TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again‚ we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that. ISSAC NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION Newton’s law explains why planets move the way they do‚ and how gravity works‚ both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the

06.05 Applications of Systems of Equations Part 1 1. Tony and Belinda have a combined age of 56. Belinda is 8 more than twice Tony’s age. How old is each? Tony’s age = t years‚ Belinda’s age = 56 - t years 56 - t = 2t + 8 56 - 8 = 2t + t ==> 3t = 48 ==> t = 16 years THUS Tony = 16 years‚ and Belinda = 40 years 2.

Universal Studios Advisory Board Recommendations for the pursuit of the production of programming in partnership with WWE Recently‚ we at Universal Studios have been approached by Mattel Toys to begin working on the production of a children’s program with the intent of marketing its World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) action figures to children for their economic gain. While there may also be the opportunity for monetary gain for Universal Studios in such production‚ there are several legal

of -1. Straight Lines: Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c‚ where m = gradient‚ c = y-intercept. The equation of a line‚ if we know one point and the gradient is found using: (y - y1) = m(x - x1) (If given two points‚ find the gradient first‚ and then use the formula.) Two lines meet at the solution to their simultaneous equations. Note: When a line meets a curve there will be 0‚ 1‚ or two solutions. 1. Use substitution to solve the simultaneous equations 2. Rearrange them to form a quadratic equation

The reason why the Drake Equation is not a successful science is because it would be impossible to calculate some of the elements in the equation. The elements would take too long to get an accurate sample to give a scientifically sound explanation. For instance how would you calculate fi (the fraction of intelligent life forms)‚ how do you define intelligent? Is intelligent like you and I‚ is it like a bird or a rat‚ could it be a plant? There is no way to truly determine what counts and doesn’t

Straight Line Equations and Inequalities A: Linear Equations - Straight lines Please remember that when you are drawing graphs you should always label your axes and that y is always shown on the vertical axis. A linear equation between two variables x and y can be represented by y = a + bx where “a” and “b” are any two constants. For example‚ suppose we wish to plot the straight line If x = -2‚ say‚ then y = 3 + 2(-2) = 3 - 4 = -1 If x= -2 -1 -1 1 0 3 1 5 2 7 As you can see‚ we have plotted the

Quadratic equation In elementary algebra‚ a quadratic equation (from the Latin quadratus for "square") is any equation having the form where x represents an unknown‚ and a‚ b‚ and c represent known numbers such that a is not equal to 0. If a = 0‚ then the equation is linear‚ not quadratic. The numbers a‚ b‚ and c are the coefficients of the equation‚ and may be distinguished by calling them‚ the quadratic coefficient‚ the linear coefficient and the constant or free

The Drake Equation is used to estimate the number of civilizations in the universe. It is more of a tool to use and help us understand and figure out how many worlds are out there. Each of the terms are being multiply to get the outcome for N‚ which is the number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetice missions are detectable. According to SETI website‚ the Drake Equation values R*‚fp‚ ne‚ fl‚ fi‚ fc‚ L are defined as the following. In the first part of the equation is R*.
