Simple Problem on Solving a Linear Equation
Problem : Solve for x, x + 1 = 3
Answer :
x + 1 = 3
x = 3 -1
x = 2
So Value of x = 2
For verification you can substitute value of x in linear equation given.
Since 2 + 1 = 3 the value obtained is correct.

Problem on Factorization
Problem : Factorise -2w^4 +1250
Solution :
-2w^4 +1250
taking -2 as common
-2(w^4 -625)
-2[(w^2)^2 - (25)^2]
Applying the formula
a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
we get -2[(w^2+25)(w^2-25)]
-2[(w^2+25)(w^2-5^2)]
Again applying the formula
for (w^2-5^2)
we get
-2[(w^2+25)(w+5)(w-5)]

Question on Equilibrium using Trignometric Expressions
Question : A particle A, of weight W, is suspended by two strings AB and AC. AB is inclined at 30degrees to the vertical and AC at angle P to the vertical. The tension in AB and AC are 40N and 60N respectively. Calculate the value of W and P.
Solution :
Since the system is in equilibrium,
60 Sin P = 40 Sin 30º ------- (1)
and 60 Cos P + 40 Cos 30º = W-----(2)
From (1) we get,
60 Sin P = 40 *(1/2)
60 Sin P/60 = 20/60
Sin P = 1/3
P = Sinˉ¹(1/3)
P= 19.469º
From (2) we get,
W = 60 Cos P + 40 Cos 30º
= 60 Cos (19.469º) + 40 Cos 30º
= 60 . 0.943 + 40 . 0.866
= 56.58 + 34.64
= 91.22N
So P = 19.469º
W = 91.22N

Problem on Finding Geometrical Figure's unknown Quantity
Question : Find the area of triangle ABC where
angle ABC = 35 degrees
angle BCA = 110 degrees
angle CAB = 35 degrees
AND, length BC = 4 cm
ANSWER:
Description Step1 : b = AC = BC because triangle ABC is isosceles
Triangle ABC are isosceles because angle ABC=angle BAC=35 degree
Description Step2 : sin 70 degrees = h/4
0.9369=h/4
h = 0.9369*4 = 3.759
Step3: Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*(4)(3.759) = 7.518 cm2

Definition of Expanded Form of any Numbers
Topic : Expanded Form
Question : Definition for Expanded Form, Explained with an Example.
Answer :
Expanded form is a way to write a number that shows the sum of values of each digit of a number.
about them comes out into the open.
The simplest way to write numbers in expanded form is to write them
sort of in English.
For 4,017, this becomes 4 thousands and 0 hundreds and 1 ten and 7
ones. This can be made to look like math by changing the words to math
symbols.The expanded form for 4,017, then, is:
4 x 1000 + 0 x 100 + 1 x 10 + 7 x 1
The expanded form shows what each digit is worth (for example, the 4
is worth 4 x 1000, which is the same as 4 thousands, which equals
4000).
Here is another example.
12,345 becomes 1 ten thousand and 2 thousands and 3 hundreds and 4 tens
and 5 ones. Changing the words to math symbols, 12,345 in expanded form
is:
1 x 10,000 + 2 x 1,000 + 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 5 x 1
Standard form is the reverse of expanded form. You begin with expanded
form and change it to the way we normally write numbers.
For example, 3 x 1,000 + 5 x 100 + 7 x 10 + 4 x 1 can be changed to
3 thousands and 5 hundreds and 7 tens and 4 ones. This becomes:
3000 + 500 + 70 + 4
