Where will I ever need algebra? Where do you need square roots? When will I ever use the Pythagorean Theorem? Will algebra even be ’relevant ’ in the future? These are a few of the many questions that one asks when they have to take an algebra course. This is a required subject in most colleges to further ones education. The first year of algebra is a prerequisite for all higher-level math: geometry‚ algebra II‚ trigonometry‚ and calculus. It is quite true‚ while many people get by without an education

They learned theses things form the Egyptians and the Babylonians. They learned how to solve geometric constructions like circles‚ squares‚ and pyramids‚ they also learned how to determine they lengths of objects from the Babylonians by using Pythagorean theorem. Building upon what they learned from the Egyptians and Babylonians they found fundamental truths in geometry‚ and from these truths they mad propositions called axioms‚ through deductive reasoning the Greeks would use these axioms to find

Where p and q are constants. Vieta also discovered a formula for the roots of the quadratic equation. For the mentioned quadratic equation (i.e that‚ which coefficient (in case x2 is in it) is equal to figure one) x2 + px + q = 0 root sum is equal to coefficient p which is drawn with the opposite sign and root’s product is equal to free term q: x1 + x2 = -p x1x2 = q In case of unreduced quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0: x1 + x2 = -b / a x1x2 = c / a Impact on Today’s world Today

side to the other two sides and its corresponding angle: Relate that either of these relations reduce to simpler forms for the case of right triangles‚ particularly: 1. Law of Sines reduces to c = c = c. 2. Law of Cosines reduces them to the Pythagorean Theorem. Solving Oblique Triangles Explore the types of triangles and how to solve them. All oblique triangles make full use of the sum of angles rule that A + B + C = 180º in all triangles. All other elements require select application of
