Question 1 Determine the slope for line 2x+12y-6=0 2x+12y=6 12y=-2x+6 y=-2x/12+6/12 y=-x/6+1/2 ∴m=-1/6 Find the slope of the required line‚ which is "m" (-1/6)("m" )=-1 (m)=6 Now‚ substitute m=6 into equation y=mx+c ‚i.e. y=6x+c. This line passed through point (2‚4). So‚ we substitute x=2‚y=4 into y=6x+c. 4=6(2)+c 4-12=c c=-8 ∴ The equation of the straight line that we are looking for is y=6x-8

Dyscalculia is characterized by specific difficulties with certain types of mathematics‚ and this is what differentiates it from other mathematical learning difficulties. If a child has problems with the four basic types of calculation‚ this will indirectly affect their ability in higher mathematics. If there are difficulties in understanding basic numerical facts‚ more complex calculations will also be affected. It simply takes the person with dyscalculia a much longer time to complete different

Was mathematic discovered or created. To elaborate on this more‚ we need to define the terminology first. Discovered is the thing always exist. Someone found it. Invented is the thing did not previously exist. Someone created it. What about mathematics? Mathematics is a tool‚ a model. It is something that we can use to describe or model parts of reality‚ or any other system based on quantifiable things. So‚ is mathematic being created or discovered? People have debated about this over

Philosophy through Mathematics For centuries mathematics has been the bases to almost everything we do. Whether we are dealing with complex physics or modern medicine‚ without mathematics almost nothing we have now would be possible. Mathematics is a broad topic that can be broken down into many different categories. Most people limit their mathematics to just basic arithmetic and some geometry but the world of mathematics can be expanded to be so much more. The world of mathematics includes more than

WHY PROBLEM SOLVING? • Problem solving is the most basic of mathematical skills- the reason for studying mathematics • Problem solving is an integral part of the larger area of critical thinking‚ which is universally accepted goal for all education • Problem solving shows an interaction between mathematical ideas • In the classroom can lessen the gap between real world problem and the classroom worlds and thus set more positive mood in the classroom.

THE DIVINITY OF NUMBER: The Importance of Number in the Philosophy of Pythagoras by Br. Paul Phuoc Trong Chu‚ SDB Pythagoras and his followers‚ the Pythagoreans‚ were profoundly fascinated with numbers. In this paper‚ I will show that the heart of Pythagoras’ philosophy centers on numbers. As true to the spirit of Pythagoras‚ I will demonstrate this in seven ways. One‚ the principle of reality is mathematics and its essence is numbers. Two‚ odd and even numbers signify the finite and

Mathematics and religion are two very different concepts. Scientist and Theologians have had conflicts involving the two that are usually based off of an argument that encompasses logic versus faith. However‚ using reason‚ we can come to the conclusion that it is possible for both mathematics and reason to have many different similarities. Mathematics relies on reason and logic. Although Mathematics is based off of axioms that are rarely questioned‚ we still need to justify our methods and answers

It includes 13 volumes that entail such subjects as plane geometry‚ dealing with the properties of flat surfaces and of planar figures‚ such as the triangle; proportion in general‚ a particular kind of relation between groups of numbers or quantities; the properties of numbers; incommensurable magnitudes; and solid geometry‚ branch of geometry that deals with the properties and measurement
