    Mirror and Magnification Equations The mirror equation expresses the quantitative relationship between the object distance (do)‚ the image distance (di)‚ and the focal length (f). The equation is stated as follows: [pic] The magnification equation relates the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height (hi) and object height (ho). The magnification equation is stated as follows: [pic] These two equations can be combined to yield information about the

    quadratic equation is an equation that has a second-degree term and no higher terms. A second-degree term is a variable raised to the second power‚ like x2. When you graph a quadratic equation‚ you get a parabola‚ and the solutions to the quadratic equation represent where the parabola crosses the x-axis. A quadratic equation can be written in the form: quadratic equation‚ where a‚ b‚ and c are numbers (a ≠0)‚ and x is the variable. x is a solution (or a root) if it satisfies the equation ax2 +

    Chemical Reactions and Equations Chemical Reaction: The transformation of chemical substance into another chemical substance is known as Chemical Reaction. For example: rusting of iron‚ setting of milk into curd‚ digestion of food‚ respiration‚ etc. In chemical reaction new substance is formed which is completely different in properties from the original substance‚ so in a chemical reaction chemical change takes place. Following are the signs of chemical reaction: (a) Change of state of substance

    Systems of linear equations‚ or a set of equations with two or more variables‚ are an essential part of finding solutions with only limited information‚ which happens to be exactly what algebra is. As a required part of any algebra student’s life‚ it is best to understand how they work‚ not only so an acceptable grade is received‚ but also so one day the systems can be used to actually find desired information with ease. There are three main methods of defining a system of linear equations. One way is

    Without knowing something about differential equations and methods of solving them‚ it is difficult to appreciate the history of this important branch of mathematics. Further‚ the development of differential equations is intimately interwoven with the general development of mathematics and cannot be separated from it. Nevertheless‚ to provide some historical perspective‚ we indicate here some of the major trends in the history of the subject‚ and identify the most prominent early contributors. Other
