)/(sqrt(3))`        So `(1)/(sqrt(3))`  = `(200)/(AN)`

So AN =  200√3 = 200 x 1.732 = 346.4 m

Now let us measure AM

Tan 45º = 1   Tan 45º = `(AB)/(AM)`  so AM x 1 = AB   AM= AB   AB= 200m so AM = 200 m

Distance between Ship M and the light house is 200m

Distance between ship N and the light house is 346.4 m

Add them both.

Distance between ship M and N is 200+346.4 = 546.4 meters

Probability Problems with Dice Eighth Grade



Probability is the chance that something will happen - how likely it is that some event will happen.If a trial will produce N commonly exclusive and equally probable outcomes out of which n outcomes are positive to the amount of event A, then the probability of A is mentioned by P(A) and is defined as the ratio n/ N. Thus the probability of A is given by


                                           Event (P)   = Number of Successful outcomes
                                                                   Number of total outcomes


probability problems with dice eighth grade

probability problem with dice for 8th grade:


Problem:

A fair die is thrown. Find the probabilities that the face on the die Is 

 (1) Maximum (2) Prime (3) Multiple of 3 (4) Multiple of 7

Solution:
            In the above probability problem there are 6 possible outcomes when a die is tossed. We assumed that all the 6 faces are equally likely. The classical definition of probability is to be applied here
            
The sample space is ,S={1,2,3,4,5,6}  => n(S)=6

(1) Let A be the event that the face is maximum
            Thus,
                       A=(6),        n(A)=1
            Therefore, P(A) = n(A) / n(S)
                                  = 1/6

(2) Let B be the event that the face is prime
            Thus,
                       B=(2,3,5)        n(B)=3   
            Therefore, P(B) = n(B) / n(S)
                                  = 3/6
                                  => 1/2

(3) Let C be the event that the face is multiple of 3
            Thus,          C=(3,6)    n(C)=2
          Therefore, P(C) = n(C) / n(S)
                                = 2/6
                                =>1/3

(4) Let D be the event that the face is multiple of 7
            Thus,          D  =0,           n(D)=0
           Therefore,P(D)  = n(D)/n(S)
                                  =0/6
                                  =0   (not possible)


Having problem with Probability Set Read my upcoming post, i will try to help you.

Dice problem for 8th grade:


Example:

Solve the problem for probability that when 2 standard 6-sided dice are rolled, the sum of the numbers on the top faces is 4.

Solution:

In the above problem, A dice contains 6 faces, so the possible out comes from the  both dices are      
                            = 6 * 6 
                            = 36 total number of possible outcomes 
Here the given condition is “Some of the numbers on the top of the face is 4”.
So the possible out comes are 
                   Dice 1             Dice 2
                      1         +         3           = 4
                      2         +         2           = 4
                      3         +         1           = 4
the total number of successful outcomes are 3

Final solution 
                          P (sum of 4)     = 3 / 36
                                                 = 1 / 12.

Volume of a Cylinder


Volume of a cylinder is a measurement of the occupied units of a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder is represented by cubic units like cubic centimeter, cubic millimeter and so on. Volume of a cylinder is the number of units used to fill a cube.

A cylinder has two parallel faces in its structure. The height of a cylinder is perpendicular to the two bases. The cylinder has a round base and a perpendicular height.



The volume of a cylinder formula depends on the area of the cylinder. The formula for volume of a cylinder can be written as,

Volume of cylinder = pi * r2 * h.


Formula for Surface Area of a Cylinder


The formula for volume of a cylinder depends on the area of the cylinder. The area of a cylinder can be written as, A = pi * r2. Here, pi is the constant value and r is the radius of the cylinder. To find the volume of the cylinder, we have to multiply the height of the cylinder to the area of the cylinder. The volume of cylinder formula can be written as,

Volume of cylinder = pi * r2 * h.

Here, pi is the constant variable, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. The constant variable pi is equal to (22 / 7) or 3.14.

Probability Mass Function Examples


Introduction:

In probability, a probability mass function (pmf) is a function that gives the probability that a discrete random variable and accurately equals some value. Probability mass function examples differ from portable document format defined only for continuous random variables are not probabilities as such examples. The integral over a range of possible values [a, b] gives the probability of the random variable. Some examples for probability mass function are below. I like to share this Probability Set with you all through my article.

