Solving Proportions Tara Lint MAT 222 Week 1 Assignment Instructor: James Segala August 18‚ 2013 Solving Proportions Proportions exist in the real world. For example‚ in finding out the price of a unit‚ or the population of a specific species. The first problem that we are working with states that “. Bear population. To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula‚ conservationists captured‚ tagged‚ and released 50 bears. One year later‚ a random sample of 100 bears

Two Variable Inequalities Kristine Heckman MAT 222 Intermediate Algebra Instructor Leah Murray November 4‚ 2013 TWO VARIABLE INEQUALITIES For this assignment‚ I am going to work with two-variable inequalities and demonstrate the practical application of these inequalities. I am going to use a graph that shows the number of TV’s on the left side and the number of refrigerators on the bottom. Of course this would mean that my x axis is the bottom‚ and my y axis on the

Garcia MAT222: Intermediate Algebra (GSQ1433A) Instructor Linda Seeger August 19‚ 2014 Solving Proportions This week I learned about solving proportions. Rightfully so‚ on this assignment I have to prove or show what I’ve learned and retained by solving two problems. In this essay I will attempt to solve two problems from our textbook‚ the first one is problem 56 located on page 437 and the second one is problem 10 located on page 444 of our Elementary and Intermediate Algebra textbook.

MAT 222: Intermediate Algebra Title Page Solving a proportion as we learned this week‚ means that you are missing an import number in your equation or fraction‚ and you need to solve for that missing value. As in my example‚ I did not know what percentage of bills we each should pay. We knew each other’s salaries; but we really had to sit down‚ crunch numbers‚ and figure it out. For this week’s assignment we were asked to work through two proportions. For the first proportion‚ number

Trisha Kelly MAT 222 Week 3 Assignment Jerry Bilbrey January 19‚ 2014 SOLVING REAL WORLD RADICAL FORMULAS As complicated as radical formulas appear‚ the concept actually just extends past our knowledge of exponents and orders of operations. In fact‚ solving formulas that contain radicals is the same as those without‚ given the rues of operations are followed. Finding the cubed and square roots of these numbers is part of those rules.
