other. The human body would be an excellent example of a living being that has bilateral symmetry. The other kind of symmetry is radial symmetry. This is where there is a center point and numerous lines of symmetry could be drawn. The most obvious geometric example would be a circle. Geometry is the branch of mathematics that describes shapes.

Psychoactive drugs‚ some powerfully so‚ activate pleasure centers of the brain‚ thereby potenti- ating continuing drug-taking behavior. People take drugs to experience the effects that come with their mind-active properties. The neurological/pharmacological factor addresses how and why drug-taking behavior got started‚ but it does not address the most sociologically relevant issues: differences in drug-taking behavior between

Chapter 3 Problem 60 Page 133 Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share a company pays divided by the current market price per share expressed as a percentage. A sample of 10 large companies provided the following dividend yield data (The Wall Street Journal‚ January 16‚ 2004). Company | Yield % | Company | Yield % | Altria Group | 5.0 | General Motors | 3.7 | American Express | 0.8 | JP Morgan Chase | 3.5 | Caterpillar | 1.8 | McDonald’s | 1.6 | Eastman Kodak | 1.9 | United Technology

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

Technology In ancient Indian mathematics was known by the general name of Ganita‚ which included arithmetic‚ geometry‚ algebra‚ astronomy and astrology. It was Aryabhatta‚ who gave a new direction to trigonometry. The decimal system too was an innovation of India. By the third century B.C. mathematics‚ astronomy and medicine began to develop separately. In the field of mathematics ancient Indians made three distinct contributions‚ the notation system‚ the decimal system and the use of zero. The earliest

Decline of the Greek Mathematics Historically‚ the Greek Mathematics had reached a high level in Greece and its colonies during the Hellenic era‚ beginning in the sixth century B.C.E. and ending in 476 C.E. when the barbarians invaded Rome. Although there were achievements made during the Roman Empire‚ the Greeks have had their best productive times before the Roman Empire – the end of third century B.C.E. Although there might be many reasons why the Greek mathematics decline‚ I think that the