Example 1:

At the same time two coins are tossed, what is the probability result of getting (i) accurately one head (ii) no less than one head (iii) more or less one head.

Solution:

The sample space is S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}, n(S) = 4

Let A be the event of getting one head, B be the event of getting at least one

Head and C be the event of getting almost 1head.

∴ A = {HT, TH}, n(A) = 2

B = {HT, TH, HH}, n(B) = 3

C = {HT, TH, TT}, n(C) = 3

(i)               P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 2/4 = 1/2

(ii)              P(B) =n(B)/n(S) = 3/4

(iii)             P(C) = n(C)/n(S) = 3/4


Example 2:


Two cards have chosen without replacement from 54 cards X measures the number of heart cards drawn y measures the number of clubs drawn. Find probability of joint probability mass function?

Solution:

A deck involves 52 cards.

Sample space = {all ordered pair (p, q)} = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0)}

Here, we have to find out the probability at each element of the sample space, and then we have to joint probability mass function.

X (0, 0) = (26 / 52) * (25 / 51) = 650 / 2652

X  (0,1) = (26 / 52) * (13 / 51) + (13 / 52) * (26 / 51) = 676 / 2652

X  (0,2) = (13/52) * (12/51) = 156 / 2652

X (1, 0) = (13/52) * (26/51) = 676/2652

X (1, 1) = (13/52) * (13/51) + (13/52) * (13/51) = 338/2652

X (2, 0) = (13/52) * (12/51) = 156/2652

X (s, t) = 0 if (s, t) is not in the sample space.

Free Calculus Tutoring


Introduction:

British mathematician, Isaac Newton and the German man Gottfried Leibnitz, invented the calculus. Calculus has  two classifications: Differentiation calculus, Integration calculus. Calculus is the study of rates of change, area, or volume. In symbol, we require to find f(x) where, d/dx f(x) = g(x). Integration is one of most important study of calculus in mathematics. We require to find f(x) = ∫ g(x) dx.In the trigonometric calculus the derivative of a constant is zero. There is no exact value for the integral.

How to solve linear programming problems


Linear Programming is one of the operations research techniques. It is one of the best mathematical techniques for finding the limited use of resources of a concern in a best way. Complex problems can be modeled using linear functions in a presentable way by the management. The linear programming technique is used in solving a wide range of operations management problems.

Definition of linear programming problems:

Linear Programming is defined as a technique which allocates the available resources in an optimum manner for achieving the company’s objective which is for maximizing the overall profit or to minimize the overall cost under conditions of certainty.

Linear Programming can be applied to areas which are given below:

Allocation of resources to various activities of the concern, for example: man power, machine etc.
Production scheduling.
The common characteristics in the above mentioned areas are to allocate limited resources to the activities of the concern.

How to solve Linear Programming Problems: Mathematical Formulation

Linear Programming can be used in a variety of situations. In most of the business or economic situations, the resources will be limited, the problem there will be to make use of the available resources in such a way as to maximize the production or to maximize the profit or to minimize the expenditure. This can be formulated as linear programming models.

Mathematical Formulation of the problem:

How to solve linear programming problems?? here are the steps which you need to follow:

Step 1:

Write down the decision variables of the problem.

Step 2:

Formulate the objective function to be optimized as a linear function of the decision variables.

Step 3:

Formulate the other conditions of the problem as Linear equations or In equations in terms of the decision variables.

Step 4:

Add the non negativity constraint from the consideration that negative values of the decision variables do not have any valid physical interpretation.

The objective function, the set of constraints, and the non negative constraints together form an LPP.


Steps to solve linear programming problems using Graphical Method:


When a LPP has only two variables in the objective function and constraints, it can be easily solved using the graphical method. The given information of a LPP can be plotted on the graph and the optimal solution can be obtained from the graph.

The steps to solve an Linear Programming Problem using Graphical method is given below:

Step 1:

Identify the decision variables, the objective function and the restrictions for the given Linear Programming Problem (LPP).

