Linear equation y = mx + c graphs is a line having m as a slope and c and m as the y-intercept. This type of linear equation is known as a slope-intercept form where m and c are real numbers. Slope m shows the steepness of a line. Slope basically shows the change in … Read more
In mathematics, the ordering fractions are widely used to perform calculations of complex mathematical and statistical problems. There are two ways to order decimals, numbers, and fractions. One is the least to greatest and the other is greatest to least. Ordering fraction is a well-known technique that is helpful in determining the addition, subtraction, and … Read more
The Pentagon is a polygonal figure that has five sides. It is the second simplest polygonal figure after the square. The Pentagon has a long history in geometry and has been used in art and architecture for centuries. In mathematics, the Pentagon is used as an example of a regular polygon with an odd number … Read more
When the word ‘relative’ is used, it means that something is being viewed in relation to or in proportion to another. An event’s frequency can be measured by measuring how often it occurs. On the other hand, relative frequency measures how often a particular event occurs relative to its total occurrences. Let’s look at some … Read more
Roots of a Polynomial A root or zero of a function is a number that, when plugged in for the variable, makes the function equal to zero. Thus, the roots of a polynomial P(x) are values of x such that P(x) = 0. The Rational Zeros Theorem The Rational Zeros Theorem states: IfP(x)is a polynomial with integer coefficients and ifis … Read more
Free Fall Equation: Everyday life is filled with common motions such as free fall. When we drop something accidentally, we can observe its motion. The first part of its journey will be slow, and until the end, it gains speed, reaching its maximum speed just before colliding with another car. There are many factors that … Read more
The types of functions are determined by the domain, range, and function expression. Functions are primarily defined by the expression they are written in. Furthermore, the relationship between the elements of the domain set and the range set also accounts for the type of function. The classification of functions makes it easier to understand and … Read more
In statistics, the mean, median, and mode are the three measures of central tendency. While describing a data set, we identify the central position of the data. This is known as a measure of central tendency. We come across data every day. Newspapers, articles, bank statements, mobile and electricity bills contain them. It is impossible … Read more
The scalene triangle is the triangle with all unequal sides. All three sides of the triangle are unequal, so all three angles are also different in length. Based on the properties of its sides, it is one of three types of triangles. A scalene triangle is one in which none of the sides are equal. … Read more
Lines, Segments, and Rays: Although we all identify intuitively what a line is, it is actually difficult to give a good mathematical definition. Cruelly, we can say that a line is an infinitely thin, infinitely long collection of points extending in two opposite directions. When we form lines in geometry, we use an arrow at each … Read more