Step 2:

Write the Mathematical Formulation of the problem.

Step 3:

Plot the points on the graph representing all the constraints of the problem. Find the feasible region or solution space. The intersection of all the regions represented by the constraints of the problem is called the feasible region and is restricted to the first quadrant only.

Step 4:

The Feasible region obtained in the step 3 may be bounded or un bounded. Determine the Co-ordinates (x, y) values of all the corner points of the feasible region.

Step 5:

Find the value of the objective function at each corner points (solution) determined in step 3.

Step 6:

Select a point from all the corner points that optimizes (Maximizes or Minimizes) the values of the objective function. It gives the Optimum Feasible Solution.

Understanding graphing systems of linear equations is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Some Exceptional Cases of Linear Programming Problem:


There may be an LPP for which no solution exists or for which the only solution obtained is an unbounded one. The exceptional cases arise in the application of graphical method are

  • Alternative Optima
  • Unbounded Solution
  • Infeasible Solution or Non existing Solution
Alternative Optima:

When the objective function is parallel to the binding constraint, the objective function will assume the same optimal value at more than one solution point, because of this reason, they are called as Alternative Optima.

Unbounded Solution:

When the values of the decision variables may be increased in definitely without violating any of the constraints, the feasible region is unbounded. In such cases, the value of the objective function may increase (for maximisation) or decrease (for minimisation) in definitely. Thus, both the solution space and the objective function value are unbounded.

Infeasible Solution:

When the constraints are not satisfied simultaneously, the LPP has no feasible solution. This solution can never occur, if all the constraints are of less than or equal to type.




Example for some exceptional cases:


The general form of the LPP is used to develop the procedure for solving a common programming problem.

A standard LPP Some exceptional cases is of the form
Max (or min) Z = c1x1 + c2x2 + … +cnxn
x1, x2, ....xn these are called decision variable.

Ex: Show graphically that the model

Maximize Z = -5y

Subject to

x+y<span style="font-family: Serif;">?</span> 1

0.5x-5y<span style="font-family: Serif;">?</span> -10

x<span style="font-family: Serif;">?</span> 0

y<span style="font-family: Serif;">?</span> 0 has no feasible solution.

Sol:

Draw the graphs x + y = 1

- 0.5 -5y = - 10

Shade the half planes of the constraints x + y 1 …(1)

-0.5x - 5y -10 …(2)



Points are (0,1)(0,2)(1,0)(20,0)

Note that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfy the in 2nd equation hence the required region is the upper half plane.

From the graph, that the intersection of the constraints is empty. Therefore the given problem has no feasible solution. So, the some exceptional cases of given LPP has no solution.

slope formula calculator


  • If an area of surface tends evenly towards top or down, it is referred as slope.
  • The slope of a line is usually denoted by m.
  • In other words, slope is the ratio of change in the y coordinates to the change in the x coordinate. The slope is otherwise named as gradient. Slope is equal to rise divided by run.
  • In general, mathematical calculators are used to perform mathematical operations .In this article of slope formula calculator, we are going to learn how to find the slope between points using the calculator.
I like to share this slope of the line with you all through my article.

How to calculate Slope formula:


If the two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) are given, the slope formula is given by

Solving Online Type of Quadrilaterals


Solving online problems is used for learning problems through online that help students to learn easy and transfer knowledge and skills to people through online. Learn online will help kids to study anywhere at anytime.Quadrilaterals are four sided polygons. They are classified by their sides and angles. an important distinction between quadrilaterals is whether or not one or more pairs of sides are parallel. One of the more familiar quadrilaterals is a parallelogram. We see that a square, a rectangle, and a rhombus are all different types of a parallelogram. The quadrilaterals are of 4 types basically but there are some other types that satisfy the properties of quadrilaterals. Let us see about solving online type of quadrilaterals.

Squeeze Theorem Proof


The proof is a correct demonstration of math statement. It should be true. The proof of one statement is used in other statement proof. The limits of a function are defined by squeeze theorem. We can also refer the squeeze theorem as sandwich theorem or pinching theorem. Now we are going to see about squeeze theorem.

Explanation for Squeeze Theorem Proof

Define squeeze theorem:

In calculus, the squeeze theorem is used and we can analyze the function’s limits by using this theorem. The interval ‘I’ is including the point ‘a’. The functions f, g and h are derived by interval ‘I’. We gets the function as g(x) `lt=` f(x) `lt=` h(x) if we have unequal 'x' values present. In other words, the definition is `lim_(x->a)` g(x) = `lim_(x->a)` h(x) = L. Final result is `lim_(x->a)` f(x). The lower bound g(x) and upper bound h(x) are used to bounds the f(x). We does not including the value 'a' in the interval 'I'.

I like to share this Calculus Limits with you all through my article.

More about Squeeze Theorem Proof

The squeeze theorem proof is derived by previous statements and the proof of this theorem is using the special case and general notations.

Using the special cased for squeeze theorem proof:

The special case is g(x) = 0 for all x and L = 0.

First prove the special case as,

Let us take the special case as `lim_(x->a)` h(x) = 0.

Use the fixed positive number ε > 0 and δ > 0 from limits of function.

if 0 < | x-a | < δ then |h(x)| < ε.

Take the terms from above interval and the terms are 0 = g(x) `<=` f(x) `<=` h(x). So | f(x) | `<=` | h(x) |.

The conclusion of theorem is if 0 < | x-a | < δ then | f(x) | `<=` | h(x) | `<` ε.

Final proof of squeeze theorem by above condition is `lim_(x->a)` f(x) = 0 = L.

Use the general notations for squeeze theorem proof:

The g and L are arbitrary and these are used for proof. We have g(x) `<=` f(x) `<=` h(x).

Subtract the g(x) from both sides as 0 `<=` f(x) - g(x) `<=` h(x) - g(x).

Let us take x--> a and g(x) and h(x) as 'L'.

Therefore, h(x) - g(x) --> L - L = 0.

The special case is used in theorem conclusion as f(x) = (f(x) - g(x)) + g(x) --> 0 + L = L.

Hence the sandwich theorem is proved.

Metric Calculator


Metric number line is one of the important topics on the metric number system in mathematics subject. The quantities used to find lengths, capacities, weights of things etc are called measures. Many Countries have their own system of measures. But Metric System of measures is very simple and easy To calculate. Hence most countries in the world use Metric System of measures.

In Metric System,

  • Length’s basic unit is metre(m)
  • Weight’s basic unit is gram(g)
  • Capacity‘s basic unit is litre(l)


And Another name of metric system is decimal system.

I like to share this Metric Unit Converter with you all through my article.

Explanations of the Metric Number Line:
  • The metric system is used in all the places of the world, because of its superior basis metric units are linked to each other by factor of 10.
  • So while we convert one metric unit to another, we have to move the decimal point in the unique value.
  • These metric number lines give us an easy way to do these unit conversions.
metric number line

Metric units Names and Abbreviations are given below:
  • Centi-meter = cm
  • Milli-meter = mm
  • Kilo-meter = km
  • Mega meter = Mm
  • Decimeter = dm
  • Dekameter = dam
  • Hectometer = hm
  • Micrometer = mcm
  • Meter = m
  • Liter = L
  • Grams = g
  • Volt = v
The above names of units are important. And those all units are different like meter is length, liter is volume, gram is mass or weight.

Metric Number Line Units:
  • In number line we can forever multiply the unit by a factor of 10.
  • Let us make the number line and use unit as the basic unit.
  • Then we can use the metric number line for all units.
  • The unit could be decigrams, deciliters, decimeters, decivolts, etc…
Example figure for metric number line:
metric number line


Ex :  Convert dekagrams (dag) to centigrams (cg) :

metric number line

The above figure represents the example of converting metric numbers from line, here we have to choose the start point to end with stop point. Here we note two things, there is

1. Direction and,

2. The number of points necessary to move to get the stop point.

Then we have to make the decimal changes into the original number consequently.

For the above number line, we have to move three places to the right direction.

metric number line

For ex it can be 4.5 dekagram means; it could be changed into 4500 cg. Because of moved three places to right direction.

Having problem with What is Geometric Mean Read my upcoming post, i will try to help you.
 
These all are the metric number line details.

Metric Calculator - Conversion Tables and Examples:

In decimal system  to concert a higher value into lower value then we need to multiply it by powers of ten and to convert lower value into a higher value then we need to divide the number by ten.

Let us discuss about linear measure  like measures of length,weight,capacity.

Length-Conversion Table:
10mm1cm
10cm1dm
10dm1m
10m1dam
10dam1hm
10hm1km
100cm1m
1000m1km



Weight - Conversion Table:
10mg1cg
10cg1dg
10dg1g
10g1dag
10dag1hg
10hg1kg
1000mg1g
1000g1kg
100kg1quintal(q)
1000kg1 tonne(ton)



Capacity / Volume :- Conversion Table:
10ml1cl
10cl1dl
10dl1l
10l1dal
10dal1hl
10hl1kl



Ex 1 : Convert 4 km into lower units.

Sol:

4 km = 40 hm (4 × 10) = 4 × 101 hm

= 400 dam (4 × 100) = 4 × 102 dam

= 4000 m (4 × 1000) = 4 × 103 m

=40000 dm (4 × 10000) = 4 × 104 dm

= 400000 cm (4 × 100000) = 4 × 105 cm

= 4000000 mm (4 × 1000000) = 4 × 106 mm

Ex 2: Express 1267547 mm into higher units.

Sol:


12675477 mm   = 126754.7cm[1267547/10]  =1267547 x 10-1 cm

=12675.47dm[1267547/100] =1267547 x 10-2 dm

= 1267.547m[1267547/1000] =1267547 x 10-3 m

=126.7547dam[12.6754]/10000  = 1267547 x 104 dam

=12.67547hm[1267547/100000]  =1267547 x 10-5 hm

=1.267547km[1267547/1000000] =1267547 x 10-6 km

Ex 3: Convert 7m into millimeter.

Sol:

We know that ,

1m =1000mm

Therefore ,7m  = 7*1000mm

=7000mm

Ex 4: Express 10kg5dag in grams

Sol:


We know that,

1kg   =1000g

1dag =10g

Therefore, 10kg5dag = 10 *1000g +5 *10g

=10000g +50g

=10050g

Understanding very hard math problems is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Trigonometry Xi


In this section we will see about trigonometry xi. Eleventh average trigonometry is also recognized as the division of the main dealing with trigonometry functions, angle, etc. It gives the association and angles in detail with their problems. Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the trigonometric meaning concerned in trigonometric semi position identity. We have worked problems and practice problems along with solution in below. Let us see about the topic trigonometry xi.

Solved Problems for Trigonometry Xi:

Let us see about the topic trigonometry xi,

Having problem with Sine and Cosine Read my upcoming post, i will try to help you.


Solved problem 1: Try to calculate the radius of the circle in which a central angle of 45 degree intercepts an arc of length 10 cm. (use π value as `22/7` )

Solution:

Given length = 10 cm and angle = 45 degree

θ = 45 degree = `(45Pi) / 180` = π/4

r = l/ θ

r = `(10 * 4) /Pi` = `(10 * 4 *7) / 22` = 12.72 cm

Therefore, the radius of the circle = 12.72 cm.

Answer: The radius of the circle = 12.72 cm.

Solved problem 2: If cos x = `1/5` , x lies in the first quadrant. Carry out step of the values of other five trigonometric functions.

Solution:

Given cos x = `1/5` , therefore, sec x = 5

We know that,

sin2 x + cos2 x = 1, that is sin2 x = 1 – cos2 x

sin2 x = 1 - `1/5` =`4/5`

sin x = ± `2/(sqrt 5)` (take square root on both sides)

x lies in 1st quadrant, sin x is negative.

Therefore, sin x = `2/(sqrt 5)` which also gives

cosec x = `2/(sqrt 5)`

Further, we have tan x = `(sin x)/(cos x)` = `(5(sqrt 5))/2` and cot x = `(cos x) /(sin x)` = `(2)/(5(sqrt 5))`

Answer: sec x = 5, sin x = `2/(sqrt 5),` cosec x = `2/(sqrt 5)` , tan x = `(5(sqrt 5))/2` , cot x =`2/(5(sqrt 5))`
